source dated January 19, 1947, and bearing the caption
Association of Consumers, ctional Qfice 1822 Jeffers
Place, Na W}; Washington, D. 0., New York Qfice - Hen
Settlement House." New York was instructed that"if,
the information in this report was disseminated to ano
source or incorporated in an investigative report, its uld
be carefully paraphrased. The following e:cerpts.are quotedfrom this report: w
"Three months ago we made the initial report on the
formation qf a nation wide consumer group that right at the"
very start would have a membership of nearly one million p
.1%is sounded probably a little far fetched, but now with H
the preliminary plans laid, they claim 485,000 consumer members
thru the coming consolidation of consumer groups all over the
country.
"The top man is Chester Bowles who is being used as
window dressing. He met here in New York on Friday and Batu
with the committee, one meeting held in the Pennsylvania Hotel,
another at the Henry Street Settlement. &#39; i
"At the Henry St. Settlement House meeting, the &#39;
carefully concealed executive committee also went into session.
It is known that Bowles is skating on rather thin ice, he is a
leader in the ADA and many of the consumer crowd in the leader
ship is Communist. Bowles wants it to be known that he is n
qficially connected with the movement." 0, -
