Senate Proton Act To
Get Loyalty Records
(Continued from page One)
Chairman Tydinga (D-Md) that
"the single most important ele
ment" in a fair and just loyalty
program ia "the preservation of
all filea in connection therewith
in strictest confidence." I
Nowhere in his letter did Mr.
Truman say flatly the committee
could not look at the filea, a step
McCarthy has contended must be
taken if hia chargea are to be
proved or disproved.
Mr. Truman's Reasons
Mr. Truman gave eight reasons
why he doesn't want to open the
filea. He said public diaclosure:
1. Would tip "criminals, foreign
agenta, aubveraivea and others"
on how the FBI works and put
"additional ahacklea" on the FBI.
2. Would break confidence with
persons who have furnished confi
dential information, and dry up
the FBI'a sources.
. Would place the lives of some
FBI informante In jeopardy.
4. Might result in an Injustice
to innocent individuals.
S. Would warn persons whose
na'mes appear in FBI reports and
some might flee the country.
6. Might be an invitation to black
mail the persons involved.
7. Might disclose "highly re
stricted information vital to the
national security and of consider
able value to a foreign power."
t. Detaila of FBI reports would
be subject to misinterpretation or
distortion.
