...began in 1954 with citizen groups connected with Freedom House and the Fund for the Republic calling for a complete overhaul of its operations so as to prevent abuses of the rights of government workers. These protests evidently had little effect on the administration until last January when Harry Cain, a member of the Subversive Activities Control Board, publicly attacked the loyalty program in a speech in Spokane, Wash. Cain, unable to gain Administration support, continued to press for action, lobbying actively for a bi-partisan commission to review the operation of the loyalty program.
