To Bring U. s. Prosecution
BY the Assoeiossd Press

The Justice Department in the
future will prosecute under the
criminal code "any State or party
official who attempts to prevent a
person from voting because of color
in a primary or general election.
The departments policy was out
lined by Solicitor General J. Howard
McGrath at news conference yes
terday.
''It is our position" Mr.. McGrath
said, that the law has been settled
by the Fifth Circuit Court of Ap-
peals and the denial of certiorari by
the Supreme Court in recent
Georgia case, in which it was held
that Negroes were entitled to vote
in primary elections"
In suit brought by Primus E
King, Columbus, Ga, the Fifth Cir
cult Court OF Appeals held that the
Democratic party primary was an
essential part of Georgia's election
process and that party officials were
in fact acting for the State in con-
Quoting them.
| BY its refusal last week to review
the decision in the Georgia case, Mr.
McGrath said the Justice Depart
ment took it that the Supreme Court
'let stand as law" its decision hold
ing that person could not be denied
the right to participate in a Texas
party primary because of color.

the victims widow, who had been in
Otto's apartment at the time, had
previously told the jury the alterca-
ton took place in a hallway outside
the apartment after she had opened
the door for her husband.
Mrs. Bennear testified she stayed
in the Otto apartment from time to
time at her husbands request be-
cause she was subject to paralytic

her alone at their home "in the
country while he was at work at
the hospital.
| Otto said he had suffered broken
ribs and other injuries in previous
