The spearhead of this nationwide defense,
of course, is the $500 Special Agents of the
FBI. But back of them are two other lines
of defense:
First are the 155,OOO state, county and
municipal peace officers who are modified
and ready for action. They are the graduates
of the Law Enforcement Mobilization Plan
for Defense which was launched several years
ago under the farsighted direction of MIR.
Hoover.
Second is the newly-organized force of
thousands of former soldiers and plain citi-
zens who, alert and eager, have been drafted
to serve as eyes and ears for the main defense
force.
The defense is not haphazard, as it was
in World War 1 today's reserve" agents are
