Transcript

The Equitable Life Assurance Society presents This is your FBI This is your FBI the official broadcast 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 Represented in your community Did you ever stop to think how a little thing like a penny postcard can change your whole life?

Take this case, for example. Tonight, thousands of people are listening for this equitable society radio program's middle commercial, all because some equitable society representative took the trouble to mail out postcards, postcards inviting them to do so.

This commercial will bring you a special message about the equitable society's independent 60s plan, a practical workable plan for people who want to be completely independent in their 60s. I'll be back in approximately 14 minutes to give you full information on this special plan offered by the Equitable Life Assurance Society of the United States.

Tonight's FBI file, the runaway guest. The first important study of the criminal as a human being and of the factors which go to make him a criminal was undertaken some 75 years ago in New York.

The result was a report which gave to the English language the word, Jukes, out of which has comes at words as juke-choint and several others. That study made the point for the first time that heredity and environment were important factors in the formation of the criminal. Other studies have been made from time to time on the same subject. Sociologists are still

trying to determine the factors that turn a person into an enemy of society. Those factors are of course many and varied, and scientists are no closer to a definite solution to the problem than they are to finding all the reasons for people falling in love.
