ployed: Consistent and patent dis
elimination against plaintiffs, par
ticularly since there was not a
single colored voter registered, al
though there were 1892 colored
persons in the parish"
The opinion pointed out that
there were 5000 white registered
voters in the parish, and compared
the situation to Caddo Parish
where there were 52,9S9 voters, S.
200 Of which are members of the
Negro race.
The ruling further said, "This
is enough, taken automatically, to
give the plaintiffs the injunction
they seek"
Mrs. Brice, Judge Porterie con-
tinued, had rushed to the part of
the law which may require appli-
cants to produce two creditable reg
istered voters of his precinct tc
make oath as to the identity of
the applicant. He asserted:
For some 81 years the register
has failed to be able to establish
the Identity of a single colored APP
pllcant as she has been able tc
do nine out of ten times, under hel
own admission, of white applicants
We are yet to find one colored
applicant who has been able to
make proof Of his Identity"
Judge Porterie ruled that the law
was administered as a subterfuge
for Systematically excluding Ne
groes from the registration rolls
resulting in their being denied the
right to vote solely on account of
race, or color" AS such it violates
the 18th and 18th amendments, the
ruling asserted.
The court ordered an injunction
to be issued directing the registra-
ton OF voters to refrain from dent-
ing the plaintiffs and other quail
lied Negroes the right to vote on
account or race or color, then or
dered plaintiffs counsel to prepare
formal Judgment for plaintiffs in
conformity with the opinion which
Judge Porterie filed.

In denouncing the new "White
Democrats" organization, Mrs.
Hurley SAID:
after two World Wars in which
Negroes fought as all other loyal
Americans for freedom and demo-
cracy, and while they are at this
moment fighting in the Korean
conflict; after the killing of Nh.
and Mrs. Moore in Minis, the das-
tardly killing OF Samuel Shepherd,
the bombings in Miami and cross
burnings in Tampa, it is incredible
that there are those in Florida who
would thus continue giving am
munition to the Communists. The
white Democrats of the South
should get an Iron Cross for It's
meritorious contribution to Com
munism."

Dallas Eagles Sign
Prep Baseball
Star 70 Contract

DALLAS, Texas = Diminutive
Tommie Phillips, 16-year-old Mid
land, Texas meteor was signed to a
baseball contract here by Eagle
president-owner, R. w. Burnett, a
few minutes following his arrival
in Dallas at SIS Monday morning.
Phillips was the student sensation
of the 4-day Dallas Eagles trials
held last February in quest of
promising Negro baseball talent.
1t was in the intra-squad game on
the final day that Phillips attract
ed attention of 500 fans and all
the baseball scouts in the park by
his brilliant work behind the plate.
He caught the full nine inning
game and hit safely twice in three
official trips to the plate.
His ability to hit Texas League
pitching will largely determine
whether the sticks with the AA
Eagles OF whether he is sent to a
league Of lower classification for
further seasoning. Admittedly, the
Midland Mite is a colorful "NATU-
RAIL- who is really baseball wise
and smart for one of such tender
years. However, he has played
semi-pro ball with the fast Mid
land Indians for the past three
years and left this outfit only last
Sunday when he caught the train
for Dallas in answer to the Eagles
management call.
At the G. w. Carver High School
in Midland, Tommie was on out

Both Jackson and "Black Dia-

A flock of Cub errors in the
ninth, two straight by the short

has a unique formula for movie
success: Make 'em timeless.
The 19-year-old Kong" is the
surprise hit of the year, outdraw-
ling most of the 1852 films at the
Nations box Offices. Merriam C.|
Cooper, who made the picture with
Ernest Schoedsack, should be kick
ing himself. but he isn't. It's the
only movie Cooper has made with
out holding a percentage of the
profits.
II have no regrets: what's past
is past" said peppery Cooper, al
brigadier general who served in
both World Wars. II hold no
grudge against RKO, which is dis
tributing the picture. I'm happy
to see Kong making money for
them"
"Kong's" success bears out Coo
Iper's theory of movie making :.
The veteran Aim producer, long
associated with Director John
Ford, shuns subjects which will be
dated by the passing of time.
Ford and I both foresaw the
value Of the reissue market and of
television." Cooper remarked.
"Since the war. we have made only
timeless pictures. The only mod
ern story we made was Mighty Joe
Young That was during the time
OF the New Look but I had the
women dressed in classical lines.
Lately, Cooper and Ford have
made lot of Westerns. But you
can tell where Cooper's great in
terest lies. He spoke earnestly
about his two spectacular projects,
Kong" and Mighty Joe Young"
1T cost about 100000 to make
Kong and it took us a year."
He reported. "All of it was filmed
in Hollywood. with the exception
OF some port scenes, which we
made at San Pedro. Willis O'Brien,
who did the technical work, and I
had to invent the trick stuff as
we went along.
I'VE had to do the same thing
with Mighty Joe Young 1t didn't
do as well as Kong because it
wasn't as good a picture. Also,
it cost too much-a little over two
million. I had just returned from
the war. and I didn't realize that
costs had doubled"
Does Cooper have another spec
tacular film in mind?
"You bet I do." he replied posi-
lively. Its Just as wild an idea
as Kong and I have hireo
OBrien to start work on the
technical aspects. But I'm not
telling what it's about. I think
there is more value in projects like
these if I keep them secret. No
body knew what we were doing
when we made Kong When it
opened in the Radio City Music
Hall, 1t hit like a bombshell."
