Hoover Takes Charge Of Bureau Reins
| And Starts FuIl-ScoIe HousecIeoninq

to agents. who were startled BY
the udden and unexpected purst
OF attention from Washington
Bureau records indicate thai
many agents dismissed thu
whole thing as passing furry
they were confident that il
they sat around long enough, il
would go away. and that If il
didn't, they could always writ,
their Senator or Representative
Other agents expressed delight
because they glimpsed the hope
of an organization Of which they
could be proud.
The slow. difficult Job of re.
organization was a two-prongeC
campaign. On one side was thu
fight to weed out the patronage
hacks. to enforce the new code
Of conduct and to weld the or.
ganization into an efficient
force. On the other side was thu
battle to convince members o.
Congress and political leaders o.
both parties that the Bureau wal
no longer a dumping ground fol-
patronage appointments.
There can be no understand.
ing of the modern FBI without
ian understanding of Mr.
Hoover's views on discipline. Hi.
code Of conduct became a way
of life for those who wished *
stay In the Bureau.
He was called a bureaucrat
who was unreasonable in his de.
mandS on the people who worked
in the Bureau. He forbade hi!
Iagents to drink whisky either
publicly or privately as long a.
the prohibition law was on tn,
books.
Neat and Discreet
] His men had to be neat IL
dress and discreet in their hab.
its. He regarded them as repre-.
sentatives Of the Bureau whether
they were at work or enjoyine
a social evening with friends
And even the clerks and stenog.
raphers and other Bureau EN-.
ployeS had to measure I'D Il
strict standards.
It took Mr.. Hoover roughly
three years to shake down the
Bureau Of Investigation and tC
perfect the basic organizat ior
which was to become renowned
for its efficiency. Through al
the formative years, Mr.. Hoover
maintained a close friendship
with Mr.. Stone, who remained
in the Department of Justice
for II months and then was
appointed to the Supreme Court
On January 2. 1892, Mr.. Stone
wrote Mr.. Hoover:
Il often look back to the days
when 1 first made your &C.
quaintance in the Department
OF Justice, and 1t is always q
comfort to me to see how CON-
ipletely you have confirmed my
judgment when I decided to
place you at the head of the
Bureau Of Investigation. The
Government can now take pride
in the Bureau instead of feel
ing obliged to apologize for it,
And so the wheel had turned

To those Of us who are con-

Federal law and State law-such

This. however. is not true.
Individual State law takes
precedence in plenty Of these

kept, possibly the record would
show them winning a majority.
It is an interesting common
tary inasmuch as most cases in

Sues Over Garbage
The facts involved were RI

a contract with local Veterans
Hospital to purchase edible
garbage suitable for livestock.
Some Of the garbage turned out
to be contaminated and the
farmer lost seven head of cattle.
He sued under State law, alleg-
ing negligence on the part of the
hospital.
The point that had to be
settled. however. was whether
South Dakota law superseded
the Federal statute under which
the contract had been negoti-
ated. Federal attorneys pointed
out that the contract stipulated
the garbage was offered "as Isl
and without recourse" and with
no guarantee on the part Of the
Government.
1t made no difference. The

Hearing Aid Adapted

Iabsorbed by the body while chew
ing than smoking.
Four Cincinnati researchers
estimate that more than two
thirds of the nicotine in cigarette
smoke is absorbed through the
membranes of the mouth.
The average amount of
tobacco chewed in tests, they
add. contained about 10 times
more tobacco than the standard
cigarette. And, the tobacco is
usually held In the mouth longer
than cigarette smoke is.
These heart researchers have
been working under a grant
from the Tobacco Industry Re-
search Committee Of New York
studying the effects of chewing
tobacco on the circulatory Sys-
tenn.
Some 81 million pounds of
chewing tobacco are used an

BY CHARLES G. BROOKS

The transistor hearing aid ha!
been adapted by a Baltimore
dentist and anesthesiologist t.
monitor the breathing Of un.
conscious patients on the operat-
ing table.
The device allows doctors tt
tell by ear the rate of respira-
ton rather than by watching
the slight rise and fall of a rub
Der breathing bag.
This was reported recently in
the Journal of the American
Medical Association by Sylvan M
Shane. DDS. and DR.. Harry
Ashman Of the department OF
unsatisfactory. Lutheran Hos
pital in Baltimore.
Applying the sounds OF
breathing is highly desirable
since it affords the most accu-
rate means of communication with
an unconscious patient" the
authors wrote. IF breath sounds
are not audible. the only other
means of second-to-second COM
munication is the slight rise and
fall of rubber breathing bag.
Since it is almost Impossible
to maintain continuously
focused stare at q movinl
breathing bag without eventua
self-hypnosis, the dependence
upon eyesight to determine
whether a patient is breathing
is. in many instances. fraught
with inefficiency and danger
Use MicrophOne
The new device, called q
"Breathophone" by the authors
consists Of a microphone from
a hearing aid which is inserted
in a cork and recommended to the
hearing aid. The cork is inserted
into a tube and the tube placed
in the breathing circuit Of the
anestheSia machine.
Each breath causes the all
within the tube to move and
strike the microphone. The
transistor hearing-aid unit am
plifies the sound.
1.-THE slightest breath is am
plifled so efficiently that, even
with the most depressed pattern
Of respiration, the amplifier can
be operated at less than full
volume" the report says.
The earphone need not be
worn In the ear. In a test DR..
Shane and DR.. Ashman placed
it in a small open-mouth jar or
paper cup which acted as a sort
Of loud speaker. This enabled
the sounds to be heard by every
one in the operating room.
The device is attached to the
aneSthesia machine and has no
contact with the patient. Previ-
GUS attempts with throat micro
phones have proved somewhat
impractical, the authors say, for
surgery Of the neck and related
operations.
It may be that chewing tobac-
co causes more harmful effects
on the body than smoking. In
deed. there seems to be a strong
possibility that more nicotine is
