Legislation Designed to
Combat Communism
introduced In State

Legislation designed to combat
Communism in Maryland, prescribing
severe penalties for any individual
or organization found guilty of adj
vocating the overthrow of the govern
ment of the State or Of the United
States by force or violence. was in
troduced into the Legislature last
week The bill, presented stimuli
taneously in the Senate and House of
Delegates, followed exactly recon-
mendations submitted to Governor
W. Preston Lane, Jr., by the Commits
sion on subversive Activities, headed
by Frank B. Ober. Baltimore attorney,
after an exhaustive study of subver-
sive problems as they exist in Mary
land.
The statute which is proposed in
its report is designed to implement
the constitutional amendment which
was passed at the November 2nd
election, an amendment which pro-
hibits the employment by any polti-
cal division of the State of any per-
son belonging to an organization
favoring the overthrow of the exist
ing government by force or violence
The proposed statute is in two sec
tions: Section No. 1 would make
sedition a felony with penalties
ranging up to fines of $4,000 or 20
years Imprisonment or both for any
one found guilty of violating the law
under the section and, No. 2 which
provides for loyalty tests for present
or future state, city or county en-
ployes (above the rank of laborer)
and for candidates for political of
flee.
Under Section No. of the law in
dividuals would be subject to the
penalties if they were found guilty of
Committing or attempting to COM
NIT or aiding in any act intended to
overthrow the State or Federal
government by force or violence; adj
vocating or influencing any indi-
vidual to commit an act; conspiring
towards such an end; helping to form,
participating in the management of
or contributing to the support of any
subversive organization. Knowing it
to be subversive; destroying the
hooks racOrJc or GIo. eooro+;,,o, o,,,-
funds of any subversive organization.
Under Section Two, the loyalty
! section, all public office holders whose
duties include the employment or APP
pOintment of state employees are
directed to make certain that pros
pective employees are not engaged in
subversive activities. This includes
applicants for teaching positions. The
law would require applicants to sign
statements to such effect, with mis-
statement subject to the penalties for
| perjury. 1t further requires all en-
ployes on public payrolls as of June
/, 1910 to sign similar statements.
with the same perjury provisions.
Reasonable grounds to suspect that
any such employee is actually support
/ ing subversive activities shall be suf-
| ticient for Dismissal, but the statute
provides that the case be taken
| through the normal channels govern
ing the dismissal of public employees.

give a total of 1924 classrooms
in the white elementary schools
He recommended building 800
colored classrooms and abandon
ing ITO. This increase of 220
would give a total of 913 class
rooms in the colored schools. The
load will still be a little heavier
in the colored schools, he said.
But we do not know If the
present distribution of population
will persist. 1t may be that more
colored children will be in school
in 10 years. We will have to
transfer buildings"
Speaking of elementary educa-
ton. Mr. Strayer said the ideals
Of the schools are good but re-
suits variable.
The problem is in the teach
'erS and in their supervisors. He
recommended that the supervis-
ing staff should give more atten-
tion to the schools, where he said
fundamentals were neglected.
The high schools were reported
to be in a favorable condition
except for the libraries. Nc
school library is meeting the
standards set by the American
Library Association. DR.. Strayer
stated. This is a problem for
the School Board. since money is
involved. he said.
Vocational education training
here has made good progress. he
said, particularly in the appren-
tice training program.
Adult Education.
The school guidance program
has made a good beginning" but
needs more staff because more
guidance Is indicated in the
schools, DR.. Strayer continued.
He recommended a better system
of cumulative pupil personnel
records" be built up SO that a
teacher getting a child for the
first time could look at the record
and know the child.
Physical education should be
expanded. he recommended The
present School Board method of
building auditorium gymnasiums
should be reversed so that a
tip top" gym is constructed which
could be used for an auditorium
instead Of the other way around.
Locker and shower rooms, as 9
rule, were below standard.
The High School Cadet Corps
is matter of policy for the Board
of Education" DR.. Strayer stated.
But don't fool yourself. 1t is not
physical education. The board
should say they want cadets be-
cause they want military drill"
Adult education needs plenty of
publicity and much development.
he said. There Is no city with
greater possibilities for a good
adult program" he added.
