Burns Plans War on the Radicals and a Central Bureau
William J. Burns, new director of the Bureau of Investigation, proposes a central bureau of identification to compile records of dangerous criminals for federal, state, and international use. Extraditions and tracking of Bolshevists and anarchists would be aided, with close ties to European police. The move follows fears of anarchists tied to the Wall Street bombing and rising communist influence, as federal agencies tighten espionage and surveillance.
