1,456 Employes Of
Gov’t Get Axe For
Security Since May
WASHINGTON, MV-The White
House says 1,456 government em
ployes have been fired or forced
to resign under President Eisen
hower’s new security program
since it went into operation May
27.
These removals from the gov
ernment payroll are apart from
the separation of 145,000 other
federal employes for economy
reasons, Presidential Press Secre
tary James C. Hagerty told news
men Friday.
The number of security remov
als under the Eisenhower pro
gram compares with these figures
for the old loyalty program which
operated for five years under
President Truman.
Five hundred sixty persons
were found ineligible for employ
ment on loyalty grounds and eith
er not hired or fired. While FBI
investigations of applicants or em
ployes were under way, 2,748 per
sons either quit or withdrew their
job applications. In all, the FBI
made 26,236 investigations. An
other 3,634 persons quit their jobs
after their cases went to a loyalty
review board.
Officials say the security
grounds for firing, or non-em
ployment, under the Eisenhower
program are broader than the loy
alty standards under the Truman
program. The present directive
provides for getting rid of persons
classed as drunks, homosexuals,
loose talkers and others consid
ered bad security risks as well as
outright subversives.

But service was deferred pend
ing Haymes appearance Oct. 28
