Wilmington Star News that
''crooks are not clever-most of
them rely on force to accomplish
their misdeeds."
He said criminals try to make
up for their lack of mentality by
assuming an air Of superficial
cleverness."
Hoover, once a choir boy. in the
Lutheran church, took over as di-
rector of the FBI in 1924. Credit
ed with solving the Lindbergh
KIDNAPPING case, he has been hon
ored dozens of times with medals
and honorary degrees.
In 1885 he organized the FB1
National Police Academy, in
which hand-picked representatives
Of law enforcement agencies were
given the training required Of his
"G-men'' and then sent to preach
the lessons to their fellow officers.
81 have known of a number OF
criminals who considered them
selves clever, and relatively
speaking, some have been more
clever than their fellow criminals
and many of their victims.
"But in general, few criminals
are so clever that efficient law
enforcement techniques, augment
ed by the cooperation of the gen
eral public and unhampered by
political influence, cannot eventu-
ally bring them to Justice"
In explaining. Hoover pointed
out that, "cleverness, OF course,
implies quickness Of mind, skill
and dexterity." He admitted that
"a very few criminals possess
these characteristics although
they are in the minority.
"To my mind, wisdom is the
main quality that. is lacking in
those who choose crime as a ca
reer.
s.Even those who are not parti-
cularly we'll equipped mentally
must know that the rewards are
not worth the sacrifices. They
must realize that they. cannot
win"

Customers Beat A Path To Spinhirny's
Restaurant To Eat His Better Frou Leus
BY ROSETTE
NEA Staff Correspondent


PARIs-Roger spinhirny leaEed
to international fame on frog legs.
Spinhirny had worked hard to
rise from kitchen boy to maitre
d'hotel. Finally he saved enough
money to open a Left Bank res
taurant of his own.
Tucked away on a side street
that makes it difficult even for
Parisians to find, Spinhirny's "La
tables and a small marble-top
s~elf-service bar. The menu is writ
ten in chalk on a blackboard.
Cooking utensils T archaic and
the stove is coal fired.
But night after night, hundreds
Of Frenchmen and tourists line ur
for a chance to eat Spinhlrny'f
frog legs.
Spinhirny became a frog legs
specialist almost by accident. The
night he opened his restaurant he
found he had only enough left
from his savings to buy frogs for
his first menu. They were the
cheapest item he could find in
Paris markets that night.
He sprinkled the frog legs with
salt, tossed them into a frying pan
where garlic cloves had silnmered
in butter. They tasted so good the
customers have been coming back
for seconds ever since.
In postwar Paris, he has man
aged to keep his prices moderate.
The house specially costs only
$3.50, a full meal with wine and
coffee around 81.

The man who makes the dough
nuts" for betatrons at the Univer-
sity of Illinois is retiring Sept. ]
after 22 years here and so years
in the pottery business, but he
plans to stick around two days a
week for a while to turn out the
ceramic creations needed by the
physicists.
He is William Benton McDevitt,
potter and storeroom manager for
the ceramic engineering depart
ment, who first learned the pottery
business back in 1897 at the West
End Pottery, East Liverpool, Ohio.
After IL years of making table
ware for that concern and others
in East Liverpool, M C d Dewitt
switched to the making Of sanitary
ware bathroom fixtures, etc. in
Warrington, w. Va, for a year,
and in Tiffn, Ohio, for Is years,
coming to the U. Of |. in 1926 as
assistant to the potter. He has
been potter since 1882.
When Prof. Donald w. Kerst in
vented the betatron back in 1910,
the hollow tube in which electrons
are accelerated was made Of glass
sealed with wax to create a vac
uum.
The glass tubes of the early
betatrons were not too successful,
however, because of leaks, and at
the request of the physics depart
ment Mr.. Dewitt developed a "cer-
amic tube for the betatron," which
he nicknamed the "doughnut."
He's been making doughnuts
ever since, little ones for the A.

ed during the war, and larger ones

MOST UNIONS

Washington LPA)-If the pre-
sent trend continues the Natl
Labor Relations Board under the
Taft-Hartley law will probably find
itself ignored by all but a tiny
handful of unions and employers.
First major indications that the
NLRB would be by-passed by or
ganized labor came when the AFL
announced that its affiliates would
probably not comply with the re-
quirement that all union officers
must file sworn affidavits that
they are not members Of the Com
munist Party or sympathizers. The
United Steel Workers-CIO set the
pattern for the rest Of the CIO
when it disclosed that it would by
pass the NLRB for the same rea-
sons.
The most extreme position, how
ever, was taken by the Int'l Typo
graphical Union-AFL which ann
ounced, at does not appear at this
time that we will want any col
lective bargaining agreements un-
der the new law" This was clearly
taken to mean that if an employer
attempted to modify any of the
TITUS traditional union shop con-
ditions he would simply find him
self without employees, and typos
in practically every city in the
country are impossible to obtain
except thru the union.
In addition to the Steelworkers,
other CIO unions that have already
determined to ignore the NLRB in
clude the Electrical Workers, Of
fee Workers and Furniture Work
ers.
AFL seamen on both east and
west coasts announced thru the
Seafarers Int'l Union-AFL that
they will consider as a lockout
any attempt by any persons to use
the Taft Hartley bill to the detri-
ment of our unions" In Milwaukee,

clared that it was considering the
possibility Of dropping all no
strike clauses from contracts be-
cause the Taft-Hartley law would

In addition to the standard
model doughnut, he turns out ex-
perimental jobs for DR.. Kerst, DR.,

and the other physicists, some with
more openings that the usual two
one for the electrons to get in
and one for the air to get out in
creating the necessary vacuum.
At present, McDevitt is work
ing on construction Of a doughnut
made in sections for the pilot
model of the huge 800 -million-vo
betatron which is still in the plan
ming stage. Doughnut for the big
betatron will be about eight feet in
diameter, and the pilot model,
though smaller, is being built in
the same manner, including the
casting Of the doughnut in sections
rather than in one piece. He in
tends to continue work on this
after official retirement.
The U. of |. is the only spot in
the world where such ceramic
doughnuts are made. General Elec-
trio, which also make betatrons,
uses glass tubes.
The pottery section Of the Ger
amics building also turns out cru
cibles and other objects for various
U. Of |. departments, in addition to
making the molds and supervising
the work of ceramic engineering
students who make vases, lamps,
ash trays, ETC., in class projects.
Mr.. and Mrs. McDevitt, who live
at SOB South Race street, have

Ohio; Mrs. Thelma Halleck, Bowl
ing Green, Ohio, and Mrs. Mildred

In hungry Japan, food is a top
