U.S. GOVERNMENT SECURITY
Programme To Be Investigated (Rec. 10 p.m.)
WASHINGTON, February 21. The Senate voted to give its Civil Service Committee 150,000 dollars for a full investigation of President Eisenhower’s loyalty-security programme. Democrats have claimed that some members of the Republican Administration have been making political capital by creating the impression that all the 8000 Government workers dismissed under the programme were “security risks’’ taken on by previous Democratic Administrations.
Approval of the funds for the investigation was temporarily blocked in the Senate Rules Committee several weeks ago by Senator Joseph McCarthy. Senator McCarthy has been feuding with Senator Olin Johnston (Democrat, South Carolina), who is chairman of the Civil Service Committee and a bitter critic of the security programme.
