Mississippi Segregation
Laws Unconstitutional

Nine Mississippi travel segregation laws should be
down unconstitutional and state authorities should
be restrained from aresng Negroes for refusing TO obey
those laws the Department of Justice said in friend
ot.hecourt brief filed last Jackson Mississippi
The brief was submitted to three-ludge federal court
considering brought June by three Jackson Ne
rroes challenging travel segregation laws Their suit
was an outgrouth Of so-caled Freedom Rides testing
such laws in South Defendants named included state
and city officials
Attorney General Robert r. Kennedy said the Justice
Department brief also asserted that fhe plaintiffs request
for an injunction against hsrassment we'll arrest,
was too broad and would eompieate unnecessarily the
work Of police.
The brief deals with the constitution lity of the laws
and not with the merits Of the Freedom Rides of
any individual arrests Mr. Kennedy pointed out
Mr Kennedy said the Justice Department brief also
contcnded that:
Use Of otherwise valid laws TO enforce segregation
in transportation facilities by Mississippi authorities is
constitutional;
Ii is improper for authorities TO arrest persons
cising constitutional rights because Of fear Of violence;
authorities should act against rioters instead
1t has long been clear the brief said that it is the
duty Of the federal courts to interpret the Constitu
to declare whether state legislative executive action
may conflict with federal law and to decide whether
such state activities may legally be conducted"
The Mississippi has enacted and enforced laws
recurring segregation in interstate commerce. despite
preme Court rulings that such laws unconstitutional
The Government also asserted that arrests and con-
yctons for breach Of the peace other charge
made solely to enforce segregation in the of facilities
which should be segregated necessarily illegal
and void
:The state and its officials acting beyond the
scope Of their lawful power they make such arrests and
obtain such convictions" the brief said
The Government further asserted that arrests of per
sons who lawfully exercise constitutional rights cannot
be supported the theory that others might riot
and that breaches of peace and violence might

excessive speed is in reality a
