Dunning, 1011 Bank Bulldi FBI ON THE ALERT Quietly and without fanfare the greatest mobili- zation of law enforcement in the history of the United States is taking place 'tods,y under the leader- ship of John Edgar Hoover, Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, United States Department of Justice. In these days of international conflict, suspense, intrigue and Trojan-horse warfare when this country is engaged in a gigantic rearmament and national defense program, the important role which law enforcement must play in this program has not been forgotten. En masse, local, Territorial, Federal and FBI law enforcement officers with the FBI as the coordinating agency are waging an in- tensive warfare against the forces seeking to under- mine this vital program of national defense and internal security. The FBI law enforcement officers mobilization plan for national defense automatically recruits thej thousands of police officers which have always con- stituted the peacetime army of the land and which is now an active, vigilant, alert army safeguarding the internal security of our Nation. The FBI is the logical agency to coordinate the national defense work of the various state and local police. In 1924 at the instance of the International Association of Chiefs of Police an identification di- vision was established by the FBI to provide police officials throughout the country with one centralized depository for identification data. To date there have been more than 17,000,000 fingerprint cards plgedr b 465 fHes” Today this reservoir of identifi- cation data is the largest in the world and is being used daily by law enforcement agencies throughout the entire United States. Also the FBI on a nation- al cooperative basis has brought to the police, scien- tific methods of law enforcement as an essential factor in modern crime detection. The FBI techni- cal laboratory from the fiscal year 1935 through the fiscal year 1939 made a total of 24,029 separate ex- aminations. In connection with these examinations 161,964 specimens were actually received and handled by the Laboratory. Anticipating just such conditions as might exist today, Director Hoover established the FBI National Police Academy in 1935 in order to provide a pro- gram of training for local law enforcement officials. | The FBI law enforcement officers mubiuzauon‘ plan for national defense was launched through the| ; THE DAIL special agents in-charge of its 54 field division of- fices, including that at Juneau. Plans of action for coordinating all local, county and state law enforce- ment agencies in order that they might refer to the FBI all information affecting the nation’s internal security for coordination and evaluation have been developed, Thousands of complaints relating to national de- fense matters are being received daily by the vari- ous FBI field offices. For example, on one day as far back as May 1940 there were as many as 2,871 complaints received in connection with national de- fense and internal security matters alone. The War and Navy Departments have furnished the FBI with a priority list of hundreds of key fac- tories furnishing the Government with defense ma- terials. Special agents of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, who have received thorough and in- tensified training in this respect, have surveyed and studied these plants for the purpose of recommend- ing means to increase their physical protective facili- ties. The Federal Bureau of Investigation is not interested in the employer-employee relationships but only interested in the prevention of espionage and sabotage and to tighten up all along the line so that vital materials and information are not easily accessible to the foreign agent. It is contemplated that more than 12,000 such factories will ultimately receive such attention, In this time of national emergency as pro- claimed by the President, we find that the various ooperative functions of the FBI are paying . vast dividends in the combined cooperative efforts of all law enforcement officers in maintaining tife internal security of our nation. Back in Favor (Cleveland Plain Dealer) | After 20 long years of either being pushed around or ignored by the nation’s -top-flight story tellers, those more or less normal Americans who have been able to keep away from both the relief rolls and the nut houses have received a literary break. Prof. Joseph Warren Beach of the University of Minnesota has written a book about the best American fiction writers _from 1920 to 1940, and lo and behold he places John P. Marquand among the eight whom he considers the cream. It had got to the point where almost any Amer- ican reader who had a nickel he could call his own, and who did not express his affection for his wife by clouting her over the head regularly before break- fast, began to feel that he must be abnormal and that if he ever wanted to amount to anything as a| human being he would have to give up life's ameni- ties and start over as an Okie, a Key West smug-| gler or a Georgia hillbilly. But when a professor of literature finally be- comes so bold as to mention Marguand in the same breath with Dos Passos, Hemingway, Faulkner, Wolte, | Caldwell, Farrell and Steinbeck, thifigs are looking up for those Ameridans who refrain from vulgar speech in the presence of ladies, who are able to look on their sisters and brothers purely as sisters and brothers, and who have never been afflicted with pellagra. Marquand’s upper class New England| people are, to be sure, somewhat on the seamy side | spiritually, but you wouldn't mind havihg any one! of them drop in for an evening of bridge; and when | Marquand needs someone with whom to compare| them unfavorably he doesn't. go to the Communist party or a Misssissippi chain gang, for.recruits. We would not, of course, waht to-gét along with- out the other seven writers whom Prof. Beach holds in such high esteem, or at least not any of them but Faulkner. It is important to know how t.hel lower third live, and these contemporary writers have told us in works which at times approach the| classical. But there are things worth saying about | the upper two-thirds as well, and so it is a good omen that at least one writer who is exploring this | field is now recognized as among the best. One reason why Japan may be preparing to call quits in China is that she thinks she may need her army in Manchuria, where she has just signed a non-aggression pact with Stalin. Undoubtedly the worst feature of Rudolf Hess's flight to England was the trail of bum jokes it left in America.
