%AAegroes 81 Vote In Georgia Primary

Athens Democratic primary last
week. It was the first time in 40 I
years that Negroes had voted in the
Democratic primary election. Ac-
cording to the city clerk, upwards
of Is per cent Of the 500 registered
Negroes participated in the ballot
ing which is tantamount to election.
Decision to permit Negroes to
vote in the Athens city primary
came few days before the election
when the Clarke County Demo-
cratic Executive committee voted
9 to / to comply with the federal
election laws as decided in ruling
by Judge T. Hoyt Davis of the u.
S. District court. Judge Davis had
ruled that the Muscogee Demo-
cratic committee had erred in bar
ring the Rev. Primus King from
voting in the July, 1914, Columbus
primary on the basis of his color
and race and fine was assessed
with interest against the defend
ants. In his ruling, Judge Davis
said the state of Georgia could not
bar Negroes from voting in the
vital elections on the basis of rul-
ings in the Texas and Louisiana
cases decided by the u. S. Supreme
Court and under constitutional law.
The Athens committees ruling
followed a heated session in which
officials let it be known that they
would not ''hold the bag" in defying
Judge Davis ruling. It was pointed
out that Judge Davis had the power
to hold the committee members in
contempt of court and to fine and
imprison them, or impose both pun
ishments, if the committee should
fail to comply with the law.
| According to the Athens Banner
Herald, two of the members of the
Clarke Executive committee insti-
tuted the action to change the Gus
tom of holding a white primary to
the exclusion of Negro voters. They
informed Secy. Lumpkin they were
of the opinion that the law required
that Negroes be allowed to vote in
the Democratic primaries. A meet
ing of the whole committee fol-
lowed and after considerable de-
bate, the body voted 9 to to per-
nit Negroes to vote without re-
striction.
There were no incidents on cleo
tion day, although police watch was
kept over the polling places at the
provision Of the committee and the
promise of Mayor Robert L. Nc
Worther that there would be no
confusion at the polls. Mayor Nc
Worther was renominated to the
post for the third term.
Georgians generally were hailing
the breakdown Of the primary bar
rier in Athens, hopeful that other
executive county committees would
follow the Davis ruling pattern.

white Officer Calls Army
Jim Grow Protest Nonsense

CHICAGO, Dec. 3 (ANP).-De-
spite the humiliation of service in
segregated army units, Negro SOL
diers have no official right to resent
or protest according to Capt. Leroy
T. Snyder, white, former command
ing officer of the deactivated 674th
Ordnance Ammunition company.
Rebellion in the face of United
States army Jim crow asserted Sny-
der, an ex-New York City cop, is
nonsense"
That is the charge leveled against
the officer by George Coleman
Moore, AMP feature writer, former
ly assigned to the unit. Before the
company disbanded Nov. 8, Moore,
who is now discharged, said 1st 1t
Marvin Great, white, Eden Rapids
Mich, personnel officer, asked him
to write the history of the organi-
zation for war department records
but when the story was completed
Snyderobjected to criticism of army
segregation policies.
It was then the commander
shouted in angry rage whats al
this nonsense" and told Great he
was striking the passages attacking
army racial bias.
According to Moore, fourth army
headquarters at Houston, sent di-
rective to the 674th at Camp Cru
Der, Okla, where it had reassembled
after redeployment furloughs, re-
quiring the history prior to deacti-
vation. The statement specified the
account would be ''non-statisticar
since such information already ex-
listed elsewhere but must be 'analy-
tical and interpretive" with empha-
sis on mistakes in the field and sug-
gestions for corrections.
Moore said he examined among
other things the army Jim crow pat
tern and found it unsound, moral
and psychological mistake. Only
complete integration in all branches
of the services could possibly be the
solution, he wrote.
Pointing out the effect army
segregation has on "the military
proficiency, spiritual development,
and mental attitudes of Negro
troops" Moore said such discrimina-
tion is ''in conflict with our ideals
of human justice, the widely her
aided four freedoms and specific
provisions of the Atlantic charter.
In a word, they defeat our concept
of governance and abort our pledge
in world war to plant the demo-
cratic virus in the soil of peoples
minds everywhere.
commanders and enlisted men
who have given the matter some
thought acknowledge that the phi
losophy of segregation in the use of
