1
00:02:38,784 --> 00:02:42,026
The Trinity test had been
executed in new Mexico.

2
00:02:42,245 --> 00:02:45,612
The people from Trinity
had arrived in the marianas

3
00:02:45,832 --> 00:02:48,869
and they had with them
at that particular time

4
00:02:49,086 --> 00:02:51,919
colored photographs of
the Trinity explosion,

5
00:02:52,130 --> 00:02:55,042
so we got the gang together
and we showed them.

6
00:02:55,258 --> 00:02:56,794
We didn't use the word
"atomic bomb,"

7
00:02:57,010 --> 00:02:58,112
we did not use that,
but we said:

8
00:02:58,136 --> 00:03:00,343
"Okay now, this is the bomb,

9
00:03:00,555 --> 00:03:04,798
this is what will happen
when we make our flight tomorrow

10
00:03:05,018 --> 00:03:07,885
and release it,
this is what we're gonna see.”

11
00:03:08,105 --> 00:03:12,439
So with
this preliminary indoctrination

12
00:03:12,651 --> 00:03:14,733
we got into the airplane
and took off.

13
00:03:20,784 --> 00:03:23,651
Once we were airborne
and in the air,

14
00:03:23,870 --> 00:03:26,077
I then left the pilot seat
of the airplane

15
00:03:26,289 --> 00:03:27,904
and I crawled back
into the back,

16
00:03:28,125 --> 00:03:29,786
where the enlisted men were.

17
00:03:30,001 --> 00:03:31,354
I got them all together
back there,

18
00:03:31,378 --> 00:03:33,314
then we poured some coffee
out of the thermos jugs

19
00:03:33,338 --> 00:03:35,704
and I told them actually
what we were doing

20
00:03:35,924 --> 00:03:38,336
and what we were carrying
at that time,

21
00:03:38,552 --> 00:03:41,510
and the weather being
clear at our primary,

22
00:03:41,722 --> 00:03:44,885
which was Hiroshima,
there was no decision left,

23
00:03:45,100 --> 00:03:47,056
I mean, we were on
the way to the primary,

24
00:03:47,269 --> 00:03:49,225
so that part of it
was perfectly routine.

25
00:03:49,438 --> 00:03:52,396
As we came in
from our initial point

26
00:03:52,607 --> 00:03:54,689
to the bomb release point,

27
00:03:54,901 --> 00:03:57,813
it was again routine.

28
00:03:58,029 --> 00:04:00,736
There... we were bothered
not in the least

29
00:04:00,949 --> 00:04:05,488
by any kind of
fighter opposition, no flak.

30
00:04:05,704 --> 00:04:08,161
We didn't see anything
to cause us any concern

31
00:04:08,373 --> 00:04:09,642
so that we're able
to concentrate

32
00:04:09,666 --> 00:04:11,531
strictly on the bombing problem.

33
00:04:11,752 --> 00:04:13,743
The bomb was released.

34
00:04:24,556 --> 00:04:27,138
We executed our turn away
as we had been directed.

35
00:04:31,313 --> 00:04:32,678
The bomb blast hit us.

36
00:04:34,191 --> 00:04:36,773
It hit us
in two different shockwaves,

37
00:04:36,985 --> 00:04:39,567
the first being the stronger.

38
00:04:39,780 --> 00:04:45,366
This, as I say,
was a perfectly unexciting

39
00:04:45,577 --> 00:04:47,659
and routine thing
up until the point

40
00:04:49,956 --> 00:04:51,071
and then it was kinda...

41
00:04:51,291 --> 00:04:53,452
It was a little bit hard
to realize,

42
00:04:53,668 --> 00:04:56,000
it was kinda inconceivable

43
00:04:56,213 --> 00:04:58,249
as to what
we were looking at there.

44
00:04:58,465 --> 00:05:00,425
We passed comments back
and forth in the airplane,

45
00:05:00,550 --> 00:05:01,665
we took pictures,

46
00:05:01,885 --> 00:05:03,750
and by the time
we had done that,

47
00:05:03,970 --> 00:05:07,212
I became concerned that
we better quit being sightseers

48
00:05:07,432 --> 00:05:08,467
and get out of there.

49
00:05:08,683 --> 00:05:11,846
And we were gone
and off for the coast

50
00:05:12,062 --> 00:05:14,348
in a matter of about 20 minutes

51
00:05:14,564 --> 00:05:16,164
from the time that
the bomb was released.

52
00:05:31,915 --> 00:05:34,873
We have spent more
than two billion dollars

53
00:05:35,085 --> 00:05:38,373
on the greatest scientific
gamble in history,

54
00:05:38,588 --> 00:05:40,078
and we have won.

55
00:05:50,851 --> 00:05:53,058
The Navy department says
that it's too early yet

56
00:05:53,270 --> 00:05:55,030
to tell what effect
the atomic bomb will have

57
00:05:55,146 --> 00:05:56,386
on Japanese morale

58
00:05:56,606 --> 00:05:58,892
and that we may have
to destroy four or five cities

59
00:05:59,109 --> 00:06:01,100
before they actually
believe we have such a bomb.

60
00:06:12,998 --> 00:06:15,831
Having found the atomic bomb,
we have used it.

61
00:06:17,127 --> 00:06:19,288
We shall continue to use it

62
00:06:19,504 --> 00:06:24,043
until we completely destroy
Japan's power to make war.

63
00:06:24,259 --> 00:06:26,841
Only a Japanese surrender
will stop us.

64
00:06:31,433 --> 00:06:35,472
It is an awful responsibility
which has come to us.

65
00:06:35,687 --> 00:06:38,975
We thank god
that it has come to us

66
00:06:39,190 --> 00:06:41,431
instead of to our enemies,

67
00:06:41,651 --> 00:06:44,358
and we pray that he may guide us

68
00:06:44,571 --> 00:06:48,359
to use it in his ways
and for his purposes.

69
00:06:58,418 --> 00:06:59,453
Captain beahan,

70
00:06:59,669 --> 00:07:01,580
what was your most
outstanding experience

71
00:07:01,796 --> 00:07:03,878
on this historic flight?

72
00:07:04,090 --> 00:07:05,921
I suppose it was when the clouds

73
00:07:06,134 --> 00:07:09,092
opened up over the target,
at Nagasaki,

74
00:07:09,304 --> 00:07:11,920
the target was there
pretty as a picture.

75
00:07:12,140 --> 00:07:15,382
I made the run, let the bomb go.

76
00:07:15,602 --> 00:07:16,722
That was my greatest thrill.

77
00:07:24,069 --> 00:07:27,436
J there was no atheist
in a foxhole I

78
00:07:29,407 --> 00:07:32,820
j and men who
never prayed before

79
00:07:34,579 --> 00:07:38,322
j lifted tired
and bloodshot eyes to heaven j

80
00:07:40,543 --> 00:07:44,001
j and begged the lord
fo end that awful war j

81
00:07:45,924 --> 00:07:50,884
j they told him of
their homes and loved ones j

82
00:07:51,096 --> 00:07:55,931
j they told him that
they'd like to be there j

83
00:07:56,142 --> 00:07:59,976
j I believe the bomb
that struck Hiroshima j

84
00:08:01,982 --> 00:08:05,645
j was the answer to
our fighting boys' prayers jj

85
00:08:09,364 --> 00:08:10,479
hey, did you see that city

86
00:08:10,699 --> 00:08:12,093
where the first atomic bomb
was dropped?

87
00:08:12,117 --> 00:08:12,776
Yes, Fred.

88
00:08:12,993 --> 00:08:13,993
We flew over Hiroshima

89
00:08:14,035 --> 00:08:15,035
for about half an hour.

90
00:08:17,038 --> 00:08:19,120
- It was a shambles, eh?
- A shambles?

91
00:08:19,332 --> 00:08:20,412
It looked like ebbets field

92
00:08:20,625 --> 00:08:22,065
after a doubleheader
with the giants.

93
00:08:40,895 --> 00:08:44,012
The group had been told
to select

94
00:08:44,232 --> 00:08:48,350
some targets in Japan
that had not been bombed.

95
00:08:48,570 --> 00:08:50,310
In other words,
they wanted virgin targets,

96
00:08:50,530 --> 00:08:51,736
and the reason behind it,

97
00:08:51,948 --> 00:08:53,828
even though not given
to the group at that time,

98
00:08:53,950 --> 00:08:55,906
the reason behind it
was that they wanted

99
00:08:56,119 --> 00:08:57,950
to be able to make
bomb blast studies,

100
00:08:58,163 --> 00:09:00,154
or bomb damage studies,
on virgin targets

101
00:09:00,373 --> 00:09:01,373
once the bombs were used.

102
00:09:07,797 --> 00:09:09,277
They were definitely
military targets,

103
00:09:09,466 --> 00:09:11,252
there was no question
about that,

104
00:09:11,468 --> 00:09:15,586
and they offered such a...

105
00:09:15,805 --> 00:09:20,219
Well, you could almost say
a classroom experiment

106
00:09:20,435 --> 00:09:23,427
as far as being able
to determine later

107
00:09:23,646 --> 00:09:24,646
the bomb damage.

108
00:09:56,805 --> 00:10:03,426
I have been subjected
many times to criticism.

109
00:10:06,314 --> 00:10:10,057
I have been accused
of being insane,

110
00:10:10,276 --> 00:10:12,892
being a drunkard,

111
00:10:13,113 --> 00:10:17,652
being everything that you can
imagine a derelict to be,

112
00:10:17,867 --> 00:10:20,153
as a result of a guilty
conscience for doing this,

113
00:10:20,370 --> 00:10:22,076
and as I say,

114
00:10:22,288 --> 00:10:25,906
no one's ever come to my defense
in that regard.

115
00:10:26,126 --> 00:10:30,085
I look at it this way:
That my part in this thing

116
00:10:30,296 --> 00:10:33,914
may well have been something
that later or now

117
00:10:34,134 --> 00:10:37,422
that the U.S. government
might be looking at somewhat

118
00:10:37,637 --> 00:10:39,628
with a guilt complex,

119
00:10:39,848 --> 00:10:44,342
and the feeling could be
that the less said about it

120
00:10:44,561 --> 00:10:46,241
by the United States government
the better.

121
00:11:38,239 --> 00:11:42,528
June 30th 1946, almost time.

122
00:11:44,037 --> 00:11:45,243
Another five seconds...

123
00:11:46,623 --> 00:11:47,623
Two...

124
00:11:48,583 --> 00:11:49,618
5:30.

125
00:11:52,670 --> 00:11:56,629
A spuming column of smoke
nine miles into the sky,

126
00:11:56,841 --> 00:11:58,752
blinding light
stronger than the sun.

127
00:12:00,345 --> 00:12:01,710
Bikini atoll,

128
00:12:01,930 --> 00:12:04,262
present site
of operation crossroads,

129
00:12:04,474 --> 00:12:06,556
and the fourth
atom bomb explosion.

130
00:12:06,768 --> 00:12:08,053
Bikini atoll,

131
00:12:08,269 --> 00:12:10,510
where 200 warships
will be anchored,

132
00:12:10,730 --> 00:12:13,972
140 planes, 200 goats,

133
00:12:14,192 --> 00:12:16,478
200 pigs, 4,000 rats.

134
00:12:18,196 --> 00:12:21,438
How will this fourth bomb
affect you?

135
00:12:21,658 --> 00:12:23,364
What do you know
of this atom bomb?

136
00:12:29,916 --> 00:12:32,908
The bomb will not start
a chain reaction in the water,

137
00:12:33,127 --> 00:12:34,833
converting it all to gas

138
00:12:35,046 --> 00:12:37,082
and letting all the ships
on all the oceans

139
00:12:37,298 --> 00:12:39,254
drop down to the bottom.

140
00:12:39,467 --> 00:12:41,423
It will not blow out
the bottom of the sea

141
00:12:41,636 --> 00:12:43,843
and let all the water
run down the hole.

142
00:12:44,055 --> 00:12:46,216
It will not destroy gravity.

143
00:12:46,432 --> 00:12:48,388
I am not an atomic playboy,

144
00:12:48,601 --> 00:12:50,432
as one of my critics labeled me,

145
00:12:50,645 --> 00:12:51,645
exploding these bombs

146
00:12:51,813 --> 00:12:53,519
to satisfy my personal whim.

147
00:13:05,952 --> 00:13:07,908
And thus the natives
expressed to the people

148
00:13:08,121 --> 00:13:10,203
of the United States
that they're welcome,

149
00:13:10,415 --> 00:13:13,122
despite the fact
that the atoll of bikini

150
00:13:13,334 --> 00:13:16,747
may be utterly destroyed
come July the first.

151
00:13:16,963 --> 00:13:19,420
But to the natives,
in their simplicity

152
00:13:19,632 --> 00:13:22,169
and their pleasantness
and their courtesy,

153
00:13:22,385 --> 00:13:24,592
they're more than willing
to cooperate,

154
00:13:24,804 --> 00:13:26,590
although they don't understand

155
00:13:26,806 --> 00:13:30,014
the world of nuclear energy
any more than we do,

156
00:13:30,226 --> 00:13:33,138
and though they have no way
of understanding

157
00:13:33,354 --> 00:13:35,094
what the test is all about.

158
00:13:36,983 --> 00:13:38,473
Scene 26, take two.

159
00:13:39,986 --> 00:13:41,442
All right, commodore.

160
00:13:41,654 --> 00:13:43,110
Go ahead, James,

161
00:13:43,323 --> 00:13:48,283
tell them that the commodores
explain the atomic bomb to them.

162
00:13:57,545 --> 00:13:59,627
All right, now, James,
will you tell them

163
00:13:59,839 --> 00:14:01,921
that
the United States government

164
00:14:02,133 --> 00:14:06,718
now wants to turn
this great destructive force

165
00:14:06,929 --> 00:14:10,092
into something good for mankind,

166
00:14:10,308 --> 00:14:14,551
and that this... experiments
here at bikini

167
00:14:14,771 --> 00:14:17,012
are the first step
in that direction.

168
00:14:30,370 --> 00:14:34,909
Now, they have heard of our plan
for their evacuation.

