FBI Chief Warns Reds Exploit Student Protests
FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover warned that the Communists are intensifying efforts to exploit student demonstrations against U.S. involvement in Vietnam and the Dominican Republic. The 1965 FBI annual report noted the party’s instruction to cooperate with protest groups, its open activities, and renewed vigor in operations, with focus on anti foreign policy slashing, civil rights infiltration, and youth recruitment. The report cites 13,011 convictions in peacetime year and over 4,300 civil rights violations handled by the FBI, alongside a spike in bank robberies and burglaries. It also lists polling places and procedures for Bennington Vermont voting, with turnout light and occasional misrouted voters.
