and Kdgar P. Foreman, voted against
the bill; both were defented. How-
ever, several Democratic representa-
tivea who had voted for the bill were
able to retain their seats.
As further evidence that the voters
rejected the racist appeal of the Gold-
waterites, the NAACP analysis also
noted that in many instancea the <le«
feat of anti-civil rights Republican!
occurred in areas with an extremely
small percentage of Negro voters.

Negro Press International
MAUItY CITY, Tenn.—This ru-
rnl community, about 30 miles from
Jackson, Tenn., ha* come upon some
publicity which it may reap a har-
vest on for years to come—the birth
of the first set of quadruplets in the
state's recorded history.
The quartet wa* born to Iter. Wil-
lie Grant Lyon*, 45-year-old preach-
er and farm laborer, ami hi* wife,
Robbie Mae, in Madison County
hospital last week. The quads, two
boys and two girls, were born within
five minutes of each other, with the
first one arriving at 4 :14 A. M. Plac-
ed in incubators, they ranged in
weight from 3 pounds to 4 pounds,
12 ounces.
The first such births to be record-
<*1 in Tennessee since the state began
keeping records in 1017, they balloon-
ed the Lyons family to eight—the
other children are between the ages
of 3 and 10.

Blind Facilities
In Florida
Desegregated
Negro Press International
DAYTON A UK A OH, Fla—Voca-
tional Rehabilitation center activities
operated by the Florida Council for
the Blind were ordered desegregated
last week.
The council's board took the action
after being told President Lyndon
Johnson would issue a directive im-
mediately after the election which
would force any agency receiving fed-
eral funda to comply with the new
civil rights law.
Murdock Martin, council executive
director, said be was told that such a
directive hss been written and would
Ihj enforced after the election.
Hoard Member William llurke of
Miami said he saw the directive,
which he described as a 12-line order
calling for withholding of federal
funds from agencies that do not com-
ply with civil rights regulations.
At present, classes designed for re-
habilitation of blind persons run
eight weeks. The classes are alter-
nated. One eight-week period is for
Negroes, one for white*. Even though
they do not attend the center at the
same time, separate quarter* are
maintained for Negroe* and white*.
In the recent action the classes and
quarters were desegregated.
Another fnctor which may have
been involved in the decision to de-
segregate the facility, wa* a recent
hearing in Pensacola by the federal
civil rights commission, which Bought

White persons living in this county.
In Wilcox county, the unofficial re-

This is one of the approximately
12 Alabama Black Belt counties. Iu
all but two of these 12 counties
there are either no Negro votera or a
token number of Negro voters.
With the exception of Macon, the
four Alabama counties in which Ala-

ballots for the Democratic (un-
pledged) presidential electors were
outside the Black Belt. They were
Colbert, Launderdale and Limestone.
There are Ncjto voters in all five
of these counties. These four counties
are in the eighth congressional dis-
trict where incumbent Bob Jones
(D) waa unopposed.
An estimated 100,000 Negro votera
