LIVINGSTONE WASHINGTON (#—Postmaster General Summerfield has told Con- gress that 166 postal employes; have been discharged as “security risks” with “many hundreds” still under investigation. The postal service has about 500,000 employes. Summerfield’s testimony was} given to a House Appropriations subcommittee last December and made public by the committee today. The House hearing record showed that Rep. Sieminski (D-NJ) protested against what he termed promiscuous application of secur- ity labels to firings for reasons} other than disloyalty, Sieminski defined the present use of the security label as ‘watered words,” and he said: “When I was a kid, we used to hear that people were let out for being dishonest, for being drunk, absent, chronically late, talkative or for being unable to match the qualifications of office... “Today, with a word or a phrase that has all the implications of the life of this nation at stake, we hear that people are being let out in wholesale fashion, seemingly for security reasons.” Summerfield told the subcom- mittee he had not checked to de- termine if any record of security | findings existed prior to his own administration, but he added: “I know we inherited a tremen- dous number of possible security risks that were supposed to be in process of investigation . . . but they are in such numbers that it] may be some time before the work | is completed.”” _|Of Hundreds Of Postal Employes the security risk category ‘‘were Contract Voided For Stripper BALTIMORE — A judge has voided the contract in which he jsaid Pat (Amber) Halliday, 28- |WELL-HEELED THIEF NABBED BY COPS CHICAGO —Detectives found $3,083 in currency stuffed in the pockets and one shoe of a 60-year- old man they arrested last night |for stealing two articles valued at $1.98 from a loop store. pretty general all over the coun- | year-old strip-tease dancer, “‘sold) “Don’t let my wife know about try.” David H.
