in GIN constituted a violation
of the antitrust laws and had
sent the case back to Judge
La Buy to work out a remedy.

Senator Dirksen said that on

Senator Dirksen said a Chi

concessions on Berlin in return
for an agreement with Russia
to end atomic tests, that he
favored reducing American

U. 5. Requests
Vote Records
a More Counties
Facing Inquiry
BY the Associated Press

Attorney General Rogers to-
day called for the voting regis
tration records of four South
ern counties to determine
whether there is discrimination
against eligible Negroes.
Acting under the 1860 Civil
Rights Act, Mr.. Rogers re-
queSted election officials in
Montgomery County, Ala; Ear
ly County, Ga, and Ouachits
and East Feliciana Parishes
La, to make their records
available for FBI inspection.
This was the Attorney Gen.
erals second move of this kind
Mr.. Rogers made first use
of the law on May 9 by call
ing for the registration rec:
ordS in Mccormack County,
S. c.; Webster County, Ca;
Wilcox County, Ala, and East
Carroll Parish, La.
officials in Mccormack and
Webster Counties promptly
complied. East Carroll officials
have taken no action on the
request.
Obtains Injunction
Alabama Attorney General
Macdonald Gallon has OBJ
tanned a temporary State court
injunction to prohibit Federal
agents from examining the
Wilcox records.
AS in the previous requests
Mr.. Rogers said today's e.
mandS were based on informa-
ton indicating Negroes may
have been deprived of voting
rights through discriminatory
practices.
The announcement said
Montgomery County has 34,O7s
Negroes of voting age. of whom
3,480 are registered.
In Early County, the an
nouncement said, there are
about Alta Negroes of voting
age and 226 are registered.
East Feliciana was listed as
having about 6,325 Negroes of
voting age. with 76 registra-
tionS.
In Ouachita Parish, the fig
ures were given as 1882 Ne
groes, with 727 registrations.
Standards to Be Studied
The Attorney General said
that in each of these counties
a very substantial proportion of
white persons of voting age
was registered.
He said that among the
things to be examined is the
question of whether Negroes
have been subjected to more
stringent registration standards.
Also. the announcement said,
the Justice Department had
information that ma jor
changes have occurred in the
registrations in the two Louisi-
ana parishes as a result of chal-
lenges filed by local White Citi-
zens Council.
There was no indication what
the Justice Department might
do about the Alabama attorney
generals move in the Wilcox
County matter.
The department declined to
comment on the Wilcox suit,
filed last Friday.

least an hour before the H.

port Of the Kremlin's charge
that United States spy flights
are a threat to peace.
Chief United States Delegate
Henry Cabot Lodge said he was
confident he could debate the
Soviet complaint. He was ex-
pected to contend that espion-
age is as old as history, that il
is carried on by the Soviet
Union and that it is no threat
to peace.
Because of the part the
United States intelligence
flights played in the breakup OF
the summit conference, the
Council debate commanded
unusual attention. The United
States Information Agency said
the full proceedings would be
broadcast by the Voice OF
America. This included a live
broadcast beamed at the Soviet
Union.

planned to press for council
condemnation of such flights
