tation test, the setting of white
political supremacy and racial
segregation in which this test
was adopted and is enforced,
and the discretion which is vest
ed in the registrars of voters
in the administration of this
test render (it) invalid on its
face" under the u. S. Constitu-
tion and the Civil Rights Act of
1857, the complaint said.
The test has been used in a
racially discriminatory manner,
especially since the 1854 school
desegregation decision of the
Supreme Court of the United
States, according to the Gov
ernment.
Last October, the complaint
said, the Board of Registration
adopted a resolution requiring
all registrars of voters in Lou
isiana to enforce the interpre-'
tation test strictly.
The complaint cited a pamph-
let entitled "Voter Qualifica-
tion Laws in Louisiana the
Key to Victory in the Segrega-
tion Struggle" which has been
distributed to registrars and
other public officials by the
state White Citizens Councils.
The pamphlet urged strict ap-
plication of the test as a means
of preserving white political su-
premacy, the complaint said.
Mr.. Kennedy said the White
Citizens Councils, acting under
e procedure authorized by state
law, challenged the registration
of thousands of Negroes in at
least eleven parishes and caused
their removal from the rolls.
Registrars in some of the
parishes had not used the in
depreciation test prior to tho
purge" but did so afterwards,
the complaint said, applying it
to Negroes seeking to regain
their registration, but not to
whites.
Between March and October
1856, the number Of white vot-
ers in the eleven parishes in
creased by 1893 and the num-
Der of Negro voters decreased
by 8,158 according to the COM
plant. BY December, 1860, the
number of whites assertedly in
creased by an additional 3,264
and the number of Negroes de-
creased by an additional 2,205.

The action, brought under the
Civil Rights Act of 1857, asked
that a three-judge federal court
be convened to declare that the
Interpretation test on its face
violates the 14th and 18th A

Social Security
Information

Are you a working person 65
or over who has never applied
for social security benefits? If
so, you will want to ask your
scial security office for a copy
of a new leaflet.
Entitled, "You Don't Have to
Retire Completely to Get Social
Security Benefits" the leaflet
explains changes in the law re-
Gently enacted by Congress
which which raises the amount
an older worker can earn and
still collect some benefits in ad-
dition to his earnings.
Older working people, made
eligible to collect some benefits
because of these changes, will
need to get their applications on
file before the end of January
1862, according to the social
security office. Otherwise, they
stand chance of losing some
of the social security payments
now due them.
A good example of this
change is a couple who would
be entitled upon application to
a monthly check of $3.50, about
the maximum now payable to
a retired worker and dependent
wife.
Under the law in effect until
the beginning of '61, this couple
could not be paid any benefits
for the year if the husbands
earnings exceeded $2080. Under
the new law, his earnings could
go as high as $3610 before the
couple would have to forego
all of their social security bene-
fits.
A retired worker with on de-
pendents, entitled to a benefit
of STA (the average now being
paid) could earn about $1,000
in a year and still get some
of his benefits.
Many older working people
have not yet applied for their
social security benefits. Many
of them may not realize that
their earnings are at a level
which will now permit them to
get some payments.
Some others may be under
the impression that if they earn |
more than $1,000 in a year,
they cannot collect any social |
security benefits. This is not |
so.
Another thing many people |
don't realize is that regardless
of their annual earnings, a
social security beneficiary can
be. paid his benefit for any
month he does not earn more
than 500 in wages nor work
in self-employment.
The Social Security Admins
tration suggests that working
people 65 or over who have not |
yet applied for their social secu-
rity benefits write or phone the
local office to get free copy of |
the new leaflet, "You Don't
Have To Retire Completely to
Get Social Security Benefits"
The leaflet describes the pro-
visions of the law in simple
words and also contains a table
to help the older worker esti-
mate how much of his benefits

been adopted in 1898 when about
44 percent of the States regis
tered voters were Negroes. The
clause exempted from literacy
and property requirements for
voting al, persons who were en-
titled to vote or or before jan
uary 1, 1867 and their sons or
grandsons.
The purpose of adopting the
Interpretation test, the COM
plant said, "was to provide a
means by which the disenfran-
chisement of Negroes could be
perpetuated." Until 1914, when
the Supreme Court invalidated
the exclusion of Negroes from
primary elections, no more than
half of one percent of Louis
iana's registered voters were
Negroes.
Between 1914 and March 1856,
however, this percentage rose to
approximately Is percent and
the Interpretation test was not
used in many parishes.
