This country has changed in many ways, but in one respect it is still the same. In those early days people always spoke of America as the land of opportunity. Well, it still is the land of opportunity just as much as ever.

In just a few minutes, in tonight's Middle Commercial, the Equitable Society will have a special message for listeners who agree with this philosophy. We will describe a special life insurance plan for men and women on the way up, offered by the equitable life-assurance society of the United States.

Tonight's FBI file, the Baby Rental Racket. The Federal Bureau of Investigation has just completed its annual survey into the field of crime. This study covers the period from January 1st to the end of December, 1948.

It contains more statistics than we could bring you if we read you nothing else for the entire time allotted to the program. Let us give you two facts gathered from this current report. The first is, the Federal Bureau of Investigation received and analyzed more fingerprints of persons arrested during the year just past than in any other year since the FBI was created.

That means that the crime wave which showed some side of letting up is now in the process of engulfing us and will unless strong measures are taken and taken immediately. The other fact we bring you is from the crime report.
