Mundt Ferguson bill would curtail Communist ties and aid overthrow foes
The proposal would bar registered Communist Party members from US passports and government jobs. It would criminalize passing government documents to Communists and ease conviction for advocating overthrow by criminalizing substantial aid rather than advocacy itself. The plan would not affect Coplon or Hiss retroactively. The piece notes Texas strategic highway needs near Austin, including Fort Hood and the Colorado River Bridge, with bridge work and four lane links prioritized by the Highway Commission.
