Negro Voting Battle Looms in Montgomery
In Montgomery Alabama a major clash over Negro voting unfolds as U S District Judge Frank M Johnson Jr presides over contempt charges against former Circuit Judge George Wallace for withholding voter registration records.

The wider fight centers on white supremacy in the Deep South and tensions around segregation led by King era protests. The incident follows Eisenhower's Civil Rights Commission inquiry into Negro voting rights with Tuskegee Institute cited amid broader regional pressure.
