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.

:12:02
The unyielding chief of police is
liquidated by American Legionnaires...

:12:06
portraying Red trigger men.
:12:10
A grim demonstration of
what subversion could lead to,

:12:14
Mosinee"s Mayday serves as a sharp
warning to all democratic communities.

:12:19
It's an international,
criminal conspiracy.

:12:23
Before we know it, we're gonna
turn our backs around someday,

:12:26
the whole United States, we're gonna
turn around and see nothing but V.C.--

:12:29
or not V.C., but communism--we're gonna
turn around and say, "What happened?''

:12:32
People just walking in
with riots, drugs, you name it.

:12:35
They're tearing us down
from the inside out.

:12:37
In 1 91 7, when the communists
overthrew the Russian government,

:12:42
there was 1 communist
for every 2,277 persons...

:12:47
in Russia.
:12:49
In the United States today,
there is one communist...

:12:52
for every 1 ,81 4 persons
in this country.

:12:57
If we lose Indochina, Mr.Jenkins,
we will lose the Pacific,
