FBI Men Are Demanded Now For Chiefs of Police; Many Requests Filled by Hoover
By Jack Stinnett

WASHTNGTON-When Mayor Marvin Kline of Minneapolis ap pealed to J. Edgar Hoover, dir ector of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, to find an FBI man for a police chief, Kline was join ing the parade that is making the FBI one of the most unusual em ployment bureaus in the land.
 When Hoover informed Kline that he had such a man in his own front yard, Hoover was full filling his little-known function as No. 1 placement man for chiefs of police in the United States.
 FBI National Police Academy graduates and men from the FBI TO Is now are chiefs of police in 82 cities.
 After explaining 10 Mayor Klne that all FBI agents worthy of conducting the Minneapolis police department were needed n national defense, Hoover told the Mayor of Edward B. Hansen, 2 veteran of the Du uth police force who no. only had worked himself up 10 chief in Duluth, but had also acquitted himself with honors at the FBTs West Point of law enforcement"
 Mayor Kline grabbed his man. 1 Daily Routine
 Ths has been going on for months. There isn't a day passes that the FBI director doesn't have from one to six requests for recommendation for police chief. There isn't a day that he d1 -sn't answer these requests, generally suggesting some man :" no graduated from the police s2ademy. Out of nearly 600 grad uates of the NPA, 78 now are chief of police and 12 are assist ait chiefs.
 h Kansas City there is 6-foot-3 L. B. Reed, who has been re ferred to in inner circles as the best all-around FBI man the ser vice ever had. InTulsa. is Police Chief Ralph Colvin, the man who stopped that notorious western grangster. Wilbur Underhill; and who was in the saddle as agent n charge of Oklohama City when the "Machine-Gun Kelly Bailey-Bates gang was rounded up.
 Oklahoma City's chief is Frank Smith, quiet, unassum-

he began to use his fists and he
found three very efficient helpers.
Trees, walk and faces swan be-
fore Kluger's eyes as he became
the target of hOlliganisn, ia action.
A minion of the law rescued
Kluger from his assailants. Nal
roney and his friends we're prompt
ly hauled off to court. This was
the great test for Kruger. the
kosher butcher. And he came
forward to prove that he was no
ordinary mortal. The case against
the hooligans who attacked him
was solid and clear. But as the
court was about to pronounce SEN
tence, Kluger rose to confront the
judge with a touching appeal On
their behalf Think of it, the vic
tim rising in noble fashion to
plead for those who had sinned
and wronged him. Kluger said
this was a, democracy and a great
country to live in. He wanted
them to go free to that they would
realize that there was such a thing
as forgiveness. The papers ate it
up. They went to his home on the
East Side and interviewed his
wife. Her husband was like that
always forgiving, etc. said Mrs.
Kluger. Kluger was definitely a
hero. He had turned the other
cheek.
But this was only the first act
in a tragi-cOmedy. Kluger enjoy
ed many an celebrating moment
dreaming of the great good he had
done for his people. Several weeks
passed and his wounds healed. He
was better than new when he
found himself at Union SQUARE
again. There he was, back at the
scene of his martyrdOm for good
will. And believe it or not, there
was MalrOney again, too. NAL

BY SOL KAUFMAN

Some Jews should have
their heads examined. / mean
the turn-the-Other cheek, hit

contingent. They've been
sOftened up so much by Hit
Ter propaganda that. they feel
the only way to win friends
and influence anti-Semites is
to invite a second portion of
abuse and physical attack.
Take the case of the kosher
butcher, Kluger. One fine day
when God seemed to be in His
Heaven Kluger was strolling
through Union Square Park-you
know the place, where the lunatic
fringe gives voice to all it's frayed
edges. Union Square is a three
ring CAB circus knots of bedrag-
gled men exercising their vocal
cords about anything from spinach
to television. Most of the talk is
very timely-the latest headlines
are given new meaning and twists
by these park bench strategists.
From the way some of these fell
lows carry on about the war,
you'd think the battlefield was
bounded on east by Klein's dress
emporium and on the west by
Amalgamated Workers Bank.
AS he strOlled down the tree
shaded winding walk in Union
Square park, Kluger did not think
of it as battlefield at all. He
beamed and smiled with patriotic
pride as he watched democracy
in action all around m.....Sud-
denly he was attracted to-. one

Tobruk Still Stands
(New York Times)

(New York Times)
 The fact that the British lines around To- bruk remain substantially unchanged after more than two months of battle obscures the heroic re- sistance which has kept the Germans at bay. The siege is the longest of this war. Every other citadel which lay in the path of the Nazi Bitzkrieg has been overrun. Warsaw held out for three weeks The British took Narvk after six weeks but had to give it up. Italian grenadiers chung to the rock fortress of Cheren for weeks But Tobruk still stands, shining symbol of British doggedness
 Technically the town seems indefensible It is collection of flat-roofed buildings gathered around scoop in the Libyan shoreline. But dive-bombers, artlly tanks and hooded flame throwers in day and night attacks have failed to disodge its defenders. They only single division of Australians, rein forced by Indian troops. They fight through burn ing heat and bnding sandstorms. Their distiation plant is smashed and they water ratons. The harbor, their of supply, is graveyard of sunken ships. Yet they still have power to strike hard beyond their entrenchhientS.
 In two months of enforced delay the Nazis would have taken Tobruk if they could, for it Hanks the road to Egypt. To drive toward Suez without reducing the town would be to leave a time bomb buried behind them which might explode their whole system of communication The fighting there is bound to grow fiercer. For Tobruk has become of the key points in the Mediterranean.
