The new Civil Rights bill on registrak tion and voting, while not a direct on freedom, is a flanking movement to turn the system. Only six states last November cast men electoral votes against the Democratic ticket. Five of these six will be affected if the new bill passes. Because less than 50 per cent of their, adult population voted in 1964, Alabama, Louisiana, Georgia and Mississippi, South Carolina (along with Alaska and Virginia) are in line for having federal officials replace the State officers in charge of registration and voting.

There will be no period of adjustment.
