Washington requires every public employee to subscribe to an oath that he is “not a subversive person or a member of the Communist Party or any subversive organization, foreign or otherwise, which engages in or advocates, abets, advises, or teaches the overthrow, destruction or alteration of the constitutional form of the government of the United States, or of the State of Washington, or of any political subdivision of either of them, by revolution, force or violence; . . Refusal so to do “on any *475grounds shall be cause for immediate termination of such employee’s employment.” *
