Supreme Court Holds
u. ). Can Punish
Fraud in Primaries
Decides, 4-3, Power
Extends Into Stote
Selection of Nominees
BV ]. A. EOX.

Congressional primary fraud can
be punished under Federal law, the
Supreme Court ruled today, hold
ing that the Governments power to
| regulate elections includes a State
primary to select a nominee for
Congress.
The 4-to-3 decision, read by JUS
tice Stone, was rendered In uphold
ing an indictment against five New
Orleans election commissioners ac-
cused of changing votes in a primary
held last September to select a DEM
ocratic nominee fcT the House of
Representative from the second
Louisiana district.
A total of 81 votes cast for former
Representative Paul H Maloney and
Jacob Young were said to be have
marked for T Hale Boggs, the
eventual winner. District Court for
the Eastern district of Louisiana
had sustained a demurrer to the
indictment on the ground that Con-
gress has no authority to regulate
primaries, but only general elections
Douglas Leads Dissent.
The Government appealed, hold
ing that the right of voter to have
his vote counted as cast is guaran-
teed by the section of the Constitu-
ton vesting Congress with the power
to regulate elections and that con-
spiracy to nullify this right violates
the criminal code. The case will
now go to trial on its merits.
Chief Justice Hughes did not par
ticipate in the case.
Justice Douglas dissented, joined
by Justices Black and Murphy.
Unless the constitutional protec-
ton of the integrity of elections ex-
tends to primary elections, Congress
is left powerless to effect the con-
stitutional purpose and the popular
choice of representatives is stripped
of its constitutional protection, save
only as Congress, taking over the
control of State elections, may eX-
clude from them the influence of
the State primaries" Justice Stone
said. "Such an expedient would end
that State autonomy with respect to
elections which the Constitution
contemplated that Congress should
be free to leave undisturbed, SUBJ
ject only to such minimum regula-
ton as it should find necessary to
insure the freedom and integrity of
the choice. Words, especially those
of the Constitution, are not to be
read with such stultifying narrow
ness"
Need for Legislation.
In his dissent Justice Douglas de-
clared that Congress traditionally
had indicated belief that specific
legislation is necessary in order to
protect the electoral process against
the wide variety of acts which in
their indirect or incidental effect
interfere with the voters freedom
