The Justice Departmet, after
winning access to voter records
in Montgomery, Ala, moved
swiftly to implement a new
civil rights investigation in five
other Southern counties.
FBI agents picked up voting
and registration lists in Gwin-
nett County, Ga, yesterday, the
same day the new probe was
announced in Washington.
In Florida, Gov. Leroy Col
Inns said he had never received
any complaints about VIOLA
ton of Negro voting rights in
Union County, but if the JUS
tice Department received one
"and it is in their jurisdiction
would expect them to irvesti-
gate it,"
Court Issues Order
There was no immediate word
from registration officials in
Leflore, Bolivar and Forrest
Counties in Mississippi, also in
volved in the new investigation
At Montgomery, Federal
Judge Frank M. johnson, jr.
yesterday issued an abrupt or
der to State courts to keer
their hands off and directed
voter registrars to open theil
records within Is days.
He rejected the States claim
that the 1860 Civil Rights Act
under which Federal agent.
sought access to the voter files
is unconstitutional.
He said the function of the
act is to protect the right tc
vote. and that "the power tt
protect voters who are qualified
is confided to the Congress"
Alabama Attorney Genera
Macdonald Gallon declined tt
comment on whether the Statt
would appeal.
Chairman Crum Dinkins o.
the Montgomery Boards of Reg
iStrars, which had refused tt
surrender its records, also re.
mained silent.
Judge johnson said a State
court injunction issued July
by Circuit Judge Walter B
Jones in Montgomery violated
"the basic principle that STATE
courts are without jurisdiction
to enjoin the acts of Fed.
eral officers"

East wins the first spade and

another spade to dummy's king

East must play the singleton
ace of clubs, and South plays
his worthless five of clubs. 1t
is now impossible for South to
lose more than two club tricks,
and the game contract is as
sured.

Both the children and the cabin sur

can recommend the children.
There are two classes on TOT jet
De luxe and Economy. The front of the
plane is reserved for De luxe passengers
and the back for Economy. De luxe has the
following advantages: You 60 up the same

roomy seats; you're piled with liquor and

an orchid on your plate), and there is a bar

Economy has these advantages: You go

Lose Tricks
The Safe WAY

Opening lead: Heart queen.
See if you can make three
no-trump with the South hand.
You'll land on your feet if you
get three diamond tricks, since
you can easily win six tricks In
the other suits.
Before you can play the dia-
monds properly, however, you
must refuse the first heart.
When you win the second heart
East is out of hearts.
Now you're ready to tackle
the diamonds. Any ideas?
Easy Play Loses
First, let's see what happens
If you play the easy way. Lead
a diamond to dummy's king;
this should be safe enough,
since West surely has the ace
of diamonds for his bid.
The king wins, but the play
loses. The next diamond goes
to Vests queen, and West
drives out your last heart stop
per. West still has the ace of
diamonds and an established
heart suit. Down you go.
Now let's start the diamonds
over again. You need only three
diamond tricks, and what you'd
like is to give up one trick to
East insteaed OF losing both
tricks to West.
Nothing could be easier. Lead
the five of diamonds from your
hand. When West follows with
the deuce, play the low dia-
mond from dummy. This deep
flnesSe loses to EaSt's ten.
East returns a spade to your
ace, and you lead another dia-
mond toward dummy. West
can take the ace of diamonds,
but nothing else. This way of
playing the diamonds allows
you to make the contract.
