250 SPY CASES PROBED BY FB IN FISCAL YEAR

Hoover Claims 96 Per Cent Conviction in Trials During 1939.

WASHINGTON, July 24 (U. P.). —The Federal Bureau of :Investiga‘tion revealed today that during the 1939 fiscal year it was asked to investigate 1651 cases of suspected espionage—more than six times the number studied in 1938. In his annual report to Attorney General Murphy, FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover termed espionage a “growing menace,” and reported that last year the Bureau investigated 250 espionage cases. During the preceding five years, the Bureau investigated an average of only 35 cases annually, he said. The FBI force has been enlarged, Mr. Murphy revealed recently, to guard against espionage, particularly on the Pacific and Atlantic Coasts. Mr. Murphy has’ contended that naval bases and plane factories on the Pacific Coast are vulnerable to espionage and that East-

ern ports and arms factories need |

guarding. “The fiscal year 1939 was one of the most difficult in the history of the FBI—and in many respects the most successful from the standpoint of furthering scientific law enforcement,” Mr. Hoover reported. The Bureau participated in investigations that resulted in 5162 convictions—96 per cent of the cases tried, he said. Judges imposed 12 life sentences and term sentences totaling 16,948 years. Mr. Hoover said “investigation is pending toward the identification of the perpetrators” of the Federal Government’s only unsolved Kkidnapings, those of Charles Mattson, of Tacoma, Wash., Dec. 27, 1936, and Peter Levine, of New Rochelle, N. Y., on Feb. 24, 1938. He said 154 of the 156 kidnaping cases investi-

gated by the Bureau had been]

solved.
