Justice Dept To Seek Penalties In Civil Rights Violence
The offense carries penalties to 20 years in prison and a fine of 10,000 dollars. The Anniston incident where white men broke bus windows and tossed in a fire bomb marked the week’s violence as other riders were beaten in Anniston and Birmingham. A major fight near Montgomery injured several when an interstate bus arrived. Attorney General Kennedy announced Anniston arrests after a White House conference with President Kennedy. Senate leader Mansfield said the administration won’t seek new civil rights laws this year. Alabama’s delegation urged recall of federal marshals, saying the state can keep the peace without outside help. The telegram publicized by Senator Hill quoted the delegation urging federal aid cessation.