169
00:14:35,124 --> 00:14:40,209
Will you ask king Judah
to get up and tell us now

170
00:14:40,421 --> 00:14:43,584
what his people think,
and if they're willing to go.

171
00:15:02,193 --> 00:15:05,356
Yes, everything good,
and they're willing to go,

172
00:15:05,571 --> 00:15:08,313
and everything
is in god's hands.

173
00:15:08,533 --> 00:15:10,398
Well, you tell them
and king Judah

174
00:15:10,618 --> 00:15:12,779
that everything
being in god's hands,

175
00:15:12,995 --> 00:15:15,782
it cannot be other than good.

176
00:15:15,998 --> 00:15:17,579
American officials discuss plans

177
00:15:17,792 --> 00:15:18,827
with the bikini natives

178
00:15:19,043 --> 00:15:21,079
for the evacuation of the atoll.

179
00:15:21,295 --> 00:15:23,160
The islanders are
a nomadic group,

180
00:15:23,381 --> 00:15:25,872
and are well pleased that
the yanks are going to add

181
00:15:26,092 --> 00:15:28,174
a little variety to their lives.

182
00:15:30,888 --> 00:15:33,174
And here, by the way,
you hear them singing

183
00:15:33,391 --> 00:15:36,474
their Marshallese version
of "you are my sunshine."

184
00:15:57,039 --> 00:15:58,529
Firing time.

185
00:15:58,749 --> 00:16:00,709
- And I have just been in the...
- Thirty seconds.

186
00:16:00,918 --> 00:16:02,408
At the voice of the control set,

187
00:16:02,628 --> 00:16:03,834
marking the seconds remaining.

188
00:16:04,046 --> 00:16:05,446
The final switches
have been thrown.

189
00:16:05,590 --> 00:16:06,705
No one can stop it,

190
00:16:06,924 --> 00:16:08,324
the atomic bomb
is about to explode.

191
00:16:08,384 --> 00:16:10,090
Firing time,

192
00:16:10,303 --> 00:16:11,509
20 seconds.

193
00:16:11,721 --> 00:16:13,240
We do not know how
it's going to sound,

194
00:16:13,264 --> 00:16:16,381
but 42,000 men here
are watching.

195
00:16:16,601 --> 00:16:19,183
All of the observers...
=ten seconds!

196
00:16:19,395 --> 00:16:21,676
All of the observer ships are
in position in the open sea.

197
00:16:21,814 --> 00:16:23,224
We're about ten miles away.

198
00:16:23,441 --> 00:16:24,977
Five seconds, four,

199
00:16:25,193 --> 00:16:28,276
three, two, one...

200
00:17:34,136 --> 00:17:35,776
In the background was
the growing struggle

201
00:17:35,930 --> 00:17:37,215
between two great powers

202
00:17:37,431 --> 00:17:39,217
to shape the post-war world:

203
00:17:39,433 --> 00:17:42,300
Soviet Russia was
expansively stabbing westward,

204
00:17:42,520 --> 00:17:44,761
knifing into nations
left empty by war.

205
00:17:44,981 --> 00:17:46,642
On orders from the kremlin,

206
00:17:46,857 --> 00:17:48,939
Russia had launched one
of history's most drastic

207
00:17:49,151 --> 00:17:51,142
political, moral,
and economic wars:

208
00:17:51,362 --> 00:17:52,693
A cold war.

209
00:17:52,905 --> 00:17:54,736
The United States was
obliged to help Europe

210
00:17:54,949 --> 00:17:56,814
safeguard
its traditional freedoms

211
00:17:57,034 --> 00:17:58,740
and the independence
of its nations.

212
00:18:01,539 --> 00:18:03,450
Gone was the spirit
of wartime unity

213
00:18:03,666 --> 00:18:05,622
that reached its peak
on that historic afternoon

214
00:18:05,835 --> 00:18:08,497
in April '45 at the elbe river
in Germany.

215
00:18:10,131 --> 00:18:12,838
Here two worlds actually met,

216
00:18:13,050 --> 00:18:15,382
but this coalition
was to be torn asunder.

217
00:18:19,599 --> 00:18:21,239
Already an iron curtain
had dropped around

218
00:18:21,392 --> 00:18:23,758
Poland, Hungary,

219
00:18:23,978 --> 00:18:25,969
yugoslavia, Bulgaria.

220
00:18:28,608 --> 00:18:30,644
"Ah, but this is Europe”,
you say.

221
00:18:30,860 --> 00:18:32,379
But let's see
what can happen elsewhere,

222
00:18:32,403 --> 00:18:35,236
in, say, the small town
of mosinee, Wisconsin.

223
00:18:35,448 --> 00:18:36,654
Peaceful, isn't it?

224
00:18:36,866 --> 00:18:38,527
But the red trenchant falls

225
00:18:38,743 --> 00:18:41,325
and the chief of police
is hustled off to jail.

226
00:18:41,537 --> 00:18:43,118
Next,
public utilities are seized

227
00:18:43,331 --> 00:18:45,117
by fifth columnists.

228
00:18:45,333 --> 00:18:47,039
Watch carefully what happens
fo an editor

229
00:18:47,251 --> 00:18:49,037
who operates under a free press.

230
00:18:49,253 --> 00:18:50,413
He goes to jail too

231
00:18:50,630 --> 00:18:52,416
and his newspaper
is confiscated.

232
00:18:52,632 --> 00:18:54,748
Exit freedom of thought.

233
00:18:54,967 --> 00:18:58,380
Yes, this is life under
the Soviet form of government.

234
00:18:58,596 --> 00:19:00,461
The little town of mosinee
made this experiment

235
00:19:00,681 --> 00:19:01,841
for 24 hours,

236
00:19:02,058 --> 00:19:04,765
a public service to all America.

237
00:19:04,977 --> 00:19:06,763
It can't happen here?

238
00:19:06,979 --> 00:19:09,561
Well, this is what
it looks like if it should.

239
00:19:39,470 --> 00:19:41,552
Fortunately
we can move the clock back.

240
00:19:44,308 --> 00:19:47,391
The time is not yet.

241
00:19:47,603 --> 00:19:51,312
Let us pray that it never
happens in our country.

242
00:19:51,524 --> 00:19:55,733
Before we meet the members of
the American legion post 279,

243
00:19:55,945 --> 00:19:57,560
who helped make
this picture possible,

244
00:19:57,780 --> 00:19:59,520
I'd just like to say that...

245
00:19:59,740 --> 00:20:01,446
It gives me a great deal
of satisfaction

246
00:20:01,659 --> 00:20:05,402
to represent two outstanding
shopping centers in California,

247
00:20:05,621 --> 00:20:07,261
the shopping hub
of the San Gabriel valley

248
00:20:07,331 --> 00:20:08,867
in west arcadia

249
00:20:09,083 --> 00:20:10,519
and the whittier quad
shopping center

250
00:20:10,543 --> 00:20:11,543
in whittier, California,

251
00:20:11,752 --> 00:20:14,414
because they are
concrete expressions

252
00:20:14,630 --> 00:20:18,669
of the practical idealism
that built America.

253
00:20:18,884 --> 00:20:21,671
When you visit these
two fine shopping centers,

254
00:20:21,887 --> 00:20:24,629
you will find more than
four score beautiful stores,

255
00:20:24,849 --> 00:20:26,714
the sparkling assortments,

256
00:20:26,934 --> 00:20:28,845
an attractive atmosphere,

257
00:20:29,061 --> 00:20:31,643
and of course plenty of
free parking for all the cars

258
00:20:31,856 --> 00:20:34,893
that we capitalists
seem to acquire.

259
00:20:35,109 --> 00:20:37,395
Who can help but contrast

260
00:20:37,611 --> 00:20:39,317
the beautiful,
the practical settings

261
00:20:39,530 --> 00:20:42,488
of the arcadia shopping hub
and the whittier quad

262
00:20:42,700 --> 00:20:44,440
with what you'd find
under communism?

263
00:20:46,537 --> 00:20:48,778
It's not safe
to hope for the best

264
00:20:48,998 --> 00:20:51,034
without preparing for the worst.

265
00:20:51,250 --> 00:20:53,081
Our object is not aggression.

266
00:20:53,294 --> 00:20:55,501
We need not become militaristic,

267
00:20:55,713 --> 00:20:58,750
but we must keep our army,
our Navy,

268
00:20:58,966 --> 00:21:01,252
our air force at ready strength.

269
00:21:01,469 --> 00:21:04,632
We must back up our team
for security.

270
00:21:09,435 --> 00:21:11,596
Well, I guess there's nothing
for us to worry about.

271
00:21:11,812 --> 00:21:13,348
We're the ones
that have the bomb.

272
00:21:23,199 --> 00:21:25,941
The atom bomb explodes again
in the headlines of the world.

273
00:21:27,536 --> 00:21:28,946
In Washington, the chairman

274
00:21:29,163 --> 00:21:31,141
of the joint congressional
committee on atomic energy,

275
00:21:31,165 --> 00:21:32,575
senator Brian McMahon,

276
00:21:32,792 --> 00:21:34,407
gives his reaction
to Russia's possession

277
00:21:34,627 --> 00:21:35,627
of the bomb.

278
00:21:35,711 --> 00:21:39,579
This is no time for hysteria.

279
00:21:39,799 --> 00:21:42,461
This is no time for panic.

280
00:21:42,676 --> 00:21:45,008
This is a time
for a calm reflection

281
00:21:45,221 --> 00:21:48,964
on the political
and military implications

282
00:21:49,183 --> 00:21:51,674
of this transcendent event.

283
00:22:00,778 --> 00:22:02,643
J everybody's worried

284
00:22:02,863 --> 00:22:05,070
about the atomic bomb j

285
00:22:05,282 --> 00:22:07,489
j but nobody's worried

286
00:22:07,701 --> 00:22:09,612
about the day
my lord will come j

287
00:22:09,829 --> 00:22:11,589
- and when he'll hit j
- ; Great god almighty j

288
00:22:11,747 --> 00:22:13,078
j like an atom bomb j

289
00:22:13,290 --> 00:22:17,158
j when he comes, when he comes j

290
00:22:20,256 --> 00:22:22,372
well, this suit is made
of this material.

291
00:22:22,591 --> 00:22:26,630
Inside this layer
is shredded lead,

292
00:22:26,846 --> 00:22:29,053
a resistance
against atomic rays.

293
00:22:31,267 --> 00:22:33,349
Okay, Richard, on your way
to the air raid shelter.

294
00:22:33,561 --> 00:22:34,561
- Whoa.
- Let's go.

295
00:22:35,521 --> 00:22:37,603
J everybody's worried

296
00:22:37,815 --> 00:22:39,601
about the atomic bomb j

297
00:22:39,817 --> 00:22:41,978
j but nobody's worried

298
00:22:42,194 --> 00:22:43,855
about the day
my lord will come jj

299
00:22:44,071 --> 00:22:45,631
one immediate effect
of the announcement

300
00:22:45,739 --> 00:22:47,445
of Russia's atom blast

301
00:22:47,658 --> 00:22:49,148
is to tighten
security regulations

302
00:22:49,368 --> 00:22:50,904
at all atom installations.

303
00:22:54,248 --> 00:22:55,408
At hanford, Washington,

304
00:22:55,624 --> 00:22:57,785
where $200 million
is being spent

305
00:22:58,002 --> 00:23:00,539
in the ever expanding
atomic government empire,

306
00:23:00,754 --> 00:23:02,790
the door is being locked,
but tight.

307
00:23:03,007 --> 00:23:04,417
Twelve guards are kept
on their toes

308
00:23:04,633 --> 00:23:06,294
by constant target practice,

309
00:23:06,510 --> 00:23:08,091
and they have orders
to shoot to kill

310
00:23:08,304 --> 00:23:09,589
at any suspicious stranger.

311
00:23:25,738 --> 00:23:28,150
A highly trained and
well-equipped north Korean army

312
00:23:28,365 --> 00:23:30,276
swarmed across the 38th parallel

313
00:23:30,492 --> 00:23:33,199
to attack unprepared
south Korean defenders.

314
00:23:33,412 --> 00:23:35,869
Caught off guard,
they were all but overwhelmed

315
00:23:36,081 --> 00:23:38,037
until the united nations
took its historic vote

316
00:23:38,250 --> 00:23:39,250
to intervene.

317
00:23:48,052 --> 00:23:49,588
The end of the war
seemed in sight

318
00:23:49,803 --> 00:23:51,134
as the allies pushed north
toward

319
00:23:51,347 --> 00:23:53,338
the north Korean capital
of Pyongyang.

320
00:23:53,557 --> 00:23:55,388
Then it happened.

321
00:23:55,601 --> 00:23:56,681
The Chinese red armies,

322
00:23:56,894 --> 00:23:58,225
numbering hundreds of thousands,

323
00:23:58,437 --> 00:23:59,643
swarmed over the frontier

324
00:23:59,855 --> 00:24:02,346
against thinly held
united nations positions.

325
00:24:02,566 --> 00:24:04,181
Confronted by
overwhelming numbers,

326
00:24:04,401 --> 00:24:07,143
un armies were forced
into inevitable retreat,

327
00:24:07,363 --> 00:24:09,024
while men wondered
whether red China

328
00:24:09,239 --> 00:24:10,979
would touch off world war ill.

329
00:24:14,912 --> 00:24:16,243
Would the atom bomb
be the answer

330
00:24:16,455 --> 00:24:17,911
to the Chinese hordes?

331
00:24:18,123 --> 00:24:21,536
President Truman said that
it was under consideration.

332
00:24:21,752 --> 00:24:24,960
If the united nations yields
to the forces of aggression,

333
00:24:25,172 --> 00:24:28,130
no nation will be safe
or secure.

334
00:24:28,342 --> 00:24:30,424
If aggression is successful
in Korea,

335
00:24:30,636 --> 00:24:33,469
we can expect it to spread
throughout Asia and Europe

336
00:24:33,681 --> 00:24:35,012
and to this hemisphere.

