!. There were reports that
during the June II rebellion
the native German East
army was restless and unreli-

tanks and infantry had to be
sent from Potsdam to East

set aside and use some Of the

other is to have private agen-
cies negotiate with recipient

done successfully, for pay

can afford in dollars and in
local currency. Then there
are contributions from our
people who have already been
so generous with CARE and

Defends Stand Loyalty Cases
Administration Resists Public Airing Of Doto on
U. S. EMPLOYEES Separoted for Security Reasons
Dovid lawrence

The Eisenhower adminiStra-
ton is 100 per cent right in re-
Sisting thel campaign UNDER
taken by some Trumanite
newspaper writers to force .
public disclosure Of the nature
of the 1900 cases involving
employees who in the last IL
months have been separated
from Government service for
security reasons.
The attempt Is significant
because 1t comes from the So
called liberal" group which Is
Usually the first to denounce
"smearing" tactics and Char
acter assassination"
Originally, the Truman adj
ministration set up q loyalty
and security program in two
categorieS - those employees
who for loyalty reasons would
be declared ineligible to remain
in Government service and
those who for reasons of Sc
curity would be allowed to
resign or be discharged.
Many Of the cases in the
''loyalty" class got into the
newspapers anyhow despite eff
forts to keep such procedures
confidential but initially there
was no publicity given out
about individual security cases.
It was generally conceded that.
II a man was dismissed for
loyalty" or security" reasons
and his name was revealed. his
reputation for life would be
injured.
When the Eisenhower ad-
ministration came into power
It decided to try to avoid such
q formal characterization as
"disloyalty" except in cases in
volving actual espionage or
treason. So all doubtful cases
were ordered to be investigated
under one general heading
security" The broad term was
to be used to cover all types of
security risks.
This method was designed to
protect the individual especi-
ally since it was frankly an

will be for the names or the
facts. If these are refused,
then will come leaks as to
their identity or the nature Of
a few individual cases and the
administration will promptly
be accused Of character as
SaSsination."
The so-called liberals"
can't have 1t both ways-they
cannot insist that innocent
persons shall not be smeared
and yet be parties themselves
to a process which inevitably
must lead to disclosure of all
the sordid facts about some Of
those employees in the Govern
ment who have done improper
things either in their repeated
contacts with Communist SYM
pathizers or who may become
potential security risks in the
future because of personal hab-
its involving abnormal behav-
Tor in the past. It Is the future
rather than the deeds Of the
past which usually excite ap-
prehension about q security
risk.
The Eisenhower administra-
ton sees no good cause to be
served by giving out the exact
number of homosexuals. the
exact number of drunkards.
and the exact number of per-
sons about whom there is rea-
sonable doubt as to their future
loyalty. After all. the quest
for percentages is spurious on
it's face anyway. For it takes
only one Alger Hiss out of
10000 employees in the State
Department. only one Harry
Dexter White out of many
thousands Of employees in the
Treasury Department. and only
one Klaus Fuchs in the entire
atomic-energy project to in
jure the United States Govern
ment. It is a small percentage
statistically but nobody prob
ably will ever know how many
undetected contacts they had
inside our Government to carry
on their work for the cause Of
Soviet Russia.

the past 1t has helped with dis
tribution of limited amounts of
our SURPRISES. It is ready to
help with the bigger job now
planned.
In an exhaustive analysis
of the surplus distribution
problem, CARES Executive
Director, Paul Comfy French,
has outlined for the admins
tration and Congress the hur-
dies that will be confronted
and suggested ways to get past
them. AS a matter of policy,
we cannot distribute the sur
pluSes in q way that will harm

agricultural trade, or exports
Of our allies, or that will de-
press agricultural prices in the
country where the food goes.
That, in fact, Is specified al
ready in the Mutual Security
Act.
There are also obstacles in
financing distribution, among
them, the inability Of dollar
short countries to pay freight
costs from points of storage
in the United States to the
seaboard for shipment, OF
to handle reprocessing costs
where reproceSsing is neces-
sary for perishable items. or

istrative costs. There are,
however. q number Of coun-
tries which can supply their
own ships to transport sur
pluses to Their own lands.
To get our SURPRISES where
they are needed and without
interfering with established
trade and markets, the CARE
survey has suggestions Of
value. It recommends that

It is also part of the American
credo that the family-3ize farm

The tragic irony is that
