This is your FBI is next on ABC. You can help do something about muscular dystrophy, which today has over 100,000 victims, most of them children from 3 to 13. There is no pain, no known cause, no treatment, and no known cure.
Even those of you who are not parents must realize the heartbreak of standing by and the knowledge that you can't save a child from certain death. The only hope that exists is in constant painstaking research.
Your contributions will make this research possible. Send as much as you can to your local muscular dystrophy chapter or to the Muscular Dystrophy Association, New York 8, New York. This is your FBI, the official broadcast from the files of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, presented transcribed as a public service by the American Broadcasting Company.
to subject of our FBI file? Racketeering, its title? Mr. Big Shot! Modern Man has an enfuable record in many fields of endeavor, yet this highest of all civilizations also has its signs of decay. Or in this country, the time has come when one out of every sixteen people has been arrested for a major crime.
Whose fault is that? the criminal entirely to blame or is society partly to blame, a society which allows so many of its children to grow up in slums. Social studies made in recent years have placed the blame somewhere in between, but one thing has been made clear by those studies, and that is that crime like charity begins at home. The respect for law and order that decent
citizens have wasn't still to them when they were young. Rich or poor, there is one gift you can give your child that is priceless. Teach him to respect the dignity of his fellow human beings.
