 Good evening. This is Frank Knight during the past four years the launching with nor watch company has presented six hundred programs of the launching Chronoscope now this week due to a change in the programming structure of the CBS television network the present series of Chronoscope programs come to an end For our last three programs tonight Wednesday and Friday We bring back on film some of the distinguished guests of the launching Chronoscope this in the nature of a report of four years of public service Programming chapter one of this Chronoscope report to viewers presents the late senator Robert A. Taft The then governor Earl Warren senators McCarthy and Watkins industrialist Henry for the second a F of L president George Meany and Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt now here's our editor-in-chief the noted news analyst Larry Loser Good evening ladies and gentlemen today history is practically written in minutes So we've turned back our long gene clock to reveal for you some of the climactic moments in the lives of past Chronoscope guests Back in June 1951 when Chronoscope first started Eisenhower was in uniform and the world wonder whether he would accept a very evident draft to run for the presidency of the United States But there were others at home who had already declared their ambitions and among the most memorable and outstanding of them was the man from Ohio the late senator Robert A. Taft Mr. Republican they called him and he made a gallant run for the presidential nomination and he was an even more gallant loser Since his untimely death no one has taken his place Some of our viewers may recall when before the convention he was asked on Chronoscope senator Taft Why do you think you can win? Publican can win. I think they certainly can this year. I Was I ran in Ohio last year in 1950 which on the same issues I had the opposition of mr. Truman. I think almost every member of mr. Truman's cabinet opposition CIO the AFL that is the leaders of them not the man I found before I got through and I carried the Ohio's typical state It's a very fair cross-section of industry of agriculture of every other feature of American life And I carried the state by 31,000 yes, which is the largest amount that a senator had ever carried it by I got I think we figured about 40% of the labor union vote I received a much larger percentage of course of other votes and I see no reason whatever Why the same methods pursued throughout the nation wouldn't be have the same effect Another presidential aspirant in 1951 is today the chief justice of the United States Supreme Court No need recently he took the occasion to declare he would not be a candidate in 1956 but when Chronoscope first began Governor Earl Warren thought his destiny might lead to the White House and California backed him to the Hilt you here remember when he was asked Governor Warren both eastern and Midwestern Republicans wonder just how it is you get so many Republican and Democratic votes. Are you a staunch Republican? I think that I am I think our people perhaps are are a little less Party-minded out in the west and they then they are in the east and the and the middle west but Republicans in our part of the country Think the same and act very much the same as they do in other parts of it We have Republicans out there who would like to turn the clock back if they could and But I don't happen to be one of those I believe that this country was built on faith and not on fear and I believe that if we have faith in our Institutions We can believe that there isn't any problem before the American people that cannot be solved by By our system the is the greatest system that's ever been devised by man but I believe that some of these people who who use the word socialism very lightly these days and very Often are unable to distinguish between socialism and and social progress You spoke of the the speech that I made last night at Boston in Preparing that speech I found the a little expression of Abraham Lincoln who that reminded me of such people that he Spoke of a type of thinking that could not distinguish between a horse chestnut and a chestnut horse The most controversial figure in the country was the freshman senator from Wisconsin Joseph R. McCarthy The word McCarthyism had not yet been coined when he was interviewed on Chronoscope in early 1952 But you may recall when McCarthy was asked have you made any plans if the Republicans win the Senate in the November elections? I may say this that if the Republicans should take over the Senate I happen to be the ranking member on the Investigating committee that means that McCarthy would become chairman of the Senate investigating committee And if if he does I'll make you one promise that Leavenworth won't hold them You're going to use the same tactics that you have used right along Oh, no, and you said the same tactics you see if you if you have a committee the power to subpoena Investigators you don't use the same tactics you use when you have no no committee no power to subpoena We have got to dig and root out the communists and the crooks and those for bad for America Where you have a committee? So you have the power of subpoena you can get the records and if we have a Republican president We'll be able to get those records. I'm sure It will be a less spectacular fight, but much more effective. You see it's difficult when you're all alone With the entire power of this federal bureaucracy against you Difficult to dig them out even at that you see we have exposed got another government 11 Those I originally name some of them have been convicted others before the grand jury, but all out of the government under the loyalty program Nobody can foresee the future the controversy over senator McCarthy assumed international proportions The army McCarthy hearing rocked the nation finally the Senate appointed a select committee headed by the staunchly conservative But little publicized senator from Utah author P. Watkins and it delivered its verdict with the full support of the Senate That week I asked senator Watkins on Chronoscope if he could predict what might happen to a senator who had been censured by his colleagues Anything much to go by as far as history is concerned We only had desire call three times one of the senators didn't run again another one resigned and And one was reelected, but he wasn't very active after that time. It depends upon the senator Some senators would feel very sensitive about it and feel that they've been rebuked