Security & Wolf Ladejinsky...
...would like to compare two stories that appeared in your Jan. 3 issue. One, the account of Wolf Ladejinsky, the U.S. agricultural attaché, fired as a security risk for the flimsiest of reasons. He was publicly condemned by the Agriculture Department in spite of having been previously cleared by the State Department. The other story was that of Irmgard Schmidt, the German girl who obtained secrets for the Russians by using her charms on U.S. Air Force intelligence officers. These intelligence officers are certainly security risks since they obviously are easy prey for a shapely girl. Who are they...
Cheers for your intelligent presentation of the Wolf Ladejinsky story. No good citizen would deny the need for searching and ironclad security arrangements.

...firing of Wolf Ladejinsky reminds one of the slaying of John the Baptist to please the whims of a dancing girl. Surely the real reason for this firing is in the phrase "he has never been close to American farming problems and operations." Unlike the head of John the Baptist, Ladejinsky can be replaced. To cater to the whims of a few who feel an agricultural economist must farm with his hands is stupid. To say Ladejinsky is a security risk is to ignore what he has done...
...bundle of charts and diagrams for the President's message on health, just as Economic Adviser Arthur Burns deposited a stack of data for the annual economic report. More than 175 reporters showed up at the presidential press conference, threw questions that ranged from the nature of Wolf Ladejinsky's past to the price of uranium in the future. At every opportunity, Democraticos lobbed in test grenades for 1956. But the man in the White House seemed to be enjoying his job more than he ever had before...
