HOOVER BEGINS HIS 21ST YEAR

AS U.S, AGENT

Stresses Need for Fullest Co-operation of Federal And Local Officers.

By United Press WASHINGTON, July 26.—J. Edgar Hoover began his 21st year with |

the Department of Justice today by |

calling for mobilization of

| every

branch of the nation's law enforce- |

ment agencies 4,000,000

criminals,

to fight

He stressed a need for fullest co- | operation between the agents of the | Federal Bureau of Investigation and |

local officers, some of whom have |

been piqued at times by ‘lone wolf”

methods of the G-men. In an exclusive interview the United Press, Mr,

in the success already the campaigh against white traffic, kidnaping, bank and other crime, aid in an intensified assault on the underworld. “There is no place for jealousies in law enforcement in the United States,” the 42-year-old G-man chief said. “The public is not interested in who catches ing that he is caught.” Lauds Local Authorities

Mr. Hoover declared that only instances in which the FBI had refused to co-operate with local authorities have been those in

which he believed there was either |

or a pub-| within the |

inefficiency, officer

dishonesty, licity-seeking local agency. “Local police officers are neither | ‘flat feet’ nor ‘dicks’,” he said. “For | the most part, they are COUrAgEOUS | and loyal men trying to do an |

honorable job.” Mr. Hoover believes that ineffi- |

ciency within law enfor cement agencies is caused either by lack of | training or “the slime of politics.” | He said the National Police | Training Academy, established in | 1085. has served to “bridge the gulf” between local enforcement agencies and the G-Men.

Are Not Stuffed Shirts

“Thev find out stuffed shirts, and we learn a from their probiems,” he said. both make mistakes, and A discussions bring many solutions.” Mr. Hoover entered the Department of Justice in 1917 as a law clerk and in 1919 was made a special assistant to the Attorney General in charge of deportation cases. In 1921 he became assistant d tor of the FBI-—then known we he Investigative Division—and in 1924 was named director, He instituted a series of reforms eliminating sev- | eral nersons within criminal récords. | Mr. Hoover directs his G-Men | from a large, well-appointed office | in the huge Department of Justice | building. A vigorous worker, his body is conditioned by the same strict phyiscal training required of the G-Men. He is a bachelor and stoutly refuses to add G-Women to his force.

POULTRY SLUMP LAID TO SEVERE DROUGHT OF ‘36

Feed Shortage Responsible For Shortage of ‘Frys,’ Farm Agent Says.

Last summer's severe drought still is bringing sorrow to poultrymen and housewives, County Agricultural Agent Horace E, Abbott said today. Feed shortage, due to lack of rains last summer, has, in turn, resulted in an acute shortage of all types of poultry on the market, particularly young chicken frys, Mr. Abbott said. | Many poultry dealers in the | County are complaining that it is impossible to supply chicken frys in sufficient numbers to fill the consumer demand, while some dealers have been entirely unable to obtain any chickens for either broiling or frying purposes, he said.

Don't Grow Own Feed

Very few poultrymen grow the feed they use, Mr. Abbott explained. Last summer the feed growers produced very little due to the effects | of the drought. The price of feed then soared | with the decrease in supply to the point where many poultrymen could not profitably feed their chickens, he said. As a result the chicken crop has thus been reduced ma-

terially. He added that chicken hatcherjes alsa have been unable to move chicks: ih the market in normal quantities and thdt those that they couldn't move had to be sold as broilers and not as young frys. Mr. Abbott said one-third less are being raised on farms. Onehalf of those raised will be put on the market and not kept for raising pullets, he predicted. Because of this, he said the number of pullets going into laying houses this fall would be 40 per | cent less than normal. | However, he said the shortage and the drought last summer eventually will react favorably for the poultry- | men. Because the present grain Mop outlook is good, the price of | feed probably will come down next | year.

Price Boost Forecast

The supply of both chickens and eggs will be considerably less next year, promising a boost in prices for poultrymen, Ie said.

New Orleans’ Best-Known Laundryman Fetes Great

Social and Political Leaders Attend Banquet for His Son, Age 1.

EW ORLEANS, July 26.-Charley “Tung, a Chinese laundryman, entertained 500 of Louisiana's political and social great in New Orleans’ most expensive banquet hall 18st night. The odccasion was the

HE board was spread in the roof garden of the Roosevelt Hotel which had been taken over for the occasion. Finest crystal, gleaming silver, beautiful linen, champagne, the best food, Chinese

delicacies, Chinese wine, gentle= men in evening dress, and, on a dais at the head of the long banquet table, was the chubby, amiable figure of Tung, his 2-year-old son, Henrya, on one knee, Edson on the other. Mr. Ferguson arose and said: “How pon you ah kim yat chin vat ming vat suey. Sany yat chin tung thyn chin hom shi fou yinz. We gah do gee date fun ying gou goi yom o yit bou.” “Thank you, thank you,” Tung, nodding and beaming. Mr. Ferguson, almost collapsing from his exertion, said sotto voice to his neighbors: “How do you like my Chinese? I've been taking lessons from the consul for weeks. That means we all wish Charley and his kids long life and happiness.”

RS. TUNG who had stood M modestly beside her husband's chair retired with the children and the champagne corks began to pop. Four years ago she came from China to meet her unknown husband-to-be. Their marriage had been arranged through Tung's tong. She likes New Orleans and her English lessons are progressing nicely. Mr. Weiss made a speech, as did Mr. Parsons, City Commissioner Fred Earhart, who represented Mayor Robert S. Maestri, City Commissioner Frank R. Gomila, who represented Governor Richard W. Leche, and Chinese Consul Chai-hau Lee. “I think,’ said Mr. Lee, “that Mr. Tung should have a son every year. Then we could have a celebration every year.” At this point, there was a mighty salvo from exploding fire crackers in the street below, and pin wheels spun and rockets arched into the night sky. Tung, the thorough host, had arranged even this. n n ”

UNG came to New: Orleans 20 yvears ago from Canton, China, and opened a one-tub laundry. He gradually expanded

it into a large laundry with all modern equipment, This expanded into a many-branched business which is one of the eity's largest. In recent vears Tung has become locally famous for a war on a laundry combine which he terms a “trust.” He is wealthy, but, the sum total of his wealth is known only to him, He and his family occupy a modest apartment above the main laundry which is furnished in American fashion. During the Chinese-Japanese troubles of recent years, he purchased airplanes and made a free gift of them to the Chinese Government, Some reports said there were four, some said 40, Tung would never give the exact number,

Last night's entertainment cost approximately $4000,

Tung's benevoléences have endeared him to many. Three vears ago when a once prominent New Orleans actress died and there seemed some doubt as to funds for a suitable funeral, he bought a $2000 coffin for her,
