Wal ker. I. Walker said that ■ LHtleton registrar had used M ttuninttion ' which he declared was unconstitu tional in refusing tbrM , Negroes the right to re^itolV He lalso stated he had filed ap peals from the registrar’s actions to the Halifax County Board of Elections. The three prospective regis- , trants were Delaney Manley, 36, and his wife, Mrs. Dorothy Man ley, 40, and Manlcy'a nxHher, Mrs. Emma Mantby, 68. Walker charged tiuit T. W. Cole, Littleton precinct registrar, gave Mrs. Manley a^e«t ceq^rinc, tkat .|nhe write-a iMm from a prepared script When he graded her work, h« refused to register her. After Mrs. Manley wis refused, her husband and his mother re fused to submit to ,thc test.

The Littleton registrar. Cole, is already under charges brought by the Rev. Ernest Ivey, of Littleton, who is suing for $5,000 because Cole refused to register him in 1856. Walker said that action had Iain dormant in hopes it could be re solved, but added after Saturday’s incident it would def.'.iklt«ly be proMcute'J.

Th* superior «ourf solicitor spoke bcfor* the Chapel Hill Jaycees last Thursday, along wi.ti his fellow candidat* and court prosecutor, Horace Kor- negay of Greensboro. Speaking in connection with th* observance of Law Day, U. S. A., Murdock noted that it was a firmly established point of law that a businessman could restrict his trade as he saw fit. "And tlie people promoting the sit-iqs said you shouldn't prose cute them and everyone in that race thinks this is a bad law and they are not going to abide by it. This lack of respect for the law is causing a breakdown," he said. Kornegay, speaking on tWe same platform, dwelled on three basic ideas in connection with his candidacy: (1) "I am a firm belivcr in the American system of free competitive enterprise; (2) the necessity for * blanced budget-—"In the last ten years we'v* paid eno igh interest on the. debt to operate our coun try for a year; and (3) "We must have a strong national defense.

CHAPEL HILL GROUP ENTERS “WATCfl- DOG” PHASE OF ACTION ON SIT-IN ISSUE % CHAPEL HILL — The protest ^ ■ — I against segregation in service by local merchants here Kas • entered a new phase. The Chapel Hill Council on Ra cial Equality, the organization which spearheaded a drive started by a sitdown of Lincoln high school students several weeics ago announced this week that its acti vity now will be limited to that of a “watchdog” nature. The group announced officially that it. had stopped distributing leaflets sometime ago. This week it announced that its activities will consist of a con- VETERAN POLICYHOLOER- O.

The announcement, contained in a printed pamphlet entitled “A Report to the Citizens of Chapel Hill,” signalled an end to the movement's more overt phases of activity. The report also stated that the movement had iieen successful in persuading a "majority” of down town merchants who serve food to eliminate discrimination. It failed to identify the ‘‘major ity” of merchants, but it did point out the Colonial Drug Stores was j one of the firms which refused | after negotiations with the organi zation to serve Negroes at its lunch counter. The report was also critical of the Long Meadow Dairy Bar, which, according to the organiza tion's statement. lowered the quali ty of service offered to everyone by removing seats at its lunch counters. The Chapel Hill movement got underway when several Negro iitu- dents at Lincoln High School stag ed a ,sit-down demmstration ai Chapel Hill lunch counters and be gan picketing stores which refused Negroes service.
