Restraining Order Over East Carroll Voter Qualification
A federal judge blocked Judge Edwin F. Hunter from issuing final registration certificates to 28 East Carroll Parish Negro voters. District Judge Frank Voelker Sr. issued the order after the state requested it, following Hunter's July 12 finding that the 28 were qualified after tests for 53 applicants. Objections are due July 20 with a hearing set for Monday at 3 30 p.m. in Shreveport. The state argues Hunter overstepped his bounds by performing an executive duty in registering voters under Civil Rights Act provisions. No Negro had voted in East Carroll since 1922.

The measure simply sets spending ceilings and hints at Kennedy's discretionary authority to extend aid behind the Iron Curtain if national security requires it.
