@Channel1Images False? I believe the video is quite authentic. When you freeze the video at 6:19 and zoom in, the image you are referring to looks more like a building next to a citrus grove than a rocket. The bottom of the image is definitely more rectangular than circular like a rocket would be.
At any rate, the message is right on target, and the warning given was obviously unheeded.
A nice example of anti-commun(-ism) propaganda which were rife after WW2. The Taft-Hartley Act -- passed in 1947 -- required all union members to sign a form stating they were not a communist. The government produced numerous films & even cartoons (such as this one) in which workers & industrialists are depicted in mutually admiring harmony. What's missing is any mention of the brutal class repression that went on in the 1910, 20s & 30s.

Cute video but quite false, I don't think in 1948 a map of Florida would be indicated with a rocket.
