Ford and the UAW reached agreement Sept. 18 on a national contract, but several local units lack the agreements which supplement the national pact. Ford has 90 bargaining units.

And Gaming nor Liq Are Out In Natchez Lyndon LOS ANGELES (UPI) -President Johnson aligned himself with the "broad mainstream of America" Wednesday as he campaigned to a roaring Southern California welcome in what he called "Democratic country. Downtown Los Angeles turned out a noon time reception in which scores of thousands of "LBJ" admirers crowded around the President's motorcade.

Poll Tax Non-Payment Receipt Ruled Out In Federal Election Is Robbed By Gunman By DALLAS BOOTHE United Press International A three-judge federal panel has declared unconstitutional a state law requiring voters to obtain a receipt for "non-payment of poll taxes" before voting in federal elections. An order filed in U. S.

district court here directed the state election commission to "desist from application or use of the' act in any way to deny any registered voter the right to vote. The ruling did not throw out MIAMI BEACH, Fla. (AP) America's bankers said Wednesday it's too easy for the average man to obtain credit, and the situation could lead to inflation. In a resolution adopted unani mously at its 90th annual convention, the American Bankers Association said it is difficult to find justification for the degree of ease which now prevails in credit markets." ASK TIGHTENING The resolution urged a tightening of credit through the Federal Reserve System, which controls the nation's supply of money and credit by various methods. The bankers said an Inflationary trend could stem from borrowers using their too-ample supply of credit to out-bid each other for goods and services.

This, they said, could lead to production bottlenecks and a scarcity of skilled labor and another upward wage-price spiral in the general economy. the poll tax requirement for voting in state elections. NO EFFECT State Atty. Joe Patterson said the ruling would have no effect on the Nov. 3 election except that the "non-payment" receipts would not be required.

The ruling came in a federal suit filed by two Hattiesburg Negroes, including Victoria Jackson Gray, an unsuccessful candidate for the U. S. Senate in the 1964 Democratic primary. The controversial election law was enacted by the legislature had fine records otherwise and therefore they deserved probation.

SAYS SELL SECURITIES A spokesman indicated the ABA would prefer that the Federal Reserve System tighten up on credit by selling the government securities it holds. This would take money out of the hands of member banks and the public. The Federal Reserve System also could tighten credit by raising the interest rate it charges banks for money It loans them, a move that would boost interest rates all down the line.

"As the economy continues on its present upward course, the monetary authorities should promote gradual and orderly changes in credit conditions," the ABA resolution said. this year after ratification of an amendment to the U. S. Constitution banning the poll tax requirement for participating in federal elections. State lawmakers passed a law complying with the amendment, but adding a provision that registered voters who have not paid poll tax must obtain a receipt showing they have not paid the tax.

A separate ballot for state and federal offices is being used in the Nov. 3, election. Only voters who have paid poll taxes would be allowed to vote on the state ballot. EXPLAIN LAW Lawmakers said earlier the law was designed to require prospective voters to show that they were eligible under the law to cast their ballots, but to keep them from voting in state elections. Mrs.

Gray and Cedia Wallace, a registered Negro voter, charged the law "was designed for the purpose of preventing persons who have registered without payment of a poll tax, most of whom are Negroes, from voting." Defendants in the suit were the three-man state election commission, composed of Gov. Paul Johnson, Secretary of State Hebcr Ladner, and Atty. Gen. Patterson. The decision was made without hearing of testimony, upon agreement of both sides.

BASED ON BRIEFS The court, composed of U. S. Circuit Judge Griffin Bell or Atlanta and District Judges Gaude Clayton and Harold Cox of Mississippi, made their decision on the basis of briefs. The panel overruled a motion by the defendants to dismiss the suit, and held the law was "unconstitutional and void on Its face in its entirety." Patterson said the rutins "simply says you cannot require voters go to tne sheriff's office and get a poll tax receipt marked 'unpaid'." "All clerks have been notified accordingly," he said. He said no appeal waa planned.
