The Supreme Court ruled that Alabama cannot prosecute James E. Mills of the Birmingham Post-Herald for a 1962 election-day editorial urging abolition of the city's commission form of government. Justice Black led the decision, saying suppression of press rights to praise or criticize government agents harms a key democratic agency. The decision affects Alabama's Corrupt Practices Act and upholds free press protections across the states. The court also announced several other opinions on railway work conditions, tax evasion by Ben Blue, pollution from Standard Oil, obscenity convictions, and a Nashville couple’s nude photos case.
