.FBl VETERAN IS AUTHORITY
 ON FIREARMS

Washington (UP)-Captain Frank .Baughman (pronounce the 'sgh" like If" gets very little sleep and prac- tionally never takes a vacation.
 Like most of the men in the federal bureau of investigation. he tIrives on jobs that last at least 48 hours without 8 break. He has been in the bureau 25 years.
 Baughman is regarded by his associates in the FBI as the coun- trys foremost ballistics expert He has 1ectured in every state in the Union on firearms and has testified on ballistics matters at countless trials. His infallibility is now legend, and woe to the de- fense attorney who tries to prove that the bullet that killed the guy didn't come from the gun Baugh- man said it came from. Safest procedure is for the attorney to address the court as soon as he sees Baughman preparing to take the stand to the effect that i've concede that the bullet was fired from the gun and wish to change our plea from not guilty to self defense"
 Baughman, now head of the FBI's physics and chemistry lab oratory section, joined the bureau in 1919 at the request of J. Edgar Hoover, who then was special assistant to the attorney general. Hoover at that time was preparing the deportation cases of the anar- chists responsible for the notorious June" explosions. Baughman, who had gone to school with Hoover, was just in the process of leaving active army service as lieutenant and veteran in search of employment and the proposi- tion sounded pretty good. He spent his first few days on the job in uniform because he had no other clothes.
 After Hoover became an FBI man-and when he was later ap- pointed director Baughman was his constant companion. They were side by side on all kinds of cases until, in the early '30s, the FBI began to concentrate on train- ing men in the use of firearms. Baughman was given the job. He did it SO well and became so ex- pert in the use of guns and in the
