Ala. Gov. May Aid Negroes To Vote

Montgomery, Ala, April 18-
Alabama, one of the more stubborn
of the die-hard Southern states,
may have the door for Negro vot-
ing widened if one of Gov. James
Folsom's plans goes through.
Alabama still has a poll tax
qualification for voting although it
has been watered down consider
ably. 1t operates enough, how
ever, to keep many Negroes and
poor whites from the polls. The
biggest bar to Negro voting, how
ever, is not the poll tax. 1t is an
ingenious and devious system of
registering voters. Each county
has three registrars. These regis
trars use every trick to keep Ne
groes from getting on the polling
