Qeanu Up Week
May

The Dayton Chamber of Com
merce will sponsor its annual
Community Cleanup Week from
May 1 to May 8. The purpose Of
the week, in which the Boy Scouts
will participate, is to impart a
greater pride on the part of Day
tonians in their neighborhoods.
Again we say we deplore the
necessity of setting aside "weeks"
for the observation of duties which
should be observed every week in
the year. But, sadly, it is a fact
that those duties are not observ-
ed, and for that reason it is in
cumbent upon some organization
to point up the necessity for the
indulgence of the duty.
In this particular instance, the
Daily EXPRESS is happy to pub
licize the "week'', for it seems to
us that residents of this section
of the community : not all, but
some = r a bit remiss when it
comes to c~luttering the streets and
alleys with debris, refuse, garb-
age, etc.
It is not merely a matter of
maintaining a clean neighborhood
it is mostly a matter of health.
Everyone who thinks about it
know that dirt begets disease.
Germs thrive on filth. Rodents,
cockroches ACE bearers of disease
germs concentrate in areas where
there is an tendency to be careless
about the disposal of refuse and
garbage.
Children play in these areas, not
from choice, but because there
are so few recreational areas for
them. You will have seen children
playing around alleys and streets,
barefooted, and, as children will
do, rolling in the filth that clut-
tiers too many of our streets.
You can see that you are not
doing the C. or c., or anyone else
a favor by cleaning-up your
neighborhood. You are doing your
self a favor.

the presumption of the board that

Hardin pointed to the war re-

ATLANTIC CITY, N. j. (ANP)
June college graduates will find
the picking slim for the next two

commissioner of labor statistics
of the Department of Labor.

Getting up a Government loyal
ty file is like going to the dentist
At least, in the opinion Of Seth
w. Richardson. Federal Loyalty
Review Board chairman, a check
up need not hurt a bit. And II
can indicate whether surface
speck is only a baseless smear OF
a condition that shouldn't be
risked.
The makeup Of a Government
employees loyalty file mystifies
many citizens. Loyalty program
officials see nothing secret or sim
lister in the system. But they in
sist the sources of information be
kept confidential.
The file literally takes form
in the very first move.
Every Government employe-in-
cluding Mr.. Richardson-fllls out

Officials restrictions on publi-
cation of such material are so
tight that even unnamed typical"
cases are available. But here is
what might happen in the case Of
a f1ctional Joe Doakes:
The form containing a Doakes
fingerprint as we'll as his answers
to questions about personal back
ground and various past and pres
ent Affiliations goes to the FBI.
One question is whether he ever
belonged to an organization ad-
vocating violent overthrow of the
Government.
Form and f1ngerprints are COM
pared with whatever records the
FBI already might have on him.
The FBI looks especially for any
"derogatory elements" relating to
the question Of loyalty.
If the FBI records disclose
nothing, the agency returns the
Doakes form to his department,
where it is filed. So far as the
loyalty program is concerned, Joe
Doakes is in the clear-unless
something turns up later. The
overwhelming majority of such
checks end right there, Mr.. Rich
ardson said.
Suppose, however, that the FBI
finds in it's records that Joe
Doakes belonged to an organi-
zation listed by the Attorney
General as subversive. Or that

FBI Digs up Information.
The FBI then would assign the
file to a field investigator. De-
partmental loyalty boards and the

headed by Mr.. Richardson do not

information from all kinds of
people. Some of it comes through
tips, anonymous and otherwise,
letters, gossip, home town -ecords
and other sources. Much of it
comes from questions asked of

others.

a neighbor told of gatherings at
the Doakes home attended by per-
sons otherwise known by investi-
gators to be linked with Subversive
activities or purported front" Or
ganizations.
The report might contain some
apparently extraneous material
that conceivably could fit into the
general pattern. But it also would
contain all available information
favorable to Doakes.
The department loyalty board
considers the FBI report and
whatever else the Doakes file has.
1t could wash it out" and end
the matter, unless additional in
formation developed later to JUS
tify a further check.
Assuming that the depart
mental loyalty board believed
the situation presented some
substance" it would prepare a
letter of charges. 1t would notify
Doakes what the records show
against him. 1t would not tell
the employe where the informa-
ton originated. The loyalty
board itself would not have the
names of those who gave the in
formation to the Investigators
Doakes would be invited to
appear before the department

department head. He does not
see the ,FBI report and is not
confronted by people who might
have accused him. The depart

trary. he can appeal to the de-
partment head who can reverse
