The court. In an opinion by Jus tice Cardozo. declined to pass on whether political parties in the var ious states had the right to prescribe the qualifications of their members and determine who should be permit ted to vote at party primaries. The opinion pointed out. however, that the action by the Texas Democratic Executive Committee was based on authority glveri in the act of the leg islature. It ruled that judges of elections, acting under instructions from their State jfctecutive committees to ex clude Negroes from voting at pri mary elections, were liable to suit for damages by Negroes preveented from voting. Justice Cardozo emphasized that the ruling of the Democrtic execu tive committee was based on the act of the legislature and not by action of the Democratic party organization.

RJUNTAIN ATTACKS ON JEFFRESS CUTS Believed To Have Reacted Sharply Against Rocky ] Mount Candidate Dull) ln»(>*trh Rare**, X 111 J. t, It A *>K Kt( V I l,f, In t*«- Sir Waller Hotel. Raleigh, May 2.- The bitter persona nl attack that Lieutenant Govemot R. T. Fountain made upon Chairman H. B. Jeffreaa of the State Highway, Commission frn at least one of hiw speeches last week In Western Nortt* Carolina, in which Fountain is re ported to have referred to Jeffress as "half Jew, half Gentile, half Demo crat and half Republican" has de finitely reacted against Fountain, ac cording to. Major L. P. McLendon, State campaign manager for J. C. B. Ehringharis, who says that Fountain "evidently forgot that Mr. Jeffress ia a native of the western part of the State and has many friends and re latives, throughout the State.” In a statement just made public. Incident ally, is a native of Haywood county, and until he became chair man of the State Highway Commis si ori was a resident of Greensboro and publisher of the Greensboro News l'n ere. Jeffress was formerly mayor of reensboro and was a member of the J louse from Guilford county in the . 1931 General Assembly. Fountain has also been saying In his speech that the reason the Greena boro News is opposing him for gov ernor is because Jeffress gets a salary of $7,500 a year as ch.tirman of the highway commission and because Mrs. W. T. Boat, wife of W. T. Boat. Raleigh correspondent for the Greens boro News, gets a salary of $4,200 a year. The amounts of these salaries are incorrect, since Jeffreys gets a alaary of only $6,000 a year, having voluntarily reduced it from $7,500, while Mrs. Boat rectveu a salary of only $3,600 a year. Major McLendon also declared that the “caustic reference" by A. J. Max well, the third candidate for the gub (Continued on Page Three.) have obtained a legal opinion that the convention may at arfy time de cide by a vote of the majority to abandon the two-thirds rule and nom inate by a majority vote. The two-thirds rule was adopted at the first Democratic national con vention 100 years ago Its abolition was suggested in 1924 by supporter* of William G. McAdoo. and In 1928 by followers of former Governor. Al fred E. Smith.
