California Court
Opens Ballot To
Communist Pdrty
Unanimous Decision BY Su-
prerne Court Holds Legis-
Lotion Discriminatory

San Francisco ULNS). - Noting a
lack of proof that the Communist party
advocates the overthrow of the gov
preine Court of California recently de-
clared unconstitutional state law bar
ring the Communists party from the
ballot. A unanimous decision written by
Chief Justice Phil Gibson held that
the legislation is discriminatory.
The decision was the result of a
test case supported by the American
Civil Liberties Union to require the
California Secretary of State, to quail
ify the names of the Communist candi-
dates for the August % primary.
A brief filed before the Superior
Court by Attorney A. l.. Wirin as a
friend OF the court on behalf Of the
A. c. l.. L. held that the law which
bars any party advocating overthrow
of the government by force and viO-
lence or any party with international
affiliations" is unconstitutional in it,
self.
Inc nlSh court dld NOT decide
whether the law was invalid in that
respect. but only insofar as 1t named
the Communist party as Il group that
advocates the overthrow of the gov
ernment.
Commencing the decision of the
court, the American Civil Liberties
Union said: "It is clear that the
statute was discriminatory and un-
cOnstitutiOnally restricted the right of
minority parties to place on the bal
lot Furthermore, if political parties
may be ruled off the ballot for ad-
v0cacy of the overthrow of the govern
ment, such facts must be in evidence
and proved, which was not the. case
here"

Union Demands
New Agreement
Living Conditions And Food

tiOnS for the unificatiOn of the Greek
seafarerS' movement and a new collec-
tive agreement between the Greek gov
ernment in exile. the Greek Seamea
and ship-owners are now under way in
London. ii was announced by the
American office of the International
Transport Workers Federation.
Though Greek maritime labor is at
present not affiliated with the I.T.F..
the unity negotiations between the
Greek Seamen'S Union in Great Bri-
tain and the Greek Maritime Union in
the United States are conducted under
the auspices of the federation. The
Greek Maritime Union was organized
in New York late in 1871 and has
branches in Buenos Aires and Dur
ham, South Africa.
Among the union demands for the
new collective agreement are a 40 per
cent increase of basic wage and war
bonus which now totals about $40 per
month, proper safety measures. over
time pay and improvement of living
conditions aboard ship.
ITF. officials pointed out that living
conditions and food supplies aboard
Greek ships are unbea rable and border
in some instances on near starvation.
Other substantiated complaints are un-
sanitary living quarters, the withhold
ing of one months wages by the ship
owners without consent of the men, and
overwOrk.
In a sharply wOrded protest against
conditions and the treatment of sea-
men aboard Greek ships, tthe Greek
union placed responsibility sQuarely
upon the Greek authorities who have
blandly refused to cooperate with the
men and their representatives in an
effort to stamp out abuses
THE refusal of the Greek authOri-
ties and the Ship-ownerS to deal with
the just complaints of the men, yes to
even meet with us in conference, leaves
us no other alternative but to appeal
to American public opinion for help
in matters which are of fundamental
