Senate rush to pass anti subversion bill stirs debate
James Marlow reports from Washington that the Senate moved quickly in an election year to back an amended measure against Communist influence. Humphrey proposed a sweeping anti Communist amendment, House leaders watered down the bill, and Knowland pressed for quick action. The omnibus bill imposes death for peacetime spying, tightens sabotage laws, and requires spies to register.
