Negroes Register To Vote In South
ing citizen who can read and write a section of the Constitution register. If he cannot meet this requirement, he can still get | on voter rolls by answering at least 109 of 300 questions. Examples: Who is the President? How many U. S. senators are
| there from Georgia?
“Negroes are not denied the J right to vote in Georgia,” says
ATLANTA, Gar. (UP)— More Negroes are registered to vote in
the South today than ever be- ^' ov - Marvin Griffin, an unwavfore and the number is growing j el ‘ n o segregationist, steadily. But they still lag far In Atlan t* and other metropolibehind the white voters. ! an ar<Jas ' Ne ^ ro regist.ation is
heavy, but in two Georgia counties with a total Negro population of more than 3,000, not a single one is a registered voter. Two years ago, officials in Randolph County, Ga., purged some GOO Negro voters from the Court injunction, 125 gained their voting rights again on grounds they were removed sole-
ly because of color.
Sen. Richard Russell has used the case to back up arguments that voters who are discriminat-'' cd against are adequately protected under present laws. The fear that Negro bloc voting might swing the balance of power in local elections has touched off scattered efforts in the South to purge voters and ward off heavy registration in the futuie. White citizens councils attempted this in some Louisiana counties with considerable success, but in one instance it
backfired.
In Minden, La., Mrs. Winnice Clement, 58 a county registrar, began administering the registration laws in what she regarded as a non—discriminatory manner. The first dozen voters she bounced off the rolls were
white.
One of the most direct assaults
against Negro voting majorities was launched this summer at Tuskegee, Ala., where the state Legislature altered city boundaries to push oil but 10 Negro voters beyond the city limits. Another bill is pending which would abolish Macon County, predomintantly population by Negroes, and divide it among
five neighboring counties. In Virginia, even the National
Negro leaders say the fact that only 2d per cent of the eligible members of their race are registered to vote is largely due to discrimination. About 60 per cent of eligible southern whites
are registered.
Many southern officials—all of them whjie- attribute the low Negro registration to a low educational level among Negroes. Inother words, fewer Negroes than whites are able to meet state-pre-scribed voter qualifications. In its latest survey, the privately— financed Southern Regional Council reported that at leant 1,238,000 Negroes in 13 southern states are registered among a Negro voting population of nearly five-million. This is a gain of nearly a quarter million
since 1952.
The storm center of the Negro voting controversy is the county registrar of voters who in some states—like Louisiana and Mississippi is given broad latitude in determining to passes qualification tests. Other states, such as Florida and Georgia, have more
upecific laws.
A registrar in Mississippi, for example, can rule a person unqualified to vote if he fails to interpret a given section of the Constitution to the official’s satisfaction. Under new voter laws, an essay on good citizenship is also a requirement for a new Mississippi voter registrant. Gov. J. p. Coleman insists that Negroes as a race are not denied the right to vote in iMisetissippi and says the reason for their low registration, eedimafed jrt 25,000 last year, is that others are
simply not qualified.
of Colored People concedes that "In most cases, Negroes are not denied th? right to vote.” Virginia and four other southern states still have poll taxes, one of the big deterrents to registration by Negroes in low econ nomic classes. Negroes in Richmond, Va., have doubled their voting strength since 1945 and their votes came close to electing a member of their race to the state Legislature this summer. •‘The embarassing fact is that Negroes voted on July 9 at approximately double the rate at which white voters turned out,” said the Richmand News-Lead-er.

CHECKS BLOOD DONORS Mrs. Willard Sunkel, as chairman of the Committee in the Blood Donor program of the Associate Chapter, Tri-Kappa Sorority, was in the Red Cross office Friday, Aug. 2nd and picked up the blood donor list. She and her helpers are to check the persons desiring to donate blood, type, condition of donor, etc and bring the list up to date. This will be a most valuable service for our local hospital in particular and the community in general. Few are aware of the enormous task this associate sorority, under Mrs. Sunkel’s leadership accomplished. One project they fulfill six times a year is assisting the bloodmobile unit from the Veterans Administration Hospital from Indianapolis in collection of blood from the State Farm. Last week something like 202 men participated in this activity. One thousand and eighty-two pints of blood have been secured from this source in the past
year.
We owe this public spirited group of civic minded women of our community a vote of sincere
thanks.

West opened the jack of hearts when this hand wa-3 played in a team match recently. In the first room, South won with the king of hearts and led a low diamond toward dummy’s jack. East won with the ace of diamonds and returned a trump. This gave West the chance to take two spades and lead a thiul trump. South eventually had to lose another diamond, and his vulnerable game vanished. There was a different story to tell when Edgar Kaplan, my favorite partner, held the South cards. He swindled the opponents out of a diamond trick by using their habits for his own advant-
j age.
Kaplan won the first trick in
and led the jack of diamonds. Simple, but very effective. East smoothly played a low diamond, hoping that South was going to lose a finesse to a queen. That’s what a defender pi actically always docs when a jack is led through his ace. Dummy’s jack of diamonds held the trick, of course, md Kaplan continueo with the other diamond. East had to ta-ke his ace this time, and the party was over. The defenders got only one diamf nd trick, and Kaplan made the game. This* deceptive play risked nothing. If West happened to hold the ace of diamonds, he would merely get the first diamond trick instead of the second. If East held the ace. he might be deceived. If East took the first diamond, he would get only what he was entitled to. In short, the play might gain, but couldn’t
lose.
