...single one is registered to vote. Since Hood, a balding man with a dark scowl, became registrar in 1960, only 16 Negroes have even bothered to try. As elsewhere in Mississippi, the most effective block to Negro registration is a state law requiring that any prospective voter read and interpret to the satisfaction of registrars one of the 286 sections of the state constitution.

Among its 11,000 full-time employees are 4,828 modestly paid ($84.84 a week) salespeople, including 1,400 who can interpret in 42 languages, and 150 telephone operators who write 1,000,000 orders a year. Macy's also has a private police force big enough to protect a city the size of Des Moines; it is captained by an ex-FBI agent, who presides over an array of secret photoelectric...