337
00:24:36,433 --> 00:24:38,048
We are fighting in Korea

338
00:24:38,268 --> 00:24:40,509
for our own national security
and survival.

339
00:24:54,368 --> 00:24:57,201
It's time
for the longines chronoscope.

340
00:24:57,413 --> 00:24:58,973
Our distinguished guest
for this evening

341
00:24:59,081 --> 00:25:01,197
is the honorable
James e. Van zandt,

342
00:25:01,417 --> 00:25:04,124
United States congressman
from Pennsylvania.

343
00:25:04,336 --> 00:25:07,419
It's my opinion that
we should fight the war

344
00:25:07,631 --> 00:25:09,838
to win in Korea,

345
00:25:10,050 --> 00:25:12,757
rather than try to settle it
at the diplomatic table,

346
00:25:12,970 --> 00:25:15,427
which is impossible when
you're dealing with Russia.

347
00:25:15,639 --> 00:25:18,346
Would you extend your will
to win so far

348
00:25:18,559 --> 00:25:20,845
as to include the atomic bomb?

349
00:25:21,061 --> 00:25:22,722
Very definitely, Dr. Peterson.

350
00:25:22,938 --> 00:25:24,303
I've always been a firm believer

351
00:25:24,523 --> 00:25:25,843
that we should use
the atomic bomb

352
00:25:27,651 --> 00:25:29,642
but north of the yalu river
in manchuria.

353
00:25:29,862 --> 00:25:31,272
Does that mean that you believe

354
00:25:31,488 --> 00:25:33,695
that it could be
effectively used as a weapon

355
00:25:33,907 --> 00:25:35,363
in the Korean theater?

356
00:25:35,576 --> 00:25:39,489
Yes, I think that
there are several targets

357
00:25:39,705 --> 00:25:43,072
in northern Korea we could use,

358
00:25:43,292 --> 00:25:45,103
that if we could destroy them
with the atomic bomb,

359
00:25:45,127 --> 00:25:47,083
we could destroy them
and contaminate them.

360
00:25:47,296 --> 00:25:49,537
And then, of course,
there are targets in manchuria

361
00:25:49,757 --> 00:25:50,837
that should be destroyed.

362
00:26:11,403 --> 00:26:13,234
This is the destructive power

363
00:26:13,447 --> 00:26:15,563
we pray god
we will never be called upon

364
00:26:15,783 --> 00:26:17,774
to hurl at any nation,

365
00:26:17,993 --> 00:26:19,699
but should it become necessary,

366
00:26:19,912 --> 00:26:20,992
let us not hesitate

367
00:26:21,205 --> 00:26:22,432
because it is foreign
to our nature

368
00:26:22,456 --> 00:26:24,287
to use the power
which has been given us.

369
00:26:25,751 --> 00:26:28,788
I propose the president
of the United States

370
00:26:29,004 --> 00:26:31,916
advise the commander
of the north Korean troops

371
00:26:32,132 --> 00:26:35,716
to withdraw his forces
beyond the 38th parallel

372
00:26:35,928 --> 00:26:37,759
within one week,

373
00:26:37,971 --> 00:26:40,804
or use that week
to evacuate civilians

374
00:26:41,016 --> 00:26:44,133
from a specified list
of north Korean cities

375
00:26:44,353 --> 00:26:46,765
that will be subjected
to atomic attack

376
00:26:46,980 --> 00:26:48,311
by the United States air force.

377
00:26:50,776 --> 00:26:52,607
J there will soon be an end

378
00:26:52,820 --> 00:26:55,027
to this cold and wicked war j

379
00:26:55,239 --> 00:26:57,480
j when those
hard headed communists

380
00:26:57,699 --> 00:26:59,564
get what they're looking for j;

381
00:26:59,785 --> 00:27:01,992
j only one thing
that will stop them

382
00:27:02,204 --> 00:27:04,536
and their atrocious fun j

383
00:27:04,748 --> 00:27:08,866
j if general MacArthur
drops the atomic bomb j

384
00:27:09,086 --> 00:27:11,577
j there'll be fire,
dust, and metal

385
00:27:11,797 --> 00:27:13,537
flying all around j

386
00:27:13,757 --> 00:27:18,217
j and radioactivity
will burn into the ground j

387
00:27:18,428 --> 00:27:22,922
j if there's any commies left,
they'll be all on the run j

388
00:27:23,142 --> 00:27:27,010
j if general MacArthur
drops the atomic bomb jj

389
00:27:31,358 --> 00:27:34,441
I ask you, the American citizen,

390
00:27:34,653 --> 00:27:36,769
to let your congressman
know how you feel

391
00:27:36,989 --> 00:27:38,354
about this proposal.

392
00:27:43,453 --> 00:27:46,411
Well, I really don't know
what to do.

393
00:27:48,041 --> 00:27:49,656
But you do feel
the Korean situation

394
00:27:49,877 --> 00:27:51,959
affects us more
than anything else?

395
00:27:52,171 --> 00:27:56,039
Yes, I feel that
we should get our boys home.

396
00:27:56,258 --> 00:27:57,794
They've been over there
long enough

397
00:27:58,010 --> 00:28:01,468
and there doesn't seem to be
any end to the situation.

398
00:28:12,983 --> 00:28:15,599
Listen to what my mom said about
how bad things are back home.

399
00:28:21,325 --> 00:28:23,031
"Everybody's hoarding.

400
00:28:23,243 --> 00:28:25,780
Profiteers are getting
fat contracts.

401
00:28:25,996 --> 00:28:27,676
Neighbors say politicians
are using the war

402
00:28:27,748 --> 00:28:29,704
to their own advantage.

403
00:28:29,917 --> 00:28:31,748
All our chief atomic scientists
are spies."

404
00:28:33,378 --> 00:28:34,378
And a lot more.

405
00:28:35,964 --> 00:28:37,625
Now just take it
with a grain of salt.

406
00:28:39,426 --> 00:28:42,384
Let me tell you how the commies
plant propaganda back home.

407
00:28:44,056 --> 00:28:46,263
Sometime ago mack, Johnny, and I

408
00:28:46,475 --> 00:28:49,137
managed to get our last leave
together in a big city.

409
00:28:55,525 --> 00:28:58,437
We must do away entirely
with weapons like the atom bomb!

410
00:28:58,654 --> 00:29:01,817
These poor boys will shed
their innocent blood

411
00:29:02,032 --> 00:29:04,694
in a war that this country
is provoking!

412
00:29:04,910 --> 00:29:06,070
Get a load of that.

413
00:29:06,286 --> 00:29:08,572
Asiatic people all want

414
00:29:08,789 --> 00:29:10,905
the peaceful establishment
of native regimes

415
00:29:11,124 --> 00:29:14,582
without the interference
of United States troops.

416
00:29:17,631 --> 00:29:19,417
War would be world suicide.

417
00:29:19,633 --> 00:29:23,797
Only communist countries
can guarantee you peace!

418
00:29:24,012 --> 00:29:26,628
Why don't you go live
in a communist country then?

419
00:29:26,848 --> 00:29:29,055
Would you blow your top
on a street corner there?

420
00:29:29,268 --> 00:29:29,973
You look pretty well off,
sister,

421
00:29:30,185 --> 00:29:31,385
to be tearing down the country

422
00:29:31,561 --> 00:29:32,971
that gives you
freedom of speech.

423
00:29:33,188 --> 00:29:34,849
J we're living in a country

424
00:29:35,065 --> 00:29:37,397
that's the finest place
on earth j

425
00:29:37,609 --> 00:29:39,520
j but some folks
don't appreciate

426
00:29:39,736 --> 00:29:41,567
this land that gave them birth j

427
00:29:41,780 --> 00:29:43,736
j I hear that up in Washington

428
00:29:43,949 --> 00:29:46,156
they're having an awful fuss j

429
00:29:46,368 --> 00:29:50,031
j 'cause communists and spies
are making monkeys out of us j

430
00:29:52,082 --> 00:29:52,867
the question is:

431
00:29:53,083 --> 00:29:54,163
Have you ever been a member

432
00:29:54,334 --> 00:29:55,699
of the communist party?

433
00:29:55,919 --> 00:29:58,001
You refuse to answer
that question, is that correct?

434
00:29:58,213 --> 00:30:00,670
I have told you that
I will offer my beliefs,

435
00:30:00,882 --> 00:30:02,918
my affiliations,
and everything else...

436
00:30:03,135 --> 00:30:04,135
To the American public,

437
00:30:04,219 --> 00:30:05,499
and they will know
where I stand,

438
00:30:05,679 --> 00:30:07,079
as they do from
what I have written.

439
00:30:07,264 --> 00:30:09,624
Have written for americanism

440
00:30:09,766 --> 00:30:12,161
- for many years, and I shall...
- Stand away from the stand!

441
00:30:12,185 --> 00:30:14,580
Fight for the bill of rights
which you are trying to destroy.

442
00:30:14,604 --> 00:30:16,310
Take this man away
from the stand.

443
00:30:16,523 --> 00:30:18,434
J the bureaus and departments

444
00:30:18,650 --> 00:30:20,686
have been busy night and day

445
00:30:20,902 --> 00:30:22,517
j they're figuring out just how

446
00:30:22,738 --> 00:30:25,354
we gave our secrets all away j

447
00:30:25,574 --> 00:30:27,280
j and congress has appointed

448
00:30:27,492 --> 00:30:29,824
a committee, so they said j

449
00:30:30,037 --> 00:30:32,119
j to find out who's American

450
00:30:32,331 --> 00:30:33,946
and who's a low down red jj

451
00:30:34,166 --> 00:30:36,452
I'm holding in my hand
a microfilm

452
00:30:36,668 --> 00:30:38,158
of very highly confidential

453
00:30:38,378 --> 00:30:41,211
secret state department
documents.

454
00:30:41,423 --> 00:30:43,004
These documents were fed out

455
00:30:43,216 --> 00:30:46,925
of the state department
over ten years ago,

456
00:30:47,137 --> 00:30:50,470
by communists who were employees
of that department,

457
00:30:50,682 --> 00:30:52,138
and who were interested
in seeing

458
00:30:52,351 --> 00:30:54,888
that these documents
were sent to the Soviet union,

459
00:30:55,103 --> 00:30:56,623
where the interests
of the Soviet union

460
00:30:56,772 --> 00:30:59,639
happened to be in conflict
with those of the United States.

461
00:30:59,858 --> 00:31:01,769
J I'm no communist,

462
00:31:01,985 --> 00:31:04,021
and I'll tell you that
right now j

463
00:31:04,237 --> 00:31:08,571
j I believe a man should own
his own house and car and cow j

464
00:31:08,784 --> 00:31:12,777
j I like this private ownership
and I want to be left alone j

465
00:31:12,996 --> 00:31:14,702
j let the government
run its business

466
00:31:14,915 --> 00:31:16,906
and let me run my own j

467
00:31:22,589 --> 00:31:25,706
Our education is
proceeding apace

468
00:31:25,926 --> 00:31:31,262
as to how Russia operates
and how they got the atom bomb,

469
00:31:31,473 --> 00:31:36,058
not by independent research,
but from America,

470
00:31:36,269 --> 00:31:38,430
from traitors
within our own ranks.

471
00:32:46,131 --> 00:32:47,211
Here is a special broadcast

472
00:32:47,340 --> 00:32:48,955
on the scene of
sing sing prison,

473
00:32:49,176 --> 00:32:50,936
where the rosenbergs
have just been executed.

474
00:32:52,095 --> 00:32:54,211
Julius and Ethel Rosenberg

475
00:32:54,431 --> 00:32:55,796
have gone to the electric chair.

476
00:32:58,685 --> 00:33:00,721
First to go
into the death chamber

477
00:33:00,937 --> 00:33:03,929
was Julius Rosenberg.

478
00:33:04,149 --> 00:33:07,312
He wore an impassive expression
on his face.

479
00:33:07,527 --> 00:33:09,358
He walked in slowly.

480
00:33:09,571 --> 00:33:12,028
He was preceded by a rabbi

481
00:33:12,240 --> 00:33:13,821
who was chanting the 23rd psalm,

482
00:33:14,034 --> 00:33:16,992
which everyone knows very well.

483
00:33:17,204 --> 00:33:19,946
He proceeded immediately
over to the chair.

484
00:33:20,165 --> 00:33:21,996
He didn't say a word to anyone,

485
00:33:22,209 --> 00:33:23,949
hardly glanced at anyone.

486
00:33:24,169 --> 00:33:28,253
He sat down on the chair,
the straps were applied,

487
00:33:28,465 --> 00:33:30,080
and the first jolt
of electricity

488
00:33:30,300 --> 00:33:32,666
was sent through his body
at 8:04 tonight.

489
00:33:34,971 --> 00:33:36,131
She died a lot harder.

490
00:33:38,725 --> 00:33:41,216
When it appeared that she had
received enough electricity

491
00:33:41,436 --> 00:33:43,222
to kill an ordinary person,

492
00:33:43,438 --> 00:33:45,599
and had received
the exact amount

493
00:33:45,815 --> 00:33:48,397
that had killed her husband,

494
00:33:48,610 --> 00:33:51,317
the doctors went over
and pulled down the cheap...

495
00:33:51,530 --> 00:33:57,025
Prison dress,
a little dark green printed job,

496
00:33:57,244 --> 00:33:59,451
and placed the
steso... "Stethocopes"...

497
00:33:59,663 --> 00:34:00,778
"Stetho," I can't say it.

498
00:34:04,417 --> 00:34:07,500
Placed the stethoscopes, uh,

499
00:34:07,712 --> 00:34:09,748
to her, and then looked around,

500
00:34:09,965 --> 00:34:11,501
looked at each other
rather dumbfounded

501
00:34:11,716 --> 00:34:15,174
and seemed surprised
that she was not dead.

502
00:34:18,265 --> 00:34:20,159
Believing she was dead,
the attendants had taken off

503
00:34:20,183 --> 00:34:24,517
the ghastly strappings
and electrodes

504
00:34:24,729 --> 00:34:27,562
and the black belts
and so forth.

505
00:34:29,609 --> 00:34:33,978
And these had to be
readjusted again, and...

