Supreme Court Test
Seen on Los Angeles
Loyalty Program

the loyalty program OF Los
Angeles County in California, in
which 10000 employees are required
TO swear that they are not men,
bers Of the Communist party or
other subversive groups, appears
headed for q Supreme Court test.
The program parallels the Federal
Government loyalty test.
Harold w. Kennedy, county
counsel Of Los Angeles County, told
the National Institute Of Municipal
Law Officers, which now Is holding
its annual meeting at the May
flower Hotel. that a test in the
Supreme Court appears likely.
The institute was to conclude it's
three-day session today with elec-
iton of officers and the adoption
Of resolutions.
State High Court to Rule.
Mr.. Kennedy said his county's
loyalty program has been sustained
by the California Court of Appeals
and is ready to be considered by
the California Supreme Court. If
opponents Of the legislation lose
there, they have advised him they
will carry the fight to the Supreme
Court here, he declared.
Il hope the Supreme Court Of
California and the Supreme Court
here will grant a unit of govern
ment the legal right to do the
necessary things to protect the
safety of our people," he said.
Mr.. Kennedy explained the coun-
ty requires its employees to take an
oath upholding the Federal and
California constitutions; swear that
they, while county employees, would
not advocate the overthrow of the
government by force; take an oath
they never used an alias except as
set forth in accompanying affidavits
and deny they ever belonged or
contributed to the IA organiza-
tions, among them the Communist
Party, listed by the California
Committee on Un-American Ac-
tivities as subversive.
He said the California Appeals
Court accepted the theory that
governmental unit has the same
right to conduct a fact-inding in
quiry about its employees as does
private employer.
Justice Burton Speaks.
Justice Burton told a luncheon
meeting of the institute that the
Federal Supreme Court enables
democracy to move forward with
out revolution. He paid tribute to
the value of municipal government
as a training ground for wider
service.
Commissioner Leland Olds of the
Federal Power Commission told the
institute that public utility inter-
ests are planning to use thermal
unit" measurement to increase the
cost of heating homes. He said it
is necessary to have effective regu-
lation of public utilities to preserve
democracy, but warned of the
"high mortality rate" for effective
public utility commissioners who
regulate them well because they
are quickly removed from Office.
The institute also heard discus
sions on airport problems, home
rule for cities, more compensation
for city attorneys and was told by
speakers that telephone companies
are preparing to ask for higher
rates.

port. Although non-Jew he was
permitted to join Histadruth, the
Jewish Federation of Labor.
He amassed sufficient funds in
the copper mines of Rhodesia to
buy $4,000 acre plantation in the
Belgium Congo. He subsequently
