The American people are
rightly indignant over the dis
covery of wrongdoing in the
Government in connection with
the tax scandals. but the won-
der is that there is so little in
dignation expressed over the dis
loyalty cases also proved to ex-
ist inside the Government.
The fact that the United
States Loyalty Review Board
found 343 Americans ineligible"
to work for their own Govern
ment because they were either
disloyal or because there were
reasonable doubts" as to their
loyalty raises a question as to
why any Americans at all are to-
day in that questionable status.
What is most amazing in con-
trast is the tendency of some
left wingers" to condone the
existence of 343 persons found
ineligible by the United States
Loyalty Review Board. The
usual argument made is that
this is after all such a small per
cent out of many Government
employees if it takes tens of
thousands of disloyal persons to
do the damage one man-Klaus
Fuchs-did when he stole the
American atomic secret and gave
1t to Russia.
Alger Hiss has been convicted
OF lying about his connection
with the Communist conspira-
cies and he occupied a most i'm
portant position in the coun-
ellis of his own Government, be-
ing in attendance at Yalta and
playing a vital part in making
the policies Of the Department
of State. 1t doesn't take many
Alger Kisses to pass out secret
papers to the Communists. 1t is
often argued that the disloyal
are few in number and that to
call attention to those declared
ineligible by the United States
Loyalty Review Board or to the
anonymous statistics of those
who quit under fire is to smear
the innocent by inference.

You wouldn't expect sophisticat-

You're probably wondering why

you'll understand when We explain
that Patti is an Irish Indian--and
wears her beaded ceremonial dress

eye-catching costume she wore
during her appearances with the
rodeo at Madison Square Garden.
incidentally, there's special
reason for PATHS wearing Of one
feather in her headdress. She ex-
plains that this indicates that she
is single. Two feathers in the head

many admiring chances. And
youngsters especially were intrigu
ed by the the fur braids she wore,
and the necklaces of real Indian
wampum.
Patti herself is cute as a button.
She looks like full blooded In
dian. Nevertheless, you'd know in
a minute that she's half Irish-her
smile and sense of humor are that
