Kennedy says espionage, not the party, threatens US
Attorney General Robert Kennedy told a Los Angeles news conference that internal danger from Communism lies in espionage by Communist bloc countries rather than the Communist Party of the United States. He said the party poses no danger as a political group but any organization tied to foreign finance or control can be risky. He noted the party is under FBI scrutiny while agencies study espionage possibilities and stressed the need for current legislation to meet the problem.
