New York, Tuesday.
The case against two women doctors and three nurses, who were arrested in the much-discussed raid by women police on April 15th on the Birth Control Research Clinical Bureau here, has been dismissed. The charge against them was "illegal dissemination of birth control information," and the evidence was obtained by a policewoman, who posed as the wife of a truck driver.
The magistrate held that the police had not proved that the advice given to the woman was not necessary to her health. The law permits doctors and nurses to give advice on birth control where health considerations were concerned.
Note - Mrs Mary Sullivan, the director of the Women's Bureau of the New York Police Department, was removed from her post a few days ago as the result of the many protests against the methods of the women police on the occasion of the above-mentioned raid.
