Whatever the machine's motives, the issue for most of Gary's voters is likely to be black v. white. Negroes constitute a 55% majority of the population, but whites and Negroes are about equal in registration-and Krupa, who happens also to be county clerk, is not about to open the rolls for a new registration drive.
