Spur Stool Pigeons,
Senate Probe Told
By [. Edaor Primo


The CLIO said today that the
Governments security programs
are threatening to make the
United States a nation Of stool

Thomas E. Harris. associate
general counsel Of the labor or
ganization told Senators that an
industrial security QUESTIONABLE
requires a worker ito inform on
all his associates. including his
relatives.
He referred TO questions about
membership In organizations

the worker must not only answer
for himself but must name any
other members of such q group
with whom he has associated
during the last f1ve years.
Questions Danger
'Is our Government really in
sucn grave danger of overthrow
from within that we must be-
come a nation of stool pigeons?"
he asked.
The CLIO testimony was re-
leased prior to Mr.. Harris tes-
timony today before a Senate
Government Operations sub
committee which is considering
a bill calling for creation Of an
independent commission on
Government security.
Mr.. Harris charged that some
employers have used the security
program to fire workers they
wished to get rid of for other
reasons.
He said this was done by re-
questing clearances for these
persons although they did not in
fact have access to classified in
formation.
Urges Restrictions
The witness recommended that
the security program be related
only to sensitive jobs. He noted
that 1t now applies not only to
