Excerpts from ll.llIi'l1l£S of a loy-

February. made available yester-

of the State departmr~nts han-

gram.
One member at the board, Gar-
rett I-Ioag ef Boston. said the pro
erairi in the State department had
been "completely inetlect-ive." The
State departirient. he said, had the

Yesterday. Bingham said h

said he is under instructions from
the Civil Service commission not;
_to talk about operation of the
loyalty program in the various
governinent rlepartrnents. ! The review board is the topj!a.'ency under the program set up
lby President Truman in 1947 totweed disloyal employes out of the

thizers. The Democratic inajorityi

committee. after a. lengthy lnves-
tigation at 1950. dimrnsscd his
charges as "a fraud and a hoax.
McCarthy retorted that t.hc P1'Db£
iwas a. vi'hite.wash." The transcript of the loyalty
review board meetings supplied by
iMcCai'thy dealt largely with a
proposed change in the standard

that the standard be changed to
require only a reasonable doubt
-about an employe's loyalty. President Triiriiari issued an
order on April 2B last year putt
ithis hanize into effect.
Aeliesnn In Favor
Bingliam tnld the board in F -
Qruary that. the State department
was anxious to have the chanee;
made and that Acheson "was very
heartily in f-at-or of it."
He also said lie had been told
by many people in the eovernment
that if the change were made to
permit dismissals on the basis
of reasonable doubt of loyalty,
it will about double the number
of cases that can be thrown outy.

Release Held Unauthorized
McCarthy, on Saturday. re-leased what he described as;
excerpts from transcripts of;
Loyalty Review Board meetings
held on February 13 and 14 last
year. They showed that several
members were highly critical of
the State Department's handling
of its emnloyc loyalty program. 1
One re-percussion of that hasl
been that career diplomat Johnl
Stewart Service. ousted by the;
State Department after an ad-t

ing, has appealed to the Presi-

The Federal loyalty program is in peril until
the integrity of condential records of the Loy-
alty Review Board can be re-established. That
integrity has been compromised by Senator
McCarthys release to the three press ass-ocia~
Lions of reported excerpts-from a transcript o1
secret discussions of the board on February 13
and 14 of last year. Somebody on the board or
its sta leaked it to the Senator. This leak must
be found and plugged promptly, if the loyalty
program is to continue to function eectively
and to merit public condence. -
Ii the Loyalty Review Board cannot be sure
of the loyalty of its members and its staff, it is
in a. bad way. Secrecy oi. loyalty records is the
very keynote of the internal security structure.
It is that guarantee of secrecy which enables the
Federal Bureau of Investigation to participate
so iully in the program. The FBI cannot afford
to have the names of certain of its informants
revealed, or to disclose certain oi its investiga-
tive procedures or other information oi a classi-
ed nature. Furthermore, members oi the
Loyalty Review Board themselves will hesitate
to speak freely about loyalty problems-as they
did in the released transcript-if the threat oi
publication of their condential views continues
to hang over them. "
If the board itself cannot quickly nd the
disloyalty which seems to have invaded its own
domain, the FBI ought to be asked to conduct
a thorough investigation-for the protection not
only oi the FBI and the board but of eovcrn-4trnentiiwerri-by in general. l ---:- It ~_iW_ - s_a_ ___ ___Z Ft /

_ Lloyd was a target of Mc-
. Ca1thys charges in 1950. He said 1
lat that time that McCarthy had
simply r e vi ve d unfounded
charges against his loyalty which.
grew out of a 1947 report made
to a House committee.
Lloyd said last night that hr

