Army spying suit dismissed by federal judge in Chicago
Judge Richard B. Austin dismissed the ACLU suit seeking an injunction to halt Army surveillance of private citizens and to destroy collected data. He called the probe a Washington boondoggling and a comedy of errors, while ruling the administration may use available facilities for emergencies. Witnesses tied surveillance to figures such as Senator Adlai Stevenson III and Governor Richard Ogilvie, with Ab Ernathy and others photographed during events.
