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.

I think you'll agree with me that there's nothing sadder than people over 60 who are utterly dependent on their children or relatives. Get acquainted with a man who can show you how you can enjoy carefree independence in your 60s.

He's a neighbor of yours, your local equitable society representative, and you like doing business with him. In about 14 minutes I'd like to tell you more about this friendly, helpful neighbor of yours and how he can help you to take advantage of membership in the equitable life assurance society of the United States.

Tonight, the subject of our FBI file, bank robbery, its title, Snow Screen. In the fiction of crime, from the days of Poe and Victor Hugo to the era of the comic book and the pulp magazine, the conflict between law-breaker and law-enforcer, as usually been depicted as an individual battle, a duel of wits and skill, with the arch-criminal pitted against the relentless lawman.

Since the inception of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, however, the facts have been less romantic, more successful. The records of your FBI show that seldom if ever is apprehending a criminal a one-man job. Although each case is assigned to a single agent in a single office, many men cooperate in its solution.

Scientists, technicians, local and state peace officers, members of other federal agencies, and as many other special agents as may be needed. Many or all of these may work on a single case. Even as in the case you are about to hear, in the most remote areas of its jurisdiction, the full striking force of your FBI is available to be used as needed.
