NATiUNAL REPRESENTATIVES Pourth, Avenue Bldg , Seattle, "VasL Communists in Uniform Alaska Newspspers, 141) (Washington Post) The right of the armed forces to protect themselves subversives within their ranks cannot be chal- lenged. The instrumentalities of national security are among the most sensitive of all agencies, and it is no surprise that defense heads are reported to be plan- ning a lovalty check for all men called uo under the wew draft law. This is merely an amplification of the procedure followed during the war, when actual and ‘»\1\))"((((1 suversives were, for the most part, segre- gated into nonsensitive units. There is good reason why Communists, who are the principal category of subversives now in question, should not be exempted from the draft. In the first place, as American citizens they are subject to the same obligations for national service as are other America Secondly, permitting deferment of mem- bers of the Communist Party would encourage evasion {of the draft. Nevertheless, Communists in uniform The recent Fedsral Court ruling extending a previ- i hear watching.

It would ¢ at least until September 2 be folly to attribute such moves as the “over the hill in Octoker” campaigns of 1941 or the premature de- mobilization clamor of 1945-46 solely to the Com- munists. But certainly they were quick to capitalize on soldier demoralization and twist it to their ends. “But while the nec ty for keeping tab on po- tential subversives is recognized, the armed forces have an cbligation to set that the loyal checks are administered fairly. In the past such attempts oc- casionaly have gone to ridiculous extremes because of the lack of persononel qualified to pass on questions 'of such a delicate nature. A loyalty program in the military establishment will be of particularly susceptible of abuse unless efforts are made to provide the same essential safeguards as now pertain in the Federal Government.
