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 representatives in your community.
This afternoon and this evening all over the country, equitable society representatives have been calling your friends on the telephone. You know? Yeah, I know. I listen every Friday. Finding chart for fun.
Tonight's FBI file, the Happy Honeymooners. Crime in the United States today is at an all-time high. And the figures gathered by your FBI and by other law enforcement agencies are enough to shock even the most complacence into a realization that the time to fight the crime wave is now.
There is an average of more than 2,000 thefts committed in this country every day, or more than one every minute around the clock. That fact is serious enough. But even more serious is the companion truth that crime, like any disease, spreads quickly when it remains unchecked.
We are all about to enter a new year. If we all do our part to help fight that crime wave, it can be a year to be remembered with pride. If we fail to do our part, then the same crimes we suffered this year will be repeated.
With one difference, there will be more of them. The elements on a remote country lane in one of our Midwestern states. It is early afternoon and a young boy and girl are riding along the river road in a brand new convertible.
Isn't this nice honey? Nice honey. Ah, it's lovely, Eddie. It's lovely. Mm-hmm. Happy. Very. Oh, look at that view. You can see 10 miles up the river. Oh, gee. I wish we could sometimes settle down in a place like this.
