(See Attached List) September 16, 1964 

WASHINGTON, D.C.--The U.S. Supreme Court was today asked to re- 
view the case of a 67-year old white minister charged with 
"interfering with religious worship" as result of an attempt to 
attend, along with Negro companions, the First Baptist Church 
in Atlanta, Ga., June 30, 1963 

Attorneys of the NAACP Legal Defense Fund argue in their 
petition that Rev. Ashton Bryan Jones was convicted under a 
vague and ambiguous statute before a judge with personal bias 
against him.---Judge Durwood T. Pye 

Contact Legal Defense Fund attorneys Donald Hollowell 
end Howard Moore for further details. Both in Atlanta at 
JAckson 5-8372.
