ANNAPOLIS. Mar. 8.-The way

Court decision on Maryland's anti
subversive Ober law.
The Maryland Court OF Appeals,

act Of the General Assembly con-
stitutional, yesterday issued an
order allowing an appeal from its
opinion.
Mitchell A. Dubow. attorney fer
a citizens committee which orig
inally brought suit against the
law, received the order from Chief
Judge Ogle Marbury.

appeal has been made by the
States Communist Party, which

activity, requires loyalty checks Of
public employees and sets up a spe-
cial assistant attorney general to
enforce its provisions.
The case went to the Court of
Appeals after Baltimore Judge

Arlington Federation
Postpones Stand on
District Home Rule

BY a close vote, the Arlington
Civic Federation last night avoided
taking a stand on home rule for
the District Of Columbia.
The vote followed talk by Ger
hard Van Arkel, general counsel
for the Senate District Committee,
who appeared under sponsorship
of the federation's Local Govern
ment Committee.
Committee Chairman Harley M.
Williams offered a resolution which
would have placed the federation
on record as indorsing home rule
for the District. His proposal also
petitioned Representative Smith,
Democrat. of Virginia, to support
home rule legislation.
Matter Is Postponed.
The federation actually did not
vote on the question. however. In
stead. it acted on a resolution
postponing consideration of the
matter until the next regular
meeting. The substitute motion
was offered by Ernest T. Gear
heart. jr.. and was adopted by a
vote of 1886.
The Williams resolution declared
that home rule for the District
would be distinct advantage in
achieving better local government
in Arlington" Home rule also
would relieve members of Congress
from the duties Of governing
Washington and allow them to
concentrate on national affairs
and other subjects, the resolution
asserted.
Budget to Be Considered.
In addition. according to the
resolution, home rule for the Dis
trict is in harmony with the Amer
lean philosophy of the right of
citizens to govern themselves.
The federation adopted three
recommendations of it's Recrea-
ton Committee. They included
standards for selection of recrea-
ton and park areas, county pur-
chase of so additional acres to ex-
pand Glencarlyn Lubber Run
Parks, and State acquisition of the
Bancroft Reservoir for recreation
or park area.
In other actions, the federation
agreed to hold a special meeting
at the Lyon Village Community
House at 8 pm, March %, to con-
slider the proposed county budget
for next year: and voted to tele-
graph the House Privileges and
Elections Committee of the Vir-
ginia General Assembly to take
