The Times said Mr.. Nixon
based statements linking Mr..
Condor with Communism on q
report which the newspaper re-
ported was sent to all naval
commands by the director OF
naval intelligence.
In a dispatch from Washing
ton, the Times said although Mr..
Nixon did not mention the FBI
in his political speeches this week
in the Far West. 1t was known in
washington that "the basis OF
the naval intelligence report was
data supplied by the FBI."
Asked at San Francisco Ar

said his charges are based on
