Sen. Wiley of Wisconsin urged a UN showdown to determine if the United Nations can fire American employees whose loyalty to the United States is questioned. He cited the UN General Assembly’s power to reverse an administrative tribunal ruling that 11 Americans were illegally discharged for refusing to answer loyalty questions. Dag Hammarskjold said four would not be rehired but damages and back pay totaling over 135000 would be paid to the others. Wiley criticized the decision and warned it could harm American regard for the UN.
