Supreme Court Overturns Alabama NAACP Ban
The Supreme Court unanimously struck down an Alabama court order barring the NAACP from operating in the state. The case began in 1958 with a Montgomery County Circuit Court ruling that the organization could not conduct intrastate business for failing to register as a foreign nonprofit. The state high court affirmed in 1963, and the NAACP appealed, pitching violations of freedom of association due process and equal protection.

Rights Camps Vie Over Watered Down Civil Rights Bill
In Washington, Javits and Sparkman, leaders of opposing camps in the Senate civil rights fight, said the anti discrimination bill has been watered down by a new amendments package.

They spoke during radio and TV programs in their states as the Senate nears a showdown vote anticipated around June 15. The day marked the Senate’s return from Memorial Day recess for its fourth month of consideration.
