The Brisbane Fraud Matter (AFRTS)

John Lund has Johnny Dollar. Did you Johnny Pantella at missing person? You telephone this office about you, Brickbane, did you? That's right. Insurance is like your business. I'm investigating. All right. I was sent here by the company that wrote the bonding policy on Brisbane's firm.

We heard he'd been reported missing. One of Brisbane's clients, after being one of our insurance brokers, he reported it to us. Oh. Any leads? Fine. We'll return to our program in a moment. But first, I'd like to say a few words about jamming.

and I don't mean mothers preserve. During wartime, it has frequently been the practice of an enemy country to jam our radio communication. That is, to cut into our broadcasting with broadcasting of their own so that our radio messages cannot be received with any degree of clarity.

There was a time when our civilian radio broadcasts were jammed too, unintentional though it was. As you can imagine, it was quite a mess, and still could be. Can you imagine what would happen today if there was no coordination among our many radio and TV stations?

Or if the telephone companies didn't cooperate? When radio broadcasting first began in our country, each station shows its own call letters, power, and spot on the dial. It wasn't long before two or three stations would try to come in on the same spot, and the poor listener couldn't understand the thing he heard.

So to get things organized, the Federal Communications Commission was born. Licenses were issued to each station and to qualified operating engineers. The same thing now applies to TV stations. Today, a radio or TV station may request certain call letters, and if no one else has them, the call letters are issued.
