minutes to testify. But he re
mained on the stand for moie
than an hour after launching a
bitter attack on Clark's part in
cawylng out the administration's
loyalty program.
Rogge called the lists of sub
versive orgam.ai:oiis which
Clark has issued under that pro
gram unconstitutional "black
lists," Intended to Imply "guilty
by association."
He said Clark had conducted a
"loyalty witch-hunt" among fed
eral employes until many Amerl
cans are "afraid to think for
themselves."
Senator Ferguson I R.Mich.)
Interrupted to ask Rogge how he
would have protected govern
ment secrets and confidential
matters against subversives and
Communists.
Rogge said he would assume
that most Americans were loyal.
"You are not that gullible,"
Ferguson told Rogge.
Six witnesses I n el u dl n g
spokesman for four organizations
Clarke has listed as subversive
were waiting to testily when the
committee wound up ta morning
session.
