Texas, 311 U.S. 128, 130 , 61 S. Ct. 164, 165 , 85 L.Ed. 84, 86 (1940) (exclusion of blacksstate court). "And its exercise (of jury selection) must always accord with the fact that the proper functioning of the jury system, and, indeed, our democracy itself, requires that the jury be a `body truly representative of the community', and not the organ of any special group or class." Glasser v. United States, 315 U. S. 60, 86 , 62 S.Ct. 457, 472 , 86 L.Ed. 680, 707 (1942).

Brown v. Allen, 344 U.S. 443, 474 , 73 S.Ct. 397, 416 , 97 L.Ed. 469, 498 (1953). (dictum).”
