Negroes In many areas of east

, opposition in their efforts to get
j their names on the voting lists,
j The illegal and unAmerican de
| vices used by registrars in most
i all of the predominantly rural
| eastern counties of this state to
j prevent Negroes from registering
and voting should be of far more
concern to the Congress of this
country than the denial of free
elections in East Germany. You
can hear a whole lot of protect,
in Congress over the latter is
sue but not one word is. ever said
against the destruction of democ
racy here at home.
Al! of this brings up another:
question, what excuse do Negroes ;
in Raleigh and Wake County!
have for their failure to vote 1
and register. It would seem thatj
the mere fact that their broth-;
ers in other sections of this state j
are having to fight, desperately for
their voting rights would offer
sufficient reason for every quali
