PAGE TWO BLYTHEVILLE' (ARK.) 1 COURIER NEWg WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 5, 1955 Ladejinsky Case Has Given Demos Focus for New Probes By JAMES MARLOW Associated Press News Analyst WASHINGTON (AP) The Democrats say they will investigate the Eisenhower admin Istration's program for getting rid of security risks among government employes, No doubt they would have done it anyway if they had never heard of Wolf Ladejinsky and two of Secretary of Agriculture Benson's aides: John Glen Cassity, his security chief, am Milan his executive assistant. The Democrats had eyed the se curlty program suspiciously fron its start in May 1953. They bega calling it a "numbers game" a the administration continued to an nounce security dismissals mount ing into the thousands. Under former President Tru man's loyalty program governmenl employes were fired when they were found to be disloyal or when their loyalty was considered questionable. Many Reasons Under the Eisenhower program an employe can be tagged and fired as a security risk for all sorts of reasons, some of which have no connection with loyalty.

For example, a man can be fired if he was a Communist, has information in his files which some security officer decides is subversive, or if he is a drunk, a homosexual or a blabbermouth. Just as the storm over Ladejinsky was hitting a peak this week, the administration produced its latest figures: in 16 months 8,008 persons dropped from the federal payroll and classed as security risks, of whom 2,096 had "subversive data" in their files. Ladejinsky, a Jew, came from Russia in 1922, was naturalized, worked for a time in 1931 as an interpreter for Amtorg, the Soviet trading agency, has relatives, living in Russia, has written exten'- sively against communism, was credited by many with doing an outstanding job for the United States in postwar land reform in Japan, where he worked for the State Department. department checked and cleared Ladejinsky twice for security. Last summer all the agricultural attaches were transferred from the State to the Agriculture Department.

The latter investigated Ladejinsky all over again and two weeks ago announced it didn't want him for "technical and security" reasons. Denied Connections Ladejinsky has denied any Communist connections. There were protests from Japan, from farm organizations, from members of Congress in both parties. Some State Department officials were burned up too. Then Cassity, who had recommended against Ladejinsky, told reporters that Ladejinsky, in 1944 and 1945, had written anti-Communist articles while members of his family were still in Russia.

Cassity said it was doubtful anyone would write against Communists if the latter held his family their hands unless he knew his relatives would come to no harm. Under this reasoning, it would seem, the more violent a man was against communism the more reason there was to suspect that he lad a deal with the Communists. Then Smith showed, reporters a etter from George N. Vitt, a Rus- sian native now living in New York. Although Vitt says he did not mean to be anti-Semitic, his letter, approving the Agriculture Department's action against Ladejinsky, referred to Jewish refugees from Russia and said "Jews who turned nito Reds" were "the wor kind of traitors." Such a letter could hardly be a reason for the finding against Ladejinsky.

American Jewish leaders protested. Benson denied any "anti-Semitic implications" were intended. As today, dawned, it seemed Ladejinsky would still work for the government. Officials the Foreign Operations Administration were reported ready to give him a job. Spellman on Way Home HONG KONG Cardinal Spellman left Hong Kong for Saigon today.

A man does not please long when he has only one species of wit, you know the fellow who TRIES be funny at the expense of someone else and a tinge of sarcasm is sticking out like a sore thumb. Love that type! Sharp wits, sometimes are like sharp knives.

Just give me the plain old every day sort of a person, who wouldn't intentionally say anything to cut the other fellow. They're the salt of the earth. You're an old timer and I don't mean perhaps, if yqu can remember when you went all winter without a head-washing.

I say women, because children had never been indulged in hair curling, unless it was doing what came naturally.

I'll never forget my first marcel. The best way, it seems, to lubricate a business deal, is to throw a big party. Bet more deals have been made with a knife and fork than anything else. Which proves folks are happier by far, if they've got a full stomach. Nature has some perfections, to show that she is the image of God; and some defects, to show that she is only His image.

There are but two ways of rising in the world; either by one's own industry or profitting by the foolishness of others. It has been wisely said that tears are summer showers to, the soul.
