THE BLOODY uprising which al
most wrecked the Inter-American
Conference at Bogota recently
was headlined in the American
press. Most observers thought it
was just another South American
political upheaval. Yet, when the
smoke of pillaging, the looting,
and the dynamiting had ceased, it
was evident that this rebellion
had something different. The new
ingredient was the amazing pre-
eision of timing and the speed
~ith which the events moved.
when American newspaper
men who were in Bogota had time
10 think about ID, they discovered
that this revolution" was pulled
off with the same practiced tech
niques that European Commu-
nists have been known to use.
1t was also discovered, after the
haze cleared, that our own State
Department, including our Bogo-
Ia foreign Office, had received
warnings out of Chile that some
thing was afoot. Yet nothing pre-
vented the uprising.

The Communists then really
took to their soap-boxes. They
openly identified themselves as
Communists and called for COM

have weapons. Other mobs at

We don't know what the most
important headline of the year will
be- but we're willing to bet that the
most-repeated sports headline of the
year in Seattle will be"SEATTLE

Clears 1,005,994
Federal Employees
House Committee Prepares
Reply to Order Boring
Access to Secret Files

The FBI has cleared more than
100000 Federal employees under
the loyalty program, the Justice
Department revealed today as
the House Committee on Un-
American Activities prepared to
move against President Tru-
mans instructions that agencies
ignore congressional subpoenas
for confidential loyalty records.
Representative Mcdowell. Repub-
lican, of Pennsylvania, member OF
the committee, said the group was
preparing a formal reply to Mr.
Truman's order.
The order, he said, might give
technical protection to dangerous
persons now in Government jobs.
FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover
summarizing the loyalty check pro-
gram to date. said 1005 .944 loyalty
forms had been marked mo disloyal
data" and returned to the Civil
Service Commission for transmittal
to employing agencies.
TIT investigations Initiated.
A total of TIT full field investiga-
tions had been initiated, of which
ITO had been completed. with the
employees being cleared in 80 cases,
he said.
In five cases, the individuals
were found to have left Government
service; in 38, the workers resigned
during the investigations, and "a
cases had been referred to the Civil
Service Commission for considera-
tion, Mr.. Hoover said.
He emphasized the FBI did not
evaluate information developed and
was not "the accuser, prosecutor or
Judge"
The President instructed execu-
tive agencies yesterday to respect
fully" decline any congressional de-
mands for FBI records or other
confidential information regarding
the loyalty of Federal employees. He
said any subpoenas should be re-
ferred to him, and he would decide
what, if any, information should be
supplied in each particular case.
Congress Action Needed.
Prominent Republican House
members, and some Democrats with
whom he conferred, Mr.. Mcdowell
said, agree it would take congress
sional action TO override the Presi-
dents decision.
But, he added, I'VE agreed that
Congress should have the right to
such information If we are to legis-
late on national security. The Pres
