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.
In a recent talk, Thomas I. Parkinson, President of the Equitable Life Assurance Society, remarked self-reliant citizens living in their own mortgage-free homes are the cornerstone of a free country. That is why of all the manifold services rendered by the Equitable Society to its four million members, one which I write near the top in importance, is the Equitable's Assured Home Ownership Plan.
In about 14 minutes I'll be back to tell you homeowners about the Equitable Society's famous assured home ownership plan that President Parkinson considers so important. Tonight, the subject of our FBI file, draft dodging, its title, the Selective Service Swindle.
One of the advantages of a democracy such as ours is that in time of crisis, people willingly put forth their every extra energy. That is as true of the men of the Federal Bureau of Investigation as of any workers in the nation.
Your FBI is now back on a six-day week. Every special agent in the organization is carrying an average of 26 cases. In addition, the Bureau of Personnel has the added responsibility of handling the millions of loyalty checks requested by other government agencies.
Tonight's case from the files of your FBI is brought to you so that you may be comfortable in the knowledge that despite its mouth and the work, the policy of the bureau has remained constant. Each file is investigated by special agents with every facility at their command.
