die issue of Negro voting rights m
the South.
Shad Polier of New’ York, chair
man of Die organization’s National
Governing Council, said the Presi
dent’s “high prestige and powerful
personality” were needed to “mo
bilize public support for an end
to the humiliation and terrorism
used by Southern officials against
Negroes seeking to register.”
Polier, a lawyer, pledged his or
ganization’s support of proposed
legislation to permit Presidentially
appointed registrars to enroll
won Id-bs Negro voters in the
South.
Such legislation was urgent
ly needed, he told a meeting of
the American Jewish Congress
national policy-making council,
"because it has become clear
that the right to vote cannot be
protected by the courts on a
ease-by-case, county-county or
even state-by-stste basis. The
franchise can only be protect
ed by a Feedral law that pro
vide# for voting registrars ap
pointed by the President."
The American Jewish Congress
leader warned, however, that un
less action were taken next month
to change the Senate rules— the
question will be debated on the
Senate floor in March—a Southern
filibuster might delay or defeat the
Administration’* voter-registration
