Loyalty program marks three years with firings and investigations
The Nation Today reports the loyalty program reaching three years this month. Since 1947, 182 of 2,000,000 government employees were fired for disloyalty and 2476 quit while under FBI investigation or awaiting decisions. Senators McCarthy and Malone criticize the setup as insufficient while the program’s review boards operate, with 134 rehired after appeals. The FBI examined 11,619 employees in total. The Senate Foreign Relations Committee opened a subcommittee inquiry into McCarthy’s claims of remaining communist influence.
