Breaking down his 65. per cent estimate, Mr. Richardson attributes it to the following: NEON % ‘9 Regular Democratic party voters Roosevelt, 25 per cent, and M Myers’ personal popularity among the members of the Negro race, 15 per cent. Because of frictions which have developed with the war, plus dislike of Police Chief Morrissey, many Negroes who have been voting Democratic may not be interested enough to even go to the polls it has been predicted. The war frictions include alleged failure to carry out presidential order 8802 réquiring employment of Negroes in war plants it is explained. In addition to the various rows with ‘the police, another source of pique with the present city administration is its alleged failure to give the Negro a break in the licensing of taxicabs. On the other hand, while respecting General Tyndall, many Negroes are said to feel that he is not familiar enough with their racial problems to be much help to them as mayor. Many also resent what they call the “regimented discrimination” which has prevailed in the U. S. army. A secondary - peeve against the Democrats, however, is the delay in bringing out the anti-poll tax bill by the senate judiciary comittee of which Senator Frederick anNuys (D. Ind.) is chairman.
