Loyal Security Risks
"A man who talks too freely
while in his cup," the report
stated, ? "and a pervert who is
vulnerable to blackmail, are both
security risks, although both
may be loyal Americans."
Under the comission's recom-
nendation, sensitive agencies ob-
serving Civil ? Service Comls-
sion procedures would ? decide on
security risks. But, the report
I said, 'loyal security risks"
I should' have the opportunity to
1 be transferred into Government
posts that are not sensitive.
The absence of any procedures
for confronting and cross-exam-
ifling accusers has been a sore
point in present procedurs for
screening out disloyal persons
from Government employment.
The Department of Justice and
its Federal Bureau of Investiga-
tion have held steadfastly that
to expose informantsto the pub-
licity f confrontation. would dry
up sources of tips about subver-
sive activity. -
The proposa' to give defend-
ants a chance to see and ques-
tion their accusers would be re-
garded, generally, as a major
step in protecting 'individual
rights." However, the commis-
sion did not go all the way. Un-
der its plan, someone would have
to decide when informants could
be brought forward "wTthout en-
dangering the national security."
At a news conference, Mr.
Wright indicated that the new
Central Security Office would
not have this authority, and that
it probably would be up to the
agency holding the derogatory
information to ? decide on bring-
ing forward those who supplied
it.
Criticism From MeGranery
The first criticism of the pro-
posal for the new agency came
from a member of the commis-
sioli. James P. McGranery, a
Democrat, who served as Attor-
ney General in the latter months
-f the Truman Administration,
,a1d in a dissent that no problem
- - - ved 12y "shifting pri-
- ecutive reson5ifl1t'
from officials responsible to "im-
Sed -administrative creations."
But Mr. Wright argued at his
news conference that the present
security program as it involved
Government employes could not
e "uniformly" administered.
Different agencies handled cases
by varyingstandards and meth-
ods by people with varying ski1l
and temperament.
It had happened, lie said, that
persoas were found to be "dis-
loyal" in one department and
':oya1" in another.
On classified documents, the
commission emphasized that
dangers to national security
could arise from "overclas ?
tion" (ti:tiDns
- which retards scie?t[fic
and technological progress." As
a step toward "declassification,"
It recommended abolis the
"confidential" ca e ory now in
Secret Classifications Kept
The iigher degree of "secret"
and ' 'top secret" classifications
would remain.
However, the commission said
the penalty for disclosing infor-
mation that remained classified,
sliould be stiffer-to include per-
sons
ernment service, ' and who are
to criminal
statutes.
The recommendation would
make it a crime for anyone to
disclose "secret" or "top secret"
information "knowing or having
reasonable grounds to ? believe,
such information to have been
so classified." -
In -a statement appended to
the report as it Was going to
press, Mr. Wright said "the re-
sponsibilities of the public press
assumed a heightened signifi-
canoe" to national security.
He said that newspa ermen
"with near unanimity'. a Ob-
served 'conscientiously' the
proper limits of disclosing infor-
mation. But, he added, "there
are a few exceptional cases,
wjiieh for ,some reason have es-
cped prosecution."
The twelve-member commis-
said its study had shown
present loyalty - security ' pro-
grams for Government employes
to be a hodge-podge, "sorely try-
ing" public co?ifidence, arid caus-
ing fear and unrest in Govern-
ment ranks. Results were n-ieas-
red in "inconclusive" judgments,
it said. . .-.

Summary of . Recommendations on Federal Security.
Special to The New york Tiniel.
r.,_. 9oWL
towtag is the text of the .sum-
mary of recommefldatiOfl of the
Commlssioa on Government Be-
curUy: . - -
- - The commission's recom-
-rndations, if put into effect,
would enhance the protection
afforded national security
while substantially increasing
the- protection of the mdi-
vidual. . U
The commission recommends
retention, with fundamental
revisions, of the programs af-
fectink Federal civilian and
military personnel, industriaL
security, port security, - em-
ployes of International organ-
izations, the classification of
documents, passport regula-
tions, and the control of al-
lens. In addition, the commis-
sion recommends an entirely
new program to safeguard na-
tional security itt the vital
operations of our civil air -
transport system.