1dye-fer!!! y Leaks "/J! It appcais that Senator McCarth_-y aa
direct pipeline lo the Loyalty Review Board.
The minutes of its executive meetings
seem to he available to him for the asking.
He is evidently privy to its les and has
ready access to condential correspondence
between its chairman and the White House.
Considering the delicacy of the business
Iin which the Loyalty Review Board is on-
gagerl. this leakage would be intolerable
in connection with any outsider. ln view
of Senator McCarthy's rlemonstratcd Iacl-:
of sci-uple in turnln_:and often twisting-
condential information to his own political
-advantage, it is peculiarly dangerous and
damaeing.
The use that Senator McCarthy has made
of the material divulged to him from within
the board is on a par with his exploded
name-calling in the past. l-Ic says that con-
dential les show John Stewart Serviceflived for two years with an épionage
agent . . . on the payroll oi the Soviet-
igovernmcnt." Considering the laxity with
which the Senator applies the term "espi-'
onage agent, this might well mean no more
than that he had lived for two years with
fGen. George C. Ma1sl1all. The "agent" is
not identied, the source of the story is
not disclosed, and no supporting evidence
whatever is offered.
J Similarly, Senator McCarthy declares that
' he was informed by at least two members"
oi the Loyalty Review Boardalso un-
identified--that a majority of the board felt
that if they had been able to order a dis-
charge for security reasons, Ambassador-
at-Large Philiyailessup would have been
discharged." These two members -it
they exist at all-are certainly not author-
ized to speak for the board, or to conjecture
about hypothetical decisions; and the board
51135 no authority, of course, to make judg-
ments outside the terms of the executive
order establishing the loyalty program.In the case of Dag?/Eloyd, a highly-re-;
spected special assis nt to the President,
the McCarthy technique was applied in a
peculiarly despicable way. Allegations con-
cerning Mr. Lloyd were made in 1950-
ihy Senator McCarthy. Because these allega-
jtions, wholly unsupported, were not con-
isidered sutiiciently substantial to warrant
zformal charges and a hearing, the Senator4

the FBI did have such reports.
Mr. Truman responded with aquestion: Does he cmecsnhyiiever tell the truth? And he adrierli

NAME-CALLING..
Sen. McCarthy R! of Wiscon-.
sin, whom President Truman yes-1
terday called a character assa.ssin.1
challenged Mr. Truman to stop!
"nanie-calling" and answer Mc-
Carthy's charges against a White]
House aide. l
McCarthy's retort came after,
lihe President assailed the senator
at a. White House news confer-
ence. Mr. Truman was asked to
comment on McCarthy's charge
Tuesday that loyalty board files
show Philleo Nash, 42. a presiden-5
tial assistant. had close contact
with the Communist underground
in the 19405. Nash has denied the
charge.
Mr. Truman said the charge,
against Nash was along the same,
line as all attacks made by Mr..
,MeCarl.hy on zovernment em-
lpioyes he does not like. .
A reporter asked Mr. Trumanl
if it is true. as McCarthy said,
that FBI reports in the secrctu
loyalty board files say Nash ass07!ciated with Communists. '
' ' Assails McCarthy
1 The President, putting a ques-
;tion himself. asked whether Mc-
Ca1'th.v ever tclls the truth. If he
ldoes, Truman added, he, the
President, has yet to hear of it.
The Chief Executive said Mc-
Carthy does not need information
to be a character assasin, because
that is his business. Mr. Truman
iaddcd that he was not talking
-fwith iniriiunity. This was an ob-
,vious reference to the immunity
from lawsuits that McCarthy and
iall members of Congress have
when speaking in Congress,
McCarthy told reporters later
that the tone of Mr. Trumans
remarks sounded like those used
by the President when Alger Hiss
was being exposed by the House
[till-Anlerican activities commit-
ltee.
The President once termed 9.
red. herring the charges that Hiss,is top State department official.

oi his loyalty.
Cites Unanswered Questions
"Instead of namecaliing," Mc-
Carthy said, The President
should answer several questions.
The questions, the senator said,
are:
"Did I properly quote from the
ioyalty ooaro records ion Nash}?
If not, where did I misquote? If
the President admits I properly
quoted from the loyalty board
hearings, why is he willing to
keep Nash on as an adviser?"
At his news confererace Mr.
Truman told a questioner it is
the privilege of the House judic-
iary committee to investigate At-
torney General McGrath and his
department's handling of tax
cases. Such an inquiry was voted
by the committee Tuesday.
The Presideiit said the com it-
tee can investigate anyone it92
wants to. Committee mem rs_
can investigate themseives if_they would like to, he added. y_

