Scope and Contents of the Sound Recording

This recording consists of a radio broadcast of Joseph L. Young's "The Federal Spotlight," a companion to Young's regular feature in Washington DC newspaper The Evening Star/The Sunday Star. Young's guest is National Federation of Federal Employees (NFFE) President Luther C. Steward. Steward explains the benefits of the NFFE's work with Congress, the importance of federal employee retention, the NFFE's goals of having Congress reevaluate the federal employee pay structure and retirement benefits. After the broadcast of "The Federal Spotlight," there is a brief interview in which a man is questioned about his affiliation in college with a man named Rosenberg who may have taken him to a secret meeting of the Young Communist League. Then the tape shifts to a Congressional committee presentation about whether China and North Korea are holding to the provisions of the Geneva Conventions. The speaker introduces a witness, General Matthew B. Ridgway.
