Quaker Her Job
In maryland
Two Others Facing
Dismissal for Refusal
To Sign Loyalty Pledge
BY the Associated Press

BALTIMORE, Mar. 15.-Mary-
lands Ober law, reinstated just
two days, has already cost one
person her job-a person State
officials concede has no leanings
toward subversion.
She is Miss Doris Shamleffer
a Quaker, who had been employed
in the State Department of En-
ployment and Registration for the
last five years.
Miss Shamleffer and two other
members of the Society of Friends
refused to sign the loyalty afi-
davits required of all public en-
ployes, including school teachers
Their stand originally was taken
soon after the law first became
effective last June. Nothing was
done in their cases at that time
however, as Judge Joseph Sher-
bow ruled in Baltimore Circuit
Court that the Ober Act was
unconstitutional.
Law Is "Self-Executing."
His ruling was reversed recently
by the Maryland Court Of Appeals
and the law was formally rein
stated Monday. 1t still faces 9
referendum in November and a
possible review by the United
States Supreme Court.
Miss Shamleffer said she was
informed yesterday her job would
be terminated today.
The other two Quakers who re-
fused to sign the loyalty affl-
davits are Miss Elizabeth Haas,
who works in Baltimore's Enoch
Pratt Free Library. and DR.. Mir
lam E. Bradley, director of the
Baltimore City Health Depart
ment's tuberculosis bureau.
Miss Haas had a day off yester-
day. She said she expected to
get the word of her dismissal
SulIleCllue To-Day.
DR.. Bradley is on a leave of alb
sence, and would not be directly
affected until she returned to
duty.
Attorney General Hall Ham
mond has explained the law is
"self-executing" and that dismis-
sal is automatic upon failure to
sign the affidavit. He said that
pay checks cannot be certified for
public employees who fail to sign.
Check Ordered.
The three members of the So
ciety of Friends, in announcing
last summer that they would not
sign the affidavits, said their de-
cision was based on principle.
At the same time they reiterated
their belief in the democratic
form of government.
DR.. Bradley said that the three
will hold a private meeting soon to
decide what, if any, formal action
they may take.
Meanwhile, State and Baltimore
City department heads were under
orders to make sure that all en-
ployes have signed the affidavits
County and town governments in
all sections of the State were ex-
pected to make the same check.
The Ober law also provides Sc
we're penalties for those who OPEN
ly advocate overthrow of the Gov
ernment by force or violence OF
who persist in remaining members
of subversive groups or organiza-
tions.
1t calls upon grand juries, when
directed, to make investigations
into subversive activities.
Any public employe may be fired
when reasonable grounds" are
established that he is subversive
person. He may appeal to the
courts.
However. the law provides nc
appeal for those discharged for
failure to sign the loyalty afi-
davits.
