Reports are made daily of Lh(‘n, and intimidation of trap watch men. The latest reports claim pirates are shooting rifies over the of watchmen and driving them from the traps which are then| brailed by the intruders. Two traps of the Naket Pack- ing Corporation, near Hidden In- let, were brailed and another trap, owned by the Alaska Pacific Salmon Company, at Gravina Island, was robbed. ight Underwood ‘& Underwoad) traps were wrecked.

This is the first of a series of three ar- ticles deccribing the Justice Department’s division of in- vestigation. are 1 Ch By ALEXANDER R.

Training To Meet Gangsters ‘The bullets raining on targets at hearby Fort Meade are propelled from guns similar to gangdom's own “rubbing out” weapons and the men wielding the guns are ‘federals.” Not so long ago the federal agents engaged in tracking down rome of the most desperate crimi- hals were sparsely equipped with pistols and a few rifles. Now they are being rapidly supplied with machine guns, high powered rifles and shotguns while instructors are teaching them to handle these weapons expertly. At Fort Meade and other army rifle ranges throughout the coun- try, target practice and sharpshoot- ing drill has been going on quietly for several months. An Army of 600 When the full strength of the division of investigation is mus- tered this summer it is expected some 600 agents will be in the well- drilled army fighting kidnapers, bank robbers and roving outlaws of all types. They will be assisted in their elean-up by 17 new federal laws with jagged teeth. " 'While Department of Justice of- ficials were disappointed in the failure of Congress to provide an ng clcanup.

The educational qualitications ol the agents — some of them are gifted linguis! nd about 80 per of im igators have had accounting—have prompted some critics to call them “high-brows,” “campus detectives” and “boy scouts.” Must Have “Hprse Sense” But Hoover cites their record of 95 per cent convictions in court, not to mention the Dillinger coup, and the crushing of several kid- naping rings and racketeering gangs, as justification for the high requirements of personnel. One of his prime requisites is that an investigator have the knowledge and experience to gather evidence that will “stick” when an offender is brought to trial. The dynamic director's defini- tion of an ideal agent is an ‘“oper- ator who combines intelligence and experience with courage, loyalty and horse sense.” The force includes a number of former chiefs of detective bureaus, chiefs of police, Texas rangers, sheriffs, state troopers and plain detectives. Only Young Men Engaged An applicant for service as a “G-men” must be between 25 and 35 years of age; personnel records of the department show that the average age of an investigator is slightly over 35. While the division has no air- planes there are six agents who can pilot a plane and one investi- gator has been a parachute jump- er. . Others have been teachers in colleges and high schools, truck drivers, newspaper reporters, bank clerks, professional baseball play- ers, foothall stars and expert boxers. ————— SUMMER SILVER TEA The Martha Society will give a Silver Tea at the home of Mrs. Ray G.
