National Archives and Records Administration - ARC Identifier 38681 / Local Identifier 208.51 - It's Murder - Office for Emergency Management. Office of War Information. Overseas Operations Branch. New York Office. News and Features Bureau. (12/17/1942 - 09/15/1945). Shows, in a dramatization, how seemingly innocent and unrelated remarks about military activities can aid the enemy. Tom's neighbors, a railroad worker, a telephone operator, and Tom himself carelessly give facts about an invasion that are pieced together by the enemy. A Japanese headquarters prepares to intercept the troops; Tom is killed. -
