likes 10 get around, Hoover,
still reasonably young, put the
FBI on the map and made the
pub ic -EBI-cnnSclouS through
his shrewd maneuvering of his
little force against crime, his in
domitability of purpose and the
sheer force of hls personality.
His title is director of the
FBI. which operates under the
department of justice. 1t is our
guess that his job is a religion
with Hoover, rather than a
career.
He does not get a large sal
airy. We are told that he has
turned down many a proposition
far better from a financial
standpoint. But he continues TO
devote himself heart and soul to
the FBI, which is most certainly
to the very great advantage of
the nation.
OVEN in the days when some
~ officials were critical of
Hoover's methods, they never
criticised his sincerity and now
that the dictatorship of the de-
partment has become one of the
biggest jobs in the government.
the critics are probably willing
10 admit that it is a good thing
Hoover stuck.
1t would be a difficult task to
find another man as good for his
particular job. Hoovers are born
NOT made-that is, John Ed
gar Hoovers.
When you tai TX to Hoover
you realize that he is not only
a magnificent officer of law en-
forcement. but that he is also a
great penologist and a humani-
tartan.
He does not believe in the ex-
cessiVe sentence for offenders.
He thinks the excessive sentence
tends to destroy hope in a man
and that is not right.
He does not like Alcatraz or
any prisons which represent I'M
due extremity in punishment.
He believes there is & chance of
regeneration for almost every
criminal under proper handling.
This man Hoover is one of our
great men of today.

Wealthy Patron Plays Big Part
In Preserving Art Of Man
BY BENJAMIN DE CASSERES

the bounty and patronage of
wealthy Pericles.
He gave TO attic art its splen-
dor, and II was he who raised
the Parthenon and other famous
structures. because of the free
working scope and substantial
help he gave to the sculptural
genius OF his day.
Another great art patron of
the ancient world was an Attn
enian- citizen. HerodeS AtticuS.
He lived in the second century
A. D.. and of him Gibbon tells
ono of his most fascinating
stories.
The grandfather of Herndes
found an immense treasure I'M
der his house. buried there by
his ruined ancestors. Herodes,
asking the Emperor NeFva what
he should do with it, the latter
replied. Use tor abuse it."
But Herodes Atticus spent the
treasure on beautifying and inn
proving A hens. He recon-
Structed and ornamented the
temples throughout Greece, built
theaters, encouraged must c.
painting and the arts and he
restored TO its ancient grandeur
the Odeum of Pericles.
Nerva. one of the most hui
name of Roman emperorS, and
Herodes AtticuS were combi-
nation that is seldom found on
earth. Their births occurred in
a beneficent moment in the life
of the gods.
COME time before Herodes
~ AtticuS. there lived a patron
of the arts in Rome whose name
was Gaius Maecenas. Immensely
wealthy, one of the founders,
with Augustus. of the Roman
Empire, Maecenas supported
and encouraged such world
famous poets as Horace and
Virgil.
1t is said Maecenas would
have none but artists, literary,
plastic or musical, in his house,
and although he often used his
famous writing friends to fur
Their his political ends. still IT
apparently did Horace and Virgil
particularly no harm. Also. tins
lavish Roman was the inventor
of a system of shorthand.

Success Of FBI, Now Battling
Sabo+eurs, Due TO Hoover
BY DAMON RUNYON

THE best March of Time we
have seen in quite a spell
deals with the FBI-the Fed
eTaf Bureau of Investigation
which now has a membership OF
nearly 1000 men and should
have 10000. This will come
eventually.
The growth of the FBI has
been almost painfully slow from
the beginning due to the APP
parent reluctance in some Off
cial quarters to recognize the
Importance of this department.
But it is coming into its own.
1t has passed its infancy. 1t has
grown out of the dime-novel
stage, out of the Oman movie
thriller class. 1t has become the
greatest establishment OF the
kind in the world.
Its purpose, as you know, is
law enforcement. 1t policies the
nation. 1t is non-political and
impartial 1t is made up OF
young men who are thoroughly
schooled in their business before
being sent to duty. 1t is an or
ganization of which the people
may well be proud.
There was a period when To-
cal officers were inclined to re-
sent the FRI.)when newspapers
and officials were sometimes
critical of the element of the
spectacular that occasionally
entered into the operations OF
the then comparatively small
bureau.
There is no denying that the
boys did put on a show now and
then and got lot of publicity.
But that was just a phase born
of the times. of wierd era OF
underworld activity such as the
country has never before ex-
perienced.
THIS phase has long since
L passed, but oddly enough it
served the dual purpose of
proving the value of the bureau
to the public and striking ter
ror to killers and kidnapers and
robbers. The end justified the
means.
Today the FBI is even more
efficient with less ostentation,
but we are inclined to doubt
that. without the phase we have
mentioned, it would be as well
known to the public or as highly
appreciated.
Now the F'BI is charged with
the most important duty yet
entrusted 10 il. which is inves-
tigative jurisdiction over es-
pionage. sabotage, violations of
the Neutrality Act and similar
matters related TO internal Sc
curity.
II has become a vital cog in
the scheme of national defense.
You do not hear as much about
il as in the days when the c.
men were making furious sorties
against the Dillingers and the
Machine Gun Kellys and other
desperadoes. but il is function
ing on the widest scale of any
department of the kind in the
history of the United States.

1t is very refreshing to read an

nearly 100 keels have been laid.
Peak deliveries will come in

quarter will furnish 100000 tons.
The last 200 will not be ready
until 1913.
Fighting ship construction
cannot be outlined in such de-
tail. but the bulk of the new
navy will not be ready until
1943.
We will get Jos new ships this
year and next; 140 in 1913; and
l25 after that. The aircraft ear
riers will come last. battleships
next, and early deliveries will be
restricted largely to destroyerS,
submarines and small vessels.

talk IS heard lately from our dip
lomats and officers in the armed

None is suggesting much more
than could be accomplished by
war. Navy men Just feel they
would rather fight their own
ships than give up any more TO
Britain. Diplomats think direct
involvement would shake up the
country and stop strikes.
