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."
