of : ald” Freedom — Box 3 ZAREPHATH, Ww... JANUARY 13, 1967 VOLUME X NO» i. A coatrcversy of major proportions has devel- uped which involves the truthfulness and integrity of the adversaries. Ase U.S. NEWS AND WORLD REPORT stated on December 26, 1966, ‘‘Now out in the open and headiag toward a public showdown is a dispute that could prove important to the political future of Senator Robert F. Kennedy (Dem.),of New York. “The issue: Did Mr. Keanedy, when he was U.S. Attorney General, authorize the Federal Bureau of Investigation to use electronic eavesdropping devices - which ere known as ‘bugs® - in making criminal investigations? “J. Edgar 'fcover, longtiaie Director of the FBI, a says Mr. Kennecy did. “Mr. Kearedy says he didn’t. “Senator Edward V. Long (Dem.), of Missouri, says he will invite both to testify before his sub- committee which is investigating ‘invasions of pri- vacy’ by electronic anooping.”* The devious progress of Robert F. Kennedy to the point where he can hope to win the presidental nemination in 1968 started with the plane of an ambi- t.oue father. Back in the early 1930's Joseph Kennedy, Sr. was a heavy financial contributor and a strong supporter of Franklin D. Roosevelt in his first try for the presidency. Already a multi-millionaire, Kennedy Sr. had an chsession to establish the Kennedy family aa @ political dynasty, much as royalty was created in the past, by seizing power. After Franklia D. Roosevelt ascended to the highest office in the U.S. Government in 1933, Joseph Kennedy, Sr. was appointed to several government positions, finally becoming Ambassador to Great Britain in 1937. His oldest son, Joseph, Jr., was . originally selected for the political career which was to end in the White House. Joseph Jr. was sent to the Londoa School of Economics (Fabian Socialist) wiere Harold Laeki made him his protege, taking him te Moecow to introduce him to the important Soviet leaders. Laaki, a Fabiag-Socialist leader, worked closely with Prlix Frankfurter who was respon- sible for introducing , Aleee, Hise into government service as well as others of qu estionable loyalty to the United oa y gS 77- ~S1337 HY Joseph Jr, made th al left-wing rounds that seem to be neces foe-ahyone aspiring to become President of the U ital States. He weat to Spain ar nee pas er ee Sd. Paes fr on oar an EDGAR HOOVER vs. ROBERT F. KENNEDY ‘what was going on there. Later at Oakland, Califor nia, he became a close associate of J. Robert —— fy Oppenheimer and a “*group’” operating at Oakland. Unfortunately, Joseph Jr. was killed, nullifying all the work that went into building him up, so the next in line was called upon. This was Johan who finally ‘wade the grade. John, of course, was aleo sent ic | the London School of Economics and was also a special protege of Harold Laski. Reportedly Joha was not politically ambitious but was complying with his father’s wishes when he embarked on a political career after hia atint as a newspaper man. Robert Kennedy, however, waa politically ambi- tious but had to stay in the background while his brother was being maneuvered into the presidency. Reportedly he was jealous and resentful and insisted on being made Attorney General when his brother became President. This JFK did against the advice of wiser mea than he and the American public waa shocked. The position of Attorney General gave Bobby access to confidential records and power which he used to the hilt. He assumed nore and more power, injecting his influence and decisions into other government departments, including the State Department, Defense Department and Treas- ury Department. The Attorney General’s office, under Robert Kennedy, became the place where decisiuns were made and foreign diplomats beat a path to Boboy's “office rather than the White House. Bobby, whose pollsters must have said, ‘‘Ga left, young mas,"* has indeed done just that with a vengeance. Being politically wise, he has built a power atructure cen- tered around the Kennedy family, bringing several members of the family into government service. We > can only hope that Teddy and his wife, who are ‘much more attractive and sympathetic, will sot cross their ambitious brother up for there are those who can testify that it doesn’t pay, even those ho - are unable to testify at all. ee When Bobby Kennedy, pipsqueak turned Attor- _ ney General, took office, the FBI was ordered to cut down on its investigation of the Communist Com iracy. Tha N.Y. TIMES, when Bobby left the office Attorney General, stated that he had saved the governme ot money in not wasting time investigating communists. It was Bobby who disbanded a special during the Spanish Revolution, allegedly to ENtiostir kept tabe on Hollywood celebrities whe, we i] ra Y te ¢ Tee REET decom pane apis oe + Bye’ a ph tt
