Consequently. they say, prae-
tically all persons hired for se-
curity-type jobs are checked for
loyalty before actually being placed
on the Federal payroll.
But this doesn't apply to all
employees hired for jobs in the de-
fense agency, since the rapid en-
ployment expansion there makes
it impossible to give all Of the
workers pre-job loyalty check.
In these cases, employees hired for
assignments which are not con-
sidered directly linked with pos
sible security violations. are al
lowed to go on the job, pending
a later loyalty check.
Federal officials say that ccm-
plete loyalty checks Of all new
Government workers. whether in
defense or non-defense agencies,
will be made as soon as possible.
But they say that it will take a
little time to complete all the in
vestigation.
In some instances. prospective
employees for Federal jobs directly
connected with the defense effort
have been kept waiting for months
before getting their positions. This
is because the particular agencies
involved have hesitated employing
them before they are given full
loyalty clearance.

Facial Mole Leads
To Forgery Conviction
OF MARYLAND Woman

A mole shown on the face of
Ia 29-year-old East Riverdale

by police three months ago re-
suited in her conviction on a
forgery charge yesterday.

lett was deferred to 3 pm.
Wednesday by Judge Charles w.
Woodward in the Montgomery
County Circuit Court at the re-
quest Of her attorney, Joseph B.
Simpson. jr.
Mrs. Millett, mother of 9-year-
old twin daughters. was accused
of cashing a forged $64 check
in March at the Sterling Kitty
Shop, 8711 Florida avenue. Silver
Spring.
Served Term Before.
Police said she was convicted
of similar offense in county
Circuit Court in December, 1947,
and served six months.
At her trial yesterday, however,
Mrs. Millett denied ever entering
the store or writing the check.
And a surprise defense witness,
Ira GulickSon, handwriting ex-
pert for the Metropolitan Police,
testified samples of her writing
differed from that on the check.
But Leonard Levy, owner Of the
store. insisted Mrs. Millett was
the woman who presented the
check to him. He said he remem-
bered her because she had small
mole on her right cheek at the
time.
Judge Woodward then asked
Mr.. Levy to look at the defend
ant, seated about 10 feet from
the witness stand.
Does she have mole on her
face now?" he asked.
mo. she does not" Mr.. Levy
replied.
Her husband, Edward Millett,
who married her last January,
testified he had never seen a mole
on his wife's face since he first
met her in September, 1948.
Then. States Attorney Walter
w. Dawson. produced a picture
which police took of Mrs. Millett
when she was arrested September
10. 1t showed small mark like a
mole on her right cheek. just where
Mr.. Levy said he saw it March 2.
Mr.. Simpson made last-minute
attempt to wave away this evi-
dence. He claimed 1t might have
been a pimple or a shadow or a
flaw in the negative. But it was
no use. Said Judge Woodward: !:
II was ready to turn her loose
when Mr.. Levy couldn't see mole
on this woman on the witness
stand. But when this pitcure was
brought in. 1t showed the mole on
the exact spot where Mr.. Levy said
it was. Mr.. GulickSon's testimony
is not sufficient to raise any doubt
in my mind. I find this woman
guilty"

vocates moderate anti-Semitism."
Kraus made this statement dur
ing testimony in a libel suit he

Democratic Journalists, who had
described the plaintiff as a "neo-
fascist"
Replying to a question as to
whether he favored anti-Semitism,
Mr.. Kraus said he was opposed
to the Nazi form Of anti-Semi-
tism," but was in favor of mild
form such as exists in the United
States" Kraus is one of Is dep
uties in the Austrian Parliament
representing the League.
A spokesman for the Vienna
Community described Kraus' re-
marks on anti-semitism as the log
ical result of the Austrian govern

that the League is composed OF

Walter R. Bimson
Offers Loan Plan

Walter r. Bimson, president of
the Valley National Bank of Phoe-
nix, Arizona, in a speech before
the American Life Convention in
Chicago October 9th, proposed to
the Insurance Executives a plan
for financing small business with
out government aid or subsidy.
He stated that the proposals for
insuring loans to small business
embodied in the Small Business
Act of 1850 together with the
proposal to create a national in
vestment company to purchase
common and preferred stock in
business enterprises toget h r
would adequately meet the needs
of small business for equity cap
ital and long term loans.
Bimson Proposals
"These proposals., Bimson stat
ed, aroused considerable opposi-
ton, not because they were inef-
fective or unsound, but because
they involved the use of a govern
ment agency and government
money to get them started"
He pointed out that the banks
and insurance companies of the
nation, holding the largest pools
of investment funds, had it in
their power to adopt these two
suggestions and without the aid
Of government help or subsidy,
meet the needs of creditworthy
small businesses in obtaining
equity capital and long term loans.
Study Plan
He suggested that the insurance
men, investment bankers and COM
mercial bankers through their ma
tional organizations establish a
joint commission to study this
problem and implement the Small
Loan Plan and the equity bank
plan.
He pointed out. that such a plan
would do more than anything else
to keep the government out of
the lending business and would
give another indication that free
enterprise, without the aid of gov
ernment, has the courage and
initiative to work out new form
ula to meet an important nation
al problem.
