whether or not they have

tics in registration offices.
8. Congress should direct
the Census Bureau to compile
registration and voting statiS-
tics by race. Such statistics, it
said, provide clues to the exist
ence of bars to voting rights.
The commissions own sur
vey on this subject showed
that lin at least 129 counties
in 10 States, where Negroes
comprise more than per cent
of the population, less than 10
per cent of those ostensibly
eligible to vote are in fact
registered. In % of those
counties in five States none at
all are registered"
Lauds Justice Department
The commission praised the
work OF the Justice Depart
ment, saying it has acted with
vigor to apply the civil rights
acts of 1857 and 1860 to pre-
cent racial discrimination in
the franchise"
1t said the legislation had
proved effective in cases in
volving the purge of voters
from registration rolls and in
combating economic reprisals
against Negroes who seek to
vote.
1t expressed some dissatis-
faction, however, with the rate
OF progress toward the goal of
full voting rights.
Suits must proceed a single
county at a time" the report
noted, and they are time-con-
Suming, expensive and difficult.
Broader measures" such as it
recommended, "are required if
denials of constitutional rights
in this area are to be quickly
eliminated"
Cites Black Belt Studies
The report filed today in
cluded the findings of a de-
tailed study of 81 BLACK Belt
counties where Negroes COM
prise a majority of the popula- =
ton. In II of them, few or no
Negroes vote.
The report said "a depend
ent economic conditional
situation where the Negroes are
tenant farmers or Sharecrop-
pers who depend on white land
lords, merchants and bankers
for land, goods and credit
appears to one of the most
significant factors that in
hibits Negroes from registering
and voting"
Where economic opportuni-
ties are greater. it said, so is
the Negroes willingness to try
to vote.
The commission urged the
Federal Government and the
States to take firm and con-
certed action to reduce eco
nomic deprivations" in the
Black Belt counties.

fallout-and underground test
ing, where such hazards are far
less serious.
His main observation on this
point was to recall that the
Western powers in 1859 had
submitted a proposal in Geneva
to limit the agreement on
nuclear tests only to those held
in the atmosphere.
This would deceive the peo-
ple," he insisted.
To discontinue only one type
of test-in the atmosphere
could give rise to harmful and
dangerous illusions" that the
arms race really was being
ended, he said.
He said the effect of doing
this would be to legalize ways
OF developing and improving
nuclear weapons through un-
derground and outer space
tests.
His statement said the Soviet
Union is taking every measure
to reduce to a minimum the
harmful effects of the current
tests.
Mr.. Khrushchev argued that
the Soviet Union has set off
several times fewer blasts than
the United States, Britain and
France, adding: I'VE have ev-
cry reason, both from the view
point OF morality and of en-
Suring our national interests, to
claim an equal number of test
explosions with the Western
powers"
Offer Runs Out
His rejection was issued on
the day the Western offer ran
out.
He coupled it with a declara-
ton that, in order to dispell
the threat of war and normal
ize International relations, it is
necessary to solve "the basic
problem of our time-the prob
lem of general and complete
disarmament"
1T is possible to end nuclear
tests througout the world once
and for all only on the basis
of general and complete dis
armament" Mr.. KhruShchev
said.
His statement expressed re-
gret that the Kennedy admins
tration docs not wish to take
the first step toward general
and complete disarmament
with the establishment Of the
stricteSt international control
and said that the British gov
ernment seems to adhere to
the same position"
President Kennedy and Mr..
Macmillan had appealed to Mr..
KhruShchev for an all-time.
unpoliced ban on nuclear test
ing in the atmosphere.
Mr.. Khrushchev urged the
Western leaders ito embark to-
gether on the solution of the
major problem of our times
universal and total disarma-
ment."
He said:
Let us seek seriously, in
good faith, a solution to the
question of concluding a Ger
man peace treaty so as to ar
rest in good time the sliding
of states into the inferno of a
rocket-nuclear war.
Then everything will be set
in place again; there will not
only be no nuclear tests but
even no threat of a nuclear
war"

