United States Army recruiting station and now your United States Army presents the proudly we hail production Americans on horseback a magnificent display single colonel thank you sir yes we're proud of this unit here in Berlin as a student of horsemanship myself I would say you have every right to be you know mr. ambassador you've just looked at the last linear the sun in the Bill Sheridan cavalry there is no cavalry in your army a modern weapon to make the horses obsolete is the motherloading rifle off that's the shame the horses an animal of such fire such emotions in my country the mounted guard of honor which surrounds the president is a sight which makes strong men to win well we don't require such emotionalism from our country here in Berlin it's another matter that's large political issues of stake a mounted unit like this one gives weight and color and dignity to the large number of functions and ceremonies require them I see I'm sorry to say part of the citizenry is impressed by that sort of thing as opposed to the very real aspect of political and economic freedom you are very right senior and I am most grateful to you in your country for giving me the opportunity of seeing these things well if you have any time when you drop into my office tomorrow we'll go out and take a look at this mounted unit you might enjoy that senior you have read my mind there is nothing I would enjoy more oh go right in this and after the curls expecting you to see you again well I'm glad you were able to come sir oh Carol would you come in here please yes sir my secretary miss Logan Carol this is Ambassador Garcia my pleasure I'm stuck here with some work but I think Carol would like to take you over these are from Texas there are a lot of people from Texas general and not all of the horse people then you share my enthusiasm for the equine species if you mean the horse I sure do then as a guide you will not only be an illuminating one but then I thought it is one well I've been riding since I was old enough to walk and I'd show him find the horses if that's what you need but then fine let us be off to the horses they come they make a glorious picture doctor oh I can't think of another side to it that may be a roundup about the same time the afternoon tomorrow you'll see that your mouth get curbed and fed off the need I am on a semi-official mission today Ambassador Garcia this is Sergeant Wallace of the horse platoon of the 759th military police battalion I'm mighty pleased to know you said the pleasure is mine the ambassadors are in a quick tour of the whole occupation area he saw the previous anyone through the horses well we got some mighty fine animals round here easy rusty you want to go over and say hello miss Carol hi Rusty oh you don't think I forget my baby doing yes it is my present and now you just take it easy there you know I had to go all the way into town to find lump sugar for you big baby that go ahead you can have it he does it is amazing I take my hat off to you I think that horses right off the panhandle away taking miss Carol here he's got itself away with these animals he's a beautiful horse I'm madly in love with him in my country thing or if a woman may lavish affection on such a user for the animals but there are limits on the feelings one may have for a horse those might as well I wouldn't be so sure about that there's many a horse that has a lot more to recommend him than many a man miss Carol you know I met a lot of nice horses in my time but I ain't never met one that is much good at a kiss and be excuse me I better be bed and rusted down for the night good afternoon miss girl you know I think he is like all the rest of the men down home a pig headed food I must say that you have the most extraordinary attitude for a young woman have you never considered my oh sure but I must say I do well without it here some people talk you think marriage and men were the only things in the world it is amazing a pretty young girl like yourself with such a distorted outlook I think we'd better be getting back to the office I got some locking up to do before I go home very well no nosebag on in a minute I got some German hops in it for you like that huh boy single sergeant howdy miss Ambassador I thought you'd go on back miss Carol by now I decided to let her return alone so I could come here and talk with you well you just go on ahead enjoy so I got the rest of the day off take it in my right here that's not the only reason I am worried about you and miss Carol me I think that you are in love with her aren't you presuming awful out in just one little conversation oh I could tell from your eyes you waited to look at her you are what they call it the western movies the strong silent type but your eyes in your text they become like butter when you look at me I didn't think it was good so you do admit it and now we must think of action the strong silent type cannot be buried with his boots on when there is such an attractive young lady around when I just can't ridiculous I know my friend you need an experience and you were a