Treasury officials informed the House Appropriations Committee that of 130 security dismissals or resignations in 1953, four were deemed disloyal under standards since scrapped. Acting security chief Elbert Puttel noted not all security ratings imply disloyalty, and a “rugged individual” with an Iron Curtain connection could receive a dangerous rating. A separate Customs report showed six security dismissals among 8,000 employees.
