Sweeping no bus violence court order issued
Federal Judge Frank Johnson ordered four Freedom Rider groups to halt tests of racial barriers in Alabama. He also issued a broad no bus violence order against Montgomery police, the Ku Klux Klan, and four individuals while threatening jail for leaders if riots recur. Injunctions extend to Klan factions and two Klan figures with other named locals. A temporary injunction bars rider sponsors including CORE from interfering with interstate bus travel. The ruling follows May 20 mob attacks on riders and maintains police protection demands for riders.
