Hers is the one case in which
a request was made for q re-

Loyalty program offlcials
long have been concerned by
the fact that, in its operation.
the accused usually is not al
lowed to face his accusers and
rebut their specific charges, If
any. In December. 1947, when
the program was barely under
way, Review Board Chairman
Seth w. Richardson described
his attitude toward the prob
lem in these words:
/ The point has been vigor-
'o.Asly presented to us as fol-
lows: Every employe accused
of disloyalty should be given
the right to confront his &C
cusers. and subject them to
cross-examination.' This con-
tention has obvious force. and
presents grave considerations
to us. Why have we been un-
able to accept 1t?

and the disposition OF them Is
not shown here. In sol cases
the employe resigned before his
case was heard. OF the re-
manning cases, the regional and
agency boards have acted so
far on 1901 cases.
These boards have cleared
2,916 of the cases on which
they have acted. They have
recommended dismissal Of the
employee in 174 cases.
OF these l74, there were So

Prosecutions Case

At Miss Bailey's frst hearing
before the regional panel last
September 10, the basic charge
against her-Communist men,
bership-was further developed
The examiner. R. A.. Loughton
told her the Civil Service Com
mission had information that she
/. Had been a Communist since
1895, and had attended Com
munist meetings in the early days
Of her membership.
2. Returned to "quieter type
of Communist activity after she
became active in the public
workers union.
3. Always associated intimately
with District Communist leaders.
4. Wanted to be Communist
Party leader herself. and showed
that desire in her union activities.
5. Was member of the closed
group" of the District Communist
Party. C"closed group" members
apparently camouf1age their po-
litical views and work underground
for the partyo
6. Was responsible for estab-
fishing a minority group" in the
AFL's Central Labor Union here.
7. Was a "left-wing" leader OF
Local 10 and was controlled by
Communist leaders in the District.
8. Had long and consistently
followed Communist policies and
instructions and the party line
In union activities.
8. Consulted and supported
union officials with Communist
leanings.
Miss Bailey was asked to COM
ment on these allegations. Basi-
cally, in each instance. her answer
was that9she never had been a
Communist. Il cannot under
stand" she said, how this specific
charge could be made by any enc
who knows me or the things that
I have stood for" She said she
did not know who the Communist
leaders of the District were-ano
never had known. She denied
ever having wanted to be Com.
munist, much less a Communist
leader. She said she had never
been a member of a CLOSED
group" In any organization. She
said she was new to the labor
movement when she had servec
as a delegate to the Contra
Labor Union, and that she had moi

zation-certainly not a Com.

She admitted having consulted

Life and Times

Little time was wasted by the
loyalty panels in probing into
Miss Bailey's early life and pro-
fessional career. AS is common In
such cases. there is nothing in the
record which would. OF itself. ex-
cite suspicion. She was born in
Minneapolis. 3s years ago, into
a middle-income. middle-class
family. where the Methodist
Church and the American flag
seem always to have been in I'M
challenged control Of the situa-
ton.
Members of her family say Miss
Bailey never caused them any
trouble after she had her tonsils
out at the age of 8. She progressed
from high school to the Univer-
sity of Minnesota, where she
worked her way by doing clerical
work in the football ticket office,
majored in psychology, made Phi
Beta Kappa, was chosen one Of
eight Representative : Minneso-
tans," elected president Of the
YWCA and became interested
through two of her professors. in
the problems of public employ
ment and personnel administra-
ton.
Miss Bailey continued her stud
les in employment and personnel
problems during two years of
scholarship work at Bryn Mawr.
Then. as soon as there was an
opening, she came to work with
the United States Employment
Service in Washington as
$l,440-a-year clerk. That was in
1888. She stayed on the Job until
the summer of 1947, when she
was laid of as a result of re-
duction in force. She was rehired
a year ago. At the time of her
suspension last fall she was super

nations were friendly today: that
she did not believe Russia or her

did not like the way Russia had

Mr.. Porter's Comment.
But as Miss Bailey's last hearing
drew to a close, 1t was evident
that the board still was concerned
over her failure to be more posi-
tive in her anti-C Communist ex-
pressions. Mr.. Seasongood asked
Mr.. Porter to comment on this
failure. Here Is the answer:
"Mr. Porter: I think that 1t is
typical Of the type Of person We
are dealing with. It would have
been easy for her to have re-
sponded to that with . kind Of
emotional fervor that. I abhor
Communists and detest them and
all that they stand for - 1t

avoid the sort Of superficial an

what specific accusations had been
made.
The one cold fact with which
they had to contend was the fact
that FBI informants said she was
a Communist.
The tactics of the defense were
necessarily simple. Again and
again Miss Bailey swore that she
was not a Communist, had never
been a Communist and never in
tended to become one. Friends.
professional associates. members
Of her union-even her pastor at
the Metropolitan Memorial Meth
odist Church here-took the wit
ness stand under oath or wrote
notarized letters saying that what
they knew of her made 1t irnpossi-
bic for them to believe the charge.
In addition. the defense pre-
sented evidence of her views on
various issues which, in recent
years. have been generally re-
garded as checkpoints of the Com
munist line. She had. it was
pointed out, favored lend-lease
and national CONSUMPTION in the
prewar years before Russia was
attacked by Germany. She was for
the Marshall Plan. She was the
only member of the national board
of her union to vote against a
resolution applauding the birth Of
Henry Wallace's third party. And
SO on.
Board Gives Final Decision.
Having considered these repre-
sensations. the loyalty panels
nevertheless concluded that there
was reasonable ground to doubt
her loyalty. No opinion explaining
the decision was published or
otherwise made available to Miss
Bailey's attorneys. Pending court
action. the boards have spoken the
last, unqualified word.
The Star has made a detailed
inquiry into the case Of Miss
Bailey-for a number of reasons.
The case, of itself, has unusually
interesting features. Beyond
that, it serves as an illustra-
ton of the difficulties. dilemmas
and possible dangers Of the loyalty
program as whole. a system
which was designed to provide the
right of hearing and appeal. but
which does not provide such basic
safeguards as the right OF the &C
cused to know the particulars OF
the charge and confront his &C
cusers. A system. too. which
places the defendant in the I'M
usual position of having to dis
prove charges. as against the
accepted court procedure in which
the prosecution must carry the
burden Of proof.
Also, since Miss Bailey's at
torneys intend to take the mat
ter into court. added interest
centers on her. case as one which
eventually may test the. legality
Of the Presidents loyalty order as
1t is now being carried out.
These are the reasons for the
present article. which is not de-
signed to prove that Miss Bailey
is innocent, or to argue the point.
The Star does not know whether
Miss Bailey is innocent. If she
were, The Star could not prove 1t.
What is more important. neither
could Miss Bailey. Because al
though the FBI's informants have
their reasons for believing she Is
q Communist, neither The Star,
nor Miss Bailey II she is innocent
nor any one else outside Of the
FBI and the loyalty boards knows,
or can find out, what those rea-
sons are.
