| Harry Truman, seated at a desk, talks about Communists in government. The only Communists found, a fraction of one percent of government workers, were found by the organization he set up for that purpose, not the McCarthy "outfit." There is no danger of Communism upsetting this government from within. Our enemies are Communists in the great countries that have turned Communist, like Russia. The best thing we can do is educate our children in what they have, and what they have to do to keep it. | ||
