investigation Offices in Washing
ton. New York was calling
Square jawed J. Edgar HOO
Yer, director. answered.
He listened intently as United
States Attorney George 2. Medalie
outlined a grave situation. Raid
after raid had been planned by the
federal narcotic bureau.
Raid after raid had failed to
get evidence. suspects. There was
leak in the narcotic bureau.
Major j. A. Manning, chief of the
bureau wanted aid in tracing it.
Would the bureau of investigation
help?
Mr.. HoOver'S answer was a terse
affirmative.
The case was not ordinary. 1t
mattered much that the drug ring
was operating unchecked; it mat
tered more that there was a trait
tor in the service of the govern
ment.
The bureau of investigation is
not connected directly with the
narcotic bureau, nor with any of
the other secret federal organiza%
tons; the secret service, the pro-
hibltion and customs services, and
the intelligence units of the army
and navy.
Nevertheless, Mr.. Hoover's pride
of service was stung by the infor-
nation that any federal operative
would be false to the ideals of
loyalty.
XXTITHIN ten minutes Mr..
w Hoover had got in touch
with his bureaus office in New
York, and Special Agent J-37 and
squad Of picked men had swung
into action.
First, J-37 checked, with Major
Manning, the names of agents
who had had previous knowledge
of the futile raids. Two names
REQUIRED in each case. Major
Manning had kept these men
from advance knowledge of an
other big raid, there was no tip
off, and $1,000 in narcotics was
seized.
One agent operated under the
name of James Arnold. Earlier
in his life he had been associated
with a drug addict. He was reti-
cent and uncommunicative. His
service record was perfect.
The other agent was Richard
Nash, IS, handsome and home
loving. He occasionally played
dice and took drink. He made
friends quickly. His record was
perfect.
Major Manning was unwilling to
believe either one dishonest. Yet
clrcumstantial evidence said that
one was a traitor.
AS Major Manning's prelim-
mary investigation had progressed,
a narcotic case witness told Me-
dale that Nash had offered to
warn the dope ring of raids for a
fee Of $4,000. Then he got an
other report. Arnold had been
asked to take $1,000 and not
identify one Pete illinois in an
othe case.
These conflicting reports were
laid before Special Agent J-37.
His investigation brought another
bit of information-that Arnold
was playing a deeper game than
Major Manning knew. He sought
out Arnold.
II Il
r WAS in a tough spot" Arnold
l. told J.-37. 4 was going to tell
Major Manning about the sit
uation this afternoon. It's true
I've been offered money in the
illinois case. What had I better
do?"
Just go through with it." said

You see" Arnold explained, Il

100000 LABOR
ARMY To LIVE
!. IN TENTS

President Roosevelt today signed
his reforestation bill, designed to
give 250,0O0 unemployed men
work in the national forests.
Senator Walsh CD of MaSsa-
chusetts and Representative Ram
speck CD of Georgia, who di-
rected the bill through Congress,
and Ovid Butler and G. H. Colling-
wood, executive secretary and
forester, respectively, Of the Ameri-
can Forestry Association, wit
messed the signing.
Governmental machinery was
being assembled today for employ
ing the men.
Structure Set Up
The skeletonized structure of
the plan was complete, but details
remained to be worked out. The
Secretaries Of Agriculture. War,
Labor and Interior labored in an
effort to put the scheme in opera
ton within fortnight. When
complete, the program will be:
Each State will be given a quota
on the basis of the number of its
unemployed. The Labor Depart
ment will then enroll up to these
quotas. welfare agencies will be
used to a large extent in enrol
ment.
Army Post Used
After enrolment, the War De-
partment will take over the per
sonnel. Workers will be trans
ported to Army posts temporarily.
This will be handled by command
ers of the nine Army corps areas.
At the Army post concentrations,
the men will be outfitted for their
work and examined physically.
When all this has been COM
pleted, the Forest Service of the
Agriculture Department, under
r. Y. Stuart, will take command.
There will be plenty of work
for the men to do, Stuart said.
He has recommended that they
be outfitted with heavy blue
denim shirts, vool slacks or
trousers, and heavy, comfortable
shoes.
100 in Each Camp
Out in the field, they will
move in camps of about 100 men
each. living in tents. Stuart, who
is chief of the Forest Service,
explained that the same living
conditions will obtain for the new
men as for those regularly en-
ployed by the service.
An indication Of the variety of
tasks to which the men will be
assigned was gained from study
of the routine work of the Forest
Service, operating with a force of
about 5000 men normally, over
the national forests, totaling 16l,.
100000 acres of land.