At the core of the commis-
sion's plan for a uniform,
comprehensive, and practical.
security mechanism is its rec-
ommendation for a Central
Security Office to provide a
continuous study of security :
needs and measures, conduct -
loyalty and security hearings, -
and furnish advisory decisions
to heads of government de-'
partments and agencies.
And at the very basis of the
commission's thinking lies the
separation of the loyalty prob-
bern from that of suitability
and security. All loyalty cases
are security cases, but the
converse is not true. A man
who talks too freely when in
his cups, or a pervert who is
vulnerable t blackjnail, may
both be security risks, al-
though both may be - loyal
Americans. The commission
recommends that as far as
possible such cases be consid-
ered on a basis ofsuitabiIity
to safeguard the individual
from an unjust stigma of dis-
loyalty.
-Some problems, such as the
maintenance and use of the
AttOrney General's list, the
right to subpoena witnesses,
and the extent to which the
principle of confrontatidn is
applicable in security cases,
cut across the entire field of
loyalty and security problems
and are subjects of special
recommendations.
Central Security Office
The commission recommends
an independent Central Secur-
ity Office in the Executive
branch of the Government.
One of the principal deficien-
cies of past loyalty and secur-
ity programs has been a short-
age of trained, qualified per-
sonneI to administer them.
Hence, the first duty of the
director of the proposed cen-
tral office would be to select
emineitly qualified personnel,
Including hearing examiners
to conduct loyalty hearings
under the Federal civilian em-
pboye program and security
hearings under the industrial,
,mtcrenety,-Tdlt- 1ld cii1
air transport programs. The
Central Security Office would -
also assist the various agen-
des, through consultation and
conference, in training screen-
ing and other security person-
nel. A Central Review Board
would review cases, on the
record, as appealed from ad-
verse decisions of the heads of
agencies. Decisions of both
hearing examiners and the
Central Review Board would
be advisory only to agency
heads. The various loyalty and
security programs of the Gov-
ernrnent would be reviewed
and Inspected to insure uni-
of rules, regulations
cedures; however, the
Central Security Office woui1

agency. Complaints from in-
dustry relating to the various
industrial security programs
would be received and,
through conferences with in-
dustry aadthe interested Gov-
ment agencies, inconsistencies
and duplications would be
corrected.
Attorney General's List
The commission believes
that the Attorney General's
list of proscribed organiza-
tions, or sctmething similar to
it, is essential to the admin-
istration of the Federal loyalty
nd security programs. While
it therefore recommends con-
tinuance of the list, the com-
mission also recommends a
number of major changes to
minimize possible abuses. The
commission recommends a
statutory basis for the list and
that future listings be author-
ized only after F B. I. [Fed-
eral Bureau of Investigation]
investigation and an opportu-
nity for the organization to be
heard by examiners of the
Central Security Office, with
the right of appeal to the Cen-
tral Review Board. Decisions
of the examiners and the Cen-.
tral Review Board would be
advisory to the Attorney Gen-
eral.
Subpoena Power
In the past, neither the Gov-
ernment nor any - person - in-
volved in loyalty or security
cases could. compel attendance
of witnesses at hearings. The
commissioi would give thej
hearing examiners the powers
of subpoena, with wide dis-
cretionary latitude to prevent

The Government would pay

. . Confrontation. -
The commission recommends
that confrontation and cross-
examination be extended to
Ipermns subject to loyalty inj
I vestigations whenever it ca
ibe done without endangenin
Ithe national security, Those
whose livelihood and reputa-
tion may be affected by such
loyalty investigations are en-
titled to fair hearings and to
decisions which are neither
capricious nor arbitrary. It is
the prime duty of Government
to preserve itself, and In the
carrying out of this duty it
has the indisputable obliga-
tion to avail itself. of all infor-
mation obtainable, including
Information from confidential
sources. Full confrontation,
therefore, would be obviously
impossible without exposing
the Government's counterin-
telligence operations and per-
sonnel with resulting paraly-
sis of the Government's ef-
forts to protect the national
security. The commission rec-
ommends that, where loyalty
charges are involved, no de-
rogatory information, except
that supplied by a regularly
established confidential in-
formant engaged in intelli-
gence work for the Govern-
ment whose identity may not
be disclosed without compro-
mising the national security,
shall be considered over the
objection of the individual in-
volved unless such individual
Is given the opportunity to
cross-examine under oath the
person -supplying such deroga-
tory information. Where the
informant is not available for
process by reason of incompe-
tence, death or other cause,
the derogatory information
may be considered, but due ne-
gard must be given to the ab-
sence o.f opportunity to cross-
examine.
