Federal Judge Weighs State Interference in Racial Protests
In Montgomery, U.S. District Judge Frank M. Johnson Jr. weighs whether Alabama officials may interfere with peaceful demonstrations tied to Negro voting rights. The suit by the NAACP seeks to halt Governor Wallace and other officials from disrupting a Selma to Montgomery march. The Justice Department urges a broader ruling to bar interference with any peaceful protests. President Martin Luther King Jr. risks contempt as he faces the hearing after defying an order banning further marches. State police prevented a planned march involving about 2,000 demonstrators.
