...first ballot chose its president by unanimous vote. He is Chile's portly, polished Jose Maza, 66, a U.N. parliamentarian of ten years' standing.

It will have to give the responsibility of ferruling out subversives to one agency or board whose membership is experienced with the problems of loyalty probes. The investigative body, furthermore, must guard against unpaid suspension of government workers on flimsy evidence or the testimony of anonymous, unreliable informants. At the same time, however, members of the central loyalty board ought to remember that subversion in Government...
