This Is Your FBI: The Baffled Bookkeeper

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 transcribed as a public service by the Equitable Life Assurance Society of the United States and the Equitable Society's representative in your community.

The Equitable Life Assurance Society has nearly 8,000 trained representatives from coast to coast, serving more than 4 million members. Tonight, one of our Equitable Society representatives has a message on Social Security. Recent changes in the Social Security law mean a lot to a lot of people.

Just about everybody has had his personal security plans changed by the newer and increased benefits he's entitled to. Isn't this a good time to take stock of your family's financial future? If you agree, have a look at the equitable societies revised fact-finding chart for fathers and mothers.

It will help you get a clear picture of just where you and your family stand. In just about 14 minutes, Mr. Keating will tell you more about this chart and what it can do for you.

Tonight, FBI file number 291, its subject, Interstate Loughery, its title, the Baffle Bookkeeper. The program chosen for dramatization this evening from the files of the Federal Bureau of Investigation tells the story of two racketeers, two men who put crime on a business basis.

They operated an interstate lottery, a racket which existed because people condoned it, as during the years of prohibition, they condone the selling of whiskey. Including policy and number slips, millions of lottery tickets are sold in the United States every day.

Those of you who buy them, even if your contribution is a single dime, are doing business with criminals, are aiding and abetting the enemies of law and order. The police are carrying on a vigilant war against racketeers like the men you will meet in this case, but they cannot do the job alone.
