Marquis Childs reports the ERP requires about 300 US staff and 300 abroad to start, with a three month grace before loyalty checks. The loyalty clause remains a major hurdle as the secretary or administrator may need to personally certify each employee’s loyalty, prompting congressional concern over accountability and confidence.
The ERP Act requires a personal loyalty guarantee from the top administrator, not delegated to assistants. John E. Peurifoy faces legal limits as his adviser notes the secretary cannot rely on an aide. The task would overwhelm two already busy leaders, while the FBI bears a growing workload to vet hundreds of thousands of employees.
Postmaster William Jenne announced that chain letters may not be sent through the U S mail. In the past month numerous postal cards with chain letter material were stopped and destroyed. The items exchanged through the chain involve dowels tea towels wash cloths and similar articles.
The Budget Bureau reduced the FBI budget from 50 million to about 43 million, cutting 413 agents on July 1. FBI staff currently work six days a week while other workers run a five day week, amid congressional back and forth that strains efficiency and fuels a cycle of loyalty investigations. The piece notes a hypothetical agency XYZ caught between a committee and the FBI, widening workload and distrust. The cabinet's first president included four secretaries: state, war, treasury, and attorney general.
Stassen wrapped up a Nebraska primary campaign with voters, handshakes, and Q and A while seven Republicans compete in the free-for-all.

The Mouse Armed Services committee opens a draft bill proposing a two year draft for ages 19 to 25 with veterans having one year’s service exempt. It differs from Forrestal and administration plans on age to register and service thresholds, while aiming to expand the armed forces to a 70 group air force. Other items include approval requests for Navy and Air Force aircraft contracts and stricter anti‑espionage actions amid communist concerns.
