Schlink and concern Consumer's Research's attempts at supplying the FBI, the Pentagon, and the Special House Committee on Un-American Activities (Martin Dies, chairman) with information on leftist activities. Subjects concern left wing infiltration into newspapers, magazines, books, advertisement, foundations, libraries, entertainment, radio, television, film, art, music, theatre, literature, college professors, colleges, schools, textbooks, churches, government, the armed forces, veteran's organizations, the United Nations, business and the rich, consumer organizations, women's clubs, civic organizations, science, individual scientists, and scientific organizations.
