years as assistant director, and two years of experience in the prosecution of alien agitators following World War L To Hoover is given the credit of building the FBI into one of the most efficient and respected law enforcement agencies. With his G-men he was responsible during World War H for the prevention of sabotage, and is today charged with the

duty of investigating, in such instances as may be required, the loyalty of some two and a half million Federal employees as well as the enforcement of about 120 major Federal laws. John Edgar Hoover, one, of three children, was bom January 1, 1895, in Washington, D.C. His father was a government employee who became superintendent of engraving and printing in the United States Coast and Geodetic Survey. J. Edgar’s boyhood ambition was to be a minister, because the minister of his church where he sang as a boy soprano in the choir, had captured the boy’s heart with his fair play and good sportsmanship. He said, “If ministers were like Dr. MacLeod, I wanted to be one.” Later, at Washington’s Central High School where, although only 110 pounds in weight he rose to be captain of cadets and earned the nickname of “Speed.” But by the time of his graduation in 1913, he had changed his mind from becoming a minister to a legal career. He obtained a job as messenger in the Library of Congress, studied law at night and in 1916 acquired the LL.B, degree from George Washington University. He obtained his LL.M. degree in 1917 and he entered the employ of the Department of Justice as a file reviewer.

The Bureau of Investigation of the Department of Justice, as the FBI was originally called, had been established in 1908 and was mainly concerned before World War I with violations of neutrality, bankruptcy, and anti-trust laws and white slave traffic. During the war years its special agents investigated sabotage, espionage and subversive activities. In 1921 Hoover was made assistant director, and in 1924 he was appointed director with the assurance that there would be “no politics, no outside influence.” With this guarantee Hoover overhauled the Bureau, returning to the policy of employing lawyers and public accountants as special agents. Another of his early measures was to establish the central fingerprinting bureau. In 1935 he established the FBI Academy at Quantico, Virginia, which trains selected police officers from every State in the Union and many foreign countries in up-to-date meth-

ods. In September 1939, when President Roosevglt declared a national emergency in view of the war in Europe, the FBI was directed to co-ordinate all matters relating to espionage, sabotage, and violations of the neutrality regulations. A plant-protection survey was made and registration of aliens ordered, with the result that twenty-four hours after the Pearl Harbor attack, 1,771 enemy aliens were in custody. The number of FBI agents was increased from 600 to about 2,000. Postwar years were to put the FBI to new tests. Early in 1947 Hoover revealed that crime had increased 7.6 in 1946 to a tenyear peak. He ascribed this stats of affairs in some measure to a “gradual breakdown of the American home” and the fact that “juvenile delinquents of the war years are graduating from petty thieves to armed robbers.” LMarch, 1947, President Truman assigned the FBI what Time magazine has called its “toughest, most controversial assignment”—

to check the loyalty of some two and a half million Federal employees. Methods employed were not above criticism, as in the case of Judith Copion, when evidence of certain FBI agents was thrown out of court because it had been obtained by wire tapping, which had been against Federal law since 1934. In the issue of the New York Times of April 16, 1950, Hoover stated the Bureau’s official position in this controversial matter as follows: “Wire tapping is employed only in matters involving internal security or when human lives might be in jeopardy. Information secured as a result of wire tapping is not used in evidence, and is not divulged publicly by the FBI except under force of judicial compunction, over the objection of the Government.” He further pointed out that the FBI does not undertake investigations except at the specific request of responsible authorities, and has no power to prosecute.

FBI Director Hoover has been awarded many honorary degrees from universities all over the country. He has been a member of the board of the Boys’ Club of America since 1943 and is a mem-ber-at-large of the national council of the Boy Scouts of America, and a member of the advisory council of the Girl Scouts, as well as a member of many law enforcement bodies and patriotic organizations. He is a trustee of George Washington University and of the National Presbyterian Church in Washington. Until the death of his mother in 1938 Hoover made his home in the house in which he was born. He has remainedaa bachelor. Tennis, baseball, football, boxing and browsing for antiques, particularly bronzes, are his ’principal recreations. He is a Mason, Knight Templar and Shriner, and he lists no political affiliation. He has written but one book “Persons in Hiding (1938), but he has written forewords to several other books as well as numerous articles for newspapers and magazines. His most recent is “Hoover Answers Ten Questions on the F. 8.1. for the New York Times Magazine, April 16 this year.
