The radically - revised ques tionnaire, which will go into effect Nov. 1 for military re cruits and draftees entering the service, represents another step in the gradual revision of De fense Department security pro cedures over the past year. Both Congress and the public have criticized the program, particularly the "guilt by kin ship" practice. Hecalls Landy Casa One of the most publicized of the "guilt by kinship" cases was that of Eugene W.

Uses Non-Legal Language The new questionnaire in contrast to the form it replaces explains in straightforward, non-legal language the reason for the security check, the appli cant's legal rights and factor to be taken into consideration in determining his security sta tus.
