A Handbook Exposes Communists and Soviet Ties
The Senate Internal Security subcommittee released a 100 page handbook describing the Communist party of the United States as a Russian inspired Moscow dominated anti American quasi military conspiracy against government and freedoms. Chairman Eastland says Americans lack awareness of misinformation about the party and urges accurate knowledge to avoid manipulation. The handbook cites SACE hearings and HUAC findings, distinguishing the Communist party from legitimate political groups and portraying it as a commando force in enemy territory for the Soviet fatherland.
