Ladies and gentlemen, the documented story you will hear during the next 30 minutes is not a subject commonly discussed. It is a criminal problem that is not yet nationwide,

1:02but it's a problem which is growing rapidly. We present it now so that you may recognize it for what it is if and when in Bage Your City. The story you're about to hear is true. Only the names have been changed to protect the innocent. Fatima, best of all, King-sized cigarettes, brings you dragnet. You're a detective sergeant. You're assigned a bunkco detail. You begin to receive reports of a vicious new racket growing in your city, a television repair racket. The repairman lie, overcharge, bill you for work not done, for parts not needed, for parts they don't install. Your job? Stop them. How does Fatima compare with other King-sized cigarettes?

2:03Fatima's are the same length and circumference. 85mm long, 1 1 1 ¼ inch is around. And Fatima filters a smoke exactly the same long distance as any other King-sized cigarette.

Remember, Fatima has all the advantages of extra length, plus Fatima quality, which no other King-sized cigarette has. So insist on the best. Smoke King-sized Fatima, best of all King-sized cigarettes. Dragnet, the documented drama of an actual crime. For the next 30 minutes in cooperation of the Los Angeles Police Department, you will travel step by step on the side of the law through an actual case

3:03transcribed from official police files. From beginning to end, from crime to punishment, Dragnet is the story of your police force in action. It was Monday, January 19th. It was overcast in Los Angeles. We were working the day watch out of Bunko detail. My partner's Ben Romero, the boss is Captain McCauley, my name's Friday. It was 9.50 am when we got to the third floor of the Los Angeles Daily News. The Assistant City Editor's office. Hi, Friday. Come on in, Sudan. Morning, Jack. I'd like you to meet my partner, Ben Romero. Ben, this is Jack Canette, staff writer for the Daily News. All right, Canette. I don't know where you're been. Sudan, fellas. Thanks. We just let the skipper over to City Hall. Did the captain brief you on this thing? Yeah, he gave us a parcel, Phil, and we've been working on it from our end about two weeks now. Oh, Paul Price. He's already your TV editor. Paul and I had a long session with Captain McCauley yesterday, and I guess now we're ready to move on this thing, huh? We'll do everything we can. Would you like to fill Ben in and what you told me yesterday on the phone?

4:03Yeah, well, Price was the one who began getting the first complaint sir at the paper. A tremendous number of his readers wrote him complaints about being victimized by a crooked television repairman. Not being charged too much for repair? Partly, yeah. Some of the people even sent in receipts with their letters. Said they felt the guys who fixed their sets were driven up unnecessary repairs, charging them for work not done. Some said they knew they were built for parts, I'd even replaced or installed in their sets. Ben Jack told me yesterday about a letter he got from some men. Said he thought he'd been overcharged and he just started to belly ache about it. Yeah, I followed the name of Vincent. Said he just put up an old-fashioned squawk about it and the repairman brought the price down at least one third. And it doesn't sound very good. We kind of figured out players like that must have too many repair sets on hand that their customers can't afford to bail out. That's why they cut. Sounds like a clear case of a two-bit Jeep detonation. Something's got to be done about it. We're ready to give it a big plan on our paper. Expose the fraud for what it really is. Captain McColley says Chief Parker's okay to our plan. We can count on full police cooperation. That's the way we got it Jack. We were told to work with you people till we broke this thing. Fine. We dug up a little ammunition to start with, I think.

5:04One of our interviews about 15 different television repairmen and various neighborhoods and about three out of five gave me the same pitch. What did they know you were with the newspaper? No, I told them I was a factory representative for a new kind of a Rosemakers solder company. I was taken orders. I actually had dropped in the different stores, shot the breeze with them and they didn't seem to get wise. A couple of them even placed orders for the service. What did you find there? Well, I just wanted to try and get the general attitude of some of these Jeep artists. I really got an earful. One of the last places I get was a tiny little hole in the wall out near Canoga Park. As I say about two out of five, I was on as hard work and repairman. This fellow was one of them. What are you getting at, Jack? For a while this fellow worked for a guy with an employed about five men in the shop. I finally quit him because he didn't like the way this big operator did business. Tell us in the next office. I want you to hear it from him just as I got it. Excuse me, you know. Hey, where's the command, please? Sir, Mr. Matt. This is Hank Coder, Sergeant Friday, Sergeant Ben Romero, Police Department. Why? Hank, I wonder if you'd tell these officers a little of what you told me about Kilgore TV specialist.

