[Aluminum for the farm
is one more example of how Alcoa...]
1:05:07
[... since 1999...]
1:05:08
[... has continued to pioneer
new uses for this vital metal.]
1:05:12
[New uses of aluminum that mean
better farms and better farming.]
1:05:17
The aluminum from the nation's
first and leading producer...]
1:05:21
[... Alcoa,
Aluminum Company of America.]

Last week, Senator McCarthy
appeared on this program...
1:05:27
...to correct any errors
he might have thought we made...
1:05:30
...in our report of March 9th.
1:05:31
Since he made no reference to any
statements of fact that we made...
1:05:35
...we must conclude
that he found no errors of fact.
1:05:38
He proved again
that anyone who exposes him...
1:05:41
...anyone who doesn't share his disregard
for decency and human dignity...
1:05:45
...and the rights
guaranteed by the Constitution...
1:05:48
...must be either a Communist
or a fellow traveler.
1:05:51
I fully expected this treatment.
1:05:53
The Senator added this reporter's name
to a long list of individuals...
1:05:57
...and institutions he has accused
of serving the Communist cause.
1:06:01
His proposition is very simple:
1:06:03
...anyone who criticizes or opposes
Senator McCarthy's methods...
1:06:06
...must be a Communist.
1:06:08
And if that be true, there are
an awful lot of Communists in the USA.
1:06:12
For the record, let's consider briefly
some of the Senator's charges.
1:06:16
He claimed, but offered no proof...
1:06:18
...that I had been a member of the
Industrial Workers of the World.
1:06:21
That is false.
1:06:23
I was never a member ofthe IWW,
never applied for membership.
1:06:28
The Senator charged
that Professor Harold Laski...
1:06:30
...a British scholar and politician,
dedicated a book to me.
1:06:33
That's true.
1:06:35
He is dead.
He was a socialist, I am not.
1:06:39
He was a civilized individual...
1:06:41
...who did not insist upon agreement
with his political principles...
1:06:44
...as a pre-condition
for conversation or friendship.
1:06:47
I do not agree
with his political ideas.
1:06:50
I ask, as he makes clear
in the introduction...
1:06:53
...dedicated the book to me,
not because of political agreement...
1:06:56
...but because he held my wartime
broadcast from London in high regard.
