Construction of the new

The plant will incorporate
the latest piston manufacturing

tiffs on the key issues of the
lack of control of informant
Dawson and of th lack of
equal protection afforded to the
marchers. "The fmding against
police who acted in complicity
with Klansmen and azis will
send a signal to people across
the country that police 0 fficials
can and should b made
accountable for their actions.
It has shown that people should
monitor their police agencies
and that they do not have to
tolerate irresponsible law en­
forcement. "
Dr. Marty athan, widow of
Dr. Michael athan, called the
decision "a vindication of the
wrong that was done." She
further noted: 'At a time
when the Reagan administration
is sytematically dismantling the
civil rights enforcement appara­
tus, and when racist violence
is on the rise, thousands of
people cross the country came
forward with their support for
this suit. Their help and the
decision handed down by this
jury, shows that, even if the
Reagan administration has turn­
ed its back on civil rights, the
people of this country have
not."
