gros may vote in Georgia's Demo
cratic white primary elections,
Federal Judge r. Hoyt Davis ruled
today. in awarding 800 damages
to Columbus Negro who charged
that he was denied the right to
vote.
Judge Davis ruled for Primus
&c. King, who brought suit several
weeks ago in nited States Dis
triet Court here against members
of the Muscogee County (Colum-
bus) Democratic Executive Com
mittee. The Negro said he was
denied the right to vote in the
most recent primary held in Col
umbus.
Judge Davis said the defendants,
acting as the duly constituted
authorities of the Democratic Par
ty, in refusing to permit the plain
tiff to vote in said primary solely
on account of his race and color,
deprived the plaintiff of right
secured to him by the Constitution
and laws of the United States"
