NAACP Again Asks
Review Os SIOO G Fine
MONTGOMERY Ala - A SftC- j
end request that it review a SIOO.-
000 cor tempt of court fine against
the NAACP was considered here
Tuesday by the State Supreme
Court.
Also requested was a review of j
the injunction banning the orgari* '
ration in Alabama as an afiei
rnath of the Autherine Lucy riots \
and the Montgomery bus boycott. J
Attorneys for the- NAACP filed
an amended petition with the
court on Monday after their first :
petition for a review was turned .
down last week. A second coui t
•efusal would leave the NAACP
vith only the U. S. Supreme Court
or a further appeal
No date for a hearing on the
second petition was immediate'
iy set. Unlike the first petition, j
the one filed on Monday asked
the court lo review a circuit i
court injunction issued June 1
temporarily banning the NA
ACP in Alabama.
Circuit Judge Walter B. Jones i
granted the injunction at the re- j
West of Attorney General John :
Patterson on grounds that the NA- I
ACP was improperly chartered and j
has conspired to break Alabama j
taw.
When the organization refused■
to produce on Jones' order, its Ah j
amaba membership lists for use j
as state’s evidence, the jurist fined !
