Yes, 519 00:29:42,680 --> 00:29:46,079 pepsi is America's biggest cola value. You get twice the 520 00:29:46,119 --> 00:29:50,599 tangy tape, twice the refreshment, twice the pepsi. So why 521 00:29:50,680 --> 00:29:55,160 take lets when pepsi is bet Whenever you reach for refreshment, 522 00:29:55,519 --> 00:29:57,720 remember pepsicola pit. 523 00:29:57,640 --> 00:29:59,279 Speaker 6: The bottle, twofold. 524 00:29:58,839 --> 00:30:02,839 Speaker 2: Glasses, patt lot more values, lots more Petsy, I take 525 00:30:02,960 --> 00:30:03,359 less when. 526 00:30:05,519 --> 00:30:09,200 Speaker 3: Tonight's counter Spy program, originated in New York, was directed 527 00:30:09,240 --> 00:30:13,319 by William M. Sweet, dramatized by Palmer Thompson, and feature 528 00:30:13,359 --> 00:30:17,160 Don McLachlan and Mandel Kramer, with music by Jesse Crawford. 529 00:30:17,759 --> 00:30:21,519 Counter Spy is a Phillips h LAYD production for Pepsicola. 530 00:30:22,240 --> 00:30:30,480 Enjoy some pepsi ice cold Tonight. 531 00:30:39,359 --> 00:30:40,400 Speaker 7: Welcome back. 532 00:30:40,599 --> 00:30:40,839 Speaker 6: Well. 533 00:30:41,160 --> 00:30:45,640 Speaker 1: I have to say that Alvin Barkley has never sounded 534 00:30:45,799 --> 00:30:50,880 so much like Mandel Kramer before. This does actually happen 535 00:30:51,000 --> 00:30:55,279 in old time radio on occasion where you would have 536 00:30:55,559 --> 00:30:59,480 a major public official lot Jed or Hoover wanting to 537 00:30:59,519 --> 00:31:04,559 speak to a program's content, but you have an actor 538 00:31:04,720 --> 00:31:09,599 go ahead and read a statement from them instead, And 539 00:31:09,599 --> 00:31:13,519 this can be to simplify the process and also to 540 00:31:13,559 --> 00:31:17,839 provide the best quality that can If the political leader 541 00:31:18,000 --> 00:31:21,279 is not able to be in a station at the 542 00:31:21,400 --> 00:31:25,799 time of the broadcast, which is usually, it's not going 543 00:31:25,839 --> 00:31:29,599 to work out that you have to go through a 544 00:31:29,640 --> 00:31:35,200 process to get a recording made and transmitted in time 545 00:31:35,319 --> 00:31:38,960 for the broadcast. And on those occasions where I've heard 546 00:31:39,079 --> 00:31:42,680 like a pre recorded message put in there is a 547 00:31:43,240 --> 00:31:48,720 visible dropping audio quality. Was it makes the politician sound good? 548 00:31:49,119 --> 00:31:53,119 I can imagine the unobservant listener at home say, yeah, 549 00:31:53,519 --> 00:31:56,720 I thought Berkley might be too old for the job. 550 00:31:56,880 --> 00:32:02,000 He's in his seventies, but he certainly said vigorous. Of course, 551 00:32:02,079 --> 00:32:04,960 on other programs, like there was an episode of Family 552 00:32:05,039 --> 00:32:10,720 Theater where they had someone appearing that way, they noted 553 00:32:10,880 --> 00:32:15,799 that the person was impersonated. Now, of course, this is 554 00:32:16,279 --> 00:32:22,000 yet another program with a very strong PSA focus and 555 00:32:22,160 --> 00:32:27,599 certainly raising a very important issue about the need of 556 00:32:27,720 --> 00:32:34,359 disabled veterans to find not just support, but the ability 557 00:32:34,680 --> 00:32:40,039 to work with dignity. This has been a message that 558 00:32:40,440 --> 00:32:45,200 you can hear across multiple programs in multiple different genres 559 00:32:45,799 --> 00:32:50,079 and counterspy was carrying that message. They of course became 560 00:32:50,200 --> 00:32:54,440 involved in a somewhat improbable way. While it was true 561 00:32:54,559 --> 00:32:58,799 that there were some shady charities running around in the 562 00:32:58,920 --> 00:33:07,400 nineteen forty, there was no organization that did preemptive investigations 563 00:33:07,400 --> 00:33:11,000 of charitable events. Certainly the crooks would have been aware 564 00:33:11,039 --> 00:33:14,519 of this if nothing else, and even if you were, 565 00:33:15,079 --> 00:33:20,440 As we have said a few times, imagine that counterspy 566 00:33:20,720 --> 00:33:28,160 is the FBI. Imagine JEdgar Hoover getting involved with routine 567 00:33:28,440 --> 00:33:33,039 background checks or ANYBI director getting involved in those sort 568 00:33:33,039 --> 00:33:36,759 of things. So this is yet another case of counterspy 569 00:33:37,200 --> 00:33:41,880 really stretching its jurisdiction in order to tell the story 570 00:33:41,920 --> 00:33:45,839 it wanted to tell, which was an important one.
