Then, after going through half a dozen loyalty inquisitions, he emerged unscathed only to be axed by the Civil Service Commission Loyalty Review Board on the grounds of "reasonable doubt as to his loyalty." It took six years for Service to be partly rehabilitated; by a unanimous decision, the Supreme Court overturned the loyalty board's action...
