Listen carefully to this special message from Mr. Francis B. Davis Jr., chairman of the Board of Directors of the United States Rubber Company. Mr. Davis says, and we quote, We deeply regret losing an employee.

We are glad to be able to help in easing the financial burden on his family through group life insurance. What will happen to my family if? That's a worry that troubles every husband and father.

Our company's answer to that universal if is group insurance and peace of mind. Yes, group insurance is something worth owning. In 14 minutes, the Equitable Life Assurance Society will give further important information about group insurance which will interest both employers and employees.

Tonight's FBI file, the big shake-dow. When the last United States Census was taken, there were 300,000 people in this country who gave their address as prison.

What made those people criminals? How had they become different than the ordinary law-abiding citizen who does his job and goes his way? The answers to those questions are not simple, but it can be said that the criminal does have two characteristics that outweigh all others.

The first is greed. The overwhelming desire to get something for nothing. The second is ego. The ability of the criminal to believe that he is smart enough to get away with any crime. Be that crime robbery, larceny, forgery, auto theft, or even murder.
