Should the Subversive Activities Control Board be replaced
Editorial argues for a loyalty and security program overhaul replacing the Subversive Activities Control Board with a broader employee loyalty commission. It criticizes the 1950 act and Executive Order No. 10450 as flawed and calls for standard personnel screening rather than a separate agency, noting over time threats have shifted from monolithic communism to diverse radicals. The piece advocates prudent, common-sense hiring safeguards without an extra costly bureaucracy.
