idea is that no one should
be charged publicly with dis
loyalty, or with being a secu-
rity risk. unless the charge can
be proven
On December 13. 1858, in a
radio speech, Attorney General
Herbert Brownell stated that
he believed that all Federal
employees suspected of Commu-
mist tendencies have been dis
missed. Since then. however,
the number of security risks
has grown from 1,456 to $500,
and now to 5000. Are we to
conclude that the Eisenhower
administration has added 4.500
subversives to the Federal pay
roll since Brownell said they
had all been cleaned out?
The Senate Civil Service
Committee followed up its
questioning of Mr.. Young with
letters to certain heads of
United States departments and
agencies asking for specific
numbers of Communists. sub
versives and others removed as
security risks.
Following are the amazing
results of the tabulations of
the replies received:
Communists removed: None.
Subversives fired: None.
The replies received estab-
lished conclusively that the
State Department. which in
previous releases claimed al
most 500 security risks" re-
moved, had in fact fired no
Communists or subversiveS.
Moreover, that over 800 of the
so-called risks had transferred
to other Government agencies
or departments. (No one knows
how many times they have
been subsequently counted as
they transferred from job to
job.)
The Treasury Department
could furnish no information
on persons removed but talked
Of merely files removed: that
contained some questionable"
information. The Labor De-
partment stated that they fired
no Communists or subversives,
although they had suspended
two persons as subversives who
were subsequently reinstated.
Apparently they weren't ready
to resign or retire!
General Services Admins
tration. which had claimed
over 800 security risks re-
moved. reported no Commu-
nists or subversives fired under
GIlC AlCW PLOSi dill.
In its testimony before a
congressional appropriations
committee, one Government
department admitted that out
of its total of "security-risk
removals" reported for the
period through December 81,
1853. 33 of its rs had been
persons appointed by the new
administration.
It was obvious from the re-
plies that the "derogatory in
formation" referred to as be-
ing in the files had not been
of sufficient Importance to
cause removal from Govern
ment service. They had merely
been labeled security risks"
after they had voluntarily re-
signed from Government serv-
ice. and had they not chosen
to resign voluntarily would

partment pay rolls.

pressive to the layman,' Mr..
Campbell declared. 1T would
have been much less impressive,
of course, if he had said that
the raise to classified employees
would amount to approximately
one cent out of every budget
dollar. We would suggest that
Mr.. Summerfield consider the
tremendous savings that could
be accomplished by reducing the
costly turnover of civil service
personnel.
THE irrefutable facts and fig

has been slipping steadily down

answered by Mr.. Sommerfield.
Personally. we feel that a

grounds of fair treatment a lot
