Kennedy Says Douglas
Was Spied on by Reds

Robert F. Kennedy. counsel to-
the Senate Investigation Sub
committee, said yesterday he and
Supreme Court Justice Douglas
were spied upon, given the run
around and openly lied to by
Communist officials during their
tour of the Soviet Union late
last summer.
He said he has grave doubts"
as to the merits of permitting
Russian farm and housing dele
cations to tour the United States.
He also questioned the wisdom
of the Western worlds recent
cutbacks in armed services per-
sonnet in view of the fact that
I'VE know we are dealing with
a country that continues to en-
slave its people"
Mr.. Kennedy, brother of
Senator Kennedy. Democrat of
Massachusetts,, appeared as
speaker at a luncheon meeting
of the Armed Forces Electronics
Communications Association in
the Willard Hotel. He illustrated
his talk with color slides he and
Mr.. Douglas took on the trip.
More than 300 persons at
tended the meeting, including
representatives from the State
Department, Central Intelligence
Agency, Foreign Service Insti-
tute and the Department of
Defense.
Mr.. Kennedy said he doubted
the Soviet would ever be capable
of anything other than smiles
as crooked and promises as
empty as they have been in the
past"
On that basis, he said. we can
not afford to strengthen them
while we weaken ourselves.
On their trip, Mr.. Kennedy
and Mr.. Douglas devoted most
of their time to the seldom
visited states of KazakhStan,
Turkmenistan. Uzbekistan, TadZ-
hikystan and Kirghizia.
In Soviet Central Asia. seldom

He said the party was given
the run-around-on orders from
Moscow - in at least one i'm
portant instance. It denied them
a visit to Karaganda, in Kazakh-
stan. which he described as
probably the greatest slave
labor camp in the Soviet Union.
He said he found out later that

of slaves

hampered by a Soviet-furnished
interpreter who withheld peril
nent information and gave the
party false TRANSACTIONS.
He hit at Communist boasts
that Russia opposes colonialism
and segregation.
Many parts of Central Asia
cannot be described as a any,
thing other than Soviet col
onies." he said, where Moscow
sets the wage scales, provides
the only reading material and
Classics all workers as employees
of the state" He added that all
outward appearances of religion
are gone from those areas.
Mr.. Kennedy said he saw some
merit in the Russian practice of
compulsory education and in the
growth of the country's indus
trial know-how, but added he
was impressed by the awful
price" the Soviet was paying for
those policies.
