Everyone talks about the weather.
:21:13
Wherever you look on
America"s modern farms...
:21:16
... aluminum is on the job...
:21:18
... helping the farmer do
something about the weather.
:21:22
Aluminum for the farm is one more example
of how Alcoa, since 1888...
:21:27
... has continued to pioneer new uses
for this vital metal.
:21:31
New uses of aluminum that mean
better farms and better farming.
:21:36
The aluminum from the nation"s
first and leading producer:
:21:40
Alcoa.
Aluminum Company of America.

Last week Senator McCan'thy
appeared on this program...
:21:47
...to correct any errors he may have thought
we made in our report of March ninth.
:21:51
Since he made no reference to any
statements of fact that we made...
:21:54
...we must conclude that
he found no errors of fact.
:21:58
He proved again that
anyone who exposes him...
:22:01
...anyone who does not share his hysterical
disregard for decency and human dignity...
:22:05
...and the rights guaranteed
by the Constitution...
:22:08
...must be either a Communist
or a fellow traveler.
:22:11
I fully expected this treatment.
:22:14
The senator added this reporter's name to
a long list of individuals and institutions...
:22:18
...he has accused of serving
the Communist cause.
:22:21
His proposition is very simple:
:22:24
Anyone who criticizes or opposes
Senator McCan'thy's methods...
:22:27
...must be a Communist.
:22:29
And if that be true, there are an
awful lot of Communists in this country.
:22:34
For the record let's consider briefly
some of the senator's charges.
:22:37
He claimed but offered no proof...
:22:40
...that I had been a member of
the Industrial Workers of the World.
:22:43
That is false.
:22:45
I was never a member of the IWW,
never applied for membership.
:22:50
The senator charged that
Professor Harold Laski...
:22:52
...a British scholar and politician,
dedicated a book to me.
:22:56
That's true.
:22:57
He is dead.
:22:58
He was a socialist, I am not.
