Alabama Segregationists Indicted

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

BIRMINGHAM, Sept. 22--Eight white men including a high ranking official of the militantly segregationist National States Rights party were indicted today by a special Federal grand jury investigating alleged interference with school desegregation court orders.

As the defendants were arrested U.S. Dist. Judge Clarence W. Allgood decried "attempts to influence and intimidate" the grand jurors and court.

Named in the indictments were: Edward R. Fields, 30, information director and leader of the National States Rights party; Gerald Q. Dutton, 25; Jesse B. Stoner, party attorney; James K. Warner; David A. Stanley; Barney M. Carmack, Jr.; Jack Cash and Ralph Lewandowski.

Fields, Dutton, Carmack, Cash and Lewandowski were arraigned and placed under $2,500 bond. U.S. Atty, Macon L. Weaver said Warner and Stoner planned to turn themselves in Wednesday. Stanley was reported in Canada.

The indictments stemmed from incidents which occurred when three Birmingham schools were desegregated beginning Sept. 4. Pickets appeared at West End High School, Ramsay High School and Graymont Elementary School.