506
00:34:34,197 --> 00:34:35,687
And she was given
more electricity,

507
00:34:35,907 --> 00:34:40,571
which started again a...

508
00:34:40,787 --> 00:34:44,371
Kind of a ghastly plume of smoke
that Rose from her head...

509
00:34:46,251 --> 00:34:51,245
And went up against
the skylight overhead.

510
00:34:56,094 --> 00:34:57,959
After two more of those jolts...

511
00:35:01,725 --> 00:35:06,139
Ethel Rosenberg
had met her maker.

512
00:35:06,354 --> 00:35:08,140
She'll have a lot of
explaining to do too.

513
00:35:08,356 --> 00:35:09,356
Thank you.

514
00:35:11,526 --> 00:35:13,391
Immediately after
the execution, of course,

515
00:35:13,612 --> 00:35:15,978
the bodies were taken away.

516
00:35:16,197 --> 00:35:17,778
There is nothing much further
to report

517
00:35:17,991 --> 00:35:20,152
at this particular time.

518
00:35:20,368 --> 00:35:22,484
There have been
no demonstrations.

519
00:35:22,704 --> 00:35:24,444
The heat has been
extremely intense here.

520
00:35:24,664 --> 00:35:25,744
There's a heavy pall,

521
00:35:25,957 --> 00:35:28,289
and there has been
an air of deep tension

522
00:35:28,501 --> 00:35:30,241
about this whole proceeding
up here,

523
00:35:30,462 --> 00:35:31,577
but it is now all over,

524
00:35:31,796 --> 00:35:33,286
the news men have dispersed,

525
00:35:33,506 --> 00:35:35,292
and Julius and Ethel Rosenberg

526
00:35:35,508 --> 00:35:36,873
have gone to the electric chair.

527
00:35:39,304 --> 00:35:43,092
That was an on-the-spot report
on the execution tonight

528
00:35:43,308 --> 00:35:46,095
at sing sing prison
of Ethel and Julius Rosenberg.

529
00:35:47,646 --> 00:35:49,477
Now the great day show,

530
00:35:49,689 --> 00:35:51,429
as we join red Benson
and the gang

531
00:35:51,650 --> 00:35:53,857
at the marine barracks
in Brooklyn Navy yard.

532
00:35:54,069 --> 00:35:55,559
The program is already
in progress.

533
00:36:13,046 --> 00:36:16,129
The question before us is this:

534
00:36:16,341 --> 00:36:18,047
Should the hydrogen bomb
be built?

535
00:36:20,637 --> 00:36:21,752
All the world knows

536
00:36:21,971 --> 00:36:25,680
we Americans are constructive,
not destructive.

537
00:36:25,892 --> 00:36:28,099
However distasteful
this may be to us,

538
00:36:28,311 --> 00:36:30,017
there is no choice
in the matter:

539
00:36:30,230 --> 00:36:31,970
Let us build the bomb.

540
00:36:32,190 --> 00:36:33,930
It is my decided opinion

541
00:36:34,150 --> 00:36:35,430
that the United States
of America

542
00:36:35,610 --> 00:36:38,693
should immediately begin
the construction of the h bomb.

543
00:36:38,905 --> 00:36:41,647
I feel we must make the h bomb.

544
00:36:41,866 --> 00:36:44,528
It is my personal opinion
that we should manufacture

545
00:36:44,744 --> 00:36:46,655
and produce the h bomb
in quantity.

546
00:36:46,871 --> 00:36:49,112
The Russians will try it anyhow,

547
00:36:49,332 --> 00:36:51,573
and should they learn
the secret of its manufacture

548
00:36:51,793 --> 00:36:53,249
before we do,

549
00:36:53,461 --> 00:36:56,669
the life and security
of all freedom-loving people

550
00:36:56,881 --> 00:36:58,587
will be in danger.

551
00:36:58,800 --> 00:37:00,961
I would like to add however

552
00:37:01,177 --> 00:37:02,633
that the United States
of America

553
00:37:02,846 --> 00:37:05,428
should not necessarily use
this bomb,

554
00:37:05,640 --> 00:37:08,382
but rather look upon it
as a peaceful guardian

555
00:37:08,601 --> 00:37:11,843
and protector
of the basic American doctrines

556
00:37:12,063 --> 00:37:13,769
of Liberty and democracy

557
00:37:13,982 --> 00:37:17,065
against the obstacles
of red fascisms,

558
00:37:17,277 --> 00:37:19,268
materialistic,
and atheistic philosophy.

559
00:37:20,822 --> 00:37:22,983
If the communist bloc
does attack,

560
00:37:23,199 --> 00:37:25,815
our radar sites and observers
will sound the alert.

561
00:37:30,039 --> 00:37:32,280
Giant bombers
will take to the air.

562
00:37:33,626 --> 00:37:35,287
Jet fighters will stream aloft.

563
00:37:37,172 --> 00:37:39,504
Fighters will account
for some of the enemies,

564
00:37:39,716 --> 00:37:42,253
but some will get through
to your home.

565
00:37:50,393 --> 00:37:53,510
In times of social crisis
and tension,

566
00:37:53,730 --> 00:37:56,312
in times when changes
come so thick and fast

567
00:37:56,524 --> 00:37:57,934
that the individual
can no longer

568
00:37:58,151 --> 00:38:00,187
place himself in his group,

569
00:38:00,403 --> 00:38:02,394
when he knows
that something is wrong,

570
00:38:02,614 --> 00:38:03,899
but doesn't know what,

571
00:38:04,115 --> 00:38:06,106
when he feels himself a pawn,

572
00:38:06,326 --> 00:38:08,032
in times like these,

573
00:38:08,244 --> 00:38:10,860
most men become
highly suggestible.

574
00:38:11,080 --> 00:38:12,820
They listen eagerly
for any voice

575
00:38:13,041 --> 00:38:15,202
which sounds authoritative.

576
00:38:15,418 --> 00:38:18,751
They listen eagerly for anyone
who can tell them what is wrong

577
00:38:18,963 --> 00:38:20,294
and what to do to right it,

578
00:38:20,507 --> 00:38:22,122
who can diagnose their trouble

579
00:38:22,342 --> 00:38:23,673
and prescribe a cure.

580
00:38:23,885 --> 00:38:27,673
J eisenhower,

581
00:38:27,889 --> 00:38:31,723

j I'm gonna give my vote
to you jj

590
00:39:03,800 --> 00:39:06,337
I don't mean to say,
and no one can say to you,

591
00:39:06,553 --> 00:39:08,293
that there are no dangers.

592
00:39:08,513 --> 00:39:10,970
Of course there are risks
if we are not vigilant,

593
00:39:11,182 --> 00:39:13,423
but we do not have
to be hysterical.

594
00:39:13,643 --> 00:39:16,225
We can be vigilant,
we can be Americans,

595
00:39:16,437 --> 00:39:18,894
we can stand up and hold
up our heads and say:

596
00:39:19,107 --> 00:39:21,223
America is the greatest force

597
00:39:21,442 --> 00:39:24,775
that god has ever allowed
to exist on his footstool.

598
00:39:24,988 --> 00:39:28,731
As such, it is up to us
to lead this world

599
00:39:28,950 --> 00:39:31,362
to a peaceful
and secure existence,

600
00:39:31,578 --> 00:39:33,785
and I assure you: We can do it.

601
00:39:35,540 --> 00:39:37,826
Now, if we first take a look

602
00:39:38,042 --> 00:39:39,202
at the strength of America...

603
00:39:43,006 --> 00:39:44,542
You and I know that it's

604
00:39:44,757 --> 00:39:47,999
the most productive nation
on earth,

605
00:39:48,219 --> 00:39:50,881
that we are richer,
by any standard of comparison,

606
00:39:51,097 --> 00:39:53,053
than is any other nation
in the world.

607
00:39:56,519 --> 00:39:58,635
We know that we have
great military strength,

608
00:39:58,855 --> 00:40:00,391
economic, intellectual.

609
00:40:03,151 --> 00:40:06,314
But all in all,
this total strength of America

610
00:40:06,529 --> 00:40:08,440
is one of those things
we called,

611
00:40:08,656 --> 00:40:10,612
and the world calls,
unbelievable.

612
00:40:49,656 --> 00:40:52,489
Now, why then,
with all this strength

613
00:40:52,700 --> 00:40:55,533
should we be worrying at times

614
00:40:55,745 --> 00:40:58,157
about what the world
is doing to us?

615
00:40:58,373 --> 00:41:02,537
Actually we see threats
coming from all angles,

616
00:41:02,752 --> 00:41:04,117
internal and external,

617
00:41:04,337 --> 00:41:05,977
and we wonder
what's going to happen to us

618
00:41:06,130 --> 00:41:08,667
individually and as a nation.

619
00:41:08,883 --> 00:41:10,544
Now, perhaps...

620
00:41:10,760 --> 00:41:13,092
I can illustrate
some of the reasons

621
00:41:13,304 --> 00:41:15,545
for this concern of today.

622
00:41:15,765 --> 00:41:18,723
Now, only a year ago

623
00:41:18,935 --> 00:41:21,972
a hydrogen bomb was exploded
in the pacific.

624
00:41:26,275 --> 00:41:28,186
Last month,

625
00:41:28,403 --> 00:41:30,018
another series of these
was undertaken.

626
00:41:31,906 --> 00:41:35,273
Now this transfer of power,

627
00:41:35,493 --> 00:41:37,358
this increase of power

628
00:41:37,578 --> 00:41:41,241
from the mere musket
and the little Cannon

629
00:41:41,457 --> 00:41:44,870
all the way to the hydrogen bomb
in a single lifetime

630
00:41:45,086 --> 00:41:47,498
is indicative of the things
that have happened to us.

631
00:41:47,714 --> 00:41:52,333
They rather indicate how far
the advances of science

632
00:41:52,552 --> 00:41:54,383
have outraced
our social consciousness.

633
00:41:59,684 --> 00:42:03,142
How much more we have
developed scientifically

634
00:42:03,354 --> 00:42:07,393
than we are capable of handling
emotionally and intellectually.

635
00:42:11,529 --> 00:42:16,319
So that is one of the reasons
that we have this great concern,

636
00:42:16,534 --> 00:42:20,402
of which the hydrogen bomb
is merely a dramatic symbol.

637
00:42:39,432 --> 00:42:41,388
- Dad, I finished.
- Okay, okay.

638
00:42:41,601 --> 00:42:42,260
Me too.

639
00:42:42,477 --> 00:42:43,683
The new puzzle, where is it?

640
00:42:43,895 --> 00:42:45,635
- On my bookcase.
- Thanks, daddy.

641
00:42:57,909 --> 00:43:00,116
Kenny, let's have some news,
it's about that time.

642
00:43:00,328 --> 00:43:01,943
Come on, dad.
You can watch that show

643
00:43:02,163 --> 00:43:04,245
some other time.

644
00:43:04,457 --> 00:43:06,038
Okay.

645
00:43:06,250 --> 00:43:07,250
Thanks.

646
00:43:08,795 --> 00:43:10,626
Anyone of intelligence
and information

647
00:43:10,838 --> 00:43:11,878
is hoping and praying that

648
00:43:12,048 --> 00:43:14,004
we won't have a third world war,

649
00:43:14,217 --> 00:43:16,879
because in this age
of the atomic weapon,

650
00:43:17,095 --> 00:43:18,460
war would be... a third world war

651
00:43:18,679 --> 00:43:21,341
would be a catastrophe
for all mankind,

652
00:43:21,557 --> 00:43:23,798
and then finally,
and this is quite significant,

653
00:43:24,018 --> 00:43:26,430
about 60%
of the American people revealed,

654
00:43:26,646 --> 00:43:27,686
in the study which we made

655
00:43:27,855 --> 00:43:29,846
through the university
of Michigan a year ago,

656
00:43:30,066 --> 00:43:32,557
that they believed
that the military could stop

657
00:43:32,777 --> 00:43:34,857
the atomic bombs from falling
upon the United States.

658
00:43:34,987 --> 00:43:36,173
Well, I'm sorry
to have to tell you

659
00:43:36,197 --> 00:43:37,653
that the military will tell you

660
00:43:37,865 --> 00:43:38,980
that as of today

661
00:43:39,200 --> 00:43:41,156
they cannot stop
a successful Russian attack.

662
00:43:41,369 --> 00:43:43,360
That can be corroborated
rather dramatically,

663
00:43:43,579 --> 00:43:45,179
and we didn't plan
it this way, governor,

664
00:43:45,206 --> 00:43:47,447
but the floor manager
has just handed me a bulletin

665
00:43:47,667 --> 00:43:51,410
saying that the Russians have
just exploded a hydrogen bomb.

666
00:44:00,012 --> 00:44:02,845
We must learn to live in a world

667
00:44:03,057 --> 00:44:05,594
where we have the hydrogen bomb

668
00:44:05,810 --> 00:44:07,266
and the enemy of freedom

669
00:44:07,478 --> 00:44:08,934
has the hydrogen bomb.

670
00:44:10,439 --> 00:44:12,930
It can destroy any city,

671
00:44:13,151 --> 00:44:15,267
that means fort worth
and Dallas,

672
00:44:15,486 --> 00:44:17,727
Houston, San Antonio, amarillo,

673
00:44:17,947 --> 00:44:20,484
El Paso, yes, Johnson city.

674
00:44:24,036 --> 00:44:27,995
J every dollar I make
goes for taxes and bills and

675
00:44:28,207 --> 00:44:31,916
j perhaps they've discovered
the cure for my ills

676
00:44:32,128 --> 00:44:35,620
j ho, hai, ho,
the hydrogen bomb j

677
00:44:35,840 --> 00:44:39,424
j bless it all,
oh, let it fall »

678
00:44:39,635 --> 00:44:42,968
j ho, hai, ho,
the hydrogen bomb j

679
00:44:43,181 --> 00:44:45,968
j oh, god, have mercy on me jj

680
00:45:04,785 --> 00:45:07,618
The problem this time
is especially acute

681
00:45:07,830 --> 00:45:09,912
because this entire area
of the pacific

682
00:45:10,124 --> 00:45:12,740
is subject
to radiological fallout,

683
00:45:12,960 --> 00:45:16,327
and this area is inhabited
by some 20,000 people.

