Army bars Communists from atomic and radar roles
The War Department ordered that Communists and other subversive personnel be barred from sensitive duties tied to atomic energy and radar. The move targets access to secret matters and excludes them from officer training and flight programs. The policy follows a congressional push and comes after a report of a Russian spy ring allegedly seeking U S atom secrets. The Tokyo Stars and Stripes staff reshuffle tied to suspected Communist leanings.
