The Federal attorneys gave
up their attempt to force
several Alabama officials to
testify about Negroes being
kept from voting in their
counties.
The disagreement grew
out Of the commissions
first public action which
was an Investigation Of
Negro voting rights in six
Alabama counties.
In the hearings several
state officials and officials
in charge of voting registra-
ton refused to testify be-
fore the Committee even
though under subpoena. The
Federal Commission also
was denied access TO see the
voting registration lists of
three counties.
Witnesses testified that in
Alabama's Lowndes County
that not one of 10000 Ne
groes could register. In Ma
con County, home of the ia
nous Tuskegee Institute, Ne
groeS outnumber whites by
6 to /. On the voting lists
there are 1907 Negroes out
of $1,000 and 2,100 whites
out of white population of
5000 registered to vote.
II is expected that with
the opening of Congress adj
ditional moves will be made
against heavy southern oppo-
Sition to give the Federal
Civil Rights Commission ad-
ditional powers to combat
such resistance as it en-
countered in the Alabama
