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!

Now for a moment we're going to hear from a representative of our sponsor, the equitable life-assuring society of the United States. I like my job as an equitable society representative because it enables me to do a lot of good for my friends and neighbors.

For instance, the Equitable Education Fund. Last week seven boys and girls started off for college because years ago I showed their fathers the advantages of an Equitable Education Fund. In approximately fourteen minutes I'll be back to give you the whole story of an Equitable education fund, an important contribution to American education made by the Equitable Life

of Children's Society of the United States. Tonight's FBI file, The Flying Thieves. From time to time, the Federal Bureau of Investigation has brought you the latest reports from the field of crime on this, their official radio program.

You have learned that there are more than 5,000 major crimes committed every day in this that when broken down that figure reveals that major crimes are committed every day and night at the rate of three a minute.

That is a question to which there is no specific answer, no descriptive phrase that could be applied to cover every person who breaks the law.