Federal Civilian Employes
The program recommended
for civilian Government em-
ployes consists of a loyalty
program applicable to all posi-
tions and a suitability pro-
gram within the framework
of civil service regulations. In
the Executive branch, the
commission wlccljJhe
ciIiiEelligence Ageny
aiiihe National Security
Agency from. prpgram
The commission recommends
changes in civil service regu-
lations to allow the transfer
of "loyal security risks" to
nonsensitive positions or their
dismissal under normal civil
ser4ce procedures. The corn-
mission recommends equal
treatnient on loyalty and suit-
ability grounds for veterans
and nonveterans In Federal
employ. The commission has
also strongly urged that all
departments of Government;
be -treated alike and therefore
the legislative and juuiciai;
branches should develop by- ;1
alty and security programs.
Military Personnel
The commission recom-
mends that the standard and
criteria for separation, for
denial of enlistment, induc-
tion, appointment, or recall to
active duty in the armed
forces, including the Coast
Guard, should be that on all
the available information
there is a reasonable doubt as
to loyalty. The commission
recommends that the oppor-
tunity for a hearing presently
afforded inductees rejected
for security reasons be cx- -
tended to enlistees who are
rejected on loyalty grounds, if
requested. - The cost of such
hearings should be borne by
the Government and military
counsel shetld be assigned, if
requested. -The recommenda-
tions in other programs for
subpoena and confrontation
would also apply in the mili-
tary personnel program. The
commission also recomnends
- that in loyalty, separations,
the type - of dischaieglve? a
serviceman should depend
solely upon the conduct of
such serviceman during the
term of his -military service,-
including the period of mem-
bership in ? the active or in-
active reserve, and that, ex-
cept to the extent that there
has been falsification of his
official papers, preservice con-
duct should not be considered
in determining tle type of dis-
charge to be given.
Documeitt Classification
The changes recommended -
by the commission in the
present program for classifi-
cation of documents and other
material are of major im-
. portance. The most important
change is that the Confidentialj.
! classifiOation be abolished. The
commission is convinced that
retention of this classification
serves no useful puipose which
could not be coveren Dy tile
Top Secret or Sedret classifi-
cation. Since the recommenda-
tion is not retroactive, it
eliminates the immediate task
of - declassifying material now
classified ConfidentiaL The
commission also recommends
abolition of tjie requirement
for a personnel security check
for access to documents or
material classified Confiden-
tial. The danger inherent in
such access Is nt significant
and the present clearance re-
quiremeilts attord no reat
security-clearance check.
The report of the commis-
sion stresses the dangers to
national security that arise
out of overclassification of in-
formation which retards scien-
tific and technological prog-
ress, and thus tend to deprive
the country of the lead time
that results from the free ex-
change of ideas and inforftia-
tion.
Atomic Energy
The Atomic Energy Corn-
mission is an employer of Fed-
eral eivilian workers and also
operates an industrial security
program. In general, the corn-
I rnission'e recommendations are
desighed to bring both A. E. C.'s
Federal civilian employe and-
its industrial security pro-i
grams in line with the com-j
prehensive programs planned
for general application through-
out the Government.
Industrial Security
Uniformity of regulations, of
procedures and their applica-
tiqn, and of administration ap-
peared as the needed goal of
any reform of the present in-
dustnial security program.
