showed that the election officials
had treated them with the same
cordial treatment that all other
voters had been given, except IN
a few cases where several Negro
voters were challenged. At the
7th precinct, located at the Fortl-
fication Fire Station, nine were
challenged and their ballots placed
in an envelope. At another, some
thirteen others were challenged,
but later permitted to cast their
ballots. At another two others
were challenged on the grounds
that they were Republicans.
In Jackson, a somewhat dra-
matte. if not humorous, touch was
added to the voting when large
number of Negro voters cast their
votes in the former Bilbo home at
Robinson and Eastview Street
which had been designated as a
voting place. An unconfirmed ru-
more spread throughout the state
following the voting that a num-
Der of white voters refused to
cast their ballots after seeing Ine
Negroes being allowed to vote IN
the Bilbo home.
Reports in Jackson stated that
a large sign had been put up at
Biloxi which read, NEGROES,
VOTE AT YOUR OWN RISK. In
spite. of the sign Negro voters
went to the nolls there and voted
without incident.
In the First District, where Con
gresham John Rankin was a
candidate for reelection, prominent
white people went around and told
Negro citizens to go to the polls
and vote and assured them that
no harm would come to them. The
report, however, has not been con-
firmed.

Bilbo'S name may be cleared if he

Attorney General Tom Clark,
making statement in Chicago
last week, promised: Il, as attorney
general, will use every force at my
command to see 10 it that i'll the
primaries and forthcoming cleo
tons, no American citizen will be
deprived of his vote because of his
race or color"
At the same time, without speci-
the attorney general said he had
already instructed United States
attorneys and interested federal
agencies to be especially alert and
forceful to prevent and prosecute
violations of the law. He cited pre-
f1c reference to the Bilbo situation,
cedentS for such action.

the first time in primary history.
The Associated Press and other
national news agencies covering
the balloting reported that Is Ne
groes were among the first IS to
vote in the primary at one OF
Jackson's largest precincts.
There was no early report on the
situation in areas outside Jackson,
where Bilbo had breathed much
of his fire of hatred and call for
violence.
Bilbo went SO far as to ask his
opponents to advocate that Ne
groes be excluded from the primary
voting and they, more or less, had
joined in the Gail for maintenance
of the status quo.
Representative John Rankin also
was a candidate for reelection in
the First District, but his race

Incidentally, Marva Louis was

In its report TO the President the

five years of life it satisfactorily
settled 5000 cases, including forty
strikes caused by racial differences
and during the last year of the war
it docketed total of 3,485 cases,
of which it settled l.191. Colored
workers filed 80 per cent of the

showed a heavier loss of jobs by
colored workers than by white and
a necessity for colored workers tc
accept the lowest paid jobs. The
report also pointed out that the
Census Bureaus unemployment
rates for the period from July
last, to May show consistently
higher rate of unemployment
among colored workers.
Concerning discrimination against
minority group war veterans, the

Probably the largest number of
Negro votes cast in the election
was in the cities of the state which
include Jackson, Meridian, Vicks-
burg, Gulfport, Clarksdale, Match
ez, Hattiesburg, Greenwood, Green
Vile, Columbia, Laurel, Biloxi,,eT
pelo, Holly Springs, and Mound
Bayou. However, in some of these
cities no Negro votes were cast,
according to reports received here
from Negro leaders because of
fear of violence and intimidation.
