The rights of free speech and free opinion would receive an awful drubbing from such a regulatory body. A further aspect of the proposed legislation which has been generally overlooked is the welcome offered to subversive groups by the measure. Since the bill also applies to the Federal Government and its multitudinous instrumentalities. as well as to private business. such agencies as the Atomic Energy Commission is forbidden under the law from asking an applicant where he was born. whether he is a naturalized or nativeborn citizen. what his race is. or even what his original name might be. He may not be asked to show his naturalization or first papers. He cannot be questioned as to membership in racial or religious organizations. The successful search for disloyal Federal employees is difficult enough now. even with an elaborate program of loyalty checks.
