How To Be
A Voter Under
80 Rights Law

WASHINGTON - Here are
the steps citizen who feels
he has been denied the right
TO vote because of his race
must take:
/. Complain to the Justice
Department.
2. The U. S. Attorney Gen
eral asks the Federal District
Court to determine if the case
is part of racial discrimination
3. If the court so finds, after
considering evidence from
both sides, it can appoint ref
erees as officers of the court
to handle applications from
voters who seek registration.
4. The applicant must show
the referee he is qualified un-
der state laws to vote and has
been denied that vote since
the court found a pattern of
discrimination existed.
The referee does not con-
duct a trial. He accepts the
applicants sworn evidence as
to age, residence and prior eff
forts to register and checks on
literacy or other qualifications
under state law.
5. The referee reports his
findings to the Federal judge,
consolidating individual appli-
cants into list of those he
considers qualified.
6. The court sends the list to
the State Attorney General
and gives him and others con-
cerned 10 days to show cause
why the applicants should not
be approved.
7. If state officials object
and are able to back it up
with public records or other
evidence, the court or referee
holds a hearing. Questions of
the applicants literacy or SIM
liar qualifications are not
open to challenge - they are
determined by the referee.
8. If state officials do not
object, or if they are overrul-
ed, the court declares the list
of applicants qualified to vote.
Copies of the order are served
on election officials.
9. If registrant is prevented
by any official, the official
may be punished for contempt
of court. IF the official resigns
as a means of blocking the
voter, the court may act
against the state itself.

award went to the Women's

organizing a Citizens Coun-
Gil for Better Schools when
the towns population virtu-
ally doubled as four large in
dustries moved into the area.
The Recital Club of Garner,
Iowa, faced up to a problem
of shrinking population to
win the $1,000 fourth-place
award. A survey by the club
of l9 members eventually led
to the formation of a Town
and Country Planning Coun-

other recreational areas are
in the planning stage.

teen board in the section
which recorded San Diego'S
highest juvenile delinquency
rate a few years ago.

were the Eureka Springs
