Well, considering Tommy's early thoughts on eugenics and his penchant for hanging around communists (who wanted to destroy the Western way of life), it shouldn't come as a big surprise that he was watched.

"must be part of that Herbert Hoover influence". Do you mean J.Edgar Hoover of the FBI? Herbert Hoover was president of the US just before FDR.

It's in the Globe too. Apparently they spied on many politicians. This was before CSIS was created and split off (many parallels to today's problems).
