Transcript

The Equitable Life Assurance Society presents This is your FBI This is your FBI The official broadcast from the files of the Federal Bureau of Investigation presented as a public service by the Equitable Life Assurance Society of the United States and the Equitable Society's representative in your community.

In a few minutes, someone may telephone your home to ask you a question. No, it won't be the FBI, but it may happen like this. Yes? Yes, it is. What program are you listening to, please?

It's your FBI, just starting. Do you know who sponsors that program? Sure I do. My good friends, the Equitable Life Assurance Society. Just last Wednesday, my Equitable Representative was telling me about a special life insurance plan for men and women on the way up.

That's a great life insurance plan. So naturally I know that this is your FBI is sponsored by the Equitable Society. And in just 15 minutes I'll give you full information about the Equitable Society's plan for men and women on the way up.

The Night's FBI File, the Used Baby Racket. Well a great tragedy occurs somewhere in the world and a thousand people are killed.

Not because we think it's a greater tragedy than the death of a thousand people, but because we can put ourselves in the man's place and really understand that one single death. For that reason it may not strike you as horrible that in 1946 in these United States, there were more than a million, six hundred thousand major crimes committed.
