Safeguards for Employees.
Mr.. BroWnell emphasized that
the new "employe security" pro-
gram will provide safeguards for
employees as we'll as measures to
protect the Nations interest.
Discussing the proposed for
nation of the inter-departmental
watchdog group, predicted in a
story in The Star in February,
he asserted:
This same group will be re-
quired to make certain that
there are no tendencies to deny
to individual employees their
fair. impartial and equitable
treatment, or rights under the
Constitution and laws or under
the executive order itself.
In order to assure fair, i'm
partial and equitable treatment,
the President is calling on the
Civil Service Commission to
establish, with the assistance of
the department and agencies, a
procedure whereby diSintereSted
persons will serve as members
Of security hearing boards when
and where needed.
Such hearing boards will be
of three or four persons, none
of whom will be associates of
the individual in the department
or agency employing the person
whose case is to be heard,
1T will be required that all
departments and agencies make
available for service as members
of such boards persons in their
employ who possess the highest
degree of integrity, ability and
good Judgment"
NOn-Reds Also Risks.
The Attorney General said
those deemed security risks are
not only Communists and Com
munist sympathizers but all who
would engage in activities harm
full to the interests of the Ma
ton.
They are also" he said, "those
whose behavior, activities or as
sociations tend to show that the
individual is not reliable or trust
worthy. Also in the category
are those who deliberately engage
in Misrepresentation, falsifica-
tlonS or omissions of material
facts in any statements they
might make.
They are also those who are
dishonest, immoral OF who en-
gage in notoriously disgraceful
conduct or use intoxicants to ex-
cess. And then there are those
with financial responsibility
who, like the others. are certain
ly bad security risks"
Mr.. Brownell said that the new
program is not intended to weed
out inefficient employees. He said
that is a matter which must be
considered under other tradi-
tional Government procedures.
He said the administration would
not use the security program to
eliminate those believed not
carrying their share of the load.
He added:
Let me emphasize that it is
unnecessary to apply the security
test for there are other fair and
impartial ways of meeting this
problem of suitability"