soldier why did you wait to work I am a diplomat knowing the more subtle way now what do you know miss Carol her routine for habits well not too much that she's fond of rusty and we know her fondness for the equine species can you be more specific well I know she goes riding on the weekends see there's some bridal pairs in the Grooney wall over in the British sector I've gone along with it a couple times but all the most other time she just stays in the quarters she never goes out to dances to parties to the movies no I don't think so but if she's worse than I thought we must act and act immediately oh miss Logan there's no reason to finish those things tonight why don't you go on home that's all right sir I have no faith to go miss Logan that's an order I'll stop and go home I just can't understand you miss Logan I think under ordinary circumstances a pretty thing like you would find living in Berlin the next thing to paradise the ambassador he got off all right yes he did he saw everything he wanted to see yes he did all right then you can go along miss Logan I didn't offend you did I know sir but I do wish people would stop my personal affairs are not an order of business on this post I don't date and I think I have a right to my own feelings I'm sorry miss Logan I guess you do have that right well why can't people leave me alone then there are many civilizations that have popped their heads up for a short period in our long history but the keynote to every successful one there's been a society that contained both men and women goodnight miss Logan goodnight sir I miss Carol hello sergeant I mind if I walk along a little bit weighty this is armor property and I don't see how I could stop anybody from using it miss Carol I hope you're not mad at me saying what it said about kissing being off you are apologize why can't people leave well enough alone the same way back in Texas now Carol you keep your hand I can put in if you ever want to get a man get a man who wants a man Carol I am sorry don't know what I do without you you're the only one around here makes even a shade of Sam you're not mad at me how could I be mad at you you're almost like Ken folks to me yes I guess this kind of strange to people from Texas meeting here in Germany it's kind of funny it's almost like safe almost miss Carol they haven't a dance over the wreck hall it's something that it would you like to do me the honor don't be silly I know you don't like dancing anymore than I do I got a much better idea they will open up some new trails in the Grunewald on the other side of the Olympic Stadium British section why don't we go ride non-saturday girl I guess that'll be fine yes don't you know well see I have to see a man first and change some plans and if he can and I guess that'd be all right now it's very complicated oh no it's not I see I just want to make sure it rust is all right so you could ride him hey excuse me I could well he's got to be exercised I don't see why not oh well I think you're wonderful see a Saturday yes see you on Saturday beautiful morning lefty here's just wonderful couldn't be any more perfect I agree with you miss Carol really a talker come on text I'll race you down the bend in the past come on I sometimes just sit back and think how lucky I am army sure take me a long way from Texas you know this is a royal reserve way before there was a Western section and each and yes I suppose they over 11,000 acres to this Grunewald almost as big as some of those ranches down home grandstand over there that part of the Olympic Senate that no I think that's the roulette bin that's the racetrack who horses too I think the season's over now but we could ride and take what's going on here well this month better do like this are you were empty your pockets into

whole thing a woman without love we never we never thought to manage actually see well I have no idea a mr. ambassador I think your country would frown on the rather furious activity that you've been indulging in here in what kind of I have no more company the word has just come to the president he has uh flown the coop and my party is now out of faith well you've both gotten yourselves into a mess sergeant I intend to see that there's disciplinary action in this case I realize that well then let's see if I have the fact straight the two of you rigged this robbery in the hope that techs here could win favor and ms. Logan's eyes and the phony robber turned out to be a real you have forgotten the most important theme singer the attitude of this young lady the strange attitude I'm now beginning to have my doubts as to just how strange it was after looking at the two of you and hearing about this this rather bizarre affair saying you'll you will do something it's rusty more than anything I don't mind the money well you don't do you well I'm certain that miss Logan does does anyone bother to tell her what happened no sir well I recommend that to be the first course of action and I'll see that a report goes out to the German police on this I don't think we'll have any trouble picking up this man