Predict Harvest Of New Industries For The STATE
Former Governor Hugh |. White Sees
Negro And White Workers Benefits
From Coming State Industrial Harvest
See Northern Industrialist Impressed Ry

Former Governor Hugh L. White,
Saturday, predicted a coming in
dustrial harvest that will benefit
both Negro and White workers of
the state as a result of the States

tour of Chicago and New York, in
search of new industries for the
state, which ended last week.
The former Governor said the
trip was the most successful ever
of the A & I Boards annual trips
to the industrial heart of the ma
ton. In both Chicago and New
York, he declared the attitude of
the industrialist we met was the
friendliest, most receptive ever.
The former Governor attributed
the success of the tour and the
friendly reception received in both
Chicago and New York to the fine
industrial and racial climate achi-
eyed in Mississippi at time when
he said, everybody thought we
had lot of trouble and tension

FEDERAL COURT RULES ON DARBY VOTING CASE
Special Three Judge Federal Court
Orders Dismissal Of NAACP Backed
jefferson Davis County Voting Suit
Decision Upholds The Recently Enacted
State Voters Registration Law

A special three-judge Federal
Court, sitting here last Thursday,
ordered the dismissal of the first
suit designed to test the constitu-
tionality of the recently enacted
State Voters Registration Law.
The suit field by a Negro min
lister, Rev. H. B. Darby, of Prem
tiss, in Jefferson Davis County,
who was joined by S0-year-old Mrs.
Ruth Dillon, also of Prentiss, in
a last minute move last week, and
= backed by the NAACP, charged
that the new state law discrimi-
mated against Negro registrants,
and discrimination on the part of
the Voters Registration officials
of Jefferson Davis County.
The suit filed under the 1857
Federal Civil Rights Law, sought
to have declared unconstitutional
the Mississippi Voters Registration
Law, passed by the State Legisla-
ture in 1854, and a 1866 law for
bidding outside help in law suits
filed against state agencies.
Rev. Darby named State'ss At
torney General Joe Patterson and
Jefferson Davis County Circuit
Clerk James Daniel as defendants
in the suit.

Tuskegee Group
Lose Boundary
Shift Case

Tuskegee, Ala, Nov. 3.-A law
which has banned virtually all Ne
groes in the Tuskegee area from
voting, has survived its first test
in federal co"rt.
U. S. District Judge Frank M.
Johnson, Jr., upheld a 16-month
old legislative act re-arranging the
city's boundaries. The new boun-
daries left all predominantly Negro
residential areas outside the city
limits.
The Judge said nothing in the
federal constitution prohibits the
state legislature from changing the
boundaries of a city regardless of
the motive.
He added: regardless of the
motive Of the legislation in enact
ing the law, this court has no au-
thority to declare such act invalid
after measuring it by any yard
stick made known by the Constitu-
ton Of the U. S.
"This court has no control over,
and no power to change any boun-
daries of municipal corporations
fixed by duly convened and elect
ed legislative body"
Atty. Fred Gray, who filed the
test suit on behalf of a group of
Negroes, said the ruling probably
will be appealed to higher courts.