Odd Procedure in Loyalty Cases
Inconsistencies of State Department's Board Only Confuse i
And Make it Difficult to Understand Certain Decisions
There's som _H_Mz-
&%Am m@r
attitudes oi the Loyalty and
Security Board o1f__the__$_i.a.i,e
pL Inconsistencies ib ' T "DU lic angguncemen 5 ,8.!J.d.JIJ
exp aine rules have inagje__j_t
diicult to appraise just viii
¢ mum_ciE¬
Here. for example. is what one
member of the Presidents Loy-
alty Review Board said just a
year aeo in the course of a dis-
cussion about State Department
procedures:
On this loyalty business-
now. take the name omittedl
case. ivhere the record shows the
man was living over there with a
. . . woman who we know and
the record shows was under the
pay of the Russian government
. . . Arid you say that he can be
loyal, perfectly loyal to this
Government, and hes a safe
ernpioye for the State Depart-
ment, when we know that hes
living with a woman whos under
the pay of the Russian govern-
ment. but we are prohibited
from passing on that or nding
him disioyai?"
The rule then widely discussed
was changed to require dis-
missals in case of reasonable
doubt," but even after the
change, the diplomatic official
was "cleared" nevertheless by
the State Departments Loyalty
and Security Board. Such a
clearance is still incomprehensi-
ble. especially in view of the fact
that the evidence was not dis-
puted by the emllloye.
Then there's another case in
which a member of the Presi-
dents Loyalty Review Board
raised a question concerning a
man whose wife was a Commu-
nist. Could the man be loyal to
his Government and to his wife
at the same time?
Still another case concerns an
individual who was ordered dis-
""_li'liss!d by the State Depart-rment's Loyalty and Security
Board. but there are rumors
that some persons inside the
department held a grudge
against him. Instead of dismiss-
ing him. Secretary Acheson re-
versed the department's board
and allowed the man to resien.
Whether this was or was not
justicd is something that will
never be known because no ex-
planation was ever issued to the
public. The fact that the State
Department's own board had
ruled against the man was with-
held from the press, and only the
fact that he had resigned and
had been "cleared" by the State
Department was ever iormally
revealed.

it would seek her grand jury;
testimony. It was informed;

BY WILLARD EDWARDS
The Truman Administrations
aecret harassment of a middle-'
med woman government emriloye,
suspected of airing information
on communism in government,
its brought to light yesterday.
For long months, star chamber
Irillings and federal grand jury-
inquisitlons were employed in ani
attempt to terrorize Miss Miriam
M. Deliaas, 52. of Ill!-G 16th St;
NW. When she stood firm in re-i
I115:-I to admit any rlerclirtion all
duty, che was suspended Sept 15-
wlthout Dar.
These ruthless methods of 1
timidation followed suspicion,
ported to lack 9. foundation of ev
dence, that Miss Dcaas "leaked"-
lnformation to unauthorized per-
Ions from the files oi the loyalty
review board where she is em-,j
nloi-ed as an examiner. ;
I-lad Contacts With FBI l
The fury of the executive do-é
partment against the lone woman
employs was intensified when al-
legations were made that Miss
Deaas had assisted in the ex-
nosure of Loro-communistic affilia-
tions of two White House aides.
Undaunted by repeated interro-
rations, delivered in a threaten-l
Hz manner, Miss De!-lass he-.~""

point not determined.

Miss Deliaas has testified freely!
and at great length before a fed--
oral grand jury but has refusedl
in disclose the nature of this
secret evidence unless a courtlautliorizes it and all the testimonyi
before the jury is made pu|::iic,lnot just portions of it. l
The civil service commission,
has petitioned for n court DllIlll'l_
making public only the grand]
jury testimony of Miss Dc!-laas.r
Thru her attorney Daniel J. An-l
derson, she has filed objections?
unless the above specifications are '
met. The petition is set for argu~
ment before United States Dis-
trict Judge Matthew F. McGuire
on Oct. '2. .
If all the grand jury testimony!
is released, it is reported, persons-l
of influence in the Truman ad-i

When the evidence becomes
overwhelming against them. muni-
ure permitted to rcslu without

seek jobs in some other federal
agency or to pursue employment
in private industry with no record

