U. S. READY
FOR PROSECUTIONS IN
NEGRO BALLOTING
WASHINGTON, APRIL 6—(AP)—The Justice Department has
accepted the Negro voting issue as definitely settled and in the
future will prosecute any official who attempts to prevent a
person from voting because of color.
In announcing the new policy Friday, Solicitor General
Howard J. McGrath told a press conference there is “no doubt”
that recent court decisions upholding Negro suffrage apply to
local and general primaries and elections in all states.
McGarth said "It is our position that the law has been set
tled” and pointed out that persons who illegally deny voting
privileges are subject to a criminal code penalty of $1,000.00 fine
or a year in prison.
All test cases heretofore have been brought as civil actions.
The U. S. Supreme Court held in a Texas case that a person
could not be denied the right to .participate in a Democratic
Party primary because of color. Last week, the court refused to
review a similar decision by the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals
in New Orleans in a Georgia case.
“It is hoped,” McGrath said, “that everyone will abide by
the spirit of the courts’ decisions.”

refutes completely,” the official de
clared, “those malicious stories
about the meters having been in

traffic-control purposes.” "Alarmed
at the prospect of a “run” on the
parking meters, with hundreds of
money-made citizens feeding pen

nickel jackpots, the official depre
cated: “It’s only happened once, so
