Path Cleared for Suit AgainstMass. Mayor, Police Official
SPRINGFIELD, Mass.?Mayor
Charles V. Ryan, Police ChiefJohn F. Lyons and membersof the Springfield Board of Po-lice Commissioners face trialon a complaint filed by theNAACP seeking a permanentinjunction restraining themfrom interfering with peacefulcivil rights demonstrations.
Such a trial, involving city
officials, is believed by civilrights lawyers to be unprece-dented in a northern state
court. The path was cleared
for the trial when, on Dec. 3,Superior Court Judge Frede-rick S. Pillsbury denied a mo-tion of the city officials to
dismiss the entire complaint
on the grounds that it did not
state a cause of action. Policebrutality is among the charges
included in the complaint.
Barbara A. Morris of NewYork City, and Henry Weiss-man of Springfield filed theqomplaint seeking to enjoin
Mayor Ryan and police offi-
cials.This is the first time, Steel
said, to his knowledge, "that
the tactic of attempting to en-join polie interference withcivil rights demonstrations and
to enjoin prosecution of thedemonstrators has been at-tempted in a northern state
court. By merely getting to thetrial stage, we will be convert-ing some of benefits of le-gal victories won in the Southto a northern-type situation."
