BY the As,ocioted Press

MONTGOMERY, Ala, May A.
Democrats voted in Alabama today
on whether they will leave the party
which has carried this State in every
election since 1872.
The issue Is the civil rights pro-
gram advocated by President Tru-
man. 1t would force changes in
Southern racial laws. including
those providing for segregation. No
candidate in the major races today
favors either President Truman or
his civil rights program.
Two methods of opposing the
regular Democratic nominees for
President and Vice President are
before the voters.
Court Ruled on Issue.
One method, unprecedented in re-
cent history, is offered in the race
for presidential electors. The State
Supreme Court has ruled that the
IL electors, the men who actually
cast Alabama's vote for President,
may vote as they please in the cleo
toral college.
Twenty-one Of 20 candidates for
these posts have signed a pledge
they will not vote for President Tru-
man, or for any other party nominee
who supports the Truman civil
rights program.
The other method would be cleo

the most attention of the voters
Eighty-four candidates seek the 26
places. Twenty-four are running
for the eight delegates at large
places.
In addition to these two contests,

dates are Thomas H. Maxwell,

candidate pledged against President
Truman; Wallace Pruitt, Chatom

political bid.

Prosecution CHARGES
Defense Fund Tapping
In Hod Carriers Trial

Although $4,000 was pledged by
the District Council of the Inter-
national Hod Carriers Union (AFL)
for a wartime civilian defense fund,
only s25.00O was recorded as having
been paid, according to Government
evidence in the District Court labor
conspiracy trial.
Six men linked with the Hod
Carriers Union are on trial, charged
with conspiracy, through which the
prosecution says 100000 of union
funds were stolen. The Government
charges much more than $25, 900 was
raised in the defense drive, but that
the fund was another method used
in the conspiracy for tapping money
Illegally. The defense money was to
have gone to the Central Labor
Union, according to testimony.
Leo A. Rover, special assistant
TO the Attorney General, said the
council kept no separate bank ac-
counts for the fund, and only a few
numbered receipts were given those
who paid. This, the prosecutor said.
makes an accurate audit difficult.
Introduces Minutes.
Mr.. Rover yesterday introduced
union minutes to show that a con-
tlnuous drive was put on to make
the laborerS pay into the fund.
Union members were required to
donate one days pay to the fund
or be assessed 81, Government evi-
dence showed.
Mrs. Dorothy Bond Kelly, wife of
the missing defendant, Larry Kelly
was excused from the witness stand
yesterday afternoon, subject to re-
call. Defense Counsel Austin F..
Garfield said he may want to cross
examine her later.
The defense contends Kelly Is
dead, but the Government has OBJ
tanned a separate trial for him.
Failed to Remember.
Mrs. Kelly failed to remember
nnanclal transactions, even when
her memory was refreshed" by
documents placed in her hands.
She said she acted largely at her
husbands direction.
She had been indicted with the
other defendants, but at the outset
OF the trial, Mr.. Rover announced
the Government was dropping the
case against her for insufficient
evidence.
Cross-examined by Mr.. Garfield,
FBI Agent Milton Singman con-
ceded Kelly appeared to be in charge
of the defense fund. Some of the
money appears to have gone into
Kelly's bank account and Kelly
transmitted the money to the Gen.
trail Labor Union, the witness said.
None Of it, Mr.. Singman declared,
appears to have gone into the bank
account Of Local IA, the council or

about 5000 persons.
The added jobs would be mostly
personnel and administrative posi-
tions, with accompanying clerical
work forces. Although it would in
crease employment here, it would
not result in greater overall postal
employment, because 1t would
eliminate some unnecessary" field
! functions.
Another thing the committee is
sharply critical of is the Post Office
Departments lack of a personnel
office setup. despite the fact it Is
