June 30, 1958 Enforcement Of California Law Requiring Loyalty Oaths Barred By High Court WASHINGTON (AC) The Su preme Court barred Monday the enforcement of a California law requiring non-Communist oaths to obtain tax exemptions. The court said California's pres ent procedure violates the due process clause of the 14th Amend ment by placing the burden of proof upon taxpayers. The effect is to let the law stand, but to bar its enforcement unless California changes its procedures to put on the state the burden of showing disqualification for tax exemption. 1 The court's vote was 7-1. Justice Brennan delivered two majority opinions, and Justice Clark wrote; two dissents. Chief Justice Vtar-j ren disqualified himself from the cases.

Organized racketeers, operat ing behind respectable fronts, in filtrate and make collusive labor contract deals with labor unions, thus gaining unfair advantage over legitimate competitors. 2.

Pearson (D Portland) proposed a sales tax for education. He no longer believes in that. Pearson, chairman of the legis lative interim committee studying the state's tax structure, said Sat urday he thinks now that if a sales tax were adopted as a form of property relief, all of the money should be returned to the counties to give direct reduction in property taxes. His original proposal, made last year at a committee meeting in Eugene, would give schools too much money, he said in explain ing his changed position. He said "school people had to think up new ways to spend money", in consid ering what they would do with sales tax receipts. He said he agrees that some thing must be done to get more money for schools as costs of edu cation mount. But the best way may be direct county property tax relief, he said. i He added that if this were done through turning sales tax monev back to counties, it would be necessary to impose a limitation on either millage or assessments "so that property taxes . . . would not bounce back up again.
