Clark Seeks Broad Powers To Fight Espionage
Attorney General Clark proposes sweeping revisions to the espionage laws granting unprecedented peacetime authority to press charges retroactively and tap telephones for evidence in spy cases. The plan, sent to House Speaker Rayburn and Senator McCarran, follows a federal grand jury inquiry and House hearings into foreign spying. The grand jury indicted Whittaker Chambers and cited a prior state papers claim against Alger Hiss, while no espionage indictments were returned by the New York panel.