6:05All right. I suppose I'm a customer now. I commend to Kilgore's. I don't like the size of my repair bill. What were you instructed to say? We generally tried to talk them out of any complaint. As far as I complained about all the multiple charges, I wanted an explanation of the work you did. What then? You just tell you that it wouldn't do any good to explain you wouldn't understand all the technical stuff anyway. Tell us Kilgore's attitude with the customer. You mean about the loose wires, sir? Yeah, please. Well, Kilgore used to tell us that we only charge 50 cents for fixing the loose wire. The customer wouldn't believe we really fixed this set. So we used to charge quite a lot more. Well, how much more, for example? For nickel's worth a wire, we usually charge $4.75. Pretty fair, beloved. It's a real rod. What else can you tell us, huh? Well, we never let a customer watch any of the TV repair jobs. For example, for customer causes, as he thinks the tooth blown out and it'll only be a simple replacement job in his home, when we tell him the parts they're getting hard to get and we'd have to take his set into the shop and charge him a higher rate because we had to pay black market prices for the tube. Wasn't there any tooth in that? I mean, about the tubes being hard to get. I'm not much.

7:05Some of them are getting a little hard to get. We never paid any black market prices at kilagores. We just slugged the customer. Tell them about how you used to swap parts on a new set, huh? Well, we'd lots of times part in new tube for one not so good. One not so good. We put in a set with a bad tube. And the bad tube would exchange the factory under one year guarantee. I don't miss an angle, do they? Well, that said, you've heard from a man who couldn't stomach such practice and quit one in the business. A little bit of a shop isn't doing too well. Are you, Hank? No, but I think I can build up the business. I don't make quite as much profit as kilagores, but I don't just in my customers either. Thanks a lot, Hank. I wonder if you'd wait in the next office for me? Sure. Hope I've helped a little bit to crack down on some of these guys. What we think you have, Hank, thanks a lot. Nice to meet you. Right. See you later. Seems like a nice bell. Here he is. I've checked one of them and I've talked to some of these customers since I met him. He's honest. It's a pretty vicious racket in there. You know what it'll be stopped now. The television's a wonderful medium of entertainment. A lot of the country doesn't have it yet, but when the cable goes through and it finally opens up, the people should know about the swimmers and the crooks will try to jump in.

8:07Yeah, it's the same way when radio first came. It always seems like when anything new comes along, anything a little complicated, maybe a little too involved for the average guy. I have a few smart punks victimizing them, rob the consumer blind. Well, naturally we've got to have some positive evidence before we can file a complaint with the city attorney on this thing. Yeah, your fellow is the only idea is where to start. The best way to crack down on these crooked operators is to catch him red handed with evidence and hold up and court now. We think maybe we've got an idea. Well, we were talking to Dick Saunders over in our sound lab. He says that he can bungle a new TV set and we can market and photograph it before it goes out to be repaired. When it's returned or after it's fixed, well, I put what we need to go to court on. Yeah, that's it. We can operate right out of one of our own homes. Our way after do is hope the repairman overcharges us or tries to jib us. Yeah, that's right. That's hope it works. Well, from what we've heard, it's got to. 10 a.m. The staff writer Jack Kinnett, Ben and I drove back downtown. On the way, it was decided that we'd use Kinnett's home as the place from which to operate. It was centrally located in an average neighborhood.

9:09When we got back to our office, we contacted one of the local television dealers and asked for the loan of one of their sets. They recommended K Halbert because the chassis is easily accessible and any trouble could be located quickly because parts are visible. A 16 inch K Halbert console model was sent to our sound lab. 10 a.m. we met with Dick Saunders, our police lab technician. His set 16 inch console model serial number C2817901. What have you done to it, Dick? First off, I tested the set and it performed perfectly. Good set brings in a fine picture, see? That's 20. Test pattern is fine, huh? Yeah, it's good. Tested all the tubes all okay. How are you working the set? Yeah, I'm showing. You know too about it here. Now, if you look closely here at the base of the socket, see it? What's that? This is it, isn't it, Dick? Little tiny dot of green paint? Yeah, that's right, Ben.

