Supreme Court has pointed out that persons who join an organization but do not share in its unlawful activities pose no threat either as citizens or as public employes; that a law which applies to membership without the specific intent to further the illegal aims of the organization infringes unnecessarily on protected freedoms and rests on the doctrine of guilt by association. a law cannot standJL, In a dissenting 43-page opirP ion, Justice Marshal McComb said, "In my opinion, the judiciary should not disregard the law as laid down by the citizens of California, directly or through their representatives in the state legislature." The U.S. Supreme Court in the past year overturned similar loyalty oaths required in Arizona, New Jersey, New York, and eight other states.

The California Supreme Court yesterday noted this new trend. "It is now well settled," said Justice Peters, "that, al-, though an i i i a 1 can claim no constitutional right to obtain public employment or receive any other publicly conferred benefit, the government may not condition public employment or receipt of such benefit upon any terms that it may choose to impose He added, "When the government seeks to require a limitation of constitutional rights as a condition of public employment, it bears the heavy burden of demonstrating the practical necessity for the limitation." i A.

Page 17 Continued from Page 1 Pat Fuller, who said the house was rented a few months ago. He declined to say who rented it. "This was the biggest LSD arrest in history the biggest one we've ever seen," Fuller said. He said the previous record raid took place the day before in New York, where agents picked up about $2 million worth of LSD. He did not say whetehr the two "busts" resulted from the same investigation.

Stanley, who was wearing a page-boy haircut, bushy mustache and fringed buckskin jacket when he was taken into custody, received a lot of publicity as the hippies "King of Acid" because of his LSD manufactory. His reputation as a maker of mind-altering drugs was so widespread that the LSD caps he sold were called simply "Owsleys." Before LSD was made illegal in April of 1966, Stanley was arrested at a makeshift laboratory in Berkeley and charged with making illegal methadrine pills. The charge was dropped when he was able to prove he was only making LSD. His equipment was returned to him. Agents said Stanley may have manufactured as many as 10 million LSD caps worth between $2 and $5 each during his heyday as a "legal" drug-maker.

Mayor Reading also noted that the city had other housing planned in addition to Acorn. The first 300 units of a planned 2,500 public housing units are ready to go less than 18 months after they were approved by the voters.

But Reading, like the other speakers, congratulated the Redevelopment Agency on the groundbreaking and on the whole the afternoon stressed the positive rather than emphasizing the delays. The ceremonies began with a prayer by the Rev. A. C. Dones of Beth Eden Baptist Church who noted that the project was an expression of confidence in West Oakland.

"We thank thee, dear God, that there is a better day coming for this city," he said. "We thank Thee for those who graciously gave up their homes for this project. Grant that it was not in vain." Redevelopment chairman Arthur Hellender referred to the "thousands of frustrating delays and the nagging question when will Acorn be built," He said the day had come when the agency finally could answer the question and "restore the image of Oakland as a can-do city and the image of the Redevelopment Agency as a can-do agency." To assist in this restoration the Redevelopment Agency lined up a band called the Music Scouts of America which played "When the Saints Go Marching In" several times, painted some shovels gold and saw to it that balloons were released at what one speaker referred to as the "historic moment."