Therefore, the -commission rec-
ommends the establishment of
a Central Security Office in
the Executive branch of the
Government, as previously
noted. With this arrangement,
the hazards of consolidation of
all industrial security pro-
grams into a single agency are
avoided but the benefits of a
unified program will be avail-
able by means of a monitor-
-ing system exercised through
such a central office. The di-
rector of the Central Security
Office will advise with the
heads of the various Govern-
ment agencies as to issuaice
of uniform regulations, the in-
terchangeability and transfer-
ence of clearances from one
agency to another, the adop-
tion and use of uniform forms
for applicants for clearance,
and the provision for hearing
officers to preside over hear-
ings afforded applicants for
clearance whose clearance has
been denied or revoked.
To insure uniformity within
the armed services with re-
spect to the Department of
Defense industrial security
programs, the mmission rec-
ommends establishment of ark)
Office of Security within th
Office"of the Secretary of De.
fense. This office -would inte-
grate, control and 5upervise
the industrial security pro-
grams of the three services,
thus eliminating duplicate
clearances, investigations, fin-
gerprintiqg and repetitious
execution of clearance appli-
cant and related forms and
accomplishing a streamlined
administrative pattern elimi-
nating delay resulting from
Use of chain-of-command corn-
inunications regarding security
matters. Classification guides
would be issued by such office,
and close scrutiny maintained
on the classification of mate-
rials contracted for by the
services. Downgrading and de-
classification programs would
be monitored from this office,
as well as disposition of classi-
fled material upon completion
of contracts.
Confrontation and subpoena
powers are recommended as
discussed in the commission's
general recommendations en
that subject.
Replacement of the present
security standard by a more
practical and positively worded
one is recommended, namely,
that clearance for access to
classified material should be
denied or revoked if it is de-
termined tn the basis of all
available information that "ac-
cess to classified information
and materials will endanger
the common defense and secu-
rity." Also, athbiguouS criteria
relative to associations are
omitted in the commission's
recommendation, and the test
of refusal to testify at an au-
thorized inquiry has been
added. -
Port Security
The commission's study re-
vealed defects in the regula-
tions and the operation of the
port security program. The
commissiOn therefore recom-
mends that the Commandant
of the Coast Guard be vested
with full jurisdiction to ad-
minister the program with
the exception that designated
Army and Navy installations
continue to be administered by
the cognizant military author-.
ity. The commission further
recommends that clearances
for port- workers by the Coast
Guard, Army and Navy be in-
terchangeable.
The co?nmissiofl emphasizes.
the importance of administra-
tion by recemmending that
personnel of the Coast Guard-
assigned to duties in the se- -.
curity program be thoroughly
trained in security matters.
and be assigned to duty in the
program on a full-time basis.
One of the problems which
has arisen in the administra-
tion of the security program
by the Coast Guard has been
the failure to give an appli-
cant for clearance adequate
notice of the reasons for a de-
nial of clearance. The commis-
sion recommends that in the
future the applicant be given
specific and detailed notice to
the extent that the interests
of national security permit.
The commission recommends
that standards and criteri for
clearance in the Coast Guard
be uniform with the standards
in other major security pro-
grams. The - commission also
recommends that hearings
heretofore conducted by the
Coast Guard be the responsi-
bility in the future of the
Central Security Office. Corn-
pliance with this recommenda-
tion will promote uniformity
in standards and procedure
throughout the Government.
Air Transport Security
- The commission recommen-
dations for a security pro-
gram in civil air transport
recognize the need for initial
Federal action at the indus-
field. At present, only the em- also that uallffcation,s should
pboyes of Civil Aeronautics be specified for Passport Of-
Aclministrauon, avii ero-
nautics Board, or other Fed-
eral agencies involved in air
transport are subject to the
formal program, required Un-
der Executive Order 10450.
The commission has reeom-
mended, however, that only
those employes actually in a
position to do substantial
damage should be included in
the program.
The , recommendation that
C. A. B. have final authority
as to admission to "restricted"
facilities under its jurisdiction
reflects the opinion of the
commission that, - when such
authority is divided among
C. A. A., C. A. B. and mili-
tary agencies sharing civil air
transport facilities, there is
strong likelihood that over-411
national security interest can-
' not be adequately protected.
