The federal agency began Its probe this week but has given no indication how long it will need to copy the rec ords. "It is obvious that our of fice cannot function while our records are in the possession of the federal police,"' Crum Dinkins, " chairman of the Montgomery county board of registrars said. "Registration of voters' will therefore be suspended" for .the duration of the inspection, he said, although "the closing of our office at this time will, we believe, prevent a large number of Montgomery coun ty citizens . . . from voting in the general election in No vember." To Surrender Records U. S. Middle District Judge Frank M. Johnson Jr.' ordered the board of registrars last Friday to surrender its rec ords to federal agents.' The local FBI bureau will make the examination for the civil rights commission.: The commission asked for the probe after receiving "nu merous complaints" Negroes have been discriminated against in their repeated ef forts to become registered vot ers in this former capital of the confederacy..,. Commission field agents "checked out" more than 45 complaints before asking U.S. Atty. Gen. William P. Rogers to secure the records. Action Seen Political Dinkins said, "The action of the government appears to be purely political, aimed at the large mass of Negro vot ers in the north, and we do not suppose that the problem of Montgomery voters is of much importance to the at torney general of the United State's. , , When the agents walk in, Dinkins said,' the registrars walk out. Johnson, one of the young est federal judges in the na tion, dismissed a request by State Atty. Gen. MacDonald bama be present during the examination. "All legal prob lems in this matter have. been absolve d," Johnson said. "There is no need for either agents of the United States or the state of Alabama to be present." Asked To Set Date Rogers asked Johnson to set the date for the inspection last week after the 5th circuit court of appeals at New Or leans denied an Alabama re quest for a permanent injunc tion, barring agents of t h e civil rights commission from inspecting the records. Earlier, the federal judge threw out Alabama's conten tion the investigative section of the controversial 1960 civil rights law was unconstitution al. Johnson held the section "if properly applied and en forced provides an effective means whereby preliminary investigations of registration practices can be made in or der to determine whether such conform, to constitutional prin ciples." Alabama, along with the Montgomery county registrars appealed the decision. Campaign Quotes By United Press International Vice President Richard M.
