Clark, who has given other loyalty decisions for the court. Justices Felix Frankfurter. William O. Douglas and 'Hugo L. Black concurred separately. Justice Robert H. Jackson did not take part. The court has examined other federal, and state loyalty oaths but has always upheld them until now. Under Oklahoma law, th® signer swears he is not a Communist party member and has not within five yeats been a member of any organization termed subversive by the U. S. attorney general or “other authorized public agency of the U. S.” He also swears to take up arms in defense of the nation if necessary. . ’ U Clark’s opinion said: . * “Under the statute before us, the face of membership alone disqualifies . . . but \membership may be innocent. A state servant may have joined a prescribed organization unaware of its activities and purposes. In recent years, many completely loyal persons have severed organizational ties after learning for the first time of the character of groups to which they had belonged.” ''i.-,
