based on an Associated Press report If you dial a certain number on the Washington telephone exchange you can hear an anonymous,crisp voice, speaking for the John Birch Society accuse Senator Robert F. Kennedy, Democrat, New York, of treason. The recorded voice assails Senator Kennedy as the backer of "liberal and revolutionary... «eChinese-oriented Negro groups," the employer of Negro Civil Rights leader Martin Luther King, and the financial angel of the Congress of Racial Equality (CORE). The voice suggest CORE is dedicated to "killing white people to accomplish its aims." Without any reference to time or place, the voice says that Senator Kennedy once avowed he would be "willing to give his blood to our communist enemies in Vietnam." The recording identifies its sponsor as "Let Freedom Ring," of Fairfax County, Virginia, across the Potomac River from Washington. It urges callers to send 35 cents to a Florida post office box for "Facts on Bobby Kennedy." The John Birch Society once labelled Eisenhower as a communist dupe.
