Speaking on the subject OF
1.-THE Governments Difficulties
With Our Security Program"
was Mr.. Joseph Volpe. jr.. for
mer general counsel for the
Atomic Energy Commission.
Mr.. Volpe said the Govern
ment today has allowed the
difficult and complicated"
problem Of carrying on a secu-
rity program to be handled
by people whose talents and
background are inadequate for
the job.
I'VE have come to rely too
much on the professional secu-
rity officers, he said, To-day
the security officer IS almost
the final word on whether a
person is or is not a good
security risk"
Among the cooperating or
CARNATIONS which aided the
league in arranging last
nights meeting were the Dis
trict chapters Of the Ameri-
can Association Of University

Human Rights. Americans for
Democratic Action, American

ance, All Souls Church, and

in last nights program indi-
Gated they had never lent their
name to the event. Among
them were: The American
Legion, District Board Of
Trade, District Women's Bar
Association, District PTA, and
the District YWCA.
A spokesman for the Amer
lean Legion said the original
report stating that the Legion
would participate was entirely
without foundation. He ex-
planned that literature to be
distributed after the meeting
was partially financed by the
Ford Foundations Fund for
the Republic which. he said,
was not in keeping with the
Legion's policy.
The head Of another group
said that she felt her organi-
zation had no right in taking
part in the Freedom Forum
meeting. She added that she
was dubious" of some Of the

tions but otherwise compute the
tax as if a joint return had been
filed provided:
/. The husband or wife died
during either of the two preced-
ing taxable years of the survivor;
