Loyalty Check Finds !
Reserve Officers in
Nominee LIST Suspect:
By John A. Giles

Seven reserve officers investigated
for loyalty among the approximately
$4,000 nominated by the President
for Regular Army and Air Force
commissions are classified as "sus-
pect pending receipt of further in
formation" the Army disclosed to-
day.
The Army said 3,549 investigations
among the $4,000 had been COM
pleted.
Presumably the seven suspects
also will lose their present reserve
commissions, if the charges are
proved against them, since the War
Department has ruled that mem
bership in or close affiliation with
the Communist Party is inimical to
national security" The Army did
not specify just how the reservisJs
came to be classified as suspect"

Officers entering the Regular
Army and Air Force are subject to
screening during their three-year
probationary period. Investigation OF

sion.

Justice Prettyman said they were
among "the men who have devoted
much time to District affairs"
THE great city which you find
here its arrangement, its beauty,
its operation. are due in no small
measure to the unselfish contribu-
tions of these men, their fellow
workers and their predecessors" he
said. "I believe that if you were to
listen to them, you would find that
this service and this attitude are
not without satisfaction as major
items in their countrys business
upon which they are engaged"
Congressmen, Too, Problem.
He pointed to the Districts prob
lens and said that from the point
of view of Washington, Congress
men are sometimes Of problem
too" He continued: You do not
let these people vote, not even in
presidential election. You do not
let them have voice in the selec-
ton of even one administrative Of
ficial in the local government. You
won't let them do lots of things they
would like to do. You frequently
dislike them and say so publicly
and in vigorous language"
Citing the problems, Justice Pret-
tvman declared: Many of these
problems are big and complicated,
such, for example, as the financial
relationship between the Federal
Government as whole and the local
treasury which is composed of local
revenues"
He urged a cooperative approach
In solving mutual problems by sit
ting down together and working out
a satisfactory solution.
Joseph G. McGarraghy, president
of the Board of Trade, who presided,
welcomed the newly-elected men,
bers of the Eightieth Congress. He
spoke in the name of the officers,
directors and more than 1000 men,
bers of his organization.
MAY tonight be just the begin
ming of friendships that will enrich
our lives for years to come and unite
us everymore closely in our devotion
to the Washington -That-Is-To-Be." "
