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.

From time to time in the 30s and early 40s, most men and women asked themselves, Ask themselves, what will I be doing when I am 65 years old? What are my chances of being 100% self-supporting when it's time to stop work?

Well, that's largely up to you and the decision you make right now. One such opportunity for an important decision will be offered to you in our middle commercial. It tells about the Equitable Society's independent 60s plan.

This plan means exactly what it says. Financial independence for you in your 60s. Do you like that idea? Then please listen carefully to this important message from the Equitable Society coming in about 14 minutes.

The subject of a FBI file hijacking its title, The Return of Father Crime. Recent investigations have given the public a new conception of organized crime.

their children to exclusive schools. They themselves often belong to the good clubs and bend elbows amiably with respectable citizens at the 19th hole. These men run crime as a big business and frequently make fat profits through the unsuspecting people they can sort with socially.

Your FBI has long known this menace, and you can rest assured, is doing everything in its power to uproot it. Tonight's dramatization from the official FBI files is a case in point. Tonight's file opens in a large Midwestern city.
