McHENRY PLAINDEXleB^ R*pNteontativ$ Makes Report *#•- Rrpmcibiibi •Kfcert McClmrjr' greatest debate" In the iTth Illinois General Assembly OUrer the various anti-subversive bQls. These bills have presented the opportunity for members to display their forensic abilities in ttfc grand style of long ago. . .In the House of Representatives gXHese measures are known as the VtlcClintock bills. They were introduced at the request of the American Legion, and are sponsored by Rep. Harry W. McClintock of West Frankfort and nineteen • other House members, inv eluding Rep. Pearson of this District. \ The series of four bills are in- " • tenjied to expose and suppress communistic and other subversive , Activities hi our state. Most of the opposition to the bills is not aimed it the objects to be accomplished., but many sincere and Well meaning members question the means by wh^lch these objects are to be achieved. ; The least controversial bills in tie series are House Bills 92 and 98. House Bill 92 provides that ^teachers should take the same %lth wh|ch U'^ftow required of most public officials. It is not a non-communist oath, but merely an oath to uphold the constitution „ of the United States and of the State of Illinois. The writer has heard of no objections to this bill from any person who was aware of its provisions. • House Bill 98 authorizes local •Ohool boards to dismiss a school ftMacher for "advocating" in his teaching any doctrine to undermine the form of government of this state or of the United States hy force and violence. An appeal to the courts is .permitted by an amendment. The bill does not re- ,, strict the Reaching of any subversive doctrine, but is aimed only at those who would "advocate" the destruction of our American system by forte. The only obfPjection which has come to the writer's attention is that the bill ip unnecessary for the reason that such teaching constitutes Misconduct and is already covered % the statute. vi House Bill 93 provides that the state Superintendent of Public Instruction shall employ an evaluating committee to review all text books in social service courses in the public schools. Books certi- ^f|ed to be incompatible with the principles of the American constitutional form of government %rould be disapproved, and could 'not be used in the classroom.. Supporters of this bill have referred to numerous examples of text books in use at present which they say are inimical to our state and country. Opponents to this measure ob- ,<% ject to /the centralised authority Otis bill would vest in the state - superintendent's office, and charge , that, if enacted, this would amount to "thought control." Itdase Bill 96 is the crui of the anti-subversive program. This bill would authorise the creation of a commission of ten members of the House and Senate to investigate activities of any person directed toward the overthrow of the government of the United States or lg | of the State of Illinois. A report of the findings of this commission would be made to the next General Assembly. The bill appropriates $20,000 for thesfe investigations. ' ' ^ Proponents of this bill nrge that the way to destroy communism is to expose it to public new and public opinion, that left alone it will grow in subtle and devious ways, and that many misguided or misinformed persons will become dtlpes to insidious communistic schemes and' activities. Opponents to the bill fear that if innocent individuals are summoned as witnesses to the hearings of such a commission, their reputations may be harmed. It is argued that witnesses before the commission would . be deprived of their constitutional rights against self-incrimination and trial by jury.^t is« aksa stated that if any person suspects another of being a communist, the police or F.B.I, should be notified, and not the members ^of such a commission. i recent House debate upon H.B. 1>6, one representative in opposing the bill declared that if a person was guilty of treasonable activity he should be tried for treason and sentenced to death. Then to the delight of the assemblage, he added, "And if there is anything worse than death i'd like to know what it is." In this "great debate" the flag is waved by proponents and opponents alike. It is charged on the one hand that if such legislation is not enacted, the enemies from within will destroy us. It is argued conversely that the bills violate basic principles of our American system. With communism recognised as our nation's greatest enemy it is almost certain that some antic o m m u n i s t l e g i s l a t i o n w i l l be passed by the 67th General Assembly. It is to be hoped that the power granted by the laws enacted win be exercised judiciously. St Patrick*! Catholic Chareh Rev. Edward C. Coakley, Pastor i .
