Challenge to Court Orders Casts Light on Integration Fight
Spokesmen say higher courts will decide legality of Judge Frank Johnson decrees. The judge halted actions until further notice, blocking organized "freedom rides" aiming to challenge racial segregation in Alabama. Montgomery police are charged with willful failure to curb mob violence from two weeks prior and the force is under an injunction to halt violence, affecting interstate bus travel. An earlier order bars the Ku Klux Klan and three individuals from further violence against riders and other interstate travelers.
