from Maryland editors indicate
they believe the G. o. P. will draw
a little more strength from the
counties this year and the Dem

more often than not the State
elects a Republican Governor.

Campaign developments be-

upset present calculations as to
winning margins and easily toss
any of these States to Gov. Stew

The los electoral ballots of the
five States are a prize political
package. They represent nearly

almost two-fifths of the 266 cleo
toral votes needed to win the

In no other area Of the country
is there such a concentration of
political power. And through two
decades of political history the
States have shown remarkable
uniformity in their voting records.
In 1892, New York, New Jersey
and Maryland went Democratic
while Pennsylvania and Delaware
voted Republican. But in every
presidential election since, all
have voted alike-Democratic in
1886. 1910 and 1914; Republican

Appeal Court Uphold!
Exclusion Of Negroes
|By Bar Association

The United States Court of Ap-
peals today held that the District
Bar Association was within its
rights, as far as its charter is con-
cerned. in excluding Negroes from
membership.
The opinion upheld a District
Court ruling which dismissed a
complaint seeking revocation of
the charter.
The action had been brought by
Aubrey E. Robinson. jr., colored
attorney and Cornell University
graduate, Of 2001 Eleventh street
NV.
The suit argued that since the
bar association is permitted free
space in District Court for its
library it is the recipient If Fed
eral aid to such an extent that it
cannot exercise free choice in its
selection of members.
But the appellate court ruled
that because the bar association
allows free use of the library to
governmental employees such as
prosecutors and others it fills a
distinct need and performs a serv-
ice to the community"
The opinion continued "The
reciprocal conduct of the Govern
ment in permitting use of the
space does not =. constitute
Federal aid to the association.
The court held that the bar
association is a private corpora
ton and stated. cts policies and
conduct remain those of its
membership"
