Mitchell Cites Need
OF Protecting Liberals
In Probe Of Loyalty

President Harry B. Mitchell OF the
Civil Service Commission last night
expressed the conviction the forth
coming loyalty investigation Of Fed
eral employees should protect nom
Communists who have given ex-
preston to liberal and even radical
opinions"
Speaking before a dinner meeting
Of the Society for Personnel Ad-
ministration, Mr.. Mitchell said the
loyalty inquiry should be judicious-
ly conducted to avoid injuring in
nocent persons.
While asserting that the Govern
ment must rid itself of Communists
and other disloyal persons, Mr..
Mitchell declared it was also the
duty of those carrying out the pro-
gram "to protect persons who are
alleged to have given expression to
liberal and even radical opinions, or
had advocated or interested them
selves in movements for social
changes which they regarded as
promising better conditions for hui
manity, but which were generally
regarded as radical"
Have Right to Think.
Let us not forget that the prog
ress of humanity has come from
human Thought" Mr.. Marshall de-
clared. He reminded his audience
mot to forget that the United States
was founded on the ideal that men
were free to think as they pleased
on any subject. If they see imper-
fections in Our Government, or
seeming imperfections, and are
striving to better the conditions,
they certainly have the right"
The commission will set up It's
loyalty review board, which will be
the court Of final appeal for accused
employees, with this thought in
mind, Mr.. Mitchell said.
The commission president ex-
pressed the belief that mot more
than fraction of l per cent of Gov-
ernment employees will have to be
investigated further and that the
persons already known to be dis
loyal are only a small fraction OF
the above fraction"
Mr.. Mitchell said President Tru-
man sis particularly anxious that
3" no person will be declared dis
loyal unless there is ample evidence
to prove reasonable doubt as to his
loyalty"
Regarding the loyalty review
boards, Mr.. Mitchell said the COM
is having some difficulty in
finding qualified persons who are
available for full-time service. He
said, however, that the commission
hopes to select at least Is persons
with the right type of background
and experience for the jobs.
Another speaker, Luther c. Stew
ard, president of the National Fed
Grafton of Federal Employees. ex-
pressed confidence that the loyalty
Investigations will not result In
witch hunts or red batting"
Mr.. Steward reminded his audi
ence that his union has always
banned Communists and fellow
travellers.
Our only criticism Of the execu-
tive order is that it has come be-
latedly," Mr.. Steward said. ut
should have come much sooner"
The meeting was held at Barker
Hall of the YWCA, Seventeenth and
K streets NV.

If l were to list the classes of

agories in which there are the most
typographical errors. They are, Of

every newspaper and yet-they do
serve a useful purpose too.

when the error is discovered the
reader can hardly wait to find some
one to read the story to. The
