Carr defends Texas poll tax amid federal suit
Atty Gen Waggoner Carr argued in federal court that Texas poll tax laws do not discriminate against Negroes. He cited a Southern Regional Council survey showing higher or comparable registration among Black Texans and claimed the tax funds the Available School Fund. The suit, under the Voting Rights Act, centers on an all white Austin precinct and could prompt a new voter registration law.
