S. Supreme Court act* from a special panel of three Federal judges. The judges ruled last June that city and state segregation laws in transportation were unconsftitu tutional. The action was brought by several Montgomery Negroes after the boycott reaches a stale mate. The three-judge ruling was ap pe;led to the Supreme Court by attorneys for Alabama. Three city commissioner*, in cluding the Mayor of Montgomery joined White Citizens Councils shortly after the boycott began.
