Espionage probe urges stronger anti communism drive
A congressional committee pressed for tighter laws to curb communism and protect national security. It faulted executive agencies for blocking access to federal employment records of suspected spies, urged a strengthened Mundt Nixon bill, and backed harsher penalties for contempt of Congress and for disguising or sharing secret information. The Hiss Chambers case was cited, with claims about Chambers being a Communist party member and Hiss's closer ties than he admitted.
