Maybank Says South.
Won't LET Negroes
Take Over Elections

Predicting strong opposition by
Southerners in Congress to enact
ment of the Marcantorio anti
poll tax bill, Senator Maybank
Democrat, of South Carolina yes
terday served notice that the South
will not permit colored residents ito
take over our election system or at
tend our white schools"
limiting that ways will be found
to circumvent the recent Supreme
Court decision giving Negroes the
right to vote In Texas primaries
and, by implication, those of all
Southern States-the South Caro-
linian said the high court could not
have picked a worse time to stir up
this subject"
Regardless of any Supreme Couft
decision" he said, land any laws
that may be passed by Congress, We
of the South will maintain our po-
litical and social institutions as we
believe to be in the best interest of
our people"
Calls Segregation Satisfactory"
Senator Maybank pictured the
election laws and segregation OF
colored persons in South Carolina
as mutually satisfactory to the vast
majority of both races"
I'VE know what is best for the
white people and the colored peo-
ple," he asserted.
"Agitators" were blamed by SEN
ator Maybank for past and present
controversies In Congress over the
poll tax measure and other issues
directed at the South.
Won't Stand Interference"
Blasting the antipoll tax bill as
legislation against the Constitu-
ton, against States rights and
against our Southern democracy. /"
he defended Southern policy on race
questions as "deep-rooted in the
South as our civilization itself"
THE people of the South are
worried about the war" Senator
Maybank declared. '"They have not
had the opportunity to publicly ex-
press themselves as they would be
able to If conditions were different
The young men in the South are
absent in the armed forces"
The white people of the South
will not accept these interferences, "
he declared.

happened since. Too many weapons
have been put into use, and toe
many new tactics have been de-

The broadcast also referred to
Nazi anti-invasion weapons, said
the BBC account heard by United

In the course Of speculation, II
was recalled that the Germans have
put out false warnings of invasion
trying to trick underground leaders
into tipping their hands. And last

Sweden Is Expected
10 Reject Protest on
balI-Bearing Exports
BY the Associated Press.


STOCKHOLM, April 14.-The
newspaper Aftonbladet expressed the
editorial opinion today that Sweden
would say no to the British and
American demarche asking her to
stop exporting ball bearings to Ger
many. The editorial said the Allies,
as a result, probably would cut off
safe conduct traffic to Sweden.
The government made no official
statement to the Allied written re-
quest handed to the Foreign Min
lister by United States Minister
Herschel v. johnson and the British
Minister, v. A. L. Mallett, yesterday.
Breaking Of Promises Charged.
The sharply worded editorial as
serted that any break in Sweden's
safe conduct traffic would constitute
a fragrant breaking of Allied prom
ises" under which Sweden had con-
sent Of the belligerents to make cer-
tain exports to Germany. as we'll as
to bring shipping through the
blockade.
Stopping exports to the south,
Aftonbladet declared, would break
trade with Germany and mean that
markets in Spain, Switzerland and
Portugal also would be cut of.
There would be severe conse-
quences to our national economy If
we agreed to the sAllied request" !"
the newspaper said. Sweden is and
wants to stay neutral, and we have
the right to neutrality"
Called Strong Request
Authoritative American quarters
said the communication delivered to
Sweden was "a very strong request"
that she cease delivering ball bear
ings and related products to Ger
many. German production Of these
items has been a recent primary
target of the Allied bombing Of
fensive.
The Allied request did not ques-
ton the legality OF Sweden's cur
rent engagements with Germany but
contended there was considerable
Allied public opinion opposed to
any act of neutrals which aids the
enemy to kill Allied soldiers. It as
serted that the Allied war was Swe-
den's war as well.

Corp. plant in Lockland made %, 1854
engines in its three years of pro-
duction was given yesterday in the
court-martial of three air forces
officers in connection with alleged
inspection malpractices there prio,
to March 30, 1943.
Myron B. Gordon, Wright vice
president, gave the figure with Army
approval from Washington, after
defense counsel opened its case with
an announcement that it planned
to show, among other things, that
some of the practices resulted from
a vast expansion program in the
plant. Mr.. Gordon said 443 en-
gines were made in 1941, 11,5O4 in
1912 and 16,747 in 1943.
The officers accused of neglect OF
duty and conspiracy are 1t. Col
Frank c. Greulich, Maj. Walter A.

Mr.. Gordon also testified, in 9
long battle of objections from Mai

the midst Of a reorganization te
effect a 500 per cent expansion
The committee report after the visit
