Brando
& Lancaster are Communist
Counterattack magazine, which purported to
identify Communist Party members and sympathizers in the motion picture and
television industries, reported that actors Marlon
Brando and Burt Lancaster, and director Elia Kazan,
were all persons who had a "Communist front record"
In May 1947, Alfred
Kohlberg, an American textile importer and an ardent member of the
anti-Communist China Lobby, funded an organization, led by three
former FBI agents, called American
Business Consultants Inc., which issued a newsletter, Counterattack.
Kohlberg was also an original national council member of the anti-communist John Birch Society, whose declared purpose was
to "expos[e] the most important aspects of Communist activity in America
each week". A special report, Red Channels: the Report
of Communist Influence in Radio and Television, was published by Counterattack
in June 1950
