Security Subcommittee.
The lengthy statement. writ
ten July ~ in the Federal
Penitentiary at Lewisburg, Pa.
was described as a supplement
to Colds testimony at a pub
lie hearing of the subcom-
mittee last year.
In it he describes the TECH
niques which he says were used
to make him feel justified in
the industrial espionage he
carried on for the Soviets for
IL years from 1895 to 1915.
One of the arguments used,
Gold says, was that "If the
Nazi triumphs. the Jews are
done. Anything that
strengthens the Sovit Union
helps save the Jews"
This was in reality the big
drive that kept me SO reso-
lutely working on espionage, {"
he said.

esteem. Another device. he says.
was to get him to start in a

needed thorough subcommittee

leaders generally don't like the
bill. They feel a far more
satisfactory bill can be worked
out if Congress waits until next
year and develops legislation
more in harmony with the
Wright Commissions proposals.
They are particularly un-
happy about extending the
program to nonsensitive jobs
while not extending all Of the
safeguards proposed by the
Wright group.
Employee leaders, however,
concede the bill is an improve
ment over the original measure
before the House group which
would have extended the secu-
rity program to nonsensitive
jobs without providing any
procedural safeguards.
Under the committees bill.

character defects, etc., would
be handled under regular civil

cases would be removed on

labeled security risks" Veter-
ans would have the right Of APP

In these cases.
The bill provides that only
in loyalty-type cases involving
"a threat TO the national secur-
ity shall agencies fire employees
under security procedures,
And in such cases. both VET
Grams and non-veterans would
have appeal rights to the Civil
Service Commission. The CSC's
decision with respect to the APP
peal would be binding on the
department or agency head.
The measure also would
allow an agency to retain an
employe pending a hearing on
security charges. instead of
having to suspend him sum-
marily as Is now the case. The

merely provides the permits
