Court Upholds City Dismissal Of Sanitation Workers
The 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled last September that the city could discharge 15 sanitation workers for cause. It rejected a bid by a group of Negroes alleging racial discrimination in routing an interstate highway through a Negro district in North Nashville Tennessee. The court also refused to speed its hearing on a challenge by two broadcasting networks to government regulation and personal attacks or political editorials on air. The rules require notice and response rights if a station airs an alleged attack during a controversial issue, except for newscasts or spot news.
