Broyles bills seek to criminalize communism in Illinois
The Illinois Senate approved two antisubversive bills moving to the House. The first would cut tax funds for public employees who refuse oaths to join subversive groups, while the second would outlaw the Communist party as a conspiracy with up to 20 years in prison and a 20,000 dollar fine for members. A third measure would impose five years and a 5,000 dollar fine for knowingly joining about 260 listed subversive organizations. Republican Sen. Paul Broyles led the push, arguing the oath screens loyalty. opponents warned it tramples rights. Most Republicans backed the bills, with some Democratic crossover, while Sen. Lottie Holman O’Neill criticized they did not go far enough.
