Washington Post reports purge of perverts from government
The Washington Post said about 200 government employees had names turned over to their agencies for action after a purge of homosexuals from government rolls began. The FBI provided names to the civil service commission, which then passed them to employers for appropriate action. A commission official said the FBI reporting to the commission is routine. The Post noted departments had fired 91 persons for sexual perversion over several years, while police count 3000 known perverts in the city, a figure dismissed by officials as exaggerated. Thousands of housewives are warned about door-to-door sales fraud in a teaser for a feature in The American Weekly.
