Furthermore, said the cam
paigning Vice President. the
Communists "know that Demo-
cratic National Chairman
Stephen A. Mitchell has told the
American people that q Demo-
cratic Congress should and would
go back to the Truman policies. !"
MIR. Nixon said those policies led,
among ether things, ito the loss
OF 600 million people to the Com

Korean War"
Mr.. Nixon, in a speech pre-
pared for q Republican rally ia

files OF the Eisenhower security
program to support his statement
that the Truman program "cov-
cred up and cleared the Commu-
nists and the security risks" and
the Eisenhower program cleaned
up and fired them"
Doesn't Name Workers.
He did not name the Govern
ment employees involved but re-
ferred to them simply as case

ploye A. B, c. etc.
He added that the Communist
Party knows that for the first
time in 20 years it. has met in
the Eisenhower administration
"an enemy who knows what they
are up to and has the ability and
will to destroy their conspiracy"
Mr.. Nixon said that if the peo-
pie want the Federal service to
be kept clean and loyal the only
sure way to achieve it is to elect
q "pro-Eisenhower Republican
Congress.
Outlines IL Cases.
Saying he recognized "these
conclusions will sound harsh,"
Mr.. Nixon said the record backs
up every charge he has made.
He then enumerated the IL
leases" which. he said, included
employees kept on the payroll
under Mr.. Truman despite Sc
curity records showing Commu-
mist connections and associa-
tions.
For example, he listed an
"Employe c." who he said was |
appointed to q Government job
in 1887. whose security file
showed he was a member Of the
Young Communist League during
1868 and attended Communist
Party classes. Mr.. Nixon said
the record also showed the
worker for a number of years
was a "dues-paying member of
the Communist Party" yet the
Truman loyalty board cleared
him for Government employ
ment."
This employees case was re-
viewed under the Eisenhower
security program" said Mr..
Nixon, "and after hearings be-
lore a security board he was
unanimously held to be Va Sc
;urity risk, and he has been fired
from his Government job"
Fired After . Clearances.

gram after two hearings in 1949
and 1851. The case was reviewed

nunist organizations, associa-
lions with the Rosenbergs (elec-
trocuted atom spies) and con-
cealing the true facts concerning
mis- associations with the Rosen-
oergs and afflliation. with Com
nunist organizations"
Mr.. Nixon said on the basis
of these shocking cases, I say
hat the American people, re-
yardless of their party affilia-
ions, will reach the conclusion
hat the Truman administration
"a dealing with the Communist
conspiracy in the United States

u criminal negligence"
