Judge rejects suit to halt Army spying on citizens
Chicago federal judge dismisses the American Civil Liberties Union bid to stop Army surveillance and to destroy collected data. Judge Richard B. Austin calls the case a “wimpy error” and “an assemblage of Keystone Cops,” while affirming the government’s right to use facilities to prepare for civil disturbance emergencies. The suit cites disclosures by ex-agent John M. O'Brien linking surveillance of leaders like Adlai Stevenson, Abner Mikva, Otto Kerner, and officials Richard J. Daley and Richard B. Ogilvie.
