Transcript

That's the next beating bullet. More powerful than a locomotive. Able to leave small buildings at a single bound. Up on the sky, it's a bird. It's a plane. It's Superman. Tell us, P.E.P.T.S. The front-shot serial present.

The adventures of Superman. Today, while Superman zooms off to protect veterans Sam Robbins against the fury of racial hatred, the XGI stand found in defenseless as a gang of fanatical hoodlums threatens to pummel him to death.

Before we continue with today's episode and the adventures of Superman, we'd like you to meet Mr. Charles Bothy, chairman of the American Veterans Committee, a new organization of World War II veterans, which yesterday opened its ring-the-bell recruiting campaign.

Mr. Bullies, many of us who belong to the American Veterans Committee are the big brothers in your families. When we were in uniform, we looked forward to the day when we would have finished our fighting job.

We thought the war would be over when the last shot was fired, but we were wrong. There's another kind of war going on, a war in which you can help us this time. It's the war against the fellow next door or down the block, and it generally shapes up so that there's a gang against one boy or girl.

The reason for that gangning up or reason no American boy or girl should have, a difference in color or religion. That's why the American Veterans Committee feels Superman has rung the bell in fighting on the air against this kind of un-American war.

That's why as chairman of my organization, your older brothers who went to fight for you I'd like to present the official commendation of the American Veterans Committee to Superman. Thank you Mr. Baldi. I'd like to accept the commendation on behalf of the Kellogg Company who sponsors this program Superman DC publications and the millions of American boys and girls in our audience
