G-MAN'S JOB NEVER DONE, HOOVER SAYS

Arrest of 4 Public Enemies Just Part of Work, Chief Claims. Tki la tba aceead of two artlclca 4aerlhlat tko worklaga of Uo Federal *•' Inveatlgatloa and the man Wko anaket It raa . . . J. Edfar Hooter. BY RUSSELL TURNER (Copyright. 10*6. by United Prea*) WASHINGTON, May 15.—“ The Job is never done." That phrase, motto of J. Edgar Hoover, aptly sums up the outlook of the number one G-man toward hla task of putting criminals behind prison bars. And In that attitude, may be found the principal reason for the signal success of the Federal Bureau of Investigation. With the spectacular captures of the four desperadoes In 11 days Mr. Hoover was asked if the Job was nearly done. With a wave of his hand he replied: "The Job is never done." Crooked Politicians Next Already he is launching a campaign to drag the underworld out from under the protective wing of crooked politicians. The bold campaign is typical of Mr. Hoover and his interest in his work. Mr. Hoover lives with his Job. He never is out of touch with his office for long. Whether he is at home, watching a prize fight, touring the country, or fishing in Florida waters. He le the focal point of all FBI activity. Thus in the recent spectacular arrests of Karpis, Campbell, Mahan and Robinson, Mr. Hoover knew they would be apprehended hours before the arrests were made. In the cases of Karpis and Campbell this luiormation enabled him to personally participate in the final capture. But whether in the actual capture or in the investigation leading up to it, all the activities of the bureau centers around its chief. Shifts Men Often Mr. Hoover fosters this idea because he wants to keep secret the identities of the men who are working for him. As soon as the public learns the identity of a G-Man, Mr. Hoover says, that man loses his greatest asset as an investigator. In this connection no Department of Justice agent In the field is permitted to make a statement to the press. News of the capture of Mahan in San Francisco was announced by Mr. Hoover in Washington. He cites this same theory as the reason for never allowing a G-Man to remain in one city for long. Mr. Hoover’s life has been his job ever since he assumed directorship of the bureau in 1924. The FBI, at that time, was a comparatively unimportant unit of the Federal government. As its name implies, it was purely an investigative unit; its agents had no authority to arrest, were not author-

ized to carry weapons, and were powerless to act. Aided by Lindbergh Crime The bureau remained for many years. All the time, however, the youthful director—he was only 29 when he took over the directorship —was working toward his goal of a well-organized, powerful and efficient law-enforcement agency with full power to make arrests and shoot to kill if necessary. What really made the goal possible was the Lindbergh kidnaping. Enactment of the Lindbergh kidnaping law, making kidnaping a Federal offense, followed. The goal became a reality in 1934, with the assistance of Attorney General Homer S. Cummings, Assistant Attorney General Joseph B. Keenan, and a public opinion outraged by the wave of kidnaping, racketeering and general crime which swept the country. Put Teeth in FBI Mr. Cummings recommended a series of 12 anti-crime bills to Congress giving the FBI the power of arrest, authorizing FBI agents to carry weapons, and greatly broadening the list of crimes which were considered Federal in nature. During the closing rush of the 1934 Congress the bills all were enacted. The bills put “teeth" in the FBI. Evidence that the bureau has used them well is the record it has made.
