Federal anti poverty agency bars staff with disloyalty
The Office of Economic Opportunity issued new personnel guidelines barring staff and board members who lack sympathy with the programs goals or who have disloyalty or crimes of moral turpitude. The rules target about 675 community action agencies and stress loyalty, good character, and potential security checks while leaving definitions to local interpretation. The move, urged by deputy director Bernard Boutin, aims to curb subversive ties and ensure only responsible personnel serve on governing bodies and staff in local anti poverty efforts.

Boutin role cited in new personnel guidelines formation
In the Herald Journal, officials were reticent about Boutin's part in shaping ten year old personnel guidance. Grossman noted a few people accused of communism in community action agencies but said no single case drove the new rule changes. He added top agency staff are kept informed on matters with significant party involvement.
