No definite union with another denomination was expected at this annual meeting, but the proposal of a former president of the international convention of Disciples of Christ (Christian Church) for consideration of an organic union brought the matter squarely before the delegates. Dr. George A. Campbell, pastor of a St. Louis Christian church, told the Baptists yesterday that "doctrinally we are very close together and whatever was the difference that cause our sepoaration in 1830, It Is my conviction that our two communions now hold very similar positions." He asked the Northern Baptists to appoint a committee this week to meet with the Disciples' convention in Kansas City in October to consider a merger.

AUSTIN, May Attorney General William McCraw ruled today that legroes had been barred voting in the Texas democratic primary elec- The opinion was given to Miss Emilie Limberg, Travis clerk, In response to an nquiry. It further stated tfiat a' reso- ution adopted by the State Democratic convention in Houston In 1932 declaring negroes Ineligible Jor participation in the primaries still was in effect and need not De adopted at the convention meeting in San Antonio next Tuesday. "I do not find that this resolu- has ever been withdrawn at any subsequent convention of the Democratic party," the opinion said.

McCraw said the questions by the Travis county clerk lad been settled by the state and United States supreme courts. In the case of Bell against the 3111 couny clerk, he said Chief Justice C. M. Cureton of the state supreme court had held that a resolution such as tfiat adopted at Houston "was valid and could be legally enforced by the Demo- -iratic party." "The court pointed out that It was not upholding the validity of a statute but that it was merely upholding the validity of a resolution passed by a political party," McCraw said. "If a statute were enacted to the same effect of the resolution the officers of the commit- would have been officers of the state and any action taken ay them in the connection with the qualification of members of the party would have been in fact a state action." Supremo Court Billings.

The United States supreme jourt passed on the issue in two cases, McCraw continued, R. R. Brovey against Albert Townsend ind Nixon against Condon, hold- Ing, in effect, that negroes could be excluded from primaries by the parties but not by the state. He said the Nixon case specifically held "that the Democratic executive committee is authorized to lay down such rules as It may see necessary to exclude ne- groes from the Democratic primaries." With reference to the necessity for re-adopting the resolution, McCraw continued: "The supreme court ruled that if a resolution had not been revoked or repealed by tho Democratic convention then said resolution would be In full force and and a new resolution need not be acted upon." The opinion had been expected. The question usually arises in election years, and, in effect, always Is settled in the same way.

AUSTIN, May 5 District Judge Ralph Yarborough ordered an instructed v.erdict today in favor of the daily racing form in the state's suit for injunctions to close sources of information to bookmakers.

The state had sought cancellation of the racing form's permit to do business in Texas. It was one of the several defendants in th 0 suit, which was instituted last August at the request of Governor Allred. Judge Yarborough ruled that the constitutional guaratee of freedom of the press extended to the racing form In the publication of race news. He further held that there was no to show that the Regal Press, publisher of the race paper, had done any illegal acts or that the racing form was published to aid betting. The state's case apparently was weakened against other defendants for Everett Looney, special counsel for the governor, conceded that argument in behalf o' the racing form by Judge C.

A. Leddy was applicablo to other defendants. Looney continued that "the freedom of the press and speech yields to police powers of the state and to the public welfare." Restriction on dissemination of information used in gambling, he contended, would not infringe upon the freedom of the press or speech as contemplated In the constitution. Holding the paper published "legal information about races," Judge Yarborough said "It is not up to the courts to pass upon whether Information published is wise; that Is for the reader to determine." He held also that there was no state law prohibiting tho publication of probable odds on horse races, a point urged by the state against the racing form, and observed that some dally newspapers published that Information. Court Without Power.

Even though It could be assunv ed, which was not, that the paper was published with the motive of aiding betting, Judge Yarborough said, "I don't think there is any question of the lack of power of this court to enjoin it." Ho reiterated an Inclination to overrule a motion for an Instructed verdict for the Texas News Service, against which the state directed much of Its testimony. "It was chartered to construct and maintain telegraph and telephone lines," he said. "There has been, no proof that It has done so." He said tho ruling for the racing form should not bo interpreted as Indicative of his decision on similar motions for the American Telegraph and Telephone company, Southwestern Bell Telephone company Western Union and Postal Telegraph company, other defendants. Decisions on their motions will bo made upon completion of arguments. FREO W.
