Supreme Court limits Fifth Amendment discharge ruling
The Supreme Court in a 5-4 decision rules that invoking the Fifth Amendment before a congressional committee is not by itself grounds for dismissal. It faulted New York City for firing Dr. Harry Slochower of Brooklyn College solely for declining to answer questions about 1940s Communist membership. Justice Clark wrote that due process was violated and the city cannot equate self incrimination with guilt or perjury. Justices Harlan and Reed dissented.
