Stefan Praises FBI
In Protesting Plan
For Layoff Of 500

A glowing tribute to the work of
the Federal Bureau of 1nveStiga-
ton was presented to the House by
Representative Stefan, Republican,
of Nebraska, as he and others pro-
tested against Budget Bureau pro-
posal for dropping 400 FBI field
agents and 200 field clerical assist
ants.
The necessary funds, amounting
to some $2,729, 900, were restored to
the supply bill for the Justice De-
partment by the House Appropria-
tions Committee and the House
has given its tentative approval.
Final action on the bill, which pro-
vides for several other departments,
is scheduled for Monday.
While the Budget Bureau action
was based on Germany being
knocked out of the war" Mr. Stefan
contended the monet " saving
would be false economy" and
short sighted"
Cited Increase in Cases.
He said it had been definitely es-
tablished that there is an increase
in the number of cases being re-
ferred to the FBI and that no de-
crease was expected during the fis-
cal year beginning July l. He also
reported that because sufficient
number of field agents is not now
available the FBI has $4,000 inves-
tigational matters which are in a
delinquent status.
The accomplishments of the FBI
in the prewar years are we'll known
to the American public" he said
1T promptly stamped out the men
ace of kidnapping which threatened
so many homes. Following passage
of legislation by Congress giving
the FBI investigational jurisdiction
over bank robberies, such crimes
were reduced from 600 in 1882 to %
in 1943. Extortion and similar
crimes were promptly solved by FBI
agents.

curity matters. Working in close
cooperation with military and naval
intelligence, the FBI has performed
/ its work in a manner which has
met with appreciation.
Espionage has been kept under
control and scores of enemy spies
have been sent to prison. Not one
single act of emy-inspired sabo-
tage has occurred during the pres
ent war
THE work of the FBI in the war
effort has been such that it has
been characterized by the President
as closely akin to the responsibilities
and work of the armed services"
The files of the agency, which
now contain 100,000,000 sets of fin
gerprints, will be of increasing value
to law enforcement agencies in the
postwar period, he said

o.-What became of Simon of
cyrene, who was forced to help
our Lord carry the cross7 Also,
where in the Gospels do we read
explicitly that Our Lord fell three
times on His way to Calvary?
A.-According to the Christian
writers, Simon of Cyrene en-
braeed the Faith and preached
the Gospel in Spain, with his
sons, Rufus and Alexander. Ac-
cording to some. he died in Je-
rusalem; according to others, he
died a martyr in Bosra, Arabia,
where he was Bishop. The Cos
pels do not say explicitly that Our
Lord fell three times. Tradition
tells us that Christ fell three
times; once in the lower part of
the city. again at the gate. and
finally at the top of the Mount.
