A separate YMCA branch is maintained in Raleigh for Ne groes. The two YMCA’S op erate completely independent of one another and each is re sponsible for its own policies. The suit asks the court to prominently enjoin the YMCA from maintaining a policy of racial segregation. Ttie Legal Defense Fund launched a campaign against segregated YMCA’s In Febru ary. Suits were filed against YMCA’s in Charlotte, and Nor folk, Va., and both branches desegregated before the cases came to trial. The Bloodworth St. YMCA in Raleigh has al ways maintained an open-door policy and has always had some white participation. At that time, a survey by the YMCA National Council in dicated that 180 of the 1,800 branches In the United States practices total or partial segre gation. A similar survey last month indicated that over 60 branch es remain segregated, includ ing nine each in North Carolina, South Carolina and Georgia; seven each in Alabama, Louis iana and Mississippi; six in Florida; two each In Virginia and Texas; and one In Tennes see. Legal Defense Fund attorneys involved in the suit are Conrad O. Pearson, of Durham; Sauel Mitchell and Romallus O. Mur phy, of Raleigh; J.

Seek Ban On Dixie Jury Biaß WASHINGTON (NPI) - "Con siderable attention" to the ex clusion of Negroes from South ern juries is occupying the Justice Department, but a spokesman refused to say whether the practice Is a pos sible violation in Hayneville, Ala, The violat ion involves a 90- year old federal law that makes Jury discrimination a crime. Asked about possible use of the law after an all-white ac quitted a Hayneville deputy sheriff In the shotgun slaying of a civil rights worker, the reaction indicated that a course of action had not yet been de cided. The Johnson administration has assigned fundamental pri ority to helping Negroes gain the rights to vote. But, reac tion to the Hayneville trial, on top of acquittals In other ci vil rights killings in the South may compel the administration to seek more immediate re medies. The Justice Department also Is debating whether to Join in a suit with the American Ci vil Liberties Union (ACLU) challenging the constitutionality of trials In Lowndes County (Hayneville) because women and Negroes are excluded from jury service. The reason for this action, It was reported, was to seek a Supreme Court stay to pre vent the retrial of Ku Klux Klansman Collie Leroy Wil kins, Jr. In the county. When asked about the pos sible use of the 1875 Jury dis crimination law as a result of the Coleman trial, White House Press Secretary Bill D, Moy ers replied; (Be* svmcn dept,, p. 8)
