Hoover warns of fifth column amid rising communism
FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover warned of a potential fifth column of up to 540,000 in the United States as communists seek atomic, radar, and industrial secrets. He cited heightened domestic communist activity and a loyalist program within the party to investigate members. Senator Taft offered a cautious, bipartisan approach to foreign policy, urging clear limits and project-based cooperation. The Air Force revealed a high altitude camera capable of 26 miles of coverage in two seconds for reconnaissance. East German youth protests and Western warnings followed a massive Soviet rally.
