Was all that really so unique back then or was everybody Communists?
Hoover gave Americans the following tips to catch cars carrying Communists for they would resort to:
1. Driving alternately at high and low rates of speed.
2. Entering a heavily traveled intersection on a yellow light, hoping to lose any follower or cause an accident.
3. Turning corners at high speeds and stopping abruptly.
4. Suddenly leaving a car and walking hurriedly down a one-way street in the direction in which vehicle traffic is permitted.
5. Entering a dark street in a residential area at night, making a sharp U-turn, cutting into a side alley, and extinguishing the cars lights.
6. Driving in rural areas, taking a long walk in a field , then having another car meet them.
7. Waiting until the last minute, then making a sharp left turn in front of incoming traffic.
8. Stopping at every filling station on the highway, walking around the car, always looking, then going on.