the rather difficult hiding a thorough colored horse in Berlin oh yes and while you're at it gentlemen I suggest that you reimburse miss Logan for the week's loss of pay she suffered at your hand now good day and then what did she say well is right about then that you threw the ink well that well the eye doesn't look too badly but I think you will have uh how do you say I shine oh that's the least I'm a worry she wouldn't even take the money back no not a bit anything I think we made things was all she kept talking about is rusty and what did we do to him we didn't do anything the guy just walked off with you would excuse me for being such a bungling fool hey what was you told the Colonel about fine in this guy but the inspiration came to me as I was watching the harness races at marion d'or I thought that I could stage a horse opera like the American movies do and then you will rest you miss Carol she would fall into your arms for the big glitch yeah that's God how do you find this guy well I felt we would need somebody who could ride a horse so I asked one of these stable boys if he was a black well you sure picked a good one that I did single thing that I think well I don't do no good kind of a film there are you up to trying to find him of course but I think it will not be as easy as the Colonel says the racing season is over here in Berlin even the harness races at marion d'or yeah but they just aren't that many horses in Germany they had a heck of time starting our horse for two if he lay over horses are very succulent this when someone is hungry wait a minute I got you have what oh let's get up here corn and see if we can find a horse and buggy this is no time to go sightseeing listen if we can find one of these guys we'll see a lot more than the city of Berlin so come on see but the police the police thing goes not so fast I'm not as young as I once was look yeah we're in luck here comes one he's unoccupied hey you there driver hey hold hold mine here how good he's stopping but why do you gotta say nothing you see come on here good nothing's mine to help yeah now do you speak English yeah yeah mine to help very bad good can you tell me where you get your horses shoes he can't understand what's he having to do yeah we're doing great now look here your horse yeah yeah yeah mine all right your horse the horse it's shoes you see here his shoes here look at it the horse friend the horse needs new shoes everyone know why see you see bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang hey miss me now I understand of course write ah write off Spandau Sbrassup by Charleston Bookhouse oh that's good now can you take it somewhere of course of course it gets on the thing you were could you please leave me what is on your mind well it's very simple see Miss Carol and I I noticed that Rusty's rear shoe was loose, huh? If he gets ridden much longer, he's going to come up lame and need a new shoe. Ah, now I understand. If there aren't many horses in Berlin, there certainly won't be an overbundance of blacksmiths, huh? You are interested in horses, my hell? No, not horses, my friend, just a horse. He was able to help you? No, not much. I've seen Hannah hide a rustler. It's strange. If the horse is to be shot, as you say, then there is no other place he can go. You say this is a big, red-colored horse. Beautiful animal. It's stable. I keep my horse, and it seems to me now that such an animal was there just as I came out. No, that could be possible. How far away from there right now? About ten minutes drive. What are we waiting for? Let's go. Right in here, my hell. Yes. There he is. That's Rusty. He looks fine, sir, but he seems totally unharmed. Yeah, look at that. His shoe is just a little loose. Miss Carols don't suddenly be pleased when I bring him back. And maybe then we can accomplish our mission. Yeah, I think maybe I had just buttoned up a mission, sir. My hell, and perhaps it would be wise if I were to go and find the manager here and tell him about your island. And also ask him about the guy that brought him in here. You want me to go with you? No, it means nothing to him. He speaks no English. All right. Strange place, eh? Yeah. I thought you said there were not many horses in Berlin. Maybe his place is full of them. Yeah. Oh, there's something funny about this place. Can you put my thing on it? You are right. I see it soon. Well, as long as we get Rusty back, that's all I was worried about. Did you notice the building in the back of him? Yeah, it looked kind of like a factory, didn't it? Yeah. Hey, wait a minute. Just a second. Yeah, here comes the driver back. I'm terribly sorry. The manager is being very difficult. He said he has bought the horse from someone that he did not know. Well, he can't do that. There's an army brand here. You take a look at that. We could have the police here in ten minutes. Oh, no, no, no. Rusty is not necessary. I think the only thing he wants is his money back. Just a few American dollars for his services there. For the trouble he was involved in. Ah, I think fifty dollars. Fifty