Truman Moves to Oust Subversives Across Federal Service
President Truman announced a sweeping drive to purge subversives from the government. He ordered the FBI to check 2,300,000 federal workers, required loyalty probes for new merit system hires, and directed agency heads to vet non merit applicants. New Loyalty Review Boards were created to review possible dismissals, with heightened loyalty standards across military and civilian personnel. The action follows a government study linking espionage and Communist party activity to threats against the federal government.
