Laundered -
Loyalty Oath Aimed
Against 'Subversion'
By Nancy Henrickson
Senior Staff writer
All persons in Nebraska'
who are paid by public
funds, including teachers,
secretaries and janitors,
are required by law to sign
the Nebraska loyalty oath.
The constitutionality of
Nebraska's loyalty oath has
been challenged by Mrs.
George Spangler, a former
University employee.
In a preliminary hearing
before the State District
Court Nov. 16, Mrs. Spang
ler contended that the oath
is unconstitutionally vague
and indefinite.
She also alleged that the
oath violates the freedoms
of speech, expression and
association and that the
oath may compel self-incrimination.
Patrick W Healey, Mrs.
Spangler's attorney, said
that the American C I v 1 1
Liberties Union and the Ne
braska Civil Liberties Un
ion are sponsoring her case.
According to James A.
Lake, University professor
of contitutional law, t h e
oath applies to all persons
paid by public funds, with
the exception of executive
and judicial officers and
members of the Legislature
who are required to take
another oath.
Inside the University, pre
sumably, the oath applies
to all persons, including the
chancellor, teachers, secre
taries and gardeners, he
said.
The oath law was intend
ed to cover people who are
paid from state tax funds,
Lake said.
Employees at the Univer
sity are paid under several
fund programs, such as fed
eral grants, students fees
and gifts to the University,
he said.
The hearing on the con
stitutionality of the loyalty
oath will require the court
to decide what paid from
public funds means. Lake
said.
When the loyalty oath law
was passed by the Legisla
ture in 1951, it was designed
to keep out of employment
in schools and government
what the Legislature
deemed harmful or danger
ous to democratic govern
ment, Lake said.
The loyalty oath was an
outgrowth of the post World
c Each
War II allegations of Sena
tor McCarthy and investiga
tions of subversion in the
State Department, he said.
The federal Legislature
passed the Smith Act,
which was aimed at subver
sion, outlawed the Commu
nist Party and made it a
crime to belong to the Com
munist Party, he continued.
Many states passed loy
alty oaths during this time,
Lake said.
The US. Supreme Court
has declared the loyalty
oaths of two states, Wash
ington and Arizona, uncon
stitutional on the grounds
that the oaths are vague
and indefinite and that the
oaths contain language
which is not clear and
leaves the public employee
in doubt as. to what he can
and cannot do.
A physics teacher at the
University of Colorado has
filed a suit to test the con
stitutionality of the loyalty
oath in Colorado.
He contends that the state
law requiring teachers to
sign the oath violates their
rights guaranteed by t h e
U.S. Constitution.
The Nebraska loyalty
oath, which must be signed
by all teachers and all oth
er employees paid from
public school funds, states:
"I do solemnly swear that
I will support and defend
the Constitution of the
United States and the Con
stitution of the State of Ne
braska, against all enemies,
foreign and domestic; that
I will bear true faith and
allegiance th the same;
that I take this obligation
freely, without any mental
reservation or for purpose
of evasion; and that I will
faithfully and impartially
perform the duties of the
office according to law, and
to the best of my ability.
"And I do further swear
that I do not advocate, nor
am I a member of any po
licial party or organization
that advocates the over
throw of the government of
the United States or of this
state by force or violence;
and that during such time
as I am in this position I
will not advocate nor be
come a member of any po
litical party or organization
that advocates the over
throw of the government of
the United States or of this
state by force or violence.
So help me God."

Who says so?
Lots of people do. Some right on your
campus. And for rationale, they point an
accusing finger at business and say it lacks
"social commitment."
Social commitment? We wish they could
visit our Kearny, N. J. plant, where we
make cable and apparatus for your Bell
telephone company. But we have time for
other thoughts, other talents.
Like the situation in nearby Newark.
With civic and business leaders, we be
gan buzzing with ideas. "Let'i teach higher
skills to some of the un-employed and
under-employed. Say, machine shop prac
tice. They could qualify for job that are
going begging and help themselves as
well."
We lent our tocl-and-die shop, eve
nings. We found volunteer instructors. A
community group screened applicants.
Another supplied hand tools. The Boys

New people at better jobs. Happier.
And this is only one of dozens of social

making communications equipment for the
Bell System.
So, you don't give up ideals when you
graduate. If anything, at a company like,
