Speed Trap

suspense and the producer of radio's outstanding theater of thrills, the master of mystery and adventure William N. Robeson. A murderer is a psychopathic individual. He has a screw loose. He's the mind of some of his marbles. No rational sane person deliberately sets out to kill another human being or himself for that matter, accepting under one special condition when he gets behind the wheel

of an automobile. Then all the rules of human behavior are rescinded. Anything can happen, and what tragic frequency does. The mild-mannered Mr. Milktoast becomes an angel of death. A stride is 350 horses. He ranges the highways of the nation with the murderous vengeance of a latter-day Genghis Khan. He cannot be persuaded. He cannot be reasoned with. His headlong rush to destruction

his own or anyone else that might be in his path is only somewhat deterred by the highway patrolmen who daily risked their lives in the ceaseless struggle against murder on wheels. Of such elements has constructed the story you are about to hear. It is a moral tale, but a chilling one. Listen. Listen then, as Everett Sloan stars in Speed Trap, which begins in

exactly one minute. How can heroism be acknowledged and symbolized? Recognition of outstanding heroism takes the form of America's supreme military decoration, the Medal of Honor. It is awarded to those members of the United States Armed Forces, who distinguished themselves conspicuously by gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of life, above and beyond the

call of duty, in action involving actual conflict with an enemy. For recipients in the Army and Air Force, the medal is a gold-finished bronze star with with the head of the ancient goddess Minerva in the center.
