Use of all govt employes to run down Reds urged
Complete co operation of all government agencies and an awakened Congress has broadened the campaign to rid the nation of radicals. A bill proposed would make every government employee an agent to ferret out undesirables, with each clerk reporting alien activity to justice and immigration. Treasury secret service and customs would assist, while army and navy intelligence would aid in gathering evidence and locating radicals. Martens and Nourteva faced deportation warrants as Justice officials sought to remove radicals arrested since last Friday, with plans to use two transports larger than the Buford.
