Bar Would
Ban Negroes

Washington, D. G. (CNS) Seven
members of the District Bar As
sociation-angered over the AS
sociation's recent vote to admit
Negroes and to drop the word
white" as membership qualifica-
tion-have gone to the District
Court to seek to nullify the vote
of the group.
The seven lawyers assert that a
voice vote was taken and that this
was illegal and contrary under
the circumstances to Roberts Rules
of Order governing parliamentary
procedure. Plus they claim that
unqualified persons were present
when the vote was taken.
The voice vote of the group had
amended the bylaws so that Ne
gro lawyers could be admitted
Under the bylaws a two-thirds
vote of the membership is required
for such a change. The measure
was deemed so unanimous as tc
be carried by a voice vote alone.

Bishop Matthew w. Clair Jr., in

Bishop Clair said: Because of our
strategic situation we have the op-
