JOHNSTON SURE A WAY WILL BE FOUND Columbia, April 5.—Gov. Olin D. Johnston said today he was confi dent the state Democratic conven tion May 17 would take steps “to maintain a white man’s democratic ti.-ket” in South Carolina despite a U. S. Supreme court ruling that negroes must be permitted to vote in Texas primaries. Johnston commended the 11)43 general assembly which followed a suggestion he made in his inaugural address that all state laws pertain ing to primaries be wiped from the statute books except those designed to prevent and punish fraud. The governor said he realized “the people of my state may be alarmed" at the count ruling but added “how ever, I am not alarmed as our state democratic convention will meet next month and will amply take care of the situation.” ’ LOST RATION BOOK—Lost Ration Book No. 4 either in Newberry or Saluda.

S. Supreme court today that negroes were entitled to vote in Texas Dem ocratic primaries as the “go” signal to file a complaint in federal district court here to seek the same privi lege for negroes in South Carolina. J. M. Hinton, secretary of the organization and manager of the Pilgrim Life and Health Insurance company, said action would be filed in federal court as soon as possible and that a tentative brief already had been prepared. Gov. Olin D. Johnston, nominal head of the Democratic party m South Carolina, and Winchester Smith of Williston, chairman of the executive committee, declined com ment. However, several said pri vately that the party had anticipat ed just such an opinion and had in structed the solidly democratic leg islature in 1943 to eliminate all par ty rules from the state code. The 1943 general assembly repealed all statutes dealing with parties by name and left with the parties the problem of conducting their pri maries. The repealed sections will go out of the code June 1, 1944. The rules of a Democratic party under a section dealing with quali fications of its members limits mem bership to persons who are “white democrats.” One party member who declined to be quoted by name said the party •had been able to control its primaries in the past and Should be able to continue its control, despite the Su preme court opinion. Atlanta, Apr. 3.—•Southern reac tion to a Supreme court decision holding that negroes may participate in democratic primary elections ranged today from cautious non-com- mittartoe to stubborn determination to preserve traditional white control of white machinery. The high court, in a decision on a Texas case but of far-reaching con sequence in southern states where democratic nomination is equivalent to election, held that when primaries “bdoome a part of the machinery for choosing officials, state and national” the exercise of voting priviledge may not 'be abridged by reason of race or color. In several states, including Texas, officials and party leaders withheld comment, pending study of the court’s decision. In Mississippi, however, Chairman Heibert Holmes of the democratic executive committee declared: “We still have a few state’s rights left, /ind one of our rights is to have democratic primaries and say who shall vote in them. The Supreme court or noAme else can control a democratic primary in Mississippi.” Gearge’s state democratic com mittee chairman, J. Lon Duckworth, argued that the Supreme court’s ac tion "is not a decision affecting the Georgia primary,” and added: I would say the negroes are not qual ified to vote in the democratic white primary of this, state.” Florida’s democratic committee chairman, Tom Conely, declared: “We’ll certainly resist if possible, any attempt to have negroes vote in our primaries.” He added hope “that the courtls decision woivt have any effect in Florida. Florida’s Secretary of State R. A. Gray, who supervises the Florida elecion machinery, without opinion, and Alabama’s democratic committee shairman, Gessner T. McCorvey, also was silent. Men!
