Mr. Justice Douglas,
dissenting.
The position of the Court continues the strangulation of 42 U. S. C. § 1983 that has recently been evident. See, e. g., Huffman v. Pursue, Ltd., 420 U. S. 592 (1975). The road of the respondent employee has been longer and more expensive than the Congress planned. See Harrison v. NAACP, 360 U. S. 167, 179-184 (1959) (Douglas, J., dissenting). I would affirm the decision of the Court of Appeals.
