Tonight, the Sub-A-T-R-F-B-I-F-I-L impersonation, its title, The Baby Pedalers. Any criminal who is plotting to swindle you, the American public, is well aware of your habits, your virtues, your weaknesses. For this is his business. To hit his intended victim at the most opportune spot at the most opportune time.

Many swindlers hide their activities under the guise of a very innocent appearing business. Fake charitable organizations, phony welfare leagues. For inappealing to your heart, the criminal knows your generosity may be aroused, but seldom your suspicion.

In this country there are many legitimate charitable organizations soliciting funds for extremely worthwhile causes. But the representatives of these legitimate organizations carry complete and authorized credentials. The swindler does not. He carries only the hope that the innocent appearing spiel he has rehearsed will convince some generous citizen to give him money.
