This Is Your FBI: The Two Wise Men

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 present as a public service by the Equitable Life Assurance Society of the United States and the Equitable Society's representative in your community The Equitable Life Assurance Society is a great mutual institution organized to serve America

Therefore, one of the equitable society's major objectives is to make all possible contributions to the welfare and stability of American business, on which so many of the equitable societies nearly four million members depend. Tonight's middle commercial is addressed to people who personally own some part of the business enterprise in which they are employed.

For such owners, this commercial, given about 14 minutes, will have information from the equitable life-assuring society of the United States. Tonight's FBI file, the two wise men. In the past six months, there have been almost 380,000 fingerprint arrest records added to the files of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, an addition which brings the number of such

fingerprint records to the staggering total of seven and a half million. That figure, seven and a half million can be said quickly, can be rolled off the tongue and forgotten just as quickly. But your FBI asks you to stop for a moment and to realize what that figure represents.

These cards represent seven and a half million people who have been arrested in the United States. Since we have slightly more than 140 million people in the country, it means that one out of every eighteen among us has an arrest record.

Your FBI implores you to do everything that you can to help fight the crime wave. Less the next survey show that the figure has risen beyond its present high record, and we find ourselves literally engulfed in every type of crime from lasenade to murder.
