Michigan's Republican Clare Hoffman introduced a bill to bar from Federal pay rolls all members of all organizations affiliated in any degree with the widely affiliated Communist Party (or with any other outfit which would overthrow the U. S. Government). Carried to its logical extreme in public and private employment, this form of retribution would turn up millions of witches in the besplattered...
