The Dixon Evening Dixon, Illinois Page 6 Monday, February 9, 1953 State Again Gets Anti-Red Bills Senator Broyles to Introduce Measures in Assembly This Week SPRINGFIELD, 111. Senator Paul Brovles of Mt. Vernon nounced today he will introduce. two anti-communism bills in tne Illinois Legislature this week. main bill would outlaw the -Communist party in the state and Scarry top penalties up to 20 years -in prison ana nne against persons convicted a wide range "of subversive acts.

It is virtually the same measure -that passed the Legislature in '1951 and then was vetoed Dy ior- mer Gov. Adlai E. Stevenson on the grounds it endangered the lib erties of citizens. The second bill calls for setting a 15 member commission to in vestigate Communist activities and to ine uenerai "I can't possibly conceive of any one who would oppose these bills except the Communist conspirators, their fellow travelers, pinks, the uninformed, the misinformed -and, of course, the die-hard groups," the Mt. Vernon Republican told newsmen.

He said Gov. William G. Stratton has informed him that he would be in sympathy with legislation that "would be effective against the Communist conspiracy in the state. However, Broyles added, the bills have not been shown to Stratton and the governor has not specifically endorsed either of them. The proposed legislation provides the stiffest punishment against persons attempting to overthrow the state or federal government by force or other unlawful means.

Anyone advocating or teaching the commission of such acts or de stroying or hiding records and funds of a subversive organization also would be subject to the top penalties. Penalties up to five years in prison and a $5,000 fine would be met ed out for knowingly joining or re maining a member of a subversive group after Jan. 1, 1954. Loyalty affidavits would be re quired from public employes. They could be discharged if evidence gave "reasonable grounds" to believe they were subversive persons.

Any person convicted as a subversive would be barred from holding any elective or appointive public office and from voting in any election. Enforcement would be vested chiefly in a special assistant attorney general who would supply state's attorneys with information and evidence for prosecuting suspected subversive persons. Both bills, Broyles said, were Charge Filed (Continued from page 1) time of the evening, made a pur chase of a handy-pack of six cans of beer, and left immediately. "This presents a case much dif ferent from the sale to considerably younger people who sit around a tavern drinking, obviously nii- rs, and not entitled to be served. 'Nevertheless, this is a violation of the law.

The court having found the defendant guilty of sell ing alcoholic liquor to a minor, and it being a first offense, may fine the defendant not less than $50 nor more than $500. Agrees With Sullivan "If, in the judgment of the court, a fine of $200 and costs is fair, considering all the facts, I will not object to the suggestion of the de fendant counsel." The two testifying witnesses, Blackburn and Noble, were among several minors involved in an ac cident on Rt. 26, near Dixon, on Oct. 18, in which two minors were killed. Blackburn was with others in a car driven by Noble which collided with one operated by Donald Pieper, causing the death of Pieper and of Miss Louis Knuth, 18, Amboy, who was in Noble's vehicle.

At a coroner's inquest, it wa testified that Blackburn, Noble, and others in Noble's car consumed the beer in the handy-six carton sold by Dempsey to Blackburn.

-Adv. Bar Press FromN. Y. Vice Trial Interest of Public Decency at Stake, Claims Trial Judge NEW YORK A judge today ordered the press and public barred from hearing prosecution evidence in the cafe society vice trial of playboy Minot F. Jelke III.

General Sessions Judge Francis L. Valente said he took the action in the interest of "public decency." Any other decision, he said, "could serve no constructive purpose and may be a positive dis service to youth." Although Jelke, 23-year-old heir to oleomargarine millions, is entitled to a public trial, the judge said, that right "does not include the gratification of the morbid curiosity of the public." Jelke's attorney has strongly protested the move for a news blackout in the case. So had attorneys for New York City newspapers. They called it censorship. The judge's ruling meant that all prosecution testimony would be heard behind closed doors, with re porters and spectators excluded.

The judge said publicity on the case "has now skyrocketed" around the world, making headlines on par with the State of the Union address by President Dwight Eisenhower. "It is the opinion of this court," he said, "that such extensive press coverage to a case of this kind is catering to vulgar sensationalism, if not actual depravity." He said the plea of the attorney for Pat Word, 19-ycar-old red haired call girl billed as a star state witness, that she be allowed to testify in private had helped "crystallize my "For weeks," the judge said, "I have watched with growing uneasiness the mushrooming public anticipation of lurid and salacious de tails.
