The infinite-parameter symmetry algebra of the massive tower of fields in five-dimensional N = 2 Kaluza-Klein supergravity compactified on M/sup 4/ x S/sup 1/ is identified as a local version of the Kac-Moody extension of the super-Poincare algebra with central charge mixed with the Virasoro algebra. Most of the symmetry is spontaneously broken. The Goldstone (s = 1,0) bosons and (s = 1/2) fermions are identified, and the implication for the mass spectrum of the massive tower of fields is discussed.
