PAGE EIGHT Loyalty Oath (Continued from page one) the implications and intrusions on academic freedom that this bill might mean if ever passed into law, he said. Seyler, who is a teacher, said he opposed the Pechan bill in principle on the grounds that it would be a serious blow to aca demic freedom. He said the overwhelming ma jority in the Senate (42-7) seemed to reflect the fear that was be ing spread by many well-mean ing people in their efforts to check what they consider sub versive activities. Hearings Not Public ‘ This was indicated, he ex plained, by the fact that, although the bill was kept from a public hearing in the Senate state gov ernment committee ■by a 29-20 vote, still only seven opposed the bill in the final vote. . Rep. Stimmel said the House state government committee had no meeting scheduled for this week. He said he thought the bill had a good chance of passing in the House. The recent California de cision would have little effect in Pennsylvania, because that deci sion was based merely on the legality of the bill and not the principle, he added. He said he had received no more than 20 letters protesting the loyalty oath. However, the American Legion has sent a res olution to the House recommend ing passage of the bill, he said. Opposes Public Hearing Stimmel said he opposed a pub lic hearing for the bill because, in his opinion, it isn’t necessary. He said that public hearings usu ally bring only those who strongly oppose a measure. Stimmel said he saw nothing wrong with the bill in principle. The only opposition. he could see to the loyalty oath was its pos sible future impact. He said it might be used “as a hammer to stifle freedom of thought.” He said he believed state em ployes should be the first to de clare their loyalty because they are in the public trust and are spending the taxpayers’ money.

Explains Vole Asked why he voted for the bill, Walker said that in the present political situation he did not want to have his vote record ed against the measure. “If there is anything wrong with our colleges,” Walker said, “let the trustees work it out. No legislature should go snooping around the colleges. We have good trustees and a good,presi dent at Penn State; let them han dle it.” Pechan contended that the pur pose of the oath was to reaffirm “love and loyalty to the state and to the country.” He acknowledged that many subversives would not hesitate taking the oath, but those that did sign could be prosecuted on perjury charges. Hits People's Lobby Pointing to representatives of the People’s Lobby of Pennsyl vania, Pechan said, “They are the ones who are afraid to take ,thg oath.” Questioned about the heavy protest coming to legislators on the bill, Pechan replied that those who objected to the oath object ed because they are subversives and pinks.” Included among those who have voiced opposition to the bill are Charles Arensburg, president of GoU*ty LUCKIES TASTE BETTER THAN ANY OTHER CIGARETTE !

Going After Pechan said that an effort to take some of the ’’bugs” out of the bill was now under way. Some doubt has been raised whether the bill is constitutional. Saying that his colleagues had given in to political considera tions in approving the bill, Lead er accused them of “playing a type of practical politics that is obnoxious to me.” Leader stressed that he was not opposed to ferreting out subver sives, but that he • did not be lieve that such a loyalty oath could do the job. “We have to pinpoint our attacks on subver sives,” he said, “not him them with shotgun , blasts that will hit a lot of innocent bystanders.” Emphasises Religion Leader emphasized that Friends and Quakers, who could not con scientiously take the oath, would be made innocent victims. “Our ancestors came here to hold par ticular and peculiar' religious be liefs.
