Termite certificates are usual-
ly issued by termite extermi-
nating companies in connec-
tion with the sale of houses at
the request of purchasers, who
rely on the validity of such
certificates in certifying the
houses have been inspected
and no live termites or termite
damage found present. When
the certificate is in error, "it
is a flagrant violation and a
fraud upon the purchaser,"
Ballinger declared.

against Federal school desegre-
gation decrees; to obtain new
job opportunities for Negro
workers; to protect Negro con-
sumers from exploitative ghet-
to merchants; to eliminate slum
conditions; to correct inequities
in the Selective Service; and
to dismantle the whole sinister
structure of Jim Crow.
We arc, of course, for a just
peace. But there already exist
dedicated organizations whose
No. 1 task is to work for
peace just as our No. 1 job is
to work for civil rights.
Federal Voting Examiners
Move Into Ga, La., Miss.
WASHINGTON D. C. — Since President
Federal Voting Examiners have
begun to open the door for the
registration of over 50,000 Ne-
groes in nine counties in Geor-
gia, Louisiana and Mississippi
as a result of the action by
Attorney General Ramsey
Clark last week.
The Attorney General an-
nounced on March 25 that he
had designated nine counties
in the three states for the ap-
pointment of federal voting
examiners under the 1965 Vot-
ing Rights Act.
Wiley Branton, Special As-
sistant to the Attorney General,
revealed that in the nine coun-
ties designated by the Attorney
General there are 75,000 Ne-
groes of voting age with only
21,000 now registered.
Mr. Branton said:

Since President Johnson
signed thc Voting Rights Act
of 19b5, over 600,000 Negroes
have been registered in the
South which brings the total
registration of Negroes in the
eleven Southern states to over
2,600,000.
Upon signing the Voting
Rights Act in 1965, President
Johnson stated:
“I pledge you that we will
not delay, or we will not hesi-
tate or we will not turn aside,
until Americans of every race
and color and origin on this
country have the same rights
as all others to share in the pro-
cess of democracy.
"So, through this act, and its
enforcement, an important in-
strument of freedom passes in-
to the hands of millions of our
“This ' citizens."
