At the conclusion of testimony
Tuesday, the State asked that the
court deny the Federal Govern-
ment's application for the tempor-
ary injunction, contending the court
had no jurisdiction and that thF
Government’s evidence had been in-
sufficient.
Judges R. L. Williams, F. E. ken-
namer and A. P. Murrah overruled
the motion and continued in force

til May 6 when the court said it
would present “its findings of fact.”
