Opinion
On petition for rehearing.
The petition for rehearing is denied. The petition calls our attention to the following comment in our opinion: “It appears that neither the Subcommittee nor Slochower was aware that his claim of privilege would ipso jacto result in his discharge, and would bar him permanently from holding any position either in the city colleges or in the city government.” 350 U. S. 551, 554, lines 13-18. This observation was based on the printed record then before us. The Board now presents for the [945]*945first time additional portions of the official transcript of the proceedings before the United States Senate Internal Security Subcommittee which cast doubt on its accuracy. Since the comment was in no wise controlling of our decision, we believe its deletion from the opinion would serve the interests of accuracy. It is so ordered. [
[Note: The opinion is reported as so amended in the bound volume of 350 U. S.]
