Former Senator Questions Need for Loyalty Program
Former Senator Harry P. Cain attacks the Eisenhower administration’s loyalty security program before a Senate Judiciary subcommittee. He cites cases including an ex-GI who lost a Red Cross job and questions the program’s necessity. The Defense Department says the Red Cross offered to rehire the veteran Irving I. August. Bills by Mundt Eastland and McCarthy aim to extend security coverage to all federal positions. Relatives of eight soldiers accuse authorities of pressuring for less than honorable discharges over preservice activities. Soldiers are stationed at Fort Dix.
