LIST NO. A SURPRISE,
Speaking on what occurred at the
meeting of the Levy Court investigation
committee Monday Mr.. Eliason states
Tuesday that he was surprised at the
great number of whites on list No. g
whose names on being called off were
found listed in the office record as
negroes, and vice versa, negro names in
list No. found to be whites on the
office record. This Mr. Eliason. who
heard the names called off, judges to be
direct impugning OF the virtue Of list
No. and indicates there must have
been gross carelessness in It's makeup.
Notwithstanding the sworn statements
IN regard to care in the writing or
obtaining of the names.
1T is very suspicious Mr.. Eliason
added, "and confirms me in my opinion
OF the worthlessness of list No. s as
produced before our committee. told
the other members so Monday. The
idea of a lot Of politicians paying a
large sum of money for white mems
taxes and receiving pink tickets in ex.
change without any comment, and then
receiving pink slips for white poll
taxables without making any com
plant"
