Ma|an Again Fails
To Win Approval Of
Voter Segregation
BY the Associofed Press

CAPETOWN, South Africa,
June 15.-Prime Minister Daniel
F. Malan's government failed in
Parliament last night for the
second time in less than year
to bar colored (mulatto) voters
from the common registration
roll.
The bill, part Of Mr.. Malan's
program of racial segregation,
received 1913 votes at a joint
session of both houses to AZ
against it. However, under the
constitution, the prime minister
needed a two-thirdS majority Of
the total 2O7 members, or 1873.
The 10-vote deficiency was the
closest the government has
come to passing it's bill. This
fact was due to the measures
being a modification of its pre-
decessor. permitting present col
ored voters to remain on the
common roll but assigning to a
separate register those qualify
ing in future. This plan won the
support of six members of the
Independent United Party, main
opposition group.
The Supreme Court knocked
out previous legislation chang
ing registration of the Cape
Provinces $4,000 colored voters
because the measure had not
received the necessary two
thirds vote.
While the colored electors can
vote, they cannot pick from their
own group. Instead they elect
three white members of the
House of Assembly to represent
them. Mr.. Malan'S latest bill
would have given them four such
representatives.
The defeat was the fifth the
Malan government has suffered
in the courts and Parliament in
three years in efforts to alter
the colored registration.

See Many Barriers To Be Cleared

See Republicans Tempted To Guido
Democrats In Matter OF Judicial
Appointments To Hold Negro Votes

CHICAGO, Ill.,, May 10, (Spec-
iaD - The Negro press has car
ried much publicity during the
past two years about the proba-
bility of a Negro being appointed
as a judge on the Supreme Court
of the United States, or to the
bench of one of the several Fed
eral Court Districts in America.
In addition, various metropolitan
dailies in New York have carried
items by political columnists to
the effect that Negro would be
appointed to the bench of the Fed
eral Southern District Court in
New York. Early in the beginning
of April, Walter Winchell on his
Sunday night broadcast predicted
that President Eisenhower would
fill one of the four vacancies in
the Federal Southern District bench
with a Negro. Nominations for the
four vacancies have been sent to
the senate by the President, none
of which however, was the nomina-
ton of Negro.)
At the beginning of February,
1854, law was passed by Congress
adding 80 judges to the lower
benches of the Federal Court.
1t would be expected that the
chance for a new group to get one
of their members appointed to the
Federal bench as a result of these
new places would be enhanced be-
cause no traditions no prior COM
mitments could affect such open
ings.
