Wide Overhaul Asked
On EmpIoye Security
New Central
Loyalty Unit
Is Proposed
BY CECIL HOLLAND

A drastic overhaul Of the Gov
|ernment's security system and
the adoption by Congress and
the Federal judiciary Of similar
programs, was recommended yes
terday by the bipartisan conn
mission on government security.
In an 8O0-page report the COM
mission said its recommends
tons, If adopted. would enhance
the protection afforded by the
security setup while substantial
ly increasing the protection Of
the individual"
Completing Is months Of
study. the 12-member commits
sion proposed as q major recon-
mendation the creation Of q new
and independent agency to be
known as the Central Security
Office. It would coordinate
security programs within the
Executive branch, conduct hear
ings in loyalty cases and give
advisory decisions to the heads
Of departments and agencies.
Central Board Proposed
The commission also rec
commended a central review
board within the office to hear
appeals from decisions by the
heads Of agencies. At present
there is no appeal from such
decisions.
The commission described the
Eisenhower administrations Sc

of suitability, loyalty and Sc
curity programs" 1t recommen.
ded separation Of loyalty prob
lens from those Of suitability
and security and emphasized:
IAN loyalty cases are security
cases. but the converse is not
true. A man who talks too freely
when in his cups. or Q pervert

be security risks although both
may be loyal Americans"
All have been Jumped into the
security risk" Category under
the Eisenhower program. This
has been q major source Of
criticism Of the existing system.
with accusations that the adj
minstration was playing "a mum.
ber's game"
Other Recommendation
In other major recommended
tons in its report to President
Eisenhower and the administra-
ton, the commission proposed:
/. The right of cross-examina-
ton and conformation for per-
sons accused of disloyalty except
in cases where conformation
would expose the Governments
paid undercover agents.
2. Legislation to make admis.
sihle in court evidence of sub

Such overlapping would be per-
mitted only on specific authors

This will save these employees
from the unjust stigma Of dis
loyalty" the report declared.
1t Is estimated that at least
80 per cent Of the cases under
the present security program In
volved issues other than actual
disloyalty to this country.
Under the commissions pro-
posal. all such cases would be
handled under the regular civil
service suitability program, which
also involves dismissals on such
grounds as ineficiency, insub-
ordination. character defects,
etc.
Separate Handling Urged
The commission proposed that
only disloyalty charges be han
died separately from civil service
suitability.
The loyalty cases would be
handled by a proposed inde-
pendent agency-the Central Sc
|curity once. This agency would
provide a three-man review board
to hear appeals from adverse
agency actions In such cases.
At present there is no appeal
beyond the department or agency

nee for the ONCE at this time.
Mr.. Gilmer's withdrawal was
brought about by charges by the
Virginia Association Of Life I'm
derwriters that he used his posi-
ton as United States Attorney
for the Western District Of vir-
ginia In 1853 to promote sale Of
insurance policies for an out-of-
State firm.
Too Late to Get Name on Ballot
Specifically, he was accused Of
writing letters indorsing certain
policies which agents used, and
in return getting paid as a resi-
dent director Of the firm.
Since the filing deadline for
the Democratic primary was
April 10. it is too late to get Mr..
Gilmer's name on the ballot. He
was unopposed in the primary.
and ofiicially was the party's
nominee. The listing Of his name
on the ballot was merely a for
mality,
The Democratic Party must
now pick a candidate for the
office Of attorney general by some
other method.

home in Pulaski. Mr.. Gilmer said

Practice Called Uncthical
The life underwriters at the
same time made public q ruling
of the State Bars Committee ON
Ethics about the propriety Of an
attorney serving o life insurance
company in the relationship Of
resident director" - the post
Mr.. Gilmer held ct the time he
wrote the letter.
The committee said the prac-
tice was unethical in that such
an attorney-there was no one
named in the ruling-would be
selling his services of his in
fiuence.

Mr.. Wicker, who apparently

Juan, you ought to see what

Mr.. Wicker said he was not
aware Of a falling sensation
when he went over the falls.
"All I knew was that I was
in some pretty terrible water"
he said. Several times ! tried
desperately to grab onto rocks.
I have a definite recollection Of
banging into them. I gave one
a good thump with my head and

He said the current swept him
near the shore where he was
rescued.
Mr.. Wicker said "the only

said.

Mr.. Maeztu, who lives at 1920

they started their canoe trip al

the brink.
Mr.. Maeztu chung to a rock
about 30 yards from the Virginia

BY JOHN M. HIGHTOWEl

Thousands Of the American
military men stationed in foreign
lands will be coming home as a
result Of q global review Of de-
Tense needs, 1t became clear
yesterday.
The decision announced Fri
day night to remove all combat
ground forces from Japan Ia
Ionly a starter-part Of q far
flung pattern.
Oficials said they do not yet
know exactly how the world
wide study viii work out in the
long run. But there was no
denying the fact that American
commitments abroad, as ex-
pressed in numbers Of men sta
toned in foreign lands and the
amount Of foreign territory put
to American use. are being
steadily curtailed.
The operation is being car
ried out. officials said, in such q
way as to accord as fully as
possible with the wishes Of allied
governments and yet avoid any
vital reduction In free world
defensive strength. At the same
time It must conform to tighten
ling American Government
budget requirements.
Questions Up for Debate

tons. How well plans now being
