Court case tests Maryland antisubversive law on ballot access
In Washington on Oct 19 a Progressive Party candidate for Maryland governor, not signing the loyalty affidavit, asks the Supreme Court to strike down the antisubversive act that barred him from the ballot. The Maryland Court of Appeals, in a 3-2 decision, ruled he is ineligible for not signing while Congress candidates need not sign. The attorney general plans to appeal. The 1949 act, known as the Other Law, was passed without dissent and would penalize coercive activities and create a special assistant attorney general to enforce it as opponents push a referendum.