10:11I'm marking every part of the set with his tiny green dot. It works good. So I didn't spot it out of anyone else work, especially if I didn't know about it. Yeah, so we're okay. In addition to this type marking, we've taken all serial numbers, up to tubes and various parts, anything that carried any form of coating we took down. All made a component to the mark. Transformers, coils, condensers, tuning units, saw. Did you get any pictures of it? Yeah, we did. Took photographs of the set in and out of the cabinet. It took them from four different angles just to be sure we were well covered. Well, how did you bungling? Well, here's what I did. To put the set out of commission, I burned out the filament of the 5U4G the old director fire tube. What's the cost of that particular tube, son? Well, this tube, ordinarily, it retails for a $65 sense. Well, what does that do to the set? I mean, burning out the tube. By burning out that filament, we caused the sound and picture circuits to be completely inoperative. But won't work at all until that particular tube is replaced by a good one. That's right, Joe. How big a job would it be to trace the trouble? Well, it could easily be detected by casual observation

11:12or by noting that the tube normally very hot is cold. How much time would you say it would require to make a repair like this? Oh, I just make not over half hour would be required to place this set in operating order. How far? Okay, thanks a lot, Dick. You're going to take care of getting the set out to connect home right away. Yeah, I was addressed right here. I'll get it right out. All right, five. If you can, try to get whoever repairs this set to give you an item I'll build of all work done and parts installed. Right. In case you call more than one outfit today, here's an extra bad five-view 4G tube. Thank you, Dave. Anything you'd like to know? No, I think that about covers it for me. Yeah. One more thing. I was just wondering if somebody spots the trouble right away every place was a tube. What do you think they got a charge, Dick? Labor and all. Or check through RTA on at this morning. They said to make a house call and replace the defective tube should not exceed $4.50. Okay, thanks. It does it for now, huh? Yeah, I guess so. Well, you're all set then. Think I'll get what you're at after? Well, we should. The odds are all on our side.

12:1410.30 a.m. Monday, January 19th. We left the Sound Lab on West First Street and walked back to Bunko Division. We met with Captain McCauley and filled him in. We gave him the newspaper man Jack Kanetz address and told him he could reach us there. The console model television set was delivered to Kanetz home and properly installed. When we arrived at his home, we started going through the yellow classified section of the phone directory. We made a list of several TV service stores just picked at random. We chose a wide variety. We picked stores that were listed with large boxed in ads. Stores that carried no ads, just a listing. Ben called two places and staggered the call so that the repairman would arrive about one hour apart. It was 11.30 a.m. when the first man made his service call. Bart's TV experts on Hollywood Boulevard. It took him 45 minutes. It was 12.15 when he left Jack Kanetz home. Must have been one of the two out of five, huh? Yeah, he seems okay. I wonder if I can see that bill.

13:14Oh, here you go, Joe. Thanks. It looks okay. Replace five U4 G2 $1.65. Service charge 250 total charges $4.15. That kind of bears out Kanetz thinking, doesn't it? Remember when we asked him how many men worked in these shop and said he's alone? I think you'll find that's a pretty good brawler. All the service men working alone are like this guy, but the bigger percentage of the honest ones are. When's the next one due to arrive in? Anyway, no. Called a place where the name of Cheney's video repairs are over on Beverly Boulevard. Had a big end. Looks like a pretty big out of fin. Oh, here's that other defective tube that Dick gave us. Yeah, better get it in the sand. Let's see. Here we are. I have you for you. Okay, here you go. Thanks, Jill. Here's a new one that got it. Okay. Get this back on again. Okay. Yeah, fine. Better turn it on to make sure it's not working.

