Night

By TIMOTHY ROBINSON

Washington Post Wire Service

WASHINGTON - A federal judge

yesterday told the FBI to file with the

National Archives all of its tapes and

documents growing out of buggings and

wiretaps of slain civil rights leader Dr.

Martin Luther King Jr.

The materiais cannot be made pub

lic for at least 50 years. except by court

order, according to the ruling.

U.S,

District Judge John Lewis

Smith J. issued the order on dismissing

two civil suits filed against the FBI by

Bernard Lee, a former assistant to Dr

King, and the Southern Christian Lead-

ership Conference, which Dr. King head-

ed until his assassination in April 1968.

The suits asked money damages SA ---

from the FBI for the buggings. They

alleged the FBI secretly recorded King's

conversations in a motel room here in

1963 and sent a copy of the tape to his

wife, Corretta Scott King. as well as

bugging other conversations.

In addition, the suits claimed copies

of those recordings and

others were

played for members of the news media

as part of an attempt to discredit King

Judge Smith dismissed the suits.

however. because they were not filed

before the three-year statute of limita-

tions for such action had run cut.

The FBI must provide the judge an

inventory of the materials within 90 days

and provide the material to the National

Archives in that same time period
