...July adjournment of the first session of the 84th Congress left the Capitol buzzing with rumors of a drastic change in the Government security program. A series of public statements by congressional leaders and persons interested in achieving a loyal civil service while protecting the reputations and rights of government workers presaged a gigantic re-evaluation of the Eisenhower loyalty program. Two Congressional investigations are now underway to determine the effectiveness and administrative efficiency of past loyalty checks and to suggest ways of improving the security system. When Congress reconvenes, a new investigation will take place, the results of which...

While many administrators enforced the Executive Order with fairness and dispatch, others tended to turn investigations, which should have taken on a quasi-judicial color, into grossly unfair proceedings which did little to insure loyalty while inconveniencing and often terrorizing loyal employees.

In the first days of power, there were 14, and they met daily for six to eight hours to deal with problems as they arose. Today there are nine, all of them demonstrably loyal to Nasser personally.

Salah Salem, Nasser's vociferous Minister of National Guidance and Sudanese Affairs, famed as "the dancing major" of the Sudan (TIME, Sept. 12), was booted out recently...
Civil war broke out while most Argentines were asleep in their beds. In the early morning darkness, generals considered loyal to President Juan Perón were summoned posthaste to the Army Ministry in Buenos Aires for an urgent conference. Police squads swooped down on a band of armed civilians trying to break into a naval armory at the Buenos Aires waterfront. At half a dozen places outside the nation's capital, a rebellion by army, navy, marine and air-force units was already under...