dollars. That's ridiculous. Look, sir, I can advance with the money. Then we can return. Rusty, the whole business will be fine. Oh, I'll be darned if I will. It's my horse. I'm not going to pay any money for my own horse. Where is this man? I would not make any trouble, my friend. Oh, wait a minute. I get it. Senior, what was it you said before you know about this fillet of horse? I said that the fillet of a horse is a very succulent dish when someone is hungry. That's it for sure. I'm a monkey's uncle. Hey, driver, you got blood on you, too. That's a slaughterhouse in the back of this barn. I miss my gift. Oh, this is ridiculous. Oh, that's cool. I'm going to have a look. All right, stand where you are. Put your hands above your head. Well, well, well. I meant from the past. I do not need your American jokes. Keep your hands up. You have a fool for bringing them here. Well, I only thought the money would be worth more than the stupid enemies. And so you went into our entire operation here from measly $50? I'm sorry, hon. Sorry. This is no time to be sorry. There are some ropes at the barn. Get them quickly. Well, you have really bungled into something, haven't you? I still don't get this. Is it enough to meet in the Western sector? Why the horse meat? I would not be too sure that it is for the Western sector. There is a very definite shortage of meat behind the iron curtain. Oh, I get it. Not only a shortage of meat, but a shortage of animals for meat. So the comrades get the prime cuts and the people get the horse meat. How? How do you know the ropes? I don't think you're going to need any ropes. You hear me, you hear me? Where is he going to take us? I have to go. Oh, God, I'm sorry. You have given him the knock-up function. Yeah, where did the other one go? I think he went to the floor. Now, wait a minute. Keep that gun pointed at the door. We did this. All right, hon. Somebody, stick them up. Holy mackerel, it's you. I might have known it. Sir, your curtain. You got the other one, sir? Yes, we have the whole gang in tow. Well, you know about the horse meat. We've known about it for some time. We just needed a definitive piece of evidence. And Rusty here was able to supply that. I'll be done. Incidentally, Sergeant, good work. But don't think that I've forgotten about the mess you've gotten yourself into. When you get back to the post, you can consider yourself confined to quarters. And as for you... See? I don't suggest that you report to our State Department representative here. Check for your diplomatic passport before I report you for abuse of privilege. What do you mean? What of me slogan? But I'll say that's for her. I'm sending to you here on my first day back in Berlin. Senior! This is a coincidence. How could you ask that? You know, out of school, you'd been dead long since. Oh, I would never have thought to come back to Berlin. But I am here this time on a business of business. I am on a threat mission. You don't try to stay out of trouble this time around. Senior, since the last time, I have even given up horseback riding. What's more, this time I have brought my wife with me. She is a very sensible woman. Oh, by the way, senior, whatever happened to that charming country woman of yours with such a strange attitude towards men? Oh, Eski, you see, I'll be as you come now. Oh, my goodness, this is Ambassador. Isn't this a strange rose? I'm no longer Mr. Ambassador, but I agree, it is a strange one. Tex and I want to thank you for what you did. Me? Why you? I caused nothing but trouble. I wouldn't say that. You were directly responsible for this. Please. You're married? Yes, sir. I got all roving past. Me, because, senior, may I kiss you, Brian? Oh, of course. But how, how did it happen? You were such a confirmed, I'll say it out of the words of Spencer. Oh, yes, of course. Yeah, I just told right to how I felt. I just told Carol here. They talking to Horses? Why not? The Army has everything else. You know, in the two years that I've been announcing radio and TV shows for the Army Recruiting Service, I've had an awful lot of guys come up to me after a broadcast and say something like, what a deal you have for yourself in the Army. How did you get a job like that? And I can only tell them that in civilian life, I was a radio and TV announcer. When I am listed in the Army, they put me to work immediately in the same kind of a job, which sort of helps me to put over the point that when you volunteer for service in the United States Army, you can rest assured that your best and natural skills will be considered in giving you an assignment to your liking. Take a tip from me and visit your nearest United States Army Recruiting Station to get all the facts. Believe me, you lost like dead. This has been another program on proudly we hail, presented transcribed in cooperation with this station. proudly we hail is produced by the Recruiting Publicity Center in New York for the United States Army, and this is Mark Hamilton speaking, inviting you to tune in this same station next week for another interesting story on proudly we hail.