14:15I got it. How about the tube bend? Can you see it lighting up? No, not yet. I pushed you set back against the wall. We better leave it on for a while, Jack, just to make sure. Yeah. There we are. I gave you the other tube. Yeah, I got it right here in my pocket. I'd like to try something. If you follow, say it'll be okay. What's in it, Jack? I got a good little camera. I'd like a three-up for you know, candid. I think maybe if I turn all the three-way lamps up to four, there's a triple-A fast film that's in the camera now. I think we can grab some shots of the guy while he works. What do you think? Well, if you're careful, don't let him get wise. Maybe I'll shoot some of all of us just so he doesn't think anything about it. Yeah, that's what I figured out. Just sit down on that chair with her, but the set, make him think I'm just testing or something. I think I can bring it off without arousing any suspicion. Okay. If I get any thing, the guy's out of line. We'll run the shots on the daily news. What do you figure I'm doing? Jackie Glenn running series on the TV repair racket? Yeah, that's the plan. Lee Payne, he's our executive editor. He thinks it's high time somebody explores the swindle in the paper. And it'll be the next service, man. I'm letting me.

15:15Right. Better turn off the set. Yeah. Television repair. That's right. Change and Beverly Bowie. Oh, yeah. Come on in. Thank you. Oh, what's the speed of trouble? We don't know. That's right over here. Oh, thanks. Ever been somewhere beautiful, but felt like you were on the outside looking in because you couldn't speak the language. I've had those moments too. That's why I want to tell you about Babel. It's not about memorizing grammar rules or competing on leaderboards. Babel teaches you phrases you'd actually use in real conversations in real places.

16:16That's B-A-B-B-E-L dot com pod. Okay, how about 60 nits nice. Oh, what seems to be wrong? I have to find no son. Nothing seems to work. No, I mean, no, thanks. You're tall. How about sound? Nothing. Uh-huh. I'll be alright. Pull the set away from the wall. You're good. I can give you a hand. I don't know. Sorry. I can hand it. I think it's a tool, though. How long you have this set? A whole lot. Two or three months. Mm-hmm. Dark in here. I wonder if we could have a little more light. Sure, let me get this lamp up for you. Okay. How's that? Oh, fine. Thanks. Stance, nice old camera you got there. What kind is it? I like it. 3F-15 lens.

17:17Uh-huh. But experimenting with some new indoor film. Do you mind being a guinea pig? No, it's alright with me. It's shamed away. It's good to film on me, though. I think you're going to get anything in this light, yet? Well, maybe. For the trial, anyway. I don't know about this set, money moon. Well, it looks bad. Hard to tell without getting it down the shop. Looks to me like your blocking transformer's gone. What's that mean? Well, I take the set in. Can't fix it here. No, I'm afraid not. You see, your parts are getting a little hard to get these days. They're set manufacturers having a tough time getting quality parts. And sometimes we have to spend several hours just tracing the trouble. Well, I guess that lacks out the volume that I know, fellas. Hmm. Sorry. Take a couple of days at least. I wonder if we really check it over. Sure, it's not a tube. What kind of thought just a tube will be? No, that's what most people think every time their set goes out. It's definitely not a tube. Well, it might be some bad tubes, but your trouble's a great deal more than that. I think you got any idea what it's going to run us? It's hard to say right off hand. Um, four five dollars.

18:17No, it's going to run more than that. I'll take the setting with me now and I'll get it back to you as soon as possible. You're going to take the whole set? No, I'll just pull it chassis out of the cabin. Leave the cabin here. Oh, uh, say by the way, yeah? If everything turns out it, you're like to see those pictures. Yeah, if everything turns out you will. You are listening to dragnet authentic cases from official police files. Now let's look at our Fatima files listed under B Bella. James Warner, Bella, distinguished author. He says a man who smokes as much as I do wants a cigarette that's extra mild. And I like Fatima's different flavor and aroma listed under S. Scanlon. Louise Scanlon, star club cigarette girl. She says more and more of my star club customers are smoking king size Fatima's. They're elegant, distinctive and really extra mild friends.

