public workers in the state, in
cluding school teachers and elect
ed officials, is in position in the
House for a final vote this week.
It has already been approved by
the Senate.
Backed by Vets
A House Republican leader said
meanwhile that the bill probably
would be .mended again before
it is brought to a vote.
The bill is backed by state vet
erans organizations and has the
support of Gov. John S. Fine. It
is strongly opposed by various
college organizations, civil rights
groups and the state AFL and
CIO.
A delegation of professors rep
resenting 15 Pennsylvania col
leges and universities visited the
governor today to urge him to
veto the bill if it clears the House.
Details of Charges
Fine told the group howeVer
that he is in favor of the bill and
intends to sign it if it reaches his
desk.
One amendment scheduled to
be inserted in the measure would
require that appointing authori
ties inform persons charged with
subversion of all details of the
charges. The bill presently leaves
to the discretion of the appointing
authority whether it shall make
known the charges fully.
Another amendment would
broaden hearings into dismissal
of pers9ns charged with disloyalty
by permitting examination and
cross examination of the accused
and the accuser.