BRASILIA, Brazil, Sept. 9
(AP A coalition government
Of moderate bent took over to-
day in an atmosphere remi-
niscent of the days before the
turbulent tenure of Janio
QuadroS.
Supporters of President Joao
Goulart, who succeeded to a
post made virtually powerleSs
after a fortnight of crisis en-
gendered by military fear of
him as a leftist. raised protests
against the makeup of the new
government. But Mr.. Coulart
himself approved the compro-
mise.
Headed by Tancredo Neves,
PRIME Minister under a parlia-
mentary system installed to tie
Mr.. Goulart's hands, the new
cabinet is expected to follow
former President Juscelino Ku-
bitschek's line of close ties with
the West in the cold war. Mr..
Neves and Mr.. Kubitschek both
are Social Democrats, the larg-
est party in Congress.
Runaway Initiation
Francisco San Tiago DantaS.
a moderate Laborite member of
Mr.. Goulart's party, was named
Foreign Minister. Under a new
policy he will have to backtrack
on the neutralist trail hacked
out by Mr.. Quadros during
seven months in office.
For Mr.. Neves, a financier,
his prime worries are domestic.
He is faced with the dilemma
of doing something about Bra
zils economic backwardness
while holding the line on
spending something Mr.. Ku-
bitschek did not do.
During his term Mr.. Kubit-
schek embarked on a program
of 80 years progress in S" that
built this new capital and made
steps toward opening up the
interior of Brazil but ended in
runaway initiation.
! Working to block a recur-
renee of this will be Walter
Moreira SALES, the Minister of
Finance. Earlier this year, he
negotiated nearly ST billion
worth of aid and loans from
the United States as a special
ambassador under Mr.. Quadros.
Before that he was Mr.. Kubit-
schek's ambassador to Wash
ington.
Opposition Airs Charges
This lineup ran into op-
position last night from Mr..
Goulart's associates in Con-
gress from his home state of
Rio Grande Do Sui.
Ruy Ramos, a deputy in
Mr.. Goulart's Labor Party.
charged that some cabinet
members had betrayed the
party or sold out to foreign
capitalists. Mr.. Ramos accused
Moreira SALES of being tied
to Wall Street.
Labor Party Leader Amino
Alfonso contended the crisis had
cost the country the equiva-
lent Of $3.50 million. He said
the Finance Ministry had to
print 43 billion cruzeiroS and
would need 30 billion more to
meet a new squirt of crisis
caused initiation.
These protests - and the
threat of a filbuster-vaniShed
after another Laborite deputy
brought an appeal from MI.
Goulart to get on with the
vote.
Mr. NeveS, 81, whose fortune
in textile manufacturing has
backed his political career, was
confirmed by Parliament 259
to %. The vote for his cabinet
was 246 to 10.

Wv M
BY RAH.M THOMAS

Hoodlums have just about spoil
ed chances of Twin public dances
featuring Joe williams, Ray
Charles etc, planned by Mime
apolis promoters.
These buns who seem to be with
us whether we want them or not
created havoc at the recent Sonny
Thompson dance at the Marigold
Ballroom.
. One barbarian shot a A cali
bre pistol into the wash bowl in
the mems room, causing SCI dam
age.
. Another man broke his wife's
nose.
. Two women engaged in a
bloody fight.
. There was the usual obscene
language being waited about spoil
ing the evening of the majority of
the dance goers who went there
to have pleasant time.
Most of the people tried to have
a nice time in an orderly manner.
After the dance the crowds,
with many of the individuals down.
right disorderly, flooded the eating
places around the neighborhood
and calls went out for police to
come in a hurry.
Practically every hall in the
Twin Cities is closed to Negro
promoters of public dances, be-
cause of the behaviour of the mis-
guided local clowns who think a
$3.50 ticket gives them the license
to tear up the joint"
The promoters who risk their
money to provide the recreation
and the people who go to these
affairs to have a nice time are the
chief sufferers from this too large
gang of young and old delinquents,
who are lawless and too ignorant
to realize the harm they do their
fellowman, and probably don't give
a boot.
Private clubs do not have any
problem renting facilities because
usually their affairs are invitation
al and the rowdies can be kept out.
However to bring name attrac-
tons the affairs have to cater to
the public to pay the high costs.
This is where the outlaws" get
their chance to get drunk and flex
their muscles. First thing one
knows dance hall managers fatty
refuse rental. Nobody can blame
them for not renting their places
for our "barbarians'' to break up.
Result: No big dances with big
names for the Twin Cities.
The alternative is concerts and
some of these clowns cut up so
bad even at concerts that civilized
people remain away in droves.

Atty.-Gen. Kennedy Asks His
Exclusive Club TO Drop Ban
Against Negro Members

Washington (ANP)-Atty. Gen.
Kennedy has urged Washington's
most prominent private club-of
which he is a member to drop its
ban on Negroes.
He wrote a letter some time ago
to the Metropolitan club deploring
discrimination against Negroes as
members or guests. Kennedy re-
portedly indicated that he could
not remain a member unless the
clubs policy was changed.
A similar letter has gone to the
club from a noted young Repub-
lican member. George c. Lodge,
son of Henry Cabot Lodge, the
Republican candidate for vice
president last year. George Lodge
has stayed on as assistant secre-
tary of labor in the Kennedy ad-
ministration but will resign next
month.
The board of governors of the
Metropolitan club has said only
that it is considering the protests.