The agency which has the re-
sponsibility for such protec-
tion should have sole author-
ity for implementing measures
for that protection. The corn-
mission, however, recognizes
the important dual interests
of C. A. A. and C. A. B. in
national security in civil air
transport and recommends
that, subject to other recom-
mendations, the Secretary of
Commerce and the C. A. B.
should have joint responsibil-
ity for airport security.
International Organizations
The existing loyalty pro-
gram for United States na-
tionals employed by interna-
1tional oreanizations should be
continued, but the standard
should be broadened to include
those who are security risks
for reasons other than doubt-
ful loyalty. The standard
h,,,,1.1 i rn-n,-,,,,
all the information, ther is
reasonable doubt as to the
loyalty of the person to the
Government of the United
States or reasonable ground
for believing the person might
engage in subversive activities
against the United States.
The commission is recom-
mending amplification of the
criteria, reconstitution of the
International . Organizations
Employees Loyalty Board and
streamlining of its operations
to minimize delays, and the
rights of subpoena and con-
frontation applicable to other
programs.
Passport Security

deflningthe standards and
teiii.eLia ior a permanent pass-i
port security program. The
procedures would continue to
be defined by regulation.
Proposed amendments to
the criminal statutes would
make it unlawful for a United
States citizen to travel to any
country for which his passport
is declared invalid, and would
penalize willful refusal to sur-
render a passport lawfully re-
yoked.
The commission also recom-
mends that the legal adviser
of the Department of State
determine the legal suff i -
cieney of all passport denial
cases before final action by
the Secretary.
In the operational phase te
commission recomiiends that,
at all lveis, there be strict
compliance with the provision
of the regulations that notice
in writing and the reasons
for decisions shall be stated as
specifically as security con-
siderations permit. An appli-
cant would also be required to
state whether, as the result of
any security investigation or
proceedings, he has been ad-

mends in the field of immi-
gration and nationality that
the functions of visa control
except for diplomatic and of.
ficial visas, be transferred
from the Department of State
to the Departrncnt of Justice
and that the Attorney Gen- I
eral be authorized bylaw to
maintain personnel abroad to '
carry out these functions. I
The commission also found
that the admission to the
United States of any large
group of aliens en masse cre-
ates a serious security prob.
lem. It, accordingly, recom-
mends (1) that the parole
provision of the Immigration
and Nationality Act of 1952
be amended to clarify with
greater specificity the intent
of Congress relative to its
use, (2) 'that the status of ref. I
ugees admitted under such
emergency conditions not be
changed until all have been
adequately screened, and (3)
that the Government sponsor
an Americanization program
or all refugees ultimately
granted permanent status.
Overhauling of the deporta-
tion provisions of the Immi-
gration and Nationality Act is
also recommended to provide:
1. Suspension of the issuance
of all but diplomatic and
official visas and of the
use of bonded transit by
nationals of any country
- which refuses t accept a
deportee who is a national, -
citizen or subject of- such
country;
2. Detention at the discretion
of the Attorney General of
any alien against whom a
final order of deportation
is outstanding more than
six months, if required to
protect national security or
public safety;
3. Greater specificity in the
conditions under which de-
portable aliens will be sub.
ject to supervision; and
4. Authorization for the At-
torney General to order a
deportable alien to refrain
front subvetsive activities
or associations.
The commission also recom-
mends that, if the visa control
function is shifted to the Do-
partment of Justice, the Immi-
gration Service fix a definite
date by.which all alien crew-
men will be required to have
1ndividial visas.
The commission also urges
that the provisions of the act
for fingerprinting and regis-
tration of aliens remain in
force, and that an adequate
training progl'am be conducted
for personnel engaged in the
discharge of visa functions.
New Legislation
Two new substantiVe laws
are recommended.
The first would penalize un-
lawful disclosures of classified
information with knowledge of
their classified character by
)ersons outside as well as
rithin the Government. In the
ast, only disclosures by Gov-
trnment employes have been
unishable.
The second recommended
.egislation would make admis-
sible in a court o law evidence
)f subversion obtained by wire-
tapping by authorized Gov-
ernment investigative agen-
cies. wiretapping would be
permisUlle only by specific
authorization of the Attorney
General, and only in investi-
gations of particular crimes
affecting the security of the
nation.
