On the night of September twelfth, 1949, t~cee men entered the
City Club of Gifford, Ohio, and brutally essaulted George Hegerty,
a minor ~litician on the City Council. H~erty died as a result
of this beating and the newly formed Citizens Orime Co~nlissian asked
your FB[ to conduct an investigation inbo the crindnal organization
which h'~d g~ined control of the city. Our investigation began when
~geht Bailey and I called at the home of Walter Lewis, steward of
the City Club.

SHEPpARD:
Aud as our investigation proceeded the Citizens' Grime Co~deslon
supplied uB with the political baskgrotmd of the assault on George
H~g~rty. As is often the ease in a criminally dominated city, it
was an open seoret that a racketeer naraed Nick Gordon was running
the town ~id that GordonCs lawyer wrote the wording of bills offered
to the City Coumcil. Theoretically it was possible to link Gerdon
to the assault on H~gerty.°.but only theoretically.

do.
S HEPpARD:
And as Agent Bailey and I assembled the me~ger evldenclce~in the assault
on Geo.ge~ Hsgerty, the testimony offered by the citynsteward, Walter
Lewis, seemed to offer a small inconsistency. A chance remark by an
employee of the club ~ucevered this inconsistency and Agent Bailey
went to work on it i,~ediately.

BARUCH:
Friends, while all cigarettes may look the same
on the outside -- there's an important inside
difference In Lucky Strike -- an inside difference
that proves Luckiss ere made better to taste
better. TEAR AND COMPARE and see for yourself.
P~'om a newly opened pack, take a cigarette made
by any other manufacturer. Then: carefully tear
thin strip of paper straight down the seem, from
end to end, and gently remove the tobacco. In
tearing, be careful not to loosen or dig Int.__£o
the tobacco. Now, do the same with a Lucky
Strike. Then compare. You'll find some cigarettes
are so loosely packed they fall apart. Others
have excessive air spaces that burn too fast --
taste hot and harsh and dry. But just look at
that Lucky. There you see a perfect cylinder of
fine, mild tobacco, so roun6, so firm, so fully
pocked, so free and easy on the draw. And notice
those long strands of freslt, clean, good-testing
tobacco that smoke smooth and even, thst give yea
a milder, better-tasting cigarette.

OAI~AIN:
Oh yee, that's what Henean told me.
8B]~P.~RD:
Of course that was the difficult part about breaking up this
operation. Host of the victims of the acheme were under the
impression that they had tried to bribe a Federal officer and they
didn't want that charge added to the others.
BAILEY:
plus the perverted notion of loyalty to the seller of the false
papers,
C~TAIN:
Yes, that's the part that's hard to understand. You'd think once
e man was caught...(LETS IT HANG)
BAILNY:
You'd think so, Oaptain, but it doesn't work that way. In fast, we
wouldn't have known about the impersonation augle if it hadn't
been for a notebook that was foumd on one of the sailors. In this
book he'd written dove bribe payments to "Agent Kohlar" of the FB[.

to try tracing the origin of the false papers. They were printed

OAPTAIN:
Wall, as I said, Haumsn paid elx hundred dollars for the false
papers and jumped ship. Naturally thie man~ell~ra kept cloae watoh
on him end, about a week later, Hanson invited Wellers to take e
drive in the country end see the farm that Hsneen was going to ~y.

... Astion~ But first ...
Friends, in a cigarette it's the taste that makes
the difference and Luckies taste better - cleans1',
fresher, s~oDther! Merels why: First of all,
better taste in a cigarette begins with fine
tobacco and Lucky Strike means fine tobacco -
fine, llFht, naturally mild tobacco. Second,
Luckiss are ,~a@e better, Every Lucky is round
and firm and fully packed ... ~ithout those
annoying loose ends that get in your mouth and
spoil the taste. Yes, every Lucky is packed
ri~ to draw free~ and evenly! So for a smoke
that tastes better -- cleaner, fresher, smoother,
Be Happy - Go Lucky_. M3ke oo~ next carbon
Lucky Strike!

In the late eu~er of last year several eastern cltieB were
pla6ued with a series of hold-ups "
~s. Aceordin~ to a description by the Victims
each of the robberies was pulled by the same Indivldual, and
when this was made evident the Bureau was asked into the case.
We were looking for a tall, well-mannered man in his early forties,
and we were aware that the search for him wouldn't be easy.
Not a sin61e article of stolen property had appeared since the
original robbery, and it was natural to assume that our man had
either held on %o hie hauls or had found an elusive means %o
dispose of them. (~J_~IO__$~TS.~.llQ3t~il It was with this in

what happened to the people in tonight's story.
SmoKers, you can easily see for yourself the
insid[ reasons ~hy Lueklee taste better --
clean~qr, fres___~h[[, 9mOO___ tth~C[! Just take a Lucky
frDm a ne~;ly opened pack and carefully re,love the
paper by tearing do~n the seam from end to end.
Be sure to start on the seam. In tearing donlt
crush or dig into the tobacco. Now, examine that
perfect cylinder of fir;e, ,nild tobacco. See how
it holds together -- ~ithout those annoyinE loose
ends that get in your mouth and spoil the taste.
That's why Luckies taste cleaner. Notice how
free your Lucky is from air spaces - hot spots
that burn too fast - taste hot and harsh, Tnatts
why Luekiee taste fresher. And laok at that fi~e,
good-taetln~ tobacco -- 2A_~mfectlyv shre~de~ and
~e_~d just ri~h_~t to draw freely and smoke evenly,
That~ why Luekiss taste smoother. So, for a
cleaner, fresher, e~ootbeq smoke, ,~ake o~_oq~ next
carton Lucky Strike!

Beck to "The Bait" in Just a mo~eflt.
Friends, ~hile all cigarettes may look the same
on the outside - therele an important in___si_._4~
difference in Lucky Strike -- an inside difference
that crows Luckiee are mad___£ better to tast.___£ batter
and you san see for yourself - just TEAR AI~
COMPARE. From a ne~:ty opened pack, take e
slgarette made by any other manufacturer. Then,
carefully tear a thin strip of paper straight
6e~n the seam, from end to end, and gently remove
the tobacco. In tearing, be earefu[ not to loosen
el, dig int____o the tobacco. Now, do the same with a
Lucky Strike. Then compare. Yeufll find some
cigarettes are so loosely pa~ked they fall apart.
Others have ~xceesive air spaces that burn too
fast -- taste hot. harsh and dry. But Just look
at that Lucky. There you see a perfect cylinder
of fine. mt1@ tobacco, So round, SO fir:s, so
fully packed, so free a~d ees~ on the draw.
And notlae these long strands of fresh, clean,
good-tasting tobacco that smoke smooth and even,
that give ~ou a mi[der, better-tastlng cigarette.