and probably wouldn't want to stay in the Senate Other men who feel that probably they were just and right They were doing the right thing. They may want to find it out and go on to greater activity in the case of senator McCarthy He's a young man a lot of vigor and a lot of ability. I think if he Would take the lesson to heart now and go to work In a field that would not provoke so much controversy and follow the The policies are the philosophy laid down in the censure hearings. I think he could accomplish a great deal We turned the Chronoscope cameras towards the great automobile industry and one of its outstanding leaders Henry Ford the second has rarely appeared on television But last year the young automobile industrialist agreed to appear on Chronoscope and we asked mr. Ford What many persons felt at that time had this country reached the saturation point in the number of automobiles on the road On Sunday night in this area really crowded, but I honestly think that with An expanded sales organization and with the products which our industry has to sell That there's a great opportunity for us to do an even greater job than we've been able to do up to this point I think we haven't really gotten into the Really possibilities that are available for our industry There are many families which don't own cars that can afford to own cars And there are many families that can afford to have two cars. They only have one car Well, mr. Ford, what about the if I may say so the automobile dealers aren't they screaming now about Having too many cars in their hands many dealers many dealers or I think many dealers are really worried that the Manufacturers are turning out too many cars. I think that since the war there's the dealers really haven't had Competitive situation to face and I know that they all want to face that situation and now we're in it and So they've got to go out and sell and I'm sure that the manufacturers as such want to treat them in the best way They possibly can because no manufacturer is any better than his dealer organization The cost of living was going up last year and labor showed signs of restlessness So he asked Henry Ford if he were concerned about the increasing differential between wages and the rising cost of living I Not sure that I can answer that question mr. Lesser and In the most economic sense we in our business have a cost of living index, which is measured on the cost of living and As such we pay wages in accordance with the rise of the lowering of the cost of living And we will do that until our contract runs out in 1955 And that's our contracts that we're forced into it and we're very willing and happy to live by From big business we went to big unions when AFL president George Meany appeared on conoscope last year The AFL and the CIO were separate Now they've agreed to merge subject to the ratification of their national conventions and George Meany is the favor to head this super union in 1954 we asked mr. Meany just what organized labor looked forward to in the years to come We want a fair share of the things that we produce we want we want a better America We want better houses better homes for the people of America better educational opportunities for the American people and We want these things in whatever type of economy That we're going to have in the years to come and we want to we want to a fair share as I said of the things We produce and we want it in the pay envelope and we want the pay envelope to be able to Purchase those things which we consider our fair share of the national blues mean you're going to fight for a guaranteed wage No, that means we're going to we're going to fight for as much wages that As we feel we're entitled to in the various industries and for whatever job security we can possibly get No chronoscope series was ever complete without the presence of the former first lady And the name of Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt is indelibly associated with the United Nations and Since every big a little world crisis is tossed over to the UN to settle We're often disappointed when the 60 sovereign nations can't agree on a positive answer Is this an integral fault of the United Nations we asked Mrs. Roosevelt started out Expecting that the United Nations would solve every difficulty Great just by being the United Nations We didn't realize that the United Nations was only all the nations gathered in one place but all the troubles remained just as they were before and therefore we had to work to make the United Nations work and We didn't want to work and we didn't expect to have to do this work and now we know we have to which is healthy, I think This has been chapter one of the long jeans chronoscopes reports of viewers You've met seven among the hundreds of important men and women members of Congress cabinet officers Governors of state who's spoken on national affairs during the past four years on the long jeans chronoscope Chapter two of the report to viewers of chronoscope will be presented on Wednesday We'll bring back some of the important international figures who've discussed the foreign relations of the United States from Korea onward We hope you'll be with us Thank You Larry the sir The long Jean Wittner watch company tonight amidst its regular commercial announcement We remind you only that our two prize-winning watches long Jean and Wittner are sold and serviced in all the countries of the free world And in the United States by more than 4,000 leading jewelers who proudly display the emblem agency for long Jean Wittner watches The termination on Friday evening of this long series of long Jean chronoscope programs is made necessary Because of the desire of the CBS television network to rearrange its television programming a step Which we sincerely regret Nevertheless, we would like to express our appreciation for the fine cooperation given by the technical and the editorial staffs of CBS Which has contributed so materially to the success of our programs Now over the years we've received many thousands of communications from you our viewers Substantial evidence that the long Jean chronoscope has served the public interest your views are always welcome And if at this time you'd like to express your comments simply address long Jean 580 Fifth Avenue, New York 36 Wednesday at this time Mr. Lisser will present chapter two of long Jean chronoscopes Report to viewers an exciting look at the foreign relations of our country over the past four years This is frank knight speaking
