Also, Kirkpatrick and Bierly were involved in what the Bureau considered "pirating" its security informants for Plain Talk magazine and, subsequently, for Counterattack newsletter after they retired from the FBI.

Sections #3 and #4 from the FBI's New York field file on the Socialist Party.

However, most of the serials in those two sections pertain to the Socialist Workers Party and the Independent Socialist League.

Items of particular interest include:

(1) section 4, serial #151A (which is page 14): This is a 52-page summary memo about the May 31-June 2, 1957 National Convention of the Socialist Workers Party

(2) section 4, serial #161 (which is page 233) which is 74-page summary memo regarding the 1957 Convention of the Independent Socialist League.

(3) In addition, there are numerous references on many of the serials contained in this file to CPUSA-related FBI HQ and field office file numbers --so can be very helpful for serious researchers.
