High Court to Rule On Loyalty Program
The Supreme Court agreed to decide the constitutionality of President Truman's loyalty program aimed at removing disloyal gov ernment workers. The Joint Anti Fascist Refugee Committee of New York challenges the program's broad power to define orthodoxy in thought, speech, and association, contending it violates constitutional rights. The case concerns about 2,000,000 executive branch employees and lists of subversive organizations labeled by the attorney general. The court also left intact a related union case ruling and declined to hear a father’s custody dispute involving Roman Catholic institutions in New York.
