sion, as a poor security risk.
Committee members made il
clear after a meeting with Mr.
Sawyer yesterday there would be
q full-scale investigation if Mr.
Lee. q Manchurian-born natural
lied citizen. is not discharged i'm.
mediately.
They withheld action on a reso.
luton calling for the investiga-
ton until Secretary Sawyer looked
anew into the case.
It was said that Mr.. Sawyer had
promised a report within a few
days. Some members indicated
they believed the Commerce OFF,
cial would be discharged on the
basis of new information uncov-
cred in preliminary Senate in
quiry.
Brewster Wants Probe Any Way.
Chairman Edwin c. johnson
would not confirm that the COM
mittee had recommended Mr.. Lees
discharge. But he said with 9
smile that if the official were dis
missed, II don't suppose the COM
mittee would have to investigate. -
However, Senator Brewster, Re-
publican. of Maine, told reporters
he would not be satisfied with
just the dismissal of Mr.. Lee. He
explained that he thought an in
vestigation should be made to de-
termine why the man was en-
ployed in the first place. and who
was responsible for that.
The committee met with Mr..
Sawyer yesterday before acting on
a subcommittee's recommendation
for the investigation. The action
was requested in a resolution in
troduced some weeks ago by Sen
ator Malone. Republican. of
Nevada.
Before the full committee was
o l6-page report by the subcom-
mittee that one member described
as "a very lurid" picture of Mr..
Lees background.
After meeting with the COM
mittee for an hour and half, Mr..
Sawyer was reported to have ad-
mitted that much of the material
IN the report was new to him.
Loyalty NOT Only Issue.
The report did not deal with
the question Of loyalty alone. It
also was said to charge that Mr..
Lee had made misstatements on
application Observation-Disclosures
| which would be grounds for dis
missal.
In addition to the report there
was information from a House re-
port released Monday linking the
official with the 1945 Amerasia
case involving the alleged theft
OF secret Government documents.
There was no immediate COM
ment from Mr.. Lee on the days
proceedings.
Senator johnson said Secretary
Sawyer didn't say that he would
fire him." and added:
Sawyer Is going to look him
over and look into his record,
especially with regard to the new
charges made in the House."

80 years or more of service, but
who have not reached the legal
retirement age of so. This group
and thousands of others in the

would give the employees the op-

tory. The opportunity for earlier
retirement would extend only to

SENTIMENT - The Navy is
finding that good old fashioned
sentiment is a factor that can
not be ignored, even in such a
prosaic thing as q safety pro-
gram.
Recently the Naval Ord
nance Laboratory in q safety
move to cut down injuries
among its civilian machinists
and other shop employees, re-
quired that the workers remove
all rings fro mtheir fingers, in
cluding wedding bands.
Well, some Of the employees
raised a howl about that. One
of them said he had worn his
wedding band for 20 years with
out ever taking it of and didn't
intend to do so now. His wife
also lodged q strong protest.
The situation remains in a
stalemate. Several employees say
they have been threatened with
disciplinary action unless they
take off their wedding bands
during working hours. If any,
one has q solution to this knot
ty problem, the Navy would cer-
tainly like to know about it.
