renewed his attack. If the film presented an accurate portrait. he said. it would not be so objectionable. But. he continued. the "national image presented is not only an unfavorable one: it is also a very unfair and untrue image." Since many of the migrants depicted are Negroes. he continued. the film fits "easily. into the false picture of the position of Negroes in American society which our Nations enemies are bending every effort to create throughout the world." He said it gave the impression that agricultural labor was exploited in this country. According to the Senator. Mr. Murrow called him twice this week and said that he. deplored and resented the sale of the film. that he was "deeply distressed" by it. and that he considered the CBS action as "wholly irresponsible." He emphasized to the Senator that the film had been made for domestic presentation.
