Warnings Injunction
Becomes Official,
Anti Civil Rights Oath

CHARLESTON, S. c., July %.
(ANP)-U. S. District Judge j..
Waties Warnings historic court Or
der calling for Negro participation
in the primary elections of the
Democratic party official last
week, when it was properly signed
and recorded.
A new provision has been added
since the original order. This pro
vision demands that the party
drop it's anti-civil rights and anti
FEPC oath.
Other provisions of the order
call for the party to keep it's books
of enrolment open every day 10
a. m. to / p. m. and 3 to 6 p. NJ,
until July 81, and the elimination
of the provision that Negroes must
show their general election certifi-
Gates in order to vote in the par
ty primary.
The fact that the oath had not
been eliminated was brought to
the attention of the judge by
Harold r. Boulware of Columbia,
one of the two colored lawyers
for the plaintiff. The lawyer was
reminded of the oath in an arti-
Gle in a local daily, the News and
Courier.
In abolishing the oath the order
restraints and enjoins the party
From requiring of prospective
voters in Democratic primaries of
South Carolina any oath than that
the prospective voter meets the
qualifications as an elector as set
out in the constitution of South
Carolina, and is a Democrat and
will support the election of the
nominee of the Democratic party
at the ensuing general election"

the party member to swear sup

hAACP Wins New York
Covenant Case

NE w YORK, July 28.-White
property owners in st. Adams,
N. Y, have lost a two years court
fight to restrain Samuel Rich
ardson, a Negro from buying and
occupying a home intheir neigh
borhood. On July 16, the New
York court of appeals handed
down a decision banning the en-
forcement of restrictive real estate
covenants in this state.
This decision came in the case
of Kemp VS.. Rubin, which began
in 1916. At hat time, Mr.. Rich
ardson contracted for the pur-
chase of a home in st. Athens,
a restricted area. Harold F. Kemp,
John HI. Lutz and other co-sign-
ers of an agreement barring Ne
gro occupancy, brought suit
against Mrs. Sophie Rubin, the
owner Of the home, seeking to
prevent the transfer of the prop
erty to Mr.. Richardson. The MA
ACP, through its attorney, An
drew . Weinberger of New York
City, undertook the defense of
Mr.. Richardson.
In March, 1916, an injunction
was granted by Judge Jacob Liv-
ingston in the supreme court of
Queens county. On appeal to the
Appellate division, Judge Living
ston's decision was unanimously
affirmed in February, 1947. This
decision was reversed by the
Court of Appeals on July 16, on
the basis of the United States Su-
preme court decision of last May
3, which held that such agree.

SatchePs Hesitation
Declared Illegal

WASHINGTON, July %. CAN
P)-One of Satchel's Paige's most
effective pitches, the Hesitation"
ball, was ruled illegal this week
by Pres. Will Harridge of the
American league, Manager Lou
Boudreau of the Cleveland In
dams announced.
The Harridge decision, Bou-
dreau said, was made after the
Washington Senators protested
against the delivery used to stop
them in a night game Monday,
July 10. 1t is feared that Har-
ridges ruling will cause the Sen
ators to protest the game which
they lost 7 to 6.
Manager Boudreau said that he
would appeal the decision on the
grounds that the pitch is not in
cluded in the rule book. On this
pitch, the famous hurler pauses
momentarily before throwing the
ball. This action throws the batter
off stride, it is claimed.

socially and educationally, belief
in the principles of states rights
and opposition to the proposed
FEPC legislation.
In making his order, the Judge
declared that it must be obeyed
in "letter and spirit" fully. The
party will pay the costs of enroll
ing the voters.
The judges ruling on the oath
brings up the question of how the
party can possibly support the
dixiecrat nominees, Gov. j. Strom
Thurmond of South Carolina, and
Gov. Fielding Wright Of Missis-
sippi for president and vice presi-
dent.
In conclusion Judge Waring
ruled that the Democratic pri-
maries in this state "are the only
material and realistic elections"
and that they are the only cleo
tons the plaintiff, David Brown,
"a make a meaninful choice and
use his right to vote. The Demo-
cratic party, he ruled, is IAN in
tegral part of the election ma
chinery of South Carolina.".