684
00:45:27,725 --> 00:45:30,091
The meteorologists had
predicted a wind condition

685
00:45:30,311 --> 00:45:33,053
which should have carried
the fallout to the north

686
00:45:33,272 --> 00:45:35,308
of the group of small atolls

687
00:45:35,524 --> 00:45:37,765
lying to the east of bikini.

688
00:45:37,985 --> 00:45:40,351
The wind failed
to follow the predictions

689
00:45:40,571 --> 00:45:42,983
but shifted south of that line,

690
00:45:43,199 --> 00:45:45,611
and the little islands
of rongelap, rongerik,

691
00:45:45,826 --> 00:45:48,693
and utirik were in
the edge of the path

692
00:45:48,913 --> 00:45:49,913
of the fallout.

693
00:45:50,748 --> 00:45:51,783
The task force commander

694
00:45:51,999 --> 00:45:52,999
promptly evacuated

695
00:45:53,125 --> 00:45:55,081
all the people
from these islands.

696
00:45:55,294 --> 00:45:57,660
They were taken to
the island of kwajalein,

697
00:45:57,880 --> 00:45:59,836
where we maintain
a naval establishment,

698
00:46:00,049 --> 00:46:01,630
and there
placed under continuous

699
00:46:01,842 --> 00:46:04,083
and competent
medical supervision.

700
00:46:04,303 --> 00:46:05,839
I visited them there last week.

701
00:46:08,182 --> 00:46:11,640
Today, a full month
after the event,

702
00:46:11,852 --> 00:46:14,218
the medical staff
on kwajalein have advised us

703
00:46:14,438 --> 00:46:16,520
that they anticipate no illness,

704
00:46:16,732 --> 00:46:18,142
barring, of course,

705
00:46:18,359 --> 00:46:20,315
diseases which may be
hereafter contracted.

706
00:46:22,113 --> 00:46:23,944
The 236 natives appeared to me

707
00:46:24,156 --> 00:46:25,646
to be well and happy.

708
00:46:28,869 --> 00:46:31,451
The survey aircraft
carefully searched the area

709
00:46:31,664 --> 00:46:33,871
and reported no shipping.

710
00:46:34,083 --> 00:46:36,540
A Japanese fishing trawler

711
00:46:36,752 --> 00:46:39,209
appears to have been
missed by the search,

712
00:46:39,422 --> 00:46:40,422
but based on a statement

713
00:46:40,464 --> 00:46:42,375
attributed to her skipper,

714
00:46:42,591 --> 00:46:45,207
to the effect that he saw
the flash of the explosion

715
00:46:45,428 --> 00:46:48,010
and heard the concussion
six minutes later,

716
00:46:48,222 --> 00:46:50,508
it must have been well
within the danger area.

717
00:46:56,689 --> 00:46:57,809
At the time of the explosion

718
00:46:57,940 --> 00:47:00,101
the tuna ship had been
sailing far outside

719
00:47:00,318 --> 00:47:03,401
the designated safe
area of a 75-mile radius.

720
00:47:03,612 --> 00:47:05,648
Three hours after the h-bomb
had been detonated,

721
00:47:05,865 --> 00:47:07,480
a downpour of radioactive ash

722
00:47:07,700 --> 00:47:08,980
descended on
the fortunate dragon

723
00:47:09,160 --> 00:47:10,525
and its crew of 23.

724
00:47:10,745 --> 00:47:13,361
None of them knew the nature
of the deadly snow.

725
00:47:13,581 --> 00:47:15,061
It was three days more
before the ship

726
00:47:15,166 --> 00:47:16,906
and its contaminated crew
and fishing catch

727
00:47:17,126 --> 00:47:18,126
sailed into port.

728
00:47:18,169 --> 00:47:19,313
By that time the men suffered

729
00:47:19,337 --> 00:47:20,497
from the beginning symptoms

730
00:47:20,713 --> 00:47:22,203
of deadly radiation poisoning.

731
00:47:24,258 --> 00:47:24,963
By the time their illnesses

732
00:47:25,176 --> 00:47:26,541
had been properly diagnosed,

733
00:47:26,761 --> 00:47:28,376
the hot fish brought back
in their holds

734
00:47:28,596 --> 00:47:30,302
had been sold into markets
all over Japan.

735
00:47:30,514 --> 00:47:31,674
A panic ensued.

736
00:47:31,891 --> 00:47:33,301
Midnight burials
of recent catches

737
00:47:33,517 --> 00:47:35,053
in the vicinity
of the h-bomb explosion

738
00:47:35,269 --> 00:47:37,385
took place all over Japan.

739
00:47:37,605 --> 00:47:39,405
The bottom had dropped
out of the fish market,

740
00:47:39,565 --> 00:47:41,885
and the Japanese people chose
to do without the staple food

741
00:47:42,068 --> 00:47:43,899
for a long time
after the tragic affair.

742
00:47:45,029 --> 00:47:46,109
Another byproduct

743
00:47:46,322 --> 00:47:47,682
of the stupendous
mid-pacific blast

744
00:47:47,740 --> 00:47:49,480
unfolds in San Francisco,

745
00:47:49,700 --> 00:47:50,985
where tuna fish,

746
00:47:51,202 --> 00:47:53,534
supposedly made radioactive
during the tests,

747
00:47:53,746 --> 00:47:55,407
are scrutinized
by federal agents

748
00:47:55,623 --> 00:47:56,988
armed with geiger counters,

749
00:47:57,208 --> 00:47:59,073
for signs of contamination.

750
00:48:00,169 --> 00:48:01,249
Hot tea, anyone?

751
00:48:01,462 --> 00:48:02,462
That's not an invitation,

752
00:48:02,588 --> 00:48:03,703
it's a problem brewed

753
00:48:03,923 --> 00:48:05,629
for the coast guard and customs

754
00:48:05,841 --> 00:48:07,752
by the arrival
in Brooklyn of a cargo

755
00:48:07,968 --> 00:48:10,459
of Japanese tea
slightly radioactive.

756
00:48:10,679 --> 00:48:12,886
Final conclusion:
The tea's radioactivity

757
00:48:13,099 --> 00:48:14,339
is within safety limits,

758
00:48:14,558 --> 00:48:16,219
not too hot to handle.

759
00:48:22,149 --> 00:48:23,639
- Warm.
- Yeah.

760
00:48:23,859 --> 00:48:25,815
June in January,
that's what I say.

761
00:48:26,028 --> 00:48:28,644
If you ask me, I think it's
because of those atom bombs.

762
00:48:30,074 --> 00:48:31,484
- Yeah?
- Yeah.

763
00:48:31,700 --> 00:48:33,656
They've done some
cockeyed things to the world.

764
00:48:33,869 --> 00:48:35,825
I think they've knocked us
south of the equator.

765
00:48:58,269 --> 00:48:59,975
Just like I keep saying,

766
00:49:00,187 --> 00:49:02,098
well, everybody's so uncertain
about everything.

767
00:49:02,314 --> 00:49:03,917
They don't seem to know
what's gonna happen.

768
00:49:03,941 --> 00:49:06,057
Bourbon, straight.

769
00:49:06,277 --> 00:49:07,608
Well, as I was saying,

770
00:49:07,820 --> 00:49:09,060
I wouldn't worry nearly as much

771
00:49:09,280 --> 00:49:10,280
about the atom bomb

772
00:49:10,364 --> 00:49:11,644
if it were to kill you
right out.

773
00:49:13,033 --> 00:49:14,694
What scares me is that awful gas

774
00:49:14,910 --> 00:49:15,910
that deforms you.

775
00:49:17,872 --> 00:49:20,830
- Yeah, that would be bad.
- Yeah.

776
00:49:30,217 --> 00:49:32,629
J it's the drink

777
00:49:32,845 --> 00:49:34,506
j now when you take one sip,

778
00:49:34,722 --> 00:49:37,304

779

780

j boom, atomic cocktail j

781
00:50:49,004 --> 00:50:50,941
Corporal, could you give me
your name and hometown address?

782
00:50:50,965 --> 00:50:52,275
My name is
corporal George morland

783
00:50:52,299 --> 00:50:53,914
and I'm from elmhurst, Illinois.

784
00:50:54,134 --> 00:50:55,749
I'm tech sergeant George portell

785
00:50:55,970 --> 00:50:57,801
from Dorchester, Massachusetts.

786
00:50:58,013 --> 00:50:59,503
Jerry snyder
from Cheyenne, Wyoming.

787
00:50:59,723 --> 00:51:00,723
Sergeant Weaver.

788
00:51:00,849 --> 00:51:01,463
And where are you from,
sergeant Weaver?

789
00:51:01,684 --> 00:51:02,799
Columbus, Georgia.

790
00:51:03,018 --> 00:51:05,475
- Where you from, Rogers?
- Portland, Oregon.

791
00:51:05,688 --> 00:51:07,303
- Where are you from?
- New York City.

792
00:51:07,523 --> 00:51:08,959
- Louisville, Kentucky.
- Liberal, Kansas.

793
00:51:08,983 --> 00:51:10,460
- Jefferson city, Missouri.
- Saint Paul, Minnesota.

794
00:51:10,484 --> 00:51:12,045
- Fort huachuca, Arizona.
- Wakeeney, Kansas.

795
00:51:12,069 --> 00:51:13,275
Leesburg, New Jersey.

796
00:51:14,905 --> 00:51:16,190
Gentlemen, I want to welcome you

797
00:51:16,407 --> 00:51:17,522
to camp desert rock.

798
00:51:18,909 --> 00:51:20,945
This will be your last briefing

799
00:51:21,161 --> 00:51:22,776
before you go out
to the forward area

800
00:51:22,997 --> 00:51:25,739
and take part
in an atomic detonation.

801
00:51:27,001 --> 00:51:28,707
The tactical situation behind

802
00:51:28,919 --> 00:51:30,830
troop test "smokey" is this:

803
00:51:31,046 --> 00:51:32,286
The mythical enemy,

804
00:51:32,506 --> 00:51:34,542
which has landed
on the coast of California,

805
00:51:34,758 --> 00:51:37,340
has made a deep penetration
close to supplies,

806
00:51:37,553 --> 00:51:38,759
special weapons storage,

807
00:51:38,971 --> 00:51:40,802
and missile launching
installations

808
00:51:41,015 --> 00:51:43,347
in the vicinity
of Las Vegas and hoover dam.

809
00:51:45,227 --> 00:51:47,092
The tactical commander
decided at this point

810
00:51:47,313 --> 00:51:48,428
to use an atomic weapon

811
00:51:48,647 --> 00:51:50,933
in his assault on the enemy.

812
00:51:51,150 --> 00:51:52,890
The mission of these men
is to move

813
00:51:53,110 --> 00:51:55,396
as quickly as possible
into the blasted area

814
00:51:55,613 --> 00:51:57,854
and exploit the breach
in the enemy lines.

815
00:51:59,908 --> 00:52:01,944
You are here to participate

816
00:52:02,161 --> 00:52:04,698
in an atomic maneuver.

817
00:52:04,913 --> 00:52:08,326
This is not
a haphazard maneuver.

818
00:52:08,542 --> 00:52:11,750
Careful planning for it
started months back.

819
00:52:11,962 --> 00:52:13,918
Watched from a safe distance,

820
00:52:14,131 --> 00:52:16,543
this explosion is one
of the most beautiful sights

821
00:52:16,759 --> 00:52:18,841
ever seen by man.

822
00:52:19,053 --> 00:52:21,760
You're probably saying:
So it's beautiful.

823
00:52:21,972 --> 00:52:23,883
What makes it so dangerous?

824
00:52:24,099 --> 00:52:25,714
Basically there are only

825
00:52:25,934 --> 00:52:28,801
three things to think about.

826
00:52:29,021 --> 00:52:30,386
Blast.

827
00:52:33,651 --> 00:52:34,651
Heat.

828
00:52:36,820 --> 00:52:38,606
And radiation.

829
00:52:43,077 --> 00:52:44,237
Radiation:

830
00:52:44,453 --> 00:52:46,489
This is the one new effect

831
00:52:46,705 --> 00:52:49,822
obtained by the use
of an atomic weapon.

832
00:52:50,042 --> 00:52:52,454
Truthfully,
it's the least important

833
00:52:52,670 --> 00:52:54,080
of the three effects,

834
00:52:54,296 --> 00:52:57,129
as far as the soldier
on the ground is concerned.

835
00:52:57,341 --> 00:52:59,707
You can't see radiation,

836
00:52:59,927 --> 00:53:01,918
feel it, smell it, or taste it.

837
00:53:03,430 --> 00:53:07,093
Film badges and dosimeters
issued to you

838
00:53:07,309 --> 00:53:10,551
enable the radiological
safety monitor in your unit

839
00:53:10,771 --> 00:53:12,853
to read the amount
of your exposure.

840
00:53:14,274 --> 00:53:16,185
The radiation level may be high,

841
00:53:16,402 --> 00:53:17,733
but if you follow orders,

842
00:53:17,945 --> 00:53:21,437
you'll be moved out
in time to avoid sickness.

843
00:53:21,657 --> 00:53:24,114
Finally, if you receive
enough gamma radiation

844
00:53:24,326 --> 00:53:27,159
to cause sterility
or severe sickness,

845
00:53:27,371 --> 00:53:28,986
you'll be killed by blast,

846
00:53:29,206 --> 00:53:31,162
flying debris, or heat anyway.

847
00:53:34,420 --> 00:53:36,502
Well, that's the story.

848
00:53:36,714 --> 00:53:38,545
Don't worry about yourselves.

849
00:53:38,757 --> 00:53:40,338
As far as the test is concerned,

850
00:53:40,551 --> 00:53:42,462
you'll be okay.

851
00:53:44,430 --> 00:53:45,430
Well, we knew now exactly

852
00:53:45,639 --> 00:53:47,504
where we'd be for the big show.

