Commies Fired
WASHINGTON, Sept. S. (P)—A
Senate subcommittee checking on
the government’s “loyalty" pro-
gram demanded Saturday that all
Communists and their sympathiz-
ers be kicked out of federal jobs at
once — and kept out.
The investigating committee
composed of, seven senators said
in a 29-page report that the present
method of testing the loyalty of
the more than 2.000.000 government
employes is "inadequate,” filled
with "dangerous delays," and in
need of speedy overhauling.
Four Republicans and three
Democrats signed the report, with
one of them putting in one dissent.

But the report differentiated be-

"Today a person in our country
has a right to be a Communist and
to apeak out in behalf of Com-
munism if he violates no law such
as espionage or conspiracy." the
report said. "By doing so, however

in July while “getting important
written espionage information from
two Bulgarians "
The radio described the pair aa
agents for American intelligence
and said the data they were giving
Ewing waa "of a military, econom-
ic and political character repre-
senting state secrets.”
Just three weeks earlier the Moo-
cow radio made a big to-do over
Lt. Robert Dreher, saying he had
been caught in the act last April of
getting Russian secrets while at-
tached to the staff of the American
Embassy.
The State Department said both
cases were obvious planta.
Aa for Ewing, the department
said the two men whom he had
known in connection with hia offi-
cial duties asked the vice consul
to meet them outside the legation.
The department’s account contin-
ued:
"The Bulgarian secret police
arrested the two Bulgarians in Mr.
Ewing’s company and on the baala
of a document of which the con-
tents are unknown, allegedly
‘found’ in the pocket of one of
them, and of alleged subsequent
’confessions’ on their part to the
effect that they had been engaging
in‘espionage’ for the United States
through Ewing, the Bulgarian gov-
ernment declared Ewing persona
non grata and requested his recall.
The American minister 'Donald
R. Heath) protested to the Bulgar-
ian government the arbitrary na-
ture of that government's action
on the basis of the transparently
fabricated maneuver on the part
of the Bulgarian authorities.
"Mr. Ewing has left Bulgaria."
Under the rules of diplomacy,
the United States had no other
course than to withdraw Ewing,
Dreher already had completed
his tour of duty in Moscow when
he was confronted with the apy
charge, and the embassy simply
sped his departure.
The Dreher caae waa nearly four
months old when the Soviets
splurged it. This led to widespread
speculation among diplomata here
that the Russians had kept ft on
the shelf for just some such inci-
dent as that of the refugee Russian
school teachers. That case was
attracting world-wide attention at
-the time.
