What About Meddling?

Recommendation by the Senate's Crime Committee that Investigating agencies of the federal government be consol- dated in a single bureau will bear careful study and consideration before being acted upon. The committee declared It had found general conviction that there has been a breakdown in our law enforcement agencies and courts" The Senate committees discoveries, surely, cannot have been based on comparison of law enforcement In 1887, say, With law enforcement in the late 1920's and early 1o30s. Does the Senate committee for get the prevailing bank robberies and kidnapings of those years?
 By all comparisons J. Edgar Hoover's Federal Bureau of Investigation agents rank as one of the most effective of law enforcement bodies In the world. When Congress gave Hoover's men the right to carry firearms and make arrests, encom- passing certain prevalent crimes under federal statutes, 1t started the G-Men orr on crime corrective campaign which more than justified the drastic Congress sional action The Dillingers, the Floyds, the Kellys and the Nelsons passed out of the picture along with mass killings, uuarter-million dollar ransomS and whole sale bank robbery
 There Is no reasonable doubt but that the credit can be given to the F. B, Of l. and It's young, trained and Well-equipped personnel. Politics has never played part in Hoovers organization. Political connections, when they arc sometimes brought to bear, usually turn out to be handicaps rather than aids, The agents are chosen from literally thousands of applicants Each agent must either be graduate lawyer or accountant Cor have other qualifying attributes) for 1t IS Tn these fields most of the F. B. of l. work lies. There Is no seniority system and men are promoted or denoted purely on merit.
 The G-Men are unique In this country, both in reputation and activity. And when the Senate proposes consolidation of this group with other government law enforcement agencies, namely, the Post office Department, the Narcotic Bureau, Treasury agents, the Customs Bureau and the Coast Guard, 1t would be well to look closely into the manner of consolidation If the high standards of the P. B. of l. are to be maintained and all other agencies brought to that level, 1t would be fine. If the proposal Is leveling off In the other direction, or an attempt at political ma neuvering of the G-Men, that's something else again.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1937-08-19
Platinurn

With alarge part of the worlds gold buried at Fort Knox, Kentucky, all ready to provide excitement for the archeolo- gists of the future who happen upon 1t in a wilderness, the world now turns it's attention to platinum. Italy, 1t seems, is going right after platinum in Ethiopia. The deposits at Judbo have been worked by primitive processes, producing max imum of 772 pounds year. A new com pany has been formed, which is install Ing modern machinery and building village for workers. It hopes to supply the needs of Italy and have a balance for export.
 On the heels of this news comes word from Alaska that the mounting produc- tion of platinum from an Alaskan village named for the metal may upset the worlds market next year. About four times as much of the precious metal is being mined in the vicinity of Platinum in 1887 as was brought out in 1884. We'd ding rings ought to be cheaper pretty soon, And dentures, And many other things.
