:10:01
We all must be ready.
:10:03
You must have the political, economic
and philosophical courage to send me...
:10:08
or do whatever you think
is necessary.
:10:11
I must be ready to go.
If I did well,
:10:14
it is only because
Linden did well in bringing me up...
:10:17
and making me into a man.
:10:21
If I served the military well,
:10:24
it is only because the military
trained me to be a good officer.
:10:29
If I am a good American,
:10:31
it is only because America
brought me up to be a good American.

[Man On TV] It was a sight to touch
the heart of the most callous.
:10:43
Lieutenant George Coker was back in
Linden, New Jersey, the hero of the day.
:10:47
Three thousand people turned out
to greet him. Schools were closed...
:10:50
and streets were blocked
as the young former prisoner of war...
:10:53
walked on a red carpet
to the steps of city hall.
:10:56
[Man #2] Mike is still open.
Two, one--
:11:00
I'm from Duncan, Oklahoma,
which is about 90 miles south of here.
:11:03
And, uh, and I lived
around several places--
:11:07
uh, Missouri, Chicago,
Detroit, uh, Germany,
:11:13
Uh...
:11:15
by the time I got out of high school,
I was very conservative.
:11:18
We have, in Duncan high school--
we bought--
:11:21
the high school had bought a, uh...
[Clears Throat]
:11:24
Excuse me--
a John Birch package on communism.
:11:26
So we studied communism
via theJohn Birch Society,
:11:29
the big red map with the flowing out
of the disease and so forth,
:11:34
and-and learned how Karl Marx
was a very cruel man...
:11:37
and used to, uh,
make his family suffer and so forth.
:11:40
Uh, so when I got out of high school,
I thought basically that, um,
:11:45
Teddy Roosevelt's
what this country needed,
:11:47
and F.D.R. had kind of
sold us down the drain to the commies.
:11:50
The communist conspiracy is a deliberate
and predictable plan of action...
:11:54
to subvert the world.
:11:56
[Man On Newsreel] Mosinee, Wisconsin,
in a unique Mayday object lesson,
:11:58
shows what could happen here
if communism took over.
