It has active chapters inal WA.SHINGTON (AP)-The John Birch Society', a conservative anti- Communist organization, has become "a matter of concern to tlie attorney general," a Justice Department siiokesman said today. Asked If tlie department planned any action, the said, "A growing number of inquiries which the Justice Department has received about the John Birch Society has made it a matter of concern to the attorney general." He declined to go beyond that brief statement. There was no direct comment from Atty.

Gen. Robert F. Kennedy, brother of the President. Members of both the House and Senate denounced the organization Thursday and called for investigations of its leaders. Several senators have been attacked in letter writing campaigns by society members.

The most caustic criticism centered around the society's founder, Robert Welch, Who is said to have called former President Dwight D. Eisenhower and others Communists. FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover spoke out today against "reckless charges" and "vigilante action" in a signed editorial in the FBI law enforcement bulletin. Hoover did not mention the John Birch Society, and FBI spokes men declined comment on whether the society was an intended target.

No Vigilantes Needed Hoover wote "The job of curtailing and containing communism is one for legally constituted authorities with, tlie steadfast cooperation of every loyal citizen. "Tin's is neither the time for inaction nor xigilante action. "Attributing every adversity to communism is not only irrational, but contributes to ii.vstei'ia and fosters fears."
