HEW ORLEANS, Jan. 28
-- Hollywood could hardly
come up with two more ap-propriate adversaries -. Al-
vin J. Bronstein, 39, hand-
some, dark-haired civil rightsattorney ' from "New Yorlt,.'""
and Judge Leander H. Pe-
rez Sr., .76,-of PlaquerninesParish, La., a distinguished-
looking, gray-haired politi-
cal boss and old school seg-
regationist. _ .
They faced each other
across a conference table,Bronstein with a legal pad
loaded with questions, Perez
puffing on a cigar and peer-
ing through light-rimmedglasses. From their enc0un~
ter emerged a story of one
man's iron-listed domination
of a parish county! govern-
ment for more than 40 years
'-o story of his influence on.Louisiana politics and his
unyielding opposition to the
Federal Government in the
civil rights movement.
i Bronstein was taking a
deposition from Perez .£or
use in a Federal court suit
challenging the right of
Plaquemines and the State
officials to prohibit out-0L
state lawyers from repre-
senting Negroes and civilrights workers in Louisiana
courts. The trial of the case
before a three-judge courtresumes here Monday. "
After the_taking of the
deposition, another civil
rights attorney commented

ee,-Echard B. Sobol. -.
Sobol is a young civil rights»ecttorney from Washmgton'~5and New York who had
been arrested in Plaque-
mines Parish for unau;thorized practice of law.'_' Soboloff_ and Bronstein, Perez snorted, it sounds
-like Russian to me."' Perez not only acknow-ledged but boasted of his-political powers. He was
elected Plaquemines firstjudge in 1_920.and later be-came district attomey, andpresident of the ParishCouncil-posts now held by
his sons. - --
Perez, a millionaire and
perhaps the parish's wealth-iest landowner, declared he
had set up the pa:-ishs
fiscal policy and Plaque-mines had the lowest tax
rate in the State. He" has
made the parish's law, in--terpreted -it and enforced
it. ' » '
For two decades he has
directed the Plaquemines
-Democratic Executive Com-
mittee and he often has had
control or strong inuence
over the state committee. He
. has 'fwril.ten_bllF'
F
Iv92
legislators _ unofficial advi-ser." - ~ ~ 5 ~ -
As'Pai-ish Council presi-
dent, Perez pushed through
an order prohibi-ting demon-strations oi. more than 14
people without a permit." He;
proudly noted that no one
has applied for a permit
and we have not had-any
such demonstrations." '_ Bronstein asked Perez
about the Council's; pur-
chase of an old fort Ft. St.
Phillip! on the Mississippi
River for use as a stockade
to imprison any civil rights
workers who might venture
into Plaqucmines. _ Yes, of course," was the
reply, because we felt that
our jails were not large
enough to accomodate the
large number of demonstrat-
ors . . . that visited other
places. So we prepared for
them. e .
To reach Polnte a la Ha-
che, the parish seat, by one
route it is necessary to cross
the Mississippi by ferry.Bronstqin asked Perez if he
had once told someone, If
Martin Luther King comes
in, we'll guarantee h_is trans-
portation across the-river-
part way that is." =1; ,
"Pos sibly," Perez said.
"Hey, are you defending
Martin Luther King? Is he
one of your idols?"
At another point, Bron-
steinasked about the adopt-
ion of a parish ordinance re-
quiring that itinerant work-
ers be fingerprinted. '
There was an inux of
many hundreds . . . thou-
sands of itinerant laborers.
There were a number of un-
desirable characters and
criminals who drifted into
the parish as a result, espe-
cially one incident where a
young woman was raped and
attempted murder was com-
mitted . ; ." -
Bronstein asked if Perezi >I0 :92:~ , eC
belives the council "has the
pow_er_ to enact an ordinance
requiring the fingerprinting
and mugging or registering
of'la'wyers_,-who_.come into
the 'parish."»:~. -1.: .
'fThets entirely different,"Perez an. we found a
lawyer with a criminal rec-
ord we would handle him,
sir, just as we handle itiner-
antworkers.._;_j~"So, if you are a_ member,
for instance, of tiie'Ame'rl-
can Civil Liberties Union or
any Communist organiza-
tion, regardless of whether
the Federal Government at-
tempts to protect you, we
would make it very incon-
venient for you in the Par-
ish of Plaquemines."_ Bronstein: Suppose I toldyou that . ~. . Mr. Sobol is
an out-of-state lawyer and is
affiliated with the American
Civil Liberties Union?",
Perez: My answer would
be that he belongs to an
atheistic, Commumistic or-
ganization, and in my com-
munity he would not be a
good American, but just a
rat," Perez said.
Suppose Sobol made a
civil rights talk to a Ne-
gro audience in Ploquemines
Parish, Bronstein asked.
Perez: If 1 saw him agi-
tating untliinlcin-g Negroes to
disturb the peace I'd handle
him personally, as a man.
Yes, I'd stop him. Try and
see, Mr. Sobol . . ."
Bronstein inquired about
Penezs confirm-a-tion with
two Negro attorneys from
New Orleans who went to
Plaquemines to represent
several Negroes arrested
there. Perez replied -th-at he
told the attorneys they could
represent -the Negroes, -but
"I said if they came down to
start any trouble, Pd take
care of.it."" . -
. Didn't you infact sug-
gest they get out of town?"asked Bronstein. . i '
-. I told them to use thei; 'I .
own judgment, plied and went ion. to_ ex-
plain their iu_dgn_'i_eut waste
leave town. According to
an a't-torneys testimony dur-
ing the Sobol ease trial, the
two attorneys found..upon_
arriving in Plaquemines Par-.ish,.that» their clients .h_adalready been tried, convictedand sentenced!. _ 3' . *
Had not perez onceurged
Plaquemines citizens to re-
fuse to cooperate with the
"FBI, which was investigat-
ing civil rights violations?
"Yes," he retorted. At one
time the secret police
were knoclting on doors.
and I told the people . . ; to
tell them on go to .hell. It
was none of their business.
Yes, we resent the Federal
interference in our local gov-
ernment. Absolutely. 1t's un-
American. It's unlawful. It's
dictatoriaL Its oppressive."
Did Perez believe civil
rights legislation was par
of the Communist conpiri