853
00:53:47,725 --> 00:53:49,716
All we had to do is wait.

854
00:53:49,935 --> 00:53:51,391
Now that it's so close

855
00:53:51,603 --> 00:53:54,470
it makes you feel
kind of restless.

856
00:53:54,690 --> 00:53:57,648
You wonder if everything's
gonna turn out all right.

857
00:53:57,860 --> 00:54:00,317
It filled your mind
no matter what you were doing.

858
00:54:01,864 --> 00:54:03,525
What seems to be the trouble,
soldier?

859
00:54:03,741 --> 00:54:05,322
You look a little bit worried.

860
00:54:05,534 --> 00:54:07,900
Well, I am, chaplain,
just a little bit.

861
00:54:08,120 --> 00:54:09,701
Actually there's no need
to be worried

862
00:54:09,913 --> 00:54:10,913
as the army has taken

863
00:54:11,123 --> 00:54:13,159
all of the necessary precautions

864
00:54:13,375 --> 00:54:15,411
to see that
we're perfectly safe here.

865
00:54:16,712 --> 00:54:17,731
Sir, have you ever been out

866
00:54:17,755 --> 00:54:19,291
oh one of these shots before?

867
00:54:19,506 --> 00:54:21,246
Yes, I've had the opportunity

868
00:54:21,467 --> 00:54:23,924
to see a number
of the atomic tests.

869
00:54:24,136 --> 00:54:25,751
I feel that as a chaplain,

870
00:54:25,971 --> 00:54:29,429
it is my responsibility
to be with my men.

871
00:54:29,641 --> 00:54:31,222
What's it like, chaplain?

872
00:54:31,435 --> 00:54:35,269
First of all, one sees
a very, very bright light,

873
00:54:35,481 --> 00:54:37,142
followed by a shockwave,

874
00:54:37,357 --> 00:54:39,063
and then you hear
the sound of the blast

875
00:54:39,276 --> 00:54:42,939
and then it seems as though
there's a minor earthquake.

876
00:54:43,155 --> 00:54:46,363
And then you look up
and you see the fireball

877
00:54:46,575 --> 00:54:49,237
as it ascends
up into the heaven.

878
00:54:49,453 --> 00:54:52,365
It's a wonderful sight
to behold.

879
00:55:02,049 --> 00:55:03,334
30 seconds.

880
00:55:16,980 --> 00:55:18,936
15 seconds.

881
00:55:22,069 --> 00:55:23,069
10 seconds.

882
00:55:27,491 --> 00:55:31,951
Five, four, three, two, one.

883
00:55:59,314 --> 00:56:01,851
The blast shock passes
in a matter of seconds

884
00:56:02,067 --> 00:56:03,978
and the heat and blast effects

885
00:56:04,194 --> 00:56:05,525
you can see and feel.

886
00:56:05,737 --> 00:56:07,147
You cannot sense the presence

887
00:56:07,364 --> 00:56:09,605
of nuclear radiation effects.

888
00:56:09,825 --> 00:56:11,156
Alpha and beta particles,

889
00:56:11,368 --> 00:56:13,199
because of their
low penetrating power,

890
00:56:13,412 --> 00:56:15,494
are stopped by most surfaces,

891
00:56:15,706 --> 00:56:17,446
even a soldier's skin.

892
00:56:17,666 --> 00:56:18,666
They are a hazard

893
00:56:18,709 --> 00:56:19,869
only when materials

894
00:56:20,085 --> 00:56:21,120
emitting these particles

895
00:56:21,336 --> 00:56:22,336
get into the body

896
00:56:22,421 --> 00:56:24,207
through breaks in the skin

897
00:56:24,423 --> 00:56:29,588
or through the nose or mouth.

898
00:56:29,803 --> 00:56:30,864
Did you keep your mouth shut

899
00:56:30,888 --> 00:56:31,990
or did you get
a mouthful of dirt?

900
00:56:32,014 --> 00:56:33,629
I got a mouthful
and a face full of dirt.

901
00:56:38,312 --> 00:56:40,724
How about all that smoke
and dust and radiation?

902
00:56:40,939 --> 00:56:42,395
What did you... =i couldn't see.

903
00:56:42,608 --> 00:56:43,973
I couldn't see
for quite a spell.

904
00:56:44,192 --> 00:56:46,057
Just a haze.

905
00:56:54,786 --> 00:56:56,055
Private young,
did you wear any type

906
00:56:56,079 --> 00:56:58,035
of protective clothing
or just what did you wear?

907
00:56:58,248 --> 00:56:59,954
No, just regular
gl work clothes.

908
00:57:04,171 --> 00:57:06,787
We see pinned on your lapels
here this white badge.

909
00:57:07,007 --> 00:57:08,622
Could you tell me what that is?

910
00:57:08,842 --> 00:57:10,798
That's a film badge
to determine,

911
00:57:11,011 --> 00:57:12,211
detect the amount of radiation

912
00:57:12,262 --> 00:57:14,253
you've received in the area.

913
00:57:14,473 --> 00:57:15,258
They can tell, commander,

914
00:57:15,474 --> 00:57:16,839
if you received a lethal dose.

915
00:57:17,059 --> 00:57:18,595
That's right, that's right,
they can.

916
00:57:58,600 --> 00:58:00,465
If you were driving
from Los Angeles

917
00:58:00,686 --> 00:58:03,393
to salt lake city
on us highway 91,

918
00:58:03,605 --> 00:58:06,472
you would pass through
Saint George, Utah,

919
00:58:06,692 --> 00:58:08,808
just a short way
from the Nevada test site

920
00:58:09,027 --> 00:58:11,188
140 miles to the west.

921
00:58:18,328 --> 00:58:19,328
Ladies and gentlemen,

922
00:58:19,454 --> 00:58:20,944
we interrupt this program

923
00:58:21,164 --> 00:58:23,621
to bring you important news.

924
00:58:23,834 --> 00:58:25,324
Word has just been received

925
00:58:25,544 --> 00:58:27,660
from the atomic energy
commission

926
00:58:27,879 --> 00:58:30,211
that due to a change
in wind direction

927
00:58:30,424 --> 00:58:33,291
the residue from this
morning's atomic detonation

928
00:58:33,510 --> 00:58:36,593
is drifting in the direction
of Saint George.

929
00:58:36,805 --> 00:58:39,387
It is suggested
that everyone remain indoors

930
00:58:39,599 --> 00:58:42,466
for one hour
or until further notice.

931
00:58:42,686 --> 00:58:44,017
There is no danger,

932
00:58:44,229 --> 00:58:45,435
this is simply routine

933
00:58:45,647 --> 00:58:48,309
atomic energy commission
safety procedure.

934
00:58:48,525 --> 00:58:50,140
Parents need not be alarmed

935
00:58:50,360 --> 00:58:51,941
about children at school.

936
00:58:52,154 --> 00:58:55,317
No recesses outdoors
will be permitted.

937
00:58:55,532 --> 00:58:58,023
And as the people
at Saint George took cover,

938
00:58:58,243 --> 00:58:59,574
it was natural that some of them

939
00:58:59,786 --> 00:59:02,027
have questions
about atomic tests.

940
00:59:02,247 --> 00:59:04,738
What is the atomic bomb?

941
00:59:04,958 --> 00:59:08,416
Why do we have to test bombs?

942
00:59:08,628 --> 00:59:10,334
How little an amount
of radiation

943
00:59:10,547 --> 00:59:13,254
will cause how many mutations?

944
00:59:13,467 --> 00:59:15,458
Never before have so many
known so little

945
00:59:15,677 --> 00:59:18,293
about a subject
so big and so important.

946
00:59:20,057 --> 00:59:21,337
The capabilities of most weapons

947
00:59:21,516 --> 00:59:22,756
are pretty well understood,

948
00:59:22,976 --> 00:59:25,012
but when it comes
to atomic explosions

949
00:59:25,228 --> 00:59:26,434
the guessing game starts.

950
00:59:27,981 --> 00:59:29,417
All right, let's take
a few minutes right now

951
00:59:29,441 --> 00:59:30,851
and get acquainted
with an a-bomb.

952
00:59:33,820 --> 00:59:35,310
Meet test Abel.

953
00:59:40,035 --> 00:59:42,492
A submarine bomb
exploded in a harbor

954
00:59:42,704 --> 00:59:44,990
might affect a city.

955
00:59:45,207 --> 00:59:48,199
The affected area would
be a poor picnic site,

956
00:59:48,418 --> 00:59:49,874
but might be entered briefly

957
00:59:50,087 --> 00:59:51,418
or passed through quickly

958
00:59:51,630 --> 00:59:53,791
with a varying degree of risk.

959
00:59:54,007 --> 00:59:55,963
Risk is something the military

960
00:59:56,176 --> 00:59:57,757
doesn't have a corner on.

961
00:59:57,969 --> 00:59:59,800
Occupational hazards
are accepted

962
01:00:00,013 --> 01:00:02,720
in a matter of fact manner
in civilian life.

963
01:00:02,933 --> 01:00:06,221
Risk is part of the pattern
of daily routine.

964
01:00:13,652 --> 01:00:14,652
Some of the falsehoods

965
01:00:14,861 --> 01:00:16,271
circulated about
radiation effects

966
01:00:16,488 --> 01:00:18,979
are trivial but upsetting.

967
01:00:19,199 --> 01:00:21,190
They're beamed right at
one's self-esteem.

968
01:00:23,120 --> 01:00:25,111
And will eventually result

969
01:00:25,330 --> 01:00:27,821
in a race of bald-headed people.

970
01:00:28,041 --> 01:00:29,827
Just imagine it.

971
01:00:30,043 --> 01:00:34,753
Imagine yourself with no hair.

972
01:00:34,965 --> 01:00:38,833
They'll call you old skinhead,
old chrome dome.

973
01:00:39,052 --> 01:00:41,589
And that's not all
radioactivity will do.

974
01:00:41,805 --> 01:00:43,261
It will...

975
01:00:43,473 --> 01:00:44,883
Enough exposure to radiation

976
01:00:45,100 --> 01:00:46,840
will cause loss of hair.

977
01:00:47,060 --> 01:00:48,516
The treatment, if you insist,

978
01:00:48,728 --> 01:00:51,561
would be symptomatic: A toupee.

979
01:00:51,773 --> 01:00:53,764
But the condition
would only be temporary.

980
01:00:53,984 --> 01:00:55,144
Your hair would come back,

981
01:00:55,360 --> 01:00:57,601
same color, same cowlick.

982
01:00:57,821 --> 01:00:59,021
Which puts the finger squarely

983
01:00:59,156 --> 01:01:00,771
upon one of the major fallacies

984
01:01:00,991 --> 01:01:01,991
in the public attitude

985
01:01:02,117 --> 01:01:04,449
toward atomic weapons:

986
01:01:04,661 --> 01:01:05,946
It's the fallacy of devoting

987
01:01:06,163 --> 01:01:08,449
eighty-five percent
of one's worrying capacity

988
01:01:08,665 --> 01:01:09,996
to an agent that constitutes

989
01:01:10,208 --> 01:01:12,244
only about fifteen percent

990
01:01:12,460 --> 01:01:15,042
of an atomic bomb's
destroying potential,

991
01:01:15,255 --> 01:01:17,587
and that's unsound, doesn't fit.

992
01:01:20,135 --> 01:01:21,716
There are those few
who loudly maintain

993
01:01:21,928 --> 01:01:23,128
that there is no actual threat

994
01:01:23,221 --> 01:01:24,677
to the free world at all,

995
01:01:24,890 --> 01:01:26,130
certainly none that can justify

996
01:01:26,308 --> 01:01:29,391
either nuclear testing
or nuclear armament.

997
01:01:29,603 --> 01:01:30,723
The opposite viewpoint holds

998
01:01:30,937 --> 01:01:32,768
that the development
of our nuclear power

999
01:01:32,981 --> 01:01:34,937
has been absolutely necessary
protection

1000
01:01:35,150 --> 01:01:38,313
against communist hostility
and nuclear threats.

1001
01:01:38,528 --> 01:01:39,643
In this view,

1002
01:01:39,863 --> 01:01:41,899
the fallout casualties, if any,

1003
01:01:42,115 --> 01:01:44,822
will be seen as those
of unidentified soldiers

1004
01:01:45,035 --> 01:01:46,900
in the service of humanity,

1005
01:01:47,120 --> 01:01:50,078
unknown soldiers in a war
which has not struck.

1006
01:01:58,506 --> 01:02:00,872
We're going to be talking
about nuclear energy

1007
01:02:01,092 --> 01:02:03,299
and the kinds of things
that could happen

1008
01:02:03,511 --> 01:02:05,593
with an atomic emergency.

1009
01:02:05,805 --> 01:02:09,389
And we do this not to worry you,

1010
01:02:09,601 --> 01:02:10,681
but, uh... or frighten you,

1011
01:02:10,852 --> 01:02:12,467
but really we've gotta admit

1012
01:02:12,687 --> 01:02:14,143
we live in a atomic age,

1013
01:02:14,356 --> 01:02:16,187
there is an atomic bomb,

1014
01:02:16,399 --> 01:02:18,185
so we have to be aware of this

1015
01:02:18,401 --> 01:02:20,642
and know what to do
in case an emergency happens.

1016
01:02:21,780 --> 01:02:22,519
If there will be a need

1017
01:02:22,739 --> 01:02:23,353
to spend two weeks

1018
01:02:23,573 --> 01:02:24,779
in a fallout shelter,

1019
01:02:24,991 --> 01:02:27,073
we have packed our survival kit.

1020
01:02:27,285 --> 01:02:28,900
For the food supply,

1021
01:02:29,120 --> 01:02:31,031
pack a variety of fruits,

1022
01:02:31,248 --> 01:02:35,491
soups, evaporated milk,

1023
01:02:35,710 --> 01:02:39,919
vegetables, napkins.

1024
01:02:40,131 --> 01:02:41,792
The purpose
of our demonstration today

1025
01:02:42,008 --> 01:02:45,421
is to show you
the actual preparation

1026
01:02:45,637 --> 01:02:47,343
of one of the meals
which was prepared

1027
01:02:47,555 --> 01:02:48,920
in a modern day cave.

