"Something will be filed," Marshall, the NAACP chief counsel said. "But we don't believe in rushing things. Let the other side do the rushing."

A state court order in Montgomery, Ala. imposed a temporary injunction Friday, barring the NAACP from operating in Alabama.

Marshall said lawyers here and in Montgomery were studying the matter to determine what steps to take, but that the injunction would be challenged in court.

"It's just a question of technical procedures," he said. "In a unilateral deal of this kind, where one side is not notified in advance, it takes a little time to go into a situation."

He said the NAACP had been in communication with Alabama state authorities, to provide requested information and papers, when the injunction came without any notice.

"But we're determined not to get mad or angry," he said. "We'll just go along .. They can't provoke us. They can't slow anything down. We'll just keep moving along."

In obtaining the injunction, Alabama Atty. Gen. John Patterson charged the NAACP with helping to organize and support the Montgomery bus boycott, and employing a Negro girl, Autherine Lucy Foster, to seek enrollment at the University of Alabama.

The NAACP says it did not organize the boycott, but did later applaud it, and did not employ the Foster woman to seek enrollment.
