BEST SPIES OVERSEAS, COMMUNIST PARTY OFFICIALS CPYRGHT PRESCOTT ROBINSON: "It was disclosed in Washington today that many of the best spies the United States has overseas are high-ranking Communist Party officials. That was revealed by Republican Senator Milton Young, of North Dakota, one of the few Congressmen who knows exactly how much money is appropriated for the super-secret Central Intelligence Agency, and for what purpose. "Young, in a report to his constituents says many of our most valuable CIA agents in various countries throughout the world are actually high-ranking Communist Party officials. American spies, he says, cannot work their way up in the apparatus of foreign Communist parties, but some party members, according. to Young, who are not too sold on communism, will work for us for a prime."