1028
01:02:50,058 --> 01:02:51,058
One new meal consisted

1029
01:02:51,226 --> 01:02:52,306
of the following food.

1030
01:02:53,728 --> 01:02:54,728
Canned chicken.

1031
01:02:56,564 --> 01:02:57,564
Peas.

1032
01:02:59,276 --> 01:03:00,276
Irish potatoes.

1033
01:03:01,945 --> 01:03:03,105
Tomato juice.

1034
01:03:16,543 --> 01:03:19,250
My poster's on the defenses
against fallout,

1035
01:03:19,462 --> 01:03:20,827
and if you're caught outside

1036
01:03:21,047 --> 01:03:24,255
during a nuclear explosion,

1037
01:03:24,467 --> 01:03:26,628
decontamination
may be necessary.

1038
01:03:26,845 --> 01:03:27,965
You may have to burn or bury

1039
01:03:28,179 --> 01:03:29,715
all your clothes and food,

1040
01:03:29,931 --> 01:03:31,842
and afterwards
you should wash thoroughly.

1041
01:03:32,058 --> 01:03:34,549
John, let me interrupt you
here just a moment.

1042
01:03:34,769 --> 01:03:36,089
I have some film here
that I think

1043
01:03:36,146 --> 01:03:38,307
will describe what might happen

1044
01:03:38,523 --> 01:03:40,126
and will describe
a little about the atom.

1045
01:03:40,150 --> 01:03:42,516
So, Joey, why don't you catch
the lights and we'll try it?

1046
01:03:42,736 --> 01:03:43,816
- Okay?
- Good.

1047
01:03:50,744 --> 01:03:54,032
J there was a turtle
by the name of Burt

1048
01:03:54,247 --> 01:03:57,364
j and Burt the turtle
was very alert

1049
01:03:57,584 --> 01:04:00,496
j when danger threatened him,
he never got hurt j

1050
01:04:00,712 --> 01:04:03,499
j he know just what to do j

1051
01:04:03,715 --> 01:04:06,957
j he'd duck and cover j

1052
01:04:07,177 --> 01:04:10,385
j duck and cover j

1053
01:04:10,597 --> 01:04:12,258
now, you and I don't have shells

1054
01:04:12,474 --> 01:04:14,089
to crawl into
like Burt the turtle,

1055
01:04:14,309 --> 01:04:17,096
so we have to cover up
in our own way.

1056
01:04:17,312 --> 01:04:18,768
Paul and Patty know this.

1057
01:04:18,980 --> 01:04:21,096
No matter where they go
or what they do,

1058
01:04:21,316 --> 01:04:23,602
they always try
to remember what to do

1059
01:04:23,818 --> 01:04:26,685
if the atom bomb
explodes right then.

1060
01:04:26,905 --> 01:04:29,647
It's a bomb! Duck and cover!

1061
01:04:29,866 --> 01:04:32,357
Here's Tony going to
his cub scout meeting.

1062
01:04:32,577 --> 01:04:33,862
Tony knows the bomb can explode

1063
01:04:34,079 --> 01:04:35,079
any time of the year,

1064
01:04:35,205 --> 01:04:36,490
day or night.

1065
01:04:36,706 --> 01:04:38,287
Duck and cover!

1066
01:04:38,500 --> 01:04:39,535
Atta boy, Tony,

1067
01:04:39,751 --> 01:04:42,413
that flash means "act fast.”

1068
01:04:42,629 --> 01:04:45,166
Sundays, holidays,
vacation time,

1069
01:04:45,382 --> 01:04:48,215
we must be ready
every day all the time

1070
01:04:48,426 --> 01:04:49,836
to do the right thing

1071
01:04:50,053 --> 01:04:52,089
if the atomic bomb explodes.

1072
01:04:52,305 --> 01:04:54,045
Duck and cover!

1073
01:04:54,265 --> 01:04:55,596
That's the first thing to do:

1074
01:04:55,809 --> 01:04:57,265
Duck and cover.

1075
01:04:57,477 --> 01:05:01,095
First you duck, then you cover.

1076
01:05:01,314 --> 01:05:03,054
You duck and cover tight.

1077
01:05:03,274 --> 01:05:05,515
Duck and cover under the table.

1078
01:05:05,735 --> 01:05:07,350
It's a bomb! Duck and cover!

1079
01:05:07,570 --> 01:05:09,026
Duck and cover!

1080
01:05:09,239 --> 01:05:10,945
Duck and cover!

1081
01:05:11,157 --> 01:05:12,237
Duck and cover!

1082
01:05:12,450 --> 01:05:14,406
Duck and cover!

1083
01:05:14,619 --> 01:05:16,325
Duck and cover!

1084
01:05:16,538 --> 01:05:18,119
Duck and cover yourself.

1085
01:05:18,331 --> 01:05:19,537
Duck and cover!

1086
01:05:19,749 --> 01:05:20,955
Duck and cover!

1087
01:05:21,167 --> 01:05:23,374
Duck and cover!

1088
01:05:23,586 --> 01:05:26,623
J he did what we all
must learn to do j

1089
01:05:26,840 --> 01:05:29,752
j you and you and you and you j

1090
01:05:29,968 --> 01:05:32,880
j you and you and you and you j

1091
01:05:33,096 --> 01:05:35,883
j you and you and you and you j

1092
01:05:36,099 --> 01:05:39,466
j you and you and you and you j

1093
01:05:39,686 --> 01:05:43,053
j duck and cover jj

1094
01:05:43,273 --> 01:05:44,729
remember what to do, friends.

1095
01:05:44,941 --> 01:05:46,431
Now tell me right out loud,

1096
01:05:46,651 --> 01:05:47,711
what are you supposed to do

1097
01:05:47,735 --> 01:05:49,225
when you see the flash?

1098
01:05:49,446 --> 01:05:52,188
Duck and cover!

1099
01:05:58,913 --> 01:06:00,995
- Question.
- Yes?

1100
01:06:01,207 --> 01:06:02,767
How far do you have to be
from the blast

1101
01:06:02,917 --> 01:06:03,952
to live through it?

1102
01:06:04,169 --> 01:06:08,162
Well, let's take
a 20 megaton surface burst.

1103
01:06:12,510 --> 01:06:14,110
You would have
a good chance of surviving

1104
01:06:14,137 --> 01:06:15,422
if you're more than 12 miles

1105
01:06:15,638 --> 01:06:17,128
from the point of detonation.

1106
01:06:19,601 --> 01:06:23,594
A bomb equivalent
to 20 million tons of tnt

1107
01:06:23,813 --> 01:06:27,726
would cause an intense fire,
called a firestorm,

1108
01:06:27,942 --> 01:06:31,184
in an area about
2,000 square miles

1109
01:06:31,404 --> 01:06:33,565
around the center of the blast,

1110
01:06:33,781 --> 01:06:36,488
and in such an area
it would be futile,

1111
01:06:36,701 --> 01:06:38,316
desperately futile,

1112
01:06:38,536 --> 01:06:41,323
to construct what are
called fallout shelters.

1113
01:06:43,541 --> 01:06:44,541
This man,

1114
01:06:44,751 --> 01:06:46,491
like thousands of others
around the country,

1115
01:06:46,711 --> 01:06:48,497
is suffering
from a dread disease

1116
01:06:48,713 --> 01:06:50,499
called "nuclearosis."

1117
01:06:50,715 --> 01:06:53,422
The symptoms: Nuclear blindness.

1118
01:06:53,635 --> 01:06:56,217
All he can see
is a mushroom cloud.

1119
01:06:56,429 --> 01:06:58,465
He is blinded
from the fear of it,

1120
01:06:58,681 --> 01:07:00,217
deaf from the sound of it,

1121
01:07:00,433 --> 01:07:02,890
there is a short
circuit in his brain.

1122
01:07:03,102 --> 01:07:04,433
He can only think
of the awfulness

1123
01:07:04,646 --> 01:07:06,477
of the nuclear bomb.

1124
01:07:06,689 --> 01:07:07,348
We ought to learn something

1125
01:07:07,565 --> 01:07:08,565
from the second world war

1126
01:07:08,691 --> 01:07:10,101
in this respect.

1127
01:07:10,318 --> 01:07:11,318
And the bombing there,

1128
01:07:11,528 --> 01:07:13,268
even by second world war bombs,

1129
01:07:13,488 --> 01:07:14,488
in Hamburg, in Tokyo,

1130
01:07:14,656 --> 01:07:15,862
and in other cities,

1131
01:07:16,074 --> 01:07:17,405
showed that such shelters

1132
01:07:17,617 --> 01:07:20,233
became centers for incinerating

1133
01:07:20,453 --> 01:07:22,660
or asphyxiating the people
who are in them.

1134
01:07:22,872 --> 01:07:24,954
A fallout shelter
in your basement

1135
01:07:25,166 --> 01:07:26,531
will give adequate shielding

1136
01:07:26,751 --> 01:07:28,742
from radioactive fallout.

1137
01:07:30,255 --> 01:07:32,496
Ah, he's finally
getting the message.

1138
01:07:34,259 --> 01:07:35,259
Are you?

1139
01:07:37,470 --> 01:07:39,381
A new housing development
near Denver, Colorado,

1140
01:07:39,597 --> 01:07:41,087
shows the nation's
first model homes

1141
01:07:41,307 --> 01:07:43,138
with built-in fallout shelters.

1142
01:07:43,351 --> 01:07:46,058
The room is designed
with an atomic war in mind,

1143
01:07:46,271 --> 01:07:49,638
but behind each eight-inch
thick reinforced concrete wall

1144
01:07:49,857 --> 01:07:50,562
it may prove to be

1145
01:07:50,775 --> 01:07:52,015
just what the harried housewife

1146
01:07:52,193 --> 01:07:53,273
is looking for

1147
01:07:53,486 --> 01:07:55,046
when life with the kids
gets too hectic.

1148
01:07:57,991 --> 01:07:59,751
You don't think that
shelters are a deterrent

1149
01:07:59,784 --> 01:08:01,024
to a nuclear war either?

1150
01:08:01,244 --> 01:08:02,359
On the contrary,

1151
01:08:02,579 --> 01:08:04,444
I believe that psychologically

1152
01:08:04,664 --> 01:08:07,326
they will push both us
and the Russians

1153
01:08:07,542 --> 01:08:10,158
into thinking more
of having a war.

1154
01:08:21,556 --> 01:08:22,261
There are some instances

1155
01:08:22,473 --> 01:08:24,930
where you may be ahead of us,

1156
01:08:25,143 --> 01:08:27,134
for example, in the development

1157
01:08:27,353 --> 01:08:29,309
of your... of the thrust
of your rockets

1158
01:08:29,522 --> 01:08:31,513
for the investigation
of outer space.

1159
01:08:31,733 --> 01:08:32,853
There may be some instances,

1160
01:08:32,942 --> 01:08:34,142
for example, color television,

1161
01:08:34,235 --> 01:08:35,816
where we're ahead of you.

1162
01:08:36,029 --> 01:08:38,361
But in order for both of us to...

1163
01:08:38,573 --> 01:08:39,938
For both of us to benefit...

1164
01:08:40,158 --> 01:08:42,240
For both of us to benefit...

1165
01:08:42,452 --> 01:08:44,033
You see, you never
concede anything.

1166
01:08:49,834 --> 01:08:53,918
We wish you
supreme success in that...

1167
01:08:54,130 --> 01:08:57,167
That you show the actual
possibilities of America,

1168
01:08:57,383 --> 01:08:59,248
and we will be able to say,

1169
01:08:59,469 --> 01:09:01,676
"here are the possibilities
of America.”

1170
01:09:03,306 --> 01:09:04,045
How long does it exist?

1171
01:09:04,265 --> 01:09:05,050
How many years?

1172
01:09:05,266 --> 01:09:06,972
3007? 300?

1173
01:09:07,185 --> 01:09:09,267
150 years of independence?

1174
01:09:09,479 --> 01:09:11,891
Then we will say
that America exists 150 years,

1175
01:09:12,106 --> 01:09:13,141
here is its level.

1176
01:09:13,358 --> 01:09:15,644
We are 42 years, not quite.

1177
01:09:15,860 --> 01:09:17,129
Another seven years and we'll be

1178
01:09:17,153 --> 01:09:18,984
on the same level as America.

1179
01:09:19,197 --> 01:09:20,687
Then in the future
we will go ahead

1180
01:09:20,907 --> 01:09:22,587
and we might overtake you
at the crossroad.

1181
01:09:28,498 --> 01:09:30,284
This increase in communication

1182
01:09:30,500 --> 01:09:32,206
will teach us some things

1183
01:09:32,418 --> 01:09:34,283
and it will teach you
some things too,

1184
01:09:34,504 --> 01:09:36,304
because, after all,
you don't know everything.

1185
01:09:40,843 --> 01:09:42,674
If I don't know everything,

1186
01:09:42,887 --> 01:09:44,218
then I would say that you know

1187
01:09:44,430 --> 01:09:47,297
absolutely nothing
about communism,

1188
01:09:47,517 --> 01:09:49,599
nothing except fear of it.

1189
01:09:58,319 --> 01:10:00,401
Let's say you've got
your family in your shelter,

1190
01:10:00,613 --> 01:10:01,944
the attack is on.

1191
01:10:02,156 --> 01:10:03,156
A question might come up

1192
01:10:03,366 --> 01:10:05,231
of admitting anyone
over and above

1193
01:10:05,451 --> 01:10:07,316
the number for whom
the shelter is designed.

1194
01:10:07,537 --> 01:10:08,652
I'd say we should rely

1195
01:10:08,871 --> 01:10:10,327
on the best prudential judgment

1196
01:10:10,540 --> 01:10:11,575
that the father,

1197
01:10:11,791 --> 01:10:13,060
or the one responsible
for the shelter,

1198
01:10:13,084 --> 01:10:14,324
can make in the circumstances,

1199
01:10:14,544 --> 01:10:15,875
but I say let him think twice

1200
01:10:16,087 --> 01:10:18,544
before he admits
the needy stranger

1201
01:10:18,756 --> 01:10:20,621
if admitting the needy stranger

1202
01:10:20,842 --> 01:10:22,833
is going to cut down
the chances of survival

1203
01:10:23,052 --> 01:10:24,372
of the group
that's already there.

