...Harris-Fulbright amendment to the 1938 Natural Gas Law would, in effect, exempt producers of natural gas from government regulation. Under existing legislation, the Federal Power Commission has regulated gas production at the wellhead, with the "primary aim of preventing exploitation of consumers."

Representatives of the Tennessee Society to Maintain Segregation Inc., the Associated Citizens' Councils of Tennessee, and Pro-Southerners Inc., the demonstrators came to persuade Governor Frank Clement (TIME, Jan. 30) that Tennessee should declare the Supreme Court decision "null and void."
