that help to Britain was leading
to war, said:

u. 5. Checks Loyalty
OF Defense Staff
In Usual Manner
Investigation Similar
To Thot Conducted
In Many Other Cosesl

Qualifications of persons employed
by defense agencies, with particular
reference to their character and their
loyalty to the United States, are now
under investigation by the Civil
Service Commission, it was revealed
yesterday.
For several weeks the commission
has been looking into the qualifica-
tions Of employees of the Defense
Commission, and similar investiga-
tions are being made of persons cer-
titled for employment in other de-
fense agencies.
That this investigation is under
way has been known to Defense
Commission employees, the Civil
Service Commission pointed out in a
statement. The purpose of the in
quiry, it said, has been ito assure the
Defense Commission that all persons
on its rolls are suitable for employ
ment both from the standpoint of
character and from the standpoint
Of loyalty to the United States.
Routine Questions.
THE type of investigation used is
exactly the same as that which has
been made in tens of thousands of
cases in a period of more than a
decade. 1t Is customary procedure
of the Civil Service Commission to
conduct thorough investigations in
the case of prospective employees in
many branches of the Government.
1t is the same type of inquiry which
the commission uses for many of the
positions on its own rolls. More or
less standardized questions which
have been evolved over long period
of years have been found particularly
useful in bringing out all phases of
the qualifications of prospective en-
ployes.
THE Civil Service Commission be-
lieves that at all times but particu-
larly during a period of national
emergency the Government is en-
titled to the services of persons whose
character and loyalty are beyond
question. The Investigations designed
to determine such facts must be
thorough and all doubts must be re-
solved in favor of the Government.
Reports Confidential.
The present investigations and
many others which are being made
of persons certified to defense agen-
cies are in line with this objective,
an objective which the commission
believes the entire country will sup
port. Defense agencies are entitled
to the best available personnel"
The reports of its investigators, it
was said at the commission, are con-
fidential. Published reports setting
forth the intimate and personal
questions allegedly asked of employees
of the Defense Commission were de-
scribed by the Civil Service Com
mission il its statement as "inac-
curate and unduly sensational"

Rumania, once strongly pro-Brit-

axis soon after the fall of France
last June. Since then the course of
events has swept her ever closer to
the axis orbit.
Until June, Rumania, fattened by
territory acquired in the Allied vic
tory in the World War, was bound
tightly to Britain and France. They
dominated her oil industry and
guaranteed her territorial integrity.
Frances capitulation to the axis
marked the turning point, however.
