Voting Suit Hits
AIubumo County
By the Associated Press

The State of Alabama and
the board Of registrars Of Bull
lock County, Ala, have been
charged by the Government
with depriving Negro citizens
Of Bullock County of their right
to vote.
Attorney General Rogers, in
his last day in office yesterday,
announced that a civil suit max
ing this charge had been filed
in United States district court
at Montgomery, Ala.
The complaint alleges that
the board follows a practice of
requiring applications for regis
tration to be supported by two
previously registered voters in
the county. =
This. the complaint says, eff
fectively discriminates against
Negroes since there are 1900
registered white voters and
only S registered Negro voters.
The white citizens will more
readily assist other whites to
register than they will Negroes,
