an unidentified city policeman

No confinnation or denial of

According to Crockett, he

to parking for the parade, that

policeman’s permission to wait

Anti-NAACP Laws
Face Ito in Va.
RICHMOND, Va.
In a frontal attack upon a
package of seven anti-NAACP
statues recently enacted by the
Virginia legislature, attorneys
for the National Association for
1«he Advancement of Colored
People Thursday filed a com
plaint in the United States Dis
trict Court here asking the
Court to declare the new puni
tive laws unconstitutional.
The complaint, filed by Oli
ver W. HiU, NAACP attorney
of Richmond, and Robert L.
Carter of New York, NAACP
general counsel, further asks
the court to enjoin state and lo
cal law enforcement officers
from enforcing the statues
which, the complaint charges,
violate the constitutional rights
of citizens as guaranteed by the
Fourteenth Amendment and Ar
ticle I of the U.S. Constitution.
The laws were enacted dur
ing a special session of the
General Assembly last Septem
ber. The open purpose of the
legislation is to ciurb th^
NAACP. The laws (1) prohibit
the solicitation of fimds to de
fray the costs of litigation in
antt-dlscrimlnatlon suits; (2)
ban public advocacy of desegre
gation of the public schools in
compliance with the Supreme
Cotut ruling; (3) penalize at
torneys who accept fees raised
