Basebalrs top ofllcials have
worked out what they are hope

earlier this week. Commission
er Ford Frick and League
Presidents Joe Cronin and

II the amended version Is

in q proposal fer two nine

The National League win vote
on the nine-team proposal
Monday. O'Malley. who favors
the plan, repeatedly has Soc
ceeded in lining UP two pro-
ponents Of the revolutionary
idea but he needs two more for
b majority. It doesn't seem
likely he will get those.
An American League of1cial
said there are only one or two
comparatively minor points
that stand between the two
leagues agreeing on the amend
ment to rule one.
I'VE are hopeful Of Q quick
solution, maybe even before

day. Everybody has been alert
ed for o special joint session on
Monday, If necessary.

Voting Privileges Ordered Restored To Negroes

NEW ORLEANS, tR - A U. S. District Court decree yesterday ordered voting privileges returned to 1,377 Negroes purged from the Washington Parish rolls by small technicalities.
 Judge J. Skelly Wright issued the decree Monday in a suit filed last June 29 through the govern ment's civil rights division under the 1857 Civil Rights Act.
 The defendants were the White Citizens Council of Washington Parish, four council members who had challenged the Negroes rights to vote, and Curtis M. Thomas, registrar of voters in the southeastern Louisiana parish.
 The suit noted that while 1,377 Negroes had been challenged, only 10 white voters were removed. The government claimed the citf- zens council had challeneged Ne gro registrants for minor techni- calities such as exact ages and misspelled words while nothing was done about white registrants who made the same mistakes.
 Judge Wright's decree also for bade the four individual members of the citizens council from "caus- ing or initiating challenges or fil- ing any affidavits of challenge which have as their purpose or effect discrimination based on race or color against any regisA trants."
