A companion measure to the Devany “isms” bill in the Assembly was introduced in the Senate today by Senator Spencer Feld, Manhattan Democrat. The bill would bar from civil service and teaching posts anyone advocating the overthrow of the Government. Action in the Assembly was deferred to Monday because of the bill’s controversial nature. Some legislators have not yet returned from their Easter holiday.
Meanwhile, the Senate Codes Committee reported favorably John J. MacNaboe’s “anti-Nazi” bill which would make it a felony for two or more persons to seek orally or in writing to deprive others of their constitutional rights.