19:21Our file show Fatima sales are going up up every day. The reason for Fatima's ever increasing popularity can be summed up in two words. Fatima quality Fatima gives you extra mildness. A much different, much better flavor and aroma. If you smoke a king size cigarette, remember this Fatima has all the advantages of extra length. Plus Fatima quality, which no other king size cigarette has. In Fatima, the difference is quality. So insist on the best. In insist on king size Fatima. Next time buy Fatima in the distinctive gold and yellow package. Best of all, king size cigarettes. Thursday, January 22nd, 9.30am. The TV set was returned to reporter Jack Canette's home after having been repaired by a servicing company called Cheney's Video Repairs.

20:27We found that the man who had come to Canette's home to make the service call was Robert V. Cheney, the owner of the service outfit. Well, as soon as the set was returned, we called the sound lab and had it picked up and taken downtown. Sergeant Marshall Sino, who was working with us out of Bunko detail, called and said that Dick Saunders had finished his investigation and wanted to see us right away. 10.30am, we went down to West First Street, the police sound lab. Saunders went over his findings with us. Here are the photographs before and after. Before we go over these, let me show you what we found out about your repair job. Over here. Is that receipt Cheney gave you when he returned the set? Yeah. Here's what the repair bill states. Replaced vertical blocking transformer. Replaced 5U, 4G, 2B, 6A, 6T and 12A, 7T. From the charge was $32.50. Plus $0.98 or $33.48.

21:27How does that break down, Dick? It appears that the $0.98 tax was for $28 worth of material used in the repair. Did they really put in all that stuff? You got yourself a prized package in that outfit. All they did was replace the 5U, 4G, 2B. I saw they did. And here's the camper. The 5U, 4G is a war surplus tube. It works okay. And what else did you find? According to the photographs and coding system, no vertical blocking transformer. 6A, U6, 2B, 12A, U7, 2B, or Replaced. Let's get back to the puttus here. Here you can take these along for your package. You can see in the set here. Let me show you. See this tube? The only part mentioned in the receipt or otherwise, it doesn't carry our green paint coding system. Let me turn it on. Joe, try the channel selector here. On this? Yeah, that's the tuning knob to bring in the stations. The channel selector, they call it turning. Okay.

22:27It falls off pretty easy, doesn't it? Sure does. Here it is. Thanks. They left out the spring clip in here. It should have been put back in because that's what holded the knob, secured to the shaft. I thought it would happen on radio sets. Yeah, sometimes they're a little stubborn to put back in, but a good repair man never leave it out. Yeah. Something else here. Trying to sit around the back again. I'll give it a go. Thanks, Ben. See here? See how this chassis is in the cabinet now? Sure is. Wasn't that way when we got it from the K-Halbert dealer? Any more than the channel selector was faulty. I can perfect shape from the guy. Look at the size of that chassis. It's pretty heavy. Yeah, it is. Originally, there were four screws used to hold the chassis in the wood cabinet. Chains he's repair out, but only put one back in. One screw to hold that heavy chassis. It's a pretty sloppy job, all right. You know what they'd probably tell you if you asked them about this? There only requires one screw. That's it. The bad repairman can always improve one factory standards, usually for his own convenience. Certainly, it doesn't improve the product. Yeah. Looks like we got what we were at. Looks like we got an upjo.

23:28I do. Let's see what the city attorney thinks. We collected all the evidence in the case against Chinese video repairs. We met with Captain McCauley and took it up to the second floor of the city hall. We met with assistant city attorney Boy Taylor and showed him our findings. He issued a warrant for the arrest of Robert W. Cheney charging him with violation of Section 484 PC. One count, 11.30 a.m. Thursday, January 22nd. Ben and I drove out to make the arrest. Jack Kinnett went along with us. This is it. Cheney's video repair. You know, come on, Jack. There's Cheney behind the car. Yeah. Fuller. All right. How's the set working? All right. We did a good job on that one. Gave you a better break on the price and I thought we could. You know, police officers, you're under arrest. You're a kid in what floor? Patty theft. Come on, let's go. Patty theft. I don't understand. You're the fellows that fixed that set for up on Cresson Drive, aren't you? I tried to build this little hive, wasn't it?

