SUPREME COURT
TEST OF POLL.
TAX PLAN ned

WASHINGTON, d. c. (NNPA)-
A Supreme Court test OF the consti.
tutionality of the poll tax is planned
by a new organization composed of
service mems parents and wives.
with the backing of Senator Guffey
I'D. OF Pao, according to an an.
-nouncement here last week.
Action will be started soon in the
federal courts Of Virginia with the
ultimate aim OF outlawing the poll
tax laws OF that state and the other
poll tax states. declared Arthur
Dunn. lawyer from New York, in
q press conference held in the office
OF Senator Guffey.
The organization is called THE
parents and Wives OF Fighting
Americans" Sen. Guffey said il has
his wholehesrted support.
The test. it was indicated. will be
based upon a decision OF the Vir-
ginia Supreme Court which held
that the poll tax was designed To
sbridge voting rights. Efforts will
be made 10 test the validity of the
Congressional reapportionment act
Of l94l, by which Virginia's man-
bership in the House of Representa-
tives was apportioned on the basis
Of the total population rather than
on the number entitled To vote.
The organization has pledged its
support in the fight 10 get the Sem
ate To adopt cloturc rule TO shut
off the filibuster planned by the
Southern bloc when the anti-poll
tax bill comes before the Senate.
The plans call for establishment
az chapters OF the organization first
in the poll tax states, Mr.. Dunn
declared.
