Court AfKms Decree
ion South Carolina
Party Racial Ban
sy ne A,soeietsd Press

/ RICHMOND. Va. May is.-The
United States Fourth Circuit Court
of Appeals yesterday affirmed a
District Court decree enjoining the
Democratic Party of South Caro-
lima from denying Negroes full
participation in the party because
Of their race.
/ In an opinion by Judge John J.
Parker. the Circuit Court upheld
an opinion by District Judge J.
Waties Waring who ruled that Ger
tain party rules set up TO deter
mine qualifications of party mem
bers were aimed solely at exclusion
of Negro voters from primaries in
South Carolina.
4 Judge Parker cited the Circuit
Courts holding in another case in
which 1t was held that primaries
under modern conditions are a
part Of the election machinery of
the State and that a State cannot,
by allowing political party to
take over this part Of it's election
machinery. "avoid the provisions
Of the Constitution forbidding
racial discrimination in cleo
/ tions ."
Suit Brought by Voter.
Legal procedure in the latest
case was initiated by David Brown,
a qualified voter in Beaufort, S. c.
He was stricken from the voting
list in accordance with party rule
which required members to be
white Democrats who believed in
the party principles. His suit re-
suited in Judge Warnings opinion
and injunction.
The circuit court opinion said
there can be no question but that
the injunction In the South Car
olina case was properly granted.
by placing the control Of the
primaries in democratic clubs,
membership In which Is confined
to white persons. and by requir-
ing Of voters In the primaries an
oath which would effectually ex-
clude Negroes, those In control
Of the Democratic Party are at
tempting to do by indirection

earlier case) they could not do
THE devices adopted showed
L plainly the unconstitutional plr-
pose for which they were de-
signed: but. even If they had ap-
peared to be innocent they
should be enjoined If their pur-
pose or effect Is to discriminate
against voters on account of
race"
Must Safeguard Election.
The argument was presented,
the opinion noted, that a polit-
ical party does not exercise state
power, but Is a mere voluntary or
ganization of citizens to which
the constitutional limitations on
the powers of the States have no
application.
This may be true Of q polit-
ical party which does not under
take the performance Of State
functions. but not of one which
is allowed by the State to take
over and operate q vital part of
Its electoral machinery" Judge
Parker stated.
