A special session of the General
Assembly was called in the spring
OF 1914 by then governor, now U.
S, senator, Olin D. Johnston, for
the express purpose of wiping the
statute books clean of primary
laws.
Up until that time, and on the
strength of a state constitutional
clause permitting the General AS
sembly to regulate party prima-
ries, the Democratic party and Its
primary elections were regulated
by state laws which specified the
"democratic' party. They were
not applicable to other party pri-
maries.
They extended to the party's
rules and regulations for precinct,
county and state conventions; for

finally has come under the shadow
of federal intervention.
Palmetto State democrats, who
have had but one object in mind
in escaping the jurisdiction Of fed
eral courts, saw two years OF
threats by the National Associ-
alton for the Advance of Colored
People made good Feb. q with
the filing in federal court here o.
a suit designed to open the pri-
mary to Negroes.
The NAACP claims that distri-
button by the party of printed
democratic ballots at general cleo
ton polling places provided a
legal loophole through which to
snipe at the party's exclusiveness.
The suit was filed in the name
of George Gilmore, Columbia, Ne
gro, who claimed he was refused
a vote in a primary election last
August Is in which a nominee for
congress was selected.
Elmore, backed by the NAACP
and the Negro Citizens committee
of South Carolina, a similar or
g%anization, asked the federal court
to declare unconstitutional the
party policy of limiting its mem
bership and vote to whites.
His suit was brought against
the primary election managers of
Ward 9 and 40 members of the
Richland County Democratic Elk
ecutive committee, and asked the
court to:
Declare the Negroes right to
vote in the primaries; issue an
injunction against the practice of
excluding Negroes; a n d enter a
$4,000 judgment for him against
the county committee ward
managers.
In addition to party distribution
of its ballots at general election
polling places, Elmore's suit de-
clared the denial to vote in the
primary was effectively a denial
to vote at all, because the states
elections were, and had been since
1875, predetermined by the pri-
mary because the state was
overwhelmingly" democratic.
Georgia, which with Texas was
caught by federal court decisions
that opened their Democratic par
ty elections to Negroes, now is en-
gagged in a legislative effort to re-
store the all white primary and
patterning its effort on the South
Carolina model.
Since the reconstruction period
when the carpetbagger used the
newly freed Negro to control
southern state legislatures the
idea of Negroes voting in their
party primaries has been abhcr
rent to the rank and file of south
ern democrats.
The threat of federal court in,
tervention to disturb this status
quo came five years ago in a de.
cision by the U. S. that opened
the Texas primaries to Negroes.
At that time, South Carolina

was found necessary during the
1916 enrolment period. Despite
this. some did enroll, a fact loudly
decried by Pearce and other
democratic leaders. who saw in il

nent books closely watched in
1913.
This will mean the hiring of en-
rollment clerks, and the necessity
of getting more money for party
Golfers. Candidates fees, Pearce
says, ARE high enough now"
The most recent development in
South Cardinals effort to keep its
Democratic party primary an all
white affair came during a state
senate committee hearing on a
proposal to install voting machines
in general elections.

Impending Clash Indicated.
While the Flanders subcommittee
report was largely conciliatory in
tone, some other Republicans fur
nished fresh evidence of an impend-
ing clash with the administration
over cost Of living measures and tax
reduction.
Although Mr.. Truman has not
yet laid down the anti-inflation pro-
gram he said must go along with
foreign economic aid, his declara-
ton that European recovery must
be financed out of taxes was widely
interpreted as indicating he will
oppose Republican-sponsored cuts
In 1948 income levies.
Representative Bender, Republi-
can, of Ohio sharpened this issue
by calling for $5,000,000,000 to
$40 ,0O0, 900, 900 tax slash which he
said can be made in the forthcom-
ing economic aid program meets
humanitarian requirements, but re-
jects extravaganza, militarism and

MIR. Bender took that stand In

committee.

ings were concurred in generally
by Senator KEN, Republican, OF
Missouri and Representative Tale

India and Freedom

Partitioned India, whose freedom from
Britain takes effect next month, now has
two governors general to guide it on its
fateful new course. With the tndepend-
ence bill nearing final passage in the
House of Commons, Prime Minister Attlee
has chosen Viscount Mountbatten to head
the Hindu state that has been carved out
of the country. At the same time he has
named Mohammed Ali Jinnah to head the
Moslem state of Pakistan. The appoint
ments have been made with the fervent
wish that the two states will eventually
become one and that they will choose to
be a permanent part of the British Com
monwealth of free nations.
In view of the ancient and bitter an
tagonisms existing between the Hindus
and Moslems, this wish may prove to be
forlorn as far as united India is con-
cerned. Yet, though they will have sep
arate governments under separate gov
ernors general Pakistan and the Hindu
state will begin their history as inds-
pendent dominions with single overall
Joint Defense Council headed by Mount
batten. They have agreed to have this
council look after their mutual security

interests until each Is able to administer
its own armed forces. Conceivably they
may find themselves 50 interdependent in
this and other fields that they will in time
come together, as Mr.. Attlee hopes, to
form one great nation in the British COM
monwealth.
Even if the country is to be perma-
nently divided, however there will at least
be reason to expect that Hindu India and
Moslem Pakistan, though refusing to unite
with each other, will remain in the COM
monwealth. Economically, politically and
militarily, this would seem to be the course
of wisdom for both of them. But their
choice, whatever it may be, will be their
own. The independence that Britain is
voluntarily giving them is genuine. The
Indian people are to be their own masters,
and 1t will be up to them now-particu-
larly their leaders-to decide the nature
of the momentous new chapter beginning
in their long and turbulent history. It is
decision that will have the most far
reaching meaning for Asia and the world
as whole.

Our New Mission to Chino

A White House announcement that
Lieutenant General Albert c. Wedemeyer
has been commissioned by President
Truman to make IAN appraisal OF the
overall situation" in both China ana
Korea portends a re-examination OF our
Far Eastern policy.
Such a reappraisal would seem to be
timely in view of the notable changes in
the situation Of both countries during
the past year. In China, the civil war
between the Nationalist government and
the Communists has intensified. This,
together with a galloping imitation, Is
reducing China's economic life to some
thing very like chaos. In Korea, renewal
of negotiations between the American and
Soviet occupation authorities seemingly
has begged down into the same deadlock
which caused a breakdown in the parleys
last year.
General wedemeyer will have the same
status as General Marshall when he was
sent on his mission to China, that OF
special representative of the President
with the rank of Ambassador. And no
man is more competent to undertake what
is understood to be probing of the deeper
aspects of China's difficulties. General
Wedemeyer was wartime commander OF
American forces in China and chief OF
staff to Generalissimo Chang Kai-shek.
The scope of his mission is further indi-
Gated by the caliber of his assistants, who
are top experts from the State, Treasury
and Navy Departments.
Obviously, we are concerned with matters
more fundamental than the political ques-
zion of whether an understanding between
the National government and the Com
muuists is, or is not, feasible. There may
be a certain parallel between the Wede-
never inquiry and the current conference
in Paris to determine the basic conditions
of European recovery. 1t is, of course,
too early even to speculate on whether
the Wedemeyer investigation could result
in financial and other aid to China under
the Truman Doctrine or an extension of
the Marshall plan to Asia. General Wede-
never Is understood to have an open mind
on these matters. His task is, Of course,
to eyaluate the situation and recommend
what the United States can do toward
expediting China's recovery. AS for Korea,
he will discover whether genuine negotia-
tions with the Russians are possible, or
whether unilateral action to rehabilitate
the American zone and establish q pro-
