This Is Your FBI: The Trans-Atlantic Shakedown

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

Tonight we have in our radio audience thousands of people who will be listening for the Middle Commercial all because of a postcard. Yes, a postcard they received in the mail this morning from a representative of the Equitable Life Assurance Society.

But whether you received a postcard from your Equitable Man or not, the Equitable Society and its representatives urge you to listen to tonight's middle commercial.

Tonight's FBI file, but transatlantic shakedown. The old days before there was such a thing as the Federal Bureau of Investigation, crime was a localized affair.

And even in those instances where he made good his escape, the criminal could not get very far because the means of transportation at his disposal were meager, even if he lived in one of the nation's largest cities. Today,

however, all of that has changed. In this age of jet propulsion, it is possible for a man to commit a crime in one city, and for him to take refuge in another city three thousand miles away before the very crime has been discovered. It is true that the progress made in transportation has also made it easier for the special agents of your FBI to cover
