Court Sets Aside
Fine for Contempt
Against NAACP
Washington (UPI) The
Supreme Court today set
aside a 5100,000 contempt
fine imposed on the National
Association for the Advance
ment of Colored People for
refusal to. produce member
ship lists.
The court held unanimous
ly that Alabama cannot force
the NAACP to produce its
membership lists. It said the
lists are immune from state
scrutiny under the 14th am
endment. The court said more hear
ings are necessary on the
state's attempt to oust the or
ganization from the state.
The NAACP had wanted
the court to invalidate the
state's temporary restraining
order preventing the organi
zation from soliciting support
in Alabama.
Justice John M. Harlan,
speaking for the tribunal,
noted that the Supreme Court
concerned itself only with the
contempt question. He said
the NAACP should appeal the
restraining order in state
courts and get a ruling on the
questipn there before coming
to the U. S. Supreme Court.
On the matter of the
membership list, Harlan said:
"We hold that the immun
ity from state scrutiny of
membership lists which the
association claims on behalf
of its members is here so re
lated to the right of the
members to pursue their law
ful private interest privately
and to associate freely with
others in so doing as to come
within the protection of the
14th Amendment."

told the crowd that many peo

"Every person in this au

to a new Londbn-to-New York
mark Sunday;
Clocked in less than six
hours the giant KC 135 tank
ers came within an hour of
beating the sun in their flight
from London to New York.
Alpha, the first plane to
reach New York, was timed
in 5 hours, 51, minutes and
24.8 seconds. The flying com
panion, designated Bravo,
was clocked 2 minutes 5.2
seconds longer.
British Record Broken
The old record of 7 hours,
29 minutes "was set Aug. 23,
1955, by a British Royal Air
Force Canberra jet bomber.
On the eastbound flight
last Friday, Alpha rocketed
to a new mark of 5 hours, 27
minutes 42.8 seconds, beat
ing the Canberra record by
almost 50 minutes.
On that flight also, Bravo
trailed its sister ship by about
2 minutes.
Since there is a five hour
time difference between Lon
don and New York, both
craft missed beating the sun
by less than an hour Sun
day. Alpha left London at 8:29:
06.2 a.m. (EDT) and was
clocked over Idlewild airport
at 2:20:31 p.m. (EDT).
The West-East flight began
tragically last Friday from
Westover Air Force Base,
Mass. Alpha and Bravo were
airborne when a third sister
ship, also bound -for London,
crashed shortly after takeoff,
killing all 15 aboard, includ
ing 6 newsmen.
