NEW ORLEANS. June 80
(AP).-A Justice Department
suit on file in United States
District Court here seeks to
halt the purge of Negro
voters in Washington Parish
County.
The parish is in Southeastern
Louisiana, about so miles north
Of New Orleans.
The suit, filed yesterday,
names as defendants the White
Citizens Council Of Washington
Parish; council members Diaz
D. McEleveen. E. Ray Nc
Eleven, Saxon Farmer and
Eugene Farmer, and the parish
registrar of voters, Curtis M.
Thomas.
Under Louisiana law, any
two bonafide voters may chal-
lenge the right Of another
voter.
Registration Reduced
The Government said that
during the last seven months
there were 1877 affldavits filed
challenging Negro voters in
Washington Parish and that
the Negro registration was re-
duced from 1.517 tc 236. The
petition said in the same
period only 10 affidavits have
been filed questioning the vot-
ing rights Of white persons.
The suit, seeking an injunc-
ton against discriminatory
challenges. has not been set
for hearing.
The complaint said the chal-
lenging affidavits almost with
out exception were based on
minor technical deficiencies
such as misspellings. petty de-
viations from printed instruc-
tions. failure to compute age
precisely and allegedly illeg-
ible handwriting.
