Kilgore pushes internment camps as Reds plan for crisis
Sen Kilgore of West Virginia proposed internment camps for Communists in a national emergency and said a group of senators is studying the legal angles. He favors the move as a substitute for Communist registration, arguing it would be needed only during a declared emergency. The Senate debates an anti subversion bill McCarran sponsors, with registration sections carried into the omnibus measure. Kilgore calls registration a police state tactic with little effect and argues internment would safeguard the nation with extra FBI personnel and executive power.
