Federal Grand Jury In Louisiana Kicks FBI In Pants;
Purging Of Illegal Negro Voters From Lists Approved

Brownell's Effort To Run Over White People Stopped Cold By Citizens Council

Louisiana has launched a campaign to rid the voters' list of illegally listed Negroes in the Southern half of the state.

They have already purged the voters' rolls of illegally registered Negroes in the Northern half of the state.

Senator W. M. Rainach, who is the Secretary of the Citizens Councils of Louisiana, says:

"By this time next year, Louisiana will be a shining example to the nation on how to thwart the NAACP."

The FBI has been in Louisiana trying to investigate Senator Rainach and his associates in an effort to put an end to the purging of the rolls of the illegally registered Negroes.

Yet, Senator Rainach and the Citizens Councils of Louisiana have thumbed their nose at the political gestapo now operated by Herbert Brownell and formerly as the FBI.

The matter came before the federal grand jury at Monroe, Louisiana for investigation and of their action, Senator Rainach says:

"The Citizens Councils' 'operation cleanup' has been given the green light by the federal jury at Monroe."

The first campaign was waged last summer and fall in thirteen North Louisiana parishes and more than eleven thousand illegally registered Negroes were ousted from the rolls in these parishes.

When the FBI brought it before the grand jury which convened in Monroe, Louisiana, a few weeks ago, the grand jury returned a no bill and the grand jury approved the current drive to enforce the voters' qualification laws of Louisiana backed by the Citizens Councils and Senator Rainach again said:

"At the same time the grand jury action scuttled the Department of Justice plot to clamp a reign of terror on the South. The immediate objective was federal control of the registration process in Louisiana."

"The great importance attached to the Monroe matter was illustrated by the fact that a special prosecutor, St. John Barrett, from the Washington office, was placed in charge of the proceedings."

"Brownell and the NAACP know the key to integration is the bloc vote. This small bloc, under skillful direction of the NAACP, runs New York. Louisiana is thirty-two percent Negro. The NAACP will rule us with an even stronger hand if Brownell succeeds in his scheme."

Rainach, in his campaign in Louisiana, has always claimed that the South's best hope in the segregation fight is to clear the registration rolls of all illegally registered voters.

In Louisiana, there are numerous dis-

qualifications for voters such as whether an applicant fills out an application form properly in his own handwriting without assistance.

Louisiana is pointing the way for the other states. When white primary laws were destroyed by the edicts of the federal courts, the Negroes started voting in droves and the white registrars were so dumbfounded until they lost their nerve and failed to apply to the new voters the legal qualifications for voting.

Consequently, the voting rolls all over the South have been swelled with illegal voters and people who have no business there. Rainach is absolutely right in his contentions that the rolls must now be purged and those who were illegally admitted to the rolls should be removed.

This bloc voting, under the direction of the NAACP, is the most dangerous influence in America. For example, these illiterate, ignorant and illegal voters in such places as Chicago, New York, Philadelphia, Boston and Detroit have been piled on the rolls to such an extent until the politicians of those areas literally tremble in their boots whenever an NAACP leader speaks.

Bloc voting has destroyed their nerve and their courage, as well as their intelligence. It has resulted in sending to the Congress of the United States and state capitols a bunch of nincompoops who have neither the intelligence nor the courage necessary to preserve our way of life and the American form of government.

Rainach's example in Louisiana should point the way. The people of Georgia, South Carolina, Tennessee, Alabama and all of the other Southern states now know the most effective weapon with which to combat the filthy campaign to destroy civilization in the South.

It is high time that Georgia followed suit.
