The City Council of the City of E1 Segundo, California,
does ordain as f- ollows :
�'IO'T 1. Definitions.
-lithin the meaning of this ordinance
(a) "Explosives" means gun powder, blasting powder,
dynamite, and every other explosive substance having a power
greater than or equal to ordinary black powder.
(b) "ieapons" means --avolver, pistol, dagger, dirk;'.
slug, high - powdered air rifle, or billy.
(c) "tilias" means any name other than the true name of
a person which such person uses or has used or which he or she is
known by or has been known by.
(d) "Member" means any person who is recognized by
an organization as such or who is formally associated or affiliated
with any organization or who accepts the policies-or programs of
any c,rganization an:] who is active in its behalf.
SECTION 2. The City Council finds that:
(a) In Los -Angeles County there are active disciplined
organizations presently functioning which have as one of their
premises the precept that in the immediate future their principles
must and will be imposed upon the majority of the people in Los
Angeles County by a minority through the establishment of a totali-
tarian dictatorship based upon force and power rather than upon
law notwithstanding the persistent and continuing refusal of the
majority to accept their principles through the exercise of the
ballot or other lawful means.

245r
(b) In Los Angeles County there are active disciplined
organizations presently functioning which have as one of their
principles the precept that if the majority of the people in Los
- nSeles County refuse to accept its premises but elect to forci-
bly resist, then the organizations must meet this forcible re-
sistence by use of force and violence in order to impose their
principles upon the majority of the people.
(c) In Los nngeles County there are active disciplined
organizations presently functioning which have as one of their
principles the precept that the use of force and violence by them
to accomplish their purposes in changing the present constitutional
form of government in the County of Los nngeles is inevitable be-
cause the majority of the people in Los nngeles County will not
acquiesce to their de -ands.
(d) The goal of these organizations is to seize power
of ;overrment b-- and for a minority and thereby to forcibly re-
cast our whole social and political structure and reject the en-
tire religious and cultural heritage of nmerican economic and
Political systems. Because such is their goal, there is a serious
specific, and substantial danger that these organizations and
their members in Los nngeles County will engage in individual and
concerted activities for the purpose of compelling acceptance of
their principles against the will of the majority.
(e) There is a clear and present clanger which the Coun-
cil.specifically finds is great and i.nminent that these organiza-
tions will, for the purpose of pressing their principles upon the
people of the County of Los Angeles, succeed in accumulating and
storing large quantities of fire arms, explosives, and other wea-
pons and equipment which will be employed for such purposes, and
that numbers of these organizations will succeed in infiltrating
and obtaining positions in civilian defense agencies for the
- 2 -
245E
Purpose of forcing the principles of these organizations on the
people in Los rngeles County.
(f) Because of the strategic location of Los Angeles
County, its great population, its use as an important embarcation
point for military opera = tions, the presence in the County of nu-
merous large _Manufacturing plants devoted to the production of
materials and supplies used by military forces and the civilian
defense organizations for the purpose of preserving the present
c,,rlstitutional form of government, all possible measures under
the law must be imediately taken to safeguard and prevent within
the County any use of violence or forceful means or other illegal
means which might be used b., '.'Zee e organizations to seize the
powers of government by and for a minority. The Council further
specifically finds the registration of members of organizations
defined in this ordinance who reside in, are employed in, or
regularly enter or travel through the County and disclosure of
their location, is a reasonable measure by which to accomplish
these ends.
(g) The City Council further specifically finds that:
(1) Registration of members of these organiza-
tions who reside in, are employed in, have their business
in, or enter the County;
(2) The prevention of their possession of con-
cealed weapons, explosives whether concealed or unconcealed;
and
(3) Denial of employment in the City of El Segundo
disaster relief authority or any other civilian defense or-
ganization or agency in said County, are reasonable measures
by which to accomplish these ends.
SECTIM? 3. Any person who resides in, does business in,
is employed in, has a regular place of business in, or who regu-
larly enters or trzvels through any kart of the City of E1 Segundo

if he or she is a member of any organization designated hereinbelo;::
(a) Any organization that has as one of its premises
the precept that in the immediate future its principles must and
will be imposed upon the majority of the people within the.City
of E1 Segundo by a minority through the establishment of a totali-
tarian dictatorship based upon force and power rather than upon
law notwithstanding the persistent and continuing refusal of the
majority to accept its principles through exercise of the ballot
or other lawful means.
(b) ==any organization that has as one of its premises
the precept that if the majority of the people in Los Angeles
County refuse to accept its principles but elect to forcibly re-
s.":,t, then the organization must meet this forcible resistence
by means of force or violence in order to impose their principles
upon the majority of the people.
(c) :ny organization that has as one of its premises
the precept that the use of force and violence by it to accomplish
its purpose in changing- the present constitutional form of any
government in the County of Los Angeles is inevitable because the
majority of the people in Los rnyeles County will not acquiesce
to its demands.
(d) That the City of El Segundo is located in the Coun-
ty of Los Angeles, State of California, above referred to, and
being located in said county and having within its own city limits
various industries producing commodities and materials essential
and vital to military and civilian defense of the United States
of -lmerica; therefore, the same findings, hereinabove made with
reference to the County of Los Angeles, apply equally as well to
the City of E1 Segundo.
