Lehman Asks Judicial
ProceedingstoProtect
Loyalty Case Suspects

The Federal loyalty program
today stood indicted by Senator
Lehman, Democrat, of New York.
for "all the shame and suffering
Git has) needlessly visited on
hundreds and thousands of Gov
ernment employees over the last
two years"
The freshman Senator leveled
the blast during a Roosevelt day
dinner. sponsored by the Wash
ington Chapter, Americans for
Democratic Action, last night in
the Shoreham Hotel. The for
mer New York Governor was
elected to Congress last fall with
President Truman's backing.
"I understand and indorse the
objectives of the loyalty pro-
gram" declared Mr.. Lehman.
But I sincerely hope that the
entire loyalty program may be
reviewed and a better system,
more consistent with the Ameri-
can tradition, be developed and
established.
Would Fire Unworthy.
Speaking to an audience of
more than 400, including many
members of Congress and other
top Government officials. the New
York legislator said his general
conclusion is that persons of
alien or truly un7American view
points have no place in repre-
sentative or sensitive positions in
the Federal Government"
"All such persons should be dis
charged. after the facts are estab-
lished, as lacking the proper
qualifications for the job," he said.
But do not believe that the
brand of disloyalty should be
placed upon such individuals by
any administrative body =.
The basis of this action. in my
opinion, should be disqualified
ton, rather than disloyalty. Dis
loyalty stands hard by treason.
No such finding should be made
for any individual except after
judicial proceeding, with all the
safeguards for the accused which
Anglo-Saxon and American law
provide"
Explains Welfare State.
Turning to the welfare state"
the New York Senator said, "the
connection between freedom and
the welfare state is simple"
"The welfare state must main
tain balance between freedom
and security. Through the pro-
grams of the welfare state, we
must bring to the people adequate
housing. We must secure the aged
against the degradation of pauper-
ism. We must raise minimum
wages and develop and conserve
our natural resources"
Other speakers were Senator
Humphrey, Democrat, of Mime
sofa; Benjamin Sigal, president of
the ADA's Washington Chapter,
and DR.. Reinhold Niebuhr, promi-
nent theologian and author.
Toastmaster was the Rev, A.,
Powell Davies, pastor of the All
Souls Unitarian Church.

Acheson Backs France
On Saar Detachment

Secretary of State Acheson said
today that the United States sup
ports the French view that the
rich Saar basin should be de-
tached from Germany.
He told a news conference that
this Government believes the Saar
should be integrated with France
financially and economically, with
its political future to be deter
mined in the final peace settle
ment with Germany.
When the time for settlement
comes, he added, this Govern
ment will back the French posi-
ton that the Saar should have a
certain degree of autonomy.
Mr.. Acheson also told his news
conference that he knows of moth
ing which might lead to any
change in the American policy for
international control of atomic
energy.
He gave this answer when asked
If there were any prospective de-
velopments such as building a
much more powerful atomic bomb
in this country that might change
the policy, as well as when asked
about effects of Russian possession
of an atomic bomb.
