This is Your FBI: The Tribal Shakedown

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.

In the 30s and early 40s, most men and women asked themselves, What will I be doing when I am 65 years old? Well, that's largely up to you. And the decision you make right now.

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 in your 60s. Listen carefully to this important message from the Equitable Society coming in about 14 minutes.

The subject of our FBI file, murder! It's title, The Tribal Shakedown! Tonight's case from the files of the Federal Bureau of Investigation was selected for dramatization because it points out a very fundamental shortcoming in America's educational system.

Despite the fact that our country spends vast sums of money on schools and teachers, millions of our people must be classified as uneducated, half-educated, or badly educated. Among the ranks of the uneducated and the half educated, as you will see in tonight's file, criminals find some of their ideal victims. People who are an

easy mark for this or that racket. From the ranks of the badly educated are recruited the criminals themselves, or we must realize that education is more than mere book learning. Any education worthy of the name must include intelligent instruction in the ideals of good citizenship. It must teach us respect for the law and moral integrity in dealing with our fellow men.
