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

This has been a busy day for many Equitable Society representatives, making phone calls, one after another, calls to men and women who look as if they were due to travel far on the road to success.

These men and women were asked to do a very simple thing, to listen to tonight's announcement about the equitable society's plan for men and women on the way up. In about 14 minutes, I'll give full details on this special plan for every man who feels that he has what it takes to succeed.

It is offered by the Equitable Life Assurance Society of the United States. Tonight's FBI file, Voice from the River. In ancient times it is recorded that the King of a large nation once called his wise men together and asked them to compose a sentence.

However, crime will not pass from as that easily, without anything being done about it. Mention is made at this time because the Federal Bureau of Investigation recently made public the results of its annual survey, its nationwide study of the crime situation.