1204
01:10:24,554 --> 01:10:25,964
And then that final point:

1205
01:10:26,180 --> 01:10:28,091
Can a man have
protective devices

1206
01:10:28,307 --> 01:10:30,468
in order to protect his family

1207
01:10:30,685 --> 01:10:31,970
once they are in the shelter

1208
01:10:32,186 --> 01:10:32,845
from, let's say,

1209
01:10:33,062 --> 01:10:34,177
strangers that try to use

1210
01:10:34,397 --> 01:10:36,012
a crowbar to get in?

1211
01:10:36,232 --> 01:10:38,518
I'd say, from what
I have been talking about,

1212
01:10:38,735 --> 01:10:40,350
the matter of self-defense,

1213
01:10:40,570 --> 01:10:42,902
it would be wise for a man

1214
01:10:43,114 --> 01:10:45,446
to at least weigh
the possibility

1215
01:10:45,658 --> 01:10:47,740
of putting some protective
devices in his shelter

1216
01:10:47,952 --> 01:10:49,179
together with the other elements

1217
01:10:49,203 --> 01:10:50,283
of his survival kit.

1218
01:10:58,629 --> 01:11:00,566
All right, you've been down
there eight to ten days.

1219
01:11:00,590 --> 01:11:02,000
You come out and you find

1220
01:11:02,216 --> 01:11:03,422
that half or three quarters

1221
01:11:03,634 --> 01:11:05,420
of Los Angeles
has been destroyed.

1222
01:11:05,636 --> 01:11:07,752
Well, how are you going
to continue to live?

1223
01:11:07,972 --> 01:11:09,612
Well, the first thing
we have to recognize

1224
01:11:09,807 --> 01:11:12,139
is that if half of Los Angeles
is destroyed,

1225
01:11:12,351 --> 01:11:15,309
maybe eighty, ninety percent
of the people will be dead

1226
01:11:15,521 --> 01:11:17,102
and there will be
fewer mouths to feed,

1227
01:11:17,315 --> 01:11:19,431
and those of us who will survive

1228
01:11:19,650 --> 01:11:22,062
will have more water
and food to divide out.

1229
01:11:29,702 --> 01:11:32,239
J last night I was dreaming,

1230
01:11:32,455 --> 01:11:34,821
dreamed about the h-bomb j

1231
01:11:35,041 --> 01:11:37,623
j well, the bomb went off
and I was caught j

1232
01:11:37,835 --> 01:11:40,451
j I was the only man
on the ground j

1233
01:11:40,671 --> 01:11:44,209
j there was-a 13 women
and only one man in town j

1234
01:11:46,928 --> 01:11:49,965
j 13 women
and only one man in town j

1235
01:11:52,141 --> 01:11:55,178
j and as funny as it may be j

1236
01:11:55,394 --> 01:11:57,931
j the one and only man
in town was me j

1237
01:11:58,147 --> 01:12:01,480
j well, 13 women
and me the only man around j

1238
01:12:14,872 --> 01:12:17,409
J I had two girls
every morning j

1239
01:12:17,625 --> 01:12:19,741
- instant rice.
- ; Seeing that I was well fed j;

1240
01:12:19,961 --> 01:12:20,666
corn flakes.

1241
01:12:20,878 --> 01:12:21,583
J and believe you me,

1242
01:12:21,796 --> 01:12:22,376
one sweetened my tea j

1243
01:12:22,588 --> 01:12:23,327
dried foods.

1244
01:12:23,548 --> 01:12:24,287
J while another one

1245
01:12:24,507 --> 01:12:25,087
buttered my bread jj

1246
01:12:25,299 --> 01:12:26,379
cheese.

1247
01:12:27,635 --> 01:12:28,635
Macaroni.

1248
01:12:30,429 --> 01:12:31,429
Instant potatoes.

1249
01:12:33,432 --> 01:12:37,266
J boom j

1250
01:12:37,478 --> 01:12:40,641
j something exploded down inside

1251
01:12:40,857 --> 01:12:44,190
and rushed tears up in my eyes j

1252
01:12:44,402 --> 01:12:48,987
j oh, yes, I have
that funny feeling j

1253
01:12:49,198 --> 01:12:54,488
j I guess it's my atomic love

1254
01:12:54,704 --> 01:12:57,537
for you j

1255
01:13:00,960 --> 01:13:02,541
our artillery

1256
01:13:02,753 --> 01:13:05,586
and our tactical air force
in the pacific

1257
01:13:05,798 --> 01:13:06,913
are now equipped,

1258
01:13:07,133 --> 01:13:08,498
at this moment,

1259
01:13:08,718 --> 01:13:10,083
with atomic explosives

1260
01:13:10,303 --> 01:13:12,794
which can and will be used

1261
01:13:13,014 --> 01:13:14,014
on military targets

1262
01:13:14,181 --> 01:13:17,014
with precision
and effectiveness.

1263
01:13:17,226 --> 01:13:18,226
It's just...

1264
01:13:23,524 --> 01:13:24,960
On the steps
of the nation's capitol,

1265
01:13:24,984 --> 01:13:26,224
the bell announcing the opening

1266
01:13:26,360 --> 01:13:27,725
of mental health week

1267
01:13:27,945 --> 01:13:29,560
is rung by vice president Nixon

1268
01:13:29,780 --> 01:13:31,520
and the senator smathers
of Florida.

1269
01:13:31,741 --> 01:13:32,901
Characterizing mental health

1270
01:13:33,117 --> 01:13:34,732
as the nation's
number one problem,

1271
01:13:34,952 --> 01:13:35,952
the vice president says

1272
01:13:36,078 --> 01:13:37,198
that the ringing of the bell

1273
01:13:37,288 --> 01:13:38,368
throughout the nation

1274
01:13:38,581 --> 01:13:40,492
will be a reminder
of suffering Americans.

1275
01:13:42,835 --> 01:13:45,417
J atom bomb baby,
little atom bomb j

1276
01:13:45,630 --> 01:13:48,463
j I want her in my wigwam j

1277
01:13:48,674 --> 01:13:50,234
j she's just the way
I want her to be jj

1278
01:13:50,384 --> 01:13:51,384
j helter-skelter j

1279
01:13:51,594 --> 01:13:53,209
j they're gonna live, live, live

1280
01:13:53,429 --> 01:13:55,841
in my fallout shelter jj

1281
01:13:56,057 --> 01:13:59,641
j it was a 50 megaton hydro jump

1282
01:13:59,852 --> 01:14:01,638
j like a waiting atomic bomb j

1283
01:14:03,147 --> 01:14:04,147
by all means,

1284
01:14:04,190 --> 01:14:05,600
provide some tranquilizers

1285
01:14:05,816 --> 01:14:07,772
to ease the strain and monotony

1286
01:14:07,985 --> 01:14:09,646
of life in a shelter.

1287
01:14:09,862 --> 01:14:11,602
A bottle of 100
should be adequate

1288
01:14:11,822 --> 01:14:13,938
for a family of four.

1289
01:14:14,158 --> 01:14:16,319
Tranquilizers are not a narcotic

1290
01:14:16,535 --> 01:14:18,321
and are not habit forming.

1291
01:14:19,330 --> 01:14:20,866
And by the way,

1292
01:14:21,082 --> 01:14:22,492
do you know exactly

1293
01:14:22,708 --> 01:14:25,620
what your family would do
if an attack came,

1294
01:14:25,836 --> 01:14:29,420
say, at ten o'clock
tomorrow morning?

1295
01:14:29,632 --> 01:14:30,872
It's a good question, isn't it?

1296
01:14:44,730 --> 01:14:46,686
As they were meant to, dearest.

1297
01:14:46,899 --> 01:14:48,730
George.

1298
01:14:48,943 --> 01:14:51,685
I dunk this toast
to my bride-to-be.

1299
01:14:51,904 --> 01:14:52,904
Darling.

1300
01:14:54,365 --> 01:14:55,480
Darling, and I toast

1301
01:14:55,700 --> 01:14:56,906
the most wonderful man

1302
01:14:57,118 --> 01:14:58,233
in all the world.

1303
01:15:02,832 --> 01:15:05,539
Why, Lucy, your eyes
are filled with tears.

1304
01:15:05,751 --> 01:15:07,992
My heart is filled
with gladness.

1305
01:15:08,212 --> 01:15:10,954
Oh, look, the orchestra's
getting ready.

1306
01:15:11,173 --> 01:15:12,879
Dance with me, George!

1307
01:15:19,724 --> 01:15:22,340
George, I wonder
if we thought this through.

1308
01:15:22,560 --> 01:15:24,016
I'm afraid for you, George.

1309
01:15:24,228 --> 01:15:26,935
Oh, nonsense, my silly.

1310
01:15:27,148 --> 01:15:28,479
Yes, George, afraid.

1311
01:15:28,691 --> 01:15:30,397
My fiancé, Luther Marshall...

1312
01:15:30,609 --> 01:15:31,849
We interrupt our normal program

1313
01:15:31,944 --> 01:15:33,024
in the interest of security

1314
01:15:33,154 --> 01:15:34,394
and civil defense measures

1315
01:15:34,613 --> 01:15:36,854
as requested by
the United States government.

1316
01:15:37,074 --> 01:15:38,905
Attention, attention!

1317
01:15:39,118 --> 01:15:41,450
This is an official
civil defense warning.

1318
01:15:41,662 --> 01:15:43,448
This is not a test.

1319
01:15:43,664 --> 01:15:46,371
The United States
is under nuclear attack.

1320
01:15:46,584 --> 01:15:47,699
Take cover immediately

1321
01:15:47,918 --> 01:15:49,874
in your area fallout shelter.

1322
01:15:50,087 --> 01:15:51,668
Repeat: The United States

1323
01:15:51,881 --> 01:15:53,087
is under nuclear attack.

1324
01:15:59,680 --> 01:16:02,262
This is an official
civil defense broadcast.

1325
01:16:02,475 --> 01:16:04,340
Enemy aircraft are over Canada

1326
01:16:04,560 --> 01:16:06,266
and headed this way.

1327
01:16:06,479 --> 01:16:08,765
Normal broadcasting
has been discontinued

1328
01:16:08,981 --> 01:16:11,438
until after this emergency
has passed.

1329
01:16:40,054 --> 01:16:41,590
Repeat, the United States

1330
01:16:41,806 --> 01:16:43,342
is under nuclear attack.

1331
01:16:43,557 --> 01:16:44,888
Take cover immediately

1332
01:16:45,101 --> 01:16:46,887
in your area fallout shelter.

1333
01:16:49,897 --> 01:16:52,889
We repeat, the nation
is under nuclear attack.

1334
01:16:53,109 --> 01:16:54,770
This is an extreme emergency.

1335
01:16:54,985 --> 01:16:56,976
You are urged to remain calm.

1336
01:16:57,196 --> 01:16:58,936
Proceed to
your designated shelter

1337
01:16:59,156 --> 01:17:00,156
without delay.

1338
01:17:01,408 --> 01:17:03,569
This is an official
civil defense warning.

1339
01:17:03,786 --> 01:17:05,572
This is not a test.

1340
01:17:05,788 --> 01:17:08,450
The United States
is under nuclear attack.

1341
01:17:08,666 --> 01:17:09,906
Take cover immediately

1342
01:17:10,126 --> 01:17:11,912
in your area fallout shelter.

1343
01:17:12,128 --> 01:17:13,709
Repeat, the United States

1344
01:17:13,921 --> 01:17:15,457
is under nuclear attack.

1345
01:17:15,673 --> 01:17:17,004
Take cover immediately

1346
01:17:17,216 --> 01:17:18,922
in your area fallout shelter.

1347
01:17:26,225 --> 01:17:27,953
Now, children, ll... l want you
to sit down here

1348
01:17:27,977 --> 01:17:30,514
against the wall.

1349
01:17:30,729 --> 01:17:32,014
That's it.

1350
01:17:32,231 --> 01:17:34,847
Now crouch tight up against it.

1351
01:17:35,067 --> 01:17:37,228
Now listen, kids,

1352
01:17:37,444 --> 01:17:39,526
if they're dropping
an atomic bomb,

1353
01:17:39,738 --> 01:17:41,899
it may go off any second now.

1354
01:17:42,116 --> 01:17:44,323
Whatever happens,
I'll give the signal

1355
01:17:44,535 --> 01:17:46,150
when it's all right
for us to get up.

1356
01:17:46,370 --> 01:17:47,655
If there's an explosion,

1357
01:17:47,872 --> 01:17:50,204
we'll wait about a minute
after it's all over,

1358
01:17:50,416 --> 01:17:52,185
then we'll go upstairs
and take a look around,

1359
01:17:52,209 --> 01:17:53,689
see if all's right
for us to clean up.

1360
01:21:14,995 --> 01:21:17,327
Children, you better
clear up the broken glass

1361
01:21:17,539 --> 01:21:18,699
and all this debris.

1362
01:21:20,667 --> 01:21:23,579
All in all, I'd say we've been
very lucky around here.

1363
01:21:25,089 --> 01:21:26,750
Nothing to do now
but wait for orders

1364
01:21:26,965 --> 01:21:28,626
from the authorities and relax.

1365
01:21:36,725 --> 01:21:39,842
J the sun goes down

1366
01:21:40,062 --> 01:21:43,725
and leaves me sad and blue j

1367
01:21:46,402 --> 01:21:50,190
j the iron curtain falls

1368
01:21:50,406 --> 01:21:54,445

1369
01:21:57,287 --> 01:22:00,245
j oh, you won't speak

1370
01:22:00,457 --> 01:22:04,666
and I won't speak, that's true j

1371
01:22:06,755 --> 01:22:09,918
j two stubborn people

1372
01:22:10,134 --> 01:22:14,343

01:22:48,046 --> 01:22:52,631
