In 1941, he joined the faculty at Harvard as a Teaching Fellow in English, doing graduate work for a doctorate\nin American Civilization.\nIn 1942, he left Harvard and joined the FBI. As an FBI Agent, he worked for three and a half years on communist\ninvestigations in the industrial Midwest; two years on FBI headquarters staff in Washington; and almost four years\non general FBI cases in various parts of the nation.\nIn 1951, Smoot resigned from the FBI and helped start Facts Forum. On Facts Forum radio and television pro-\ngrams, Smoot spoke to a national audience, giving both sides of controversial issues.\nIn July, 1955, he resigned and started his present independent publishing and broadcasting business - a free-\nenterprise operation financed entirely by profits from sales: sales of The Dan Smoot Report, a weekly magazine;\nand sales of a weekly news-analysis broadcast, to business firms, for use on radio and television as an advertising ve-\nhicle. The Report and the broadcast give only one side in presenting documented truth about important issues - the\nside that uses the American Constitution as a yardstick. The Report is available by subscription; and the broadcasts\nare available for commercial sponsorship, anywhere in the United States.\ni\nIf you think Dan Smoot is providing effective tools for Americans fighting socialism and communism, you can\nhelp immensely estama by helping him get more customers for his Report and broadcasts.\nPage 392"
