ls STATES PROPOSE TO
 BAR COMMUNISTS FROM JOBS

Thirteen states are considering proposals to bar Communists from public jobs.
 Some measures now before legis- latures would require people on public payrolls, including teachers, to take loyalty oaths.
 Other bills are aimed at keeping Communists out of a wide range of positions.
 Maryland and Illinois are study ing suggestions for outlawing the Communist party.
 Moves are under way in other states 10 put a crimp in the party line in one way or another.
 Oaths of loyalty or allegiance to the United States would be requir- ed of public school teachers and college and university professors in Oaklahoma, Nebraska and New Hampshire. All public officials and candidates for public office would have to do likewise in California.
 In Texas, all state officials and employees, including those in the schools that get money from the state, would have to swear they never have been members of the Cohlmunist party or otherwise sub versive group.
 The meaning of the bills and the reasons they offered seem to be clear Assemblyman Frank J. Me Mullen (R-Brooklyn) sponsor of two of New Works bills, said:
 AS a nation we have taken a stand against Communism in our foreign affairs and have apprOpri- ated billions to fight 1t. At the same time We should bar these peo- pie who owe their allegiance to a foreign theology from holding posts in our state Or municipal govern menta"
