Family Theater: Foreign Exchange

Family Theatre presents Bing Crosby. I'm Holly Wood, the mutual network in cooperation with Family Theatre presents For an Exchange. And here is your host Bing Crosby. Thank you Tony Lefrano.

Family Theatre's only purpose is to bring to everyone's attention a practice that must become an important part of our lives. If we are to win peace for ourselves, peace for our families and peace for the world, theater urges you to pray. Pray together as a family.

And now to our transcribed drama, For an Exchange, with Lamont Johnson as Bill Thayer and Gene Bates as Sonia. Mr. Thayer?

Yes. The Assistant Minister will see you now this way please. Thanks. The correspondent Mr. Thayer to see you sir. Thank you, Gauroshi. That will be all. Come in Mr. Thayer. Sit down. Thanks. By the way, aren't we acquainted, Mr. Fittlof?

I don't believe so. Weren't you this country's press chief with the Bulgarian trials two years ago? You have a good memory for faces, Mr. Thad. So I've been told? Also, you like to ask questions.

That's my job to be curious. Yeah. Then you are probably curious as to why I have sent for you. I'll admit it. I have here your application for a visa to leave the country. That's right.

I'm being transferred to the papers London office, you can check on that pretty easily if you want to. I already have. London confirmed it. Well, I noticed you have included your wife on this application. Is there anything irregular about that? You realize, of course, that as a national of this country, your wife

is subject to the same travel restrictions as her fellow citizens. Mr. Petloff, we've tried to cooperate with your department. Sonya and I waited almost a year just for official permission to get married. And during that year, you were reminded repeatedly that the state frowns on such marriages, but you did finally authorize it.
