...spirit of the Salem witch-hunt haunts Washington again. Sarah McClendon's labeling of William A. Wieland and J. Clayton Miller, two State Department aides, as security risks, has aroused a storm of rumors and accusations which remind one of the days of McCarthy and McCloud. Although the President instantly rebuked Mrs. McClendon for her defamatory reference, her cry was soon taken up by Senator Olin D. Johnston (Dem. S.C.) and various House Republicans, whose opinions are presented in a recent issue of National Review. If such statements continue unchecked, Wieland's career may be ruined...
Hearings recently conducted by the Senate Internal Security Committee provide the principal evidence on which Wieland's accusers base their views. During these hearings Ambassadors Pawley to Brazil, Earl E. T. Smith to Cuba and Robert C. Hill to Mexico called Wieland "gullible" and "most unreliable" in his approach to Cuba.

...flustered, Newshen McClendon named William Arthur Wieland and J. Clayton Miller-two State Department aides who, far from working in the sensitive Office of Security, hold routine administrative jobs in State's Office of Management. As Kennedy well knew, neither man had ever been considered a security risk. Taut with anger, he proceeded to tell Sarah McClendon just that. "I would say that the term you've used to describe them is a very strong term, which I would think that you should be prepared to substantiate." He hoped, added Kennedy, that the two men could perform their...
...National Airlines routinely re-elected George T. ("Ted") Baker, 60, as chairman and president, than the tough old pilot sprang a surprise: though continuing as chairman of the company, he resigned as president and chief executive officer in favor of his personable nephew, 42-year-old Robert E. Wieland. One Wieland plan to snap National out of its financial spin (it lost more than $7,250,000 for the year ended June 30): "Make it easier for the passenger to get his ticket and get aboard-and when he deplanes, get his baggage to him quicker...