There was a great furore in gov-

of McCarthys information. The
authenticity oi his report wnsinever questioned by the board. 1

According t/o her own memory
or the questioning, Miss Del-laas
says she continued with remarks
about the codciling of Commu-

which do not appear in the tran-
script led in court.
"I quoted the loyalty review
board regulation," she recalls.
These specify that personscharged with Communist sympa.-;1thies, associations or membership;should be told that ihey need not!
answer any questions or reply to

mumsm. Ji
The regulations provide furtherthat persons charged with pro-;
communism, Communist ,pax-tymembership and so iorth, shouldlnot be personally contacted by
anyone in the agency but onlylin writing and that they shouldbe fully informed oi their rights;to have an attorney or represents.-;tive present when they did ap-l

.AND..;1HEY HOWL AEQl.L'i.. -.
McCARTHYISM"
Willard Edwards has recounted for Time.-
Herald readers the experience of it womarf
civil service employe of the federal loyalty
{review board who has been harassed by her
superiors over a period of months. Thisl
woman. Miss Miriam DoHaa.§. has been
hauled before a federal grand jury twice andf
interrogated at great length. tho there is not
suggestion she committed any crime. and has!
been brow-hselen in star chamber sessions byl
the chief investigator of the civil service com- l
mission. l
This persecution began after Sen. McCar-i
thy of Wisconsin last January released some
minutes of the loyalty review hoard which
proved most embarrassing to the State de
partrnent. The minutes showed that members
of the hoard. talkinc among themselves, had l
noted the peculiarity that the department.
sltho under almost constant attack as a
haven ior Soviet sympathiacrs. had never
red anybody on loyalty grounds.
There was no proof that Miss Del-laas ever .
had any declines with Sen. McCarthy or,
turned over unauthorized information to himl
or anyone else. _1n the course of her work.l
she also handled loyalty files rcferrine to oi
number of persons prominent in the Admin-I
lstration, among thcmnremhers of the WhlteiHouse staff and State department. In thug
absence of a. better suspect, the Administra-
tion seems to have singled out Miss De!-Ia-as
to make an example of her and to frighten
others. nltho it hasnever proved the silght¢
est indiscretion against her. she has been sus-_
pended irorn her civil service position v-ith=
out pay.
The civil service rules contain clear regu-
of employes brought up on charges. They are
. tiflori tn nnfino of hearine. written charges. ns. -nu-vs. -~ H-~_.._ -_ _-_._ .-, _lstlons governing the procedures in hearings
ladvice ot counsel. fair and courteous hear-v
lngs. appeals. and oth-tr protections. none of -
which was accorded Miss Del-laas.
She was hauled before the chief of the
commission; investigations division. Col.
James E. I-Iatcher. without previous notice,
was without counsel, confronted by no writ-
ten charge. and was catechizcd in what she
described as a belligerent and discourteousll
manner. when the transcript or this inter-
'view was released at her insistence. it co
taint-d deletions and showed extensive editing,
she said. vs.----I1
' ~- ;
l- .-__,__I
Y
-.-Ihuaaalter Miss Dellaas was ta l
before the grand jury in conncction with]
what purported to be an inquiry into the re-
lease of confidential documents to un:=.uthor-
ized persons. There is more than a suggestion!
that the executive branch of the government t'
sought to use the grand jury as a means of
intimidating the witness.
Miss Defiaas herself has compared these
high-handed proceedings with the protection-
the loyalty review board has thrown about:
suspected Communist agents and sympa-',
thizers by its own rules. They are given public
hearings. have advice of counsel. are model
fully aware of the charccs against them and l" 1
are advised of their right to refuse to answer;
iquestions.
lhe Administration and its propagandists
nave raised s crest noise over the supposed.
lniquities of "Met-arthyism in which sun-
posedly innocent rncn are unjustly attacked
without the right to defend themselves. Sen.
McCarthy has demonstrated that this clamor
ls politically inspired and that he has not
resorted to indiscriminate abuse of suspected
persons.
It Sen. McCarthy doesnt practice McCa
lhll'1Sm." who does? The answer seems clearl,_
3 be that the Truman administration. with
ts_third degree in closed rooms. does. '