24:29Oh, no. Wait a minute. If that's all that's bothering, let's talk it over. Come on, let's go. Look, I can fix that up with you guys. Just tell me how much you want to pay and we'll work out something. That seems to be the way you worked our repair deal right from the start. I mean, you didn't cancel us about it till now. Well, look, you know how it is in this business. If you don't charge some customers a little money, they don't think you did anything to their sets. You're going to try charging them for just the work you do. Can't we get together in this thing? Let's just forget the whole deal. You don't know me anything. Now, here. Here, I'll refund all your money. We'll call it square. And Aaron, just leave them money in the cash register. You didn't get your code. Can't prove anything anyway. We think we can. Just step around the counter this way. Look, Mr. You're not a cop, are you? No, I'm not. Well, and tell them, isn't that a fair deal? I'll give you back your money. Pray to us a little late for that, Cheney. If all this gets in the papers, I'll be ruined here. Run out of business. That's the way we got it figured. How many men you have working here for you? Four or why? This right here. You ever read this? Well, what is it?

25:30All of the things from the RTA here. Read article two, would you? Two? Yeah, that's right. I'll conduct myself and my business in an honest and straightforward manner, meriting and inspiring the confidence of my customers. Yeah, I know about this. You remember the RTA, Radio Technicians Association? Yeah, I am. Read article four, would you? I propose to charge just and fair price for all professional services rendered. And I'll read this article seven. I will engage only in fair and ethical practices recommended and approved by the Radio Technicians Association as being conducive to public confidence. Yeah, I read all this before. It's too bad you didn't remember it. The story you have just heard was true. Only the names were changed to protect the innocent. On April 15, trial was held in Superior Court Department 82, city and county of Los Angeles, state of California.

26:32In a moment, the results of that trial. And now here is our star, Jack Webb. Thank you friends. This week I'll be seeing you from page eight of Life magazine this week's Fatima had right across the top. It says in Fatima, the differences quality. When Fatima, the finest domestic and Turkish tobacco's give you extra mildness, a different better flavor in aroma compare Fatima with any other king's I say, or proof as I have what a difference Fatima quality makes. Next time by Fatima in the golden yellow package, best of all king size cigarettes. Ladies and gentlemen, in the few remaining moments, we'd like to take this opportunity to thank you once again for your many kind letters of encouragement that come in from week to week. And also we'd like to answer a few questions about our program which seem common to many of the letters that we receive from you. Many of you have inquired why at the end of the program in recounting the punishment

27:32of the criminal involved in the particular case, we generally refer to the sentence received as the term prescribed by law. Well, we use this reference for the following reason. In the state of California, the length of a convicted criminal's prison term is not set by the court, but by the state of dull authority. And most of the time, a criminal is merely found guilty by the court and then sentenced to the state penitentiary. After he serves a year in prison, the convict has a hearing before this state adult authority at which time his actual sentence is set. So you can see why we can't give you the actual sentence in many cases. Now, other questions come into many of your letters concern some of the authentic technical police terminology which comes up from time to time on Dragonat with the help of George Fenneman. We'd like to explain some of the more common ones for you if we may. First, you've heard us use the term of the letters a pb a pb.

28:34That's an all points bulletin. A communication dispatched to all divisions and law enforcement agencies throughout the state. And then we feel sure that you remember the term mama sheet. A mama sheet is the master information form on a criminal in a police department file. It contains his complete description, his habits, relatives, acquaintances, everything about him known to the police. Thank you, George. And thank you, ladies and gentlemen, for your very fine letters from time to time. If we may, we'll take this opportunity to explain a few more of our authentic police terminology. Thank you. Robert W. Cheney owner and operator of Cheney's video repairs was tried and convicted on several counts of violating section 484 PC petty theft. He was fine $200 and received the sentence as prescribed by law. Petty theft is punishable by imprisonment in the county jail for not more than six months.

29:38Ladies and gentlemen, Dragonat wishes to thank the Los Angeles Daily News and its feature writer Jack Kinet for their valuable assistance in preparing this case for presentation. It is our combined belief and knowledge that not all television repair service men are dishonest and unscrupulous in their practices. A great percentage of these technicians are forthright and conduct their business in strict compliance with the code of ethics. It is these men who were informed of the unfair conditions that exist in their trade were drive the dishonest and crooked from their profession.
