Senator Hill Proposes
Complete Inquiry Into
Hiring of Undesirables
A resolution calling for a “full
and complete” investigation of
the employment of homosexuals
by the Federal Government is
pending in the Senate today.
The resolution was introduced
late yesterday by Senator Hill.
Democrat, of Alabama, on behalf
of the District Subcommittee of
the Senate Appropriation Com
mittee.
Earlier, the subcommittee unan
imously had indorsed the sug
gested investigation on the basis
of reports submitted by Senator
Hill and Senator Wherry, Repub
lican, of Nebraska. The two Sen
ators, at the direction of the sub
committee, have been looking into
the matter for several weeks.
Both Senators submitted sepa
rate reports, quoting Lt. Roy Blick.
head of the Metropolitan Police
Vice Squad, as estimating there
are at least 5.000 homosexuals in
Washington and that 3,750 of
them are employed by the Federal
Government.
The police officer also was
quoted as estimating that “be
tween 300 and 400” suspected
homosexuals are employed in the
State Department.
Sought Names.
The Department quickly said
that, to the best of its knowledge,
there are no sex perverts on its

'Red Plot' to Sabotage
Capital Revealed in
Report to Senate
Testimony from Washington
police that they have obtained
a “purported” plan of Com
munists “to sabotage and
damage the Capital of the
United States in event of war
with Russia” has been re
vealed by Senate investigators.
The testimony was revealed
in a report by Senator Wherry,
Republican, of Nebraska deal
ing with homosexuals in the
Government. It came from
Sergt. James K. Hunter of the
Metropolitan Police Special
Investigations Squad.
Details of the plan and how
I it was obtained were not in
cluded in the report.
roll and that if any are found they
will be dismissed summarily.
“The Department learned some
time ago that such a figure had
been mentioned to the Senate Ap
propriations subcommittee,” the
State Department said in a state
ment. “The Department imme
diately asked Lt. Blick for the
names of any persons in the De
partment against whom he had
any evidence of homosexuality. No
such names have been furnished
to the Department.”
It was uncertain which Senate
committee would be assigned the
investigation, if one is authorized.
The resolution called for an in
quiry by “an appropriate” com
mittee, since the Appropriations
group has no jurisdiction over
legislation or personnel.
Senator Hill, in his report, sug
gested that the inquiry be as
signed to the Senate Expenditures
Committee.
Immediate Action Asked.
Senator Ferguson, Republican,
of Michigan, a member of the Ap
propriations subcommittee, told
the Senate “The evidence is so
shocking that action should be
taken immediately.”
However, no action can be taken
before next week, since the Sen
ate is in recess until Monday.
Senator Hill noted in his re
port that “It is accepted and
agreed that . . . homosexuals
are bad security risks and should]
not be in sensitive positions or
in any positions in the Govern
ment where they might in any]
way aid or abet or be party to
subversive activity."
Senator Wherry emphasized the!
point and said homosexuals are!*
generally regarded as bad security ]
risks because of their suscepti
bility to blackmail.
The Wherry report also said
that, in testimony before the sub
committee, "there was a fleetingj
reference to a trail of homosexuals j
leading to a foreign embassy’ here.
There was no elaboration on the
point, and the embassy was not
identified.
1,000 “Bad Security Risks.’’
Sergt. James K. Hunter, head
of the Metropolitan Police Special
Investigations Squad, a witness
before the subcommittee, was:
quoted in the Wherry report as
estimating there are “1,000 bad
security risks now walking the
streets of Washington.”
On the basis of testimony by
Lt. Blick and Sergt. Hunter, Sen
ator Wherry suggested that con
sideration be given for an emer
gency appropriation for the Police
Department “for suppression of
the crime of homosexualism and
surveillance of subversive forces.”
Lt. Blick was quoted as saying
only four officers were assigned to
detection of homosexuals. Sergt.
Hunter was reported as saying
only two policemen were detailed
to checking on subversives.
Senator Wherry criticized the;
lack of a system that would pre
vent homosexuals discharged by,
one Government agency from ob
taining employment in another.
13 in New Jobs.
In this connection, he said a
check had revealed that 13 out of
91 persons discharged by the State
Department as homosexuals since
1947 were employed thereafter by
other Government agencies. As a
result of his complaint, the re
port said, the Civil Service Com
mission investigated and found it
had jurisdiction in nine of the
cases. He added that seven of
them were ordered dsmissed, one
resigned while under investigation
and one case is pending.
Senator Wherry said that, while
these incidents emphasize laxity
“in cleansing the Government
rolls,” there is “much more to the

sordid situation that will shock
the Amencan people. .
His report said that Lt. Black
had testified that, in one night,
police arrested 65 homosexuals in
Lafayette Park “directly opposite
the White House" and that all of
.them pleaded guilty.
It also stated that Park Police
have the names of “some 200 Gov
ernment employes who have been
arrested in Capital parks on the
charge of moral perversion.”
N’avy Figures Quoted.
The Wherry report quoted rep
resentatives of the Office of Naval
Intelligence as saying that over,
the last nine years a file of 7,859
known or alleged homosexuals,
both uniformed and civilian, had
been accumulated, all of whom
have been separated from the
service.
The report added that 95 per
cent of this total resided within
the United States and a total of
1,740, at the time of the investiga
tions, lived In the Washington1
area.
“Army intelligence officers." the
Wherry report continued, "dis
closed they have accumulated the
names of 5.000 persons, in and outj
of the military forces, within the
Military District of Washington,
who are known or alleged homo
sexuals. The names were said to
have been gathered since 1946.” j
It added that the Military Dis
trict of Washington was “reported;
to be weeding moral perverts out
of the service at the rate of one
every six days.”
Prevalence Here Not Unusual.
Senator Hill, in his report, in
cluded a letter from Dr. R. H
Felix, director of the National In
stitute of Mental Health, saying:
“I have been unable to find any
evidence whatsoever which in
dicates that homosexuality is
more prevalent in the District of
Columbia area than in other sec
tions of the country."
