F. B. I. Can Recruit
And Train 500 Agents
In Four Months
Lawyers, Accountants
Wanted for Expansion
Under Defense Program
By j. A. FOX.
The new crop of G-men for the
national defense program will be
ready In about four months if Con
gress furnishes the funds request
ed by President Roosevelt to build
up the Ftaff, it was said today at
the Federal Bureau of Investiga
tion as a call went out for appli
cants for the prospective appoint
ments. which will approximate 500.
Lawyers and accountants are
wanted, and while recruits for legal
work will be accepted from the
current graduating classes of law
schools, the accountants must have
at least three years' experience.
Concurrently, plans were going
ahead for expanding the Immigra
tion and Naturalization Service,
which will be transferred from the
Labor Department to the Depart
ment of Justice on June 14. In the
message yesterday, in which the
President asked Congress for $4,358,
800 for the F. B. I., he requested also
$2,200,000 for the Immigration and
Naturalization force.
More Patrol Inspectors.
This will be sufficient to employ
several hundred additional immi
gration inspectors.
The Civil Service Commission held
an examination for the inspection
service several months ago and the
new appointees will come from the
registers established by that test.
The department also was expected
shortly—perhaps today—to designate
the particular official in Justice to
whom the service will report. It
already has been announced that
the Immigration and Naturalization
Service will be continued as an in
dividual unit of the Justice Depart
ment and Solicitor General Biddle
has been named to co-ordinate its
activities with the rest of those in
the department.
The official to whom the service
will report, it was said, will stand 1
in the same relation to Immigration
and Naturalization as the Assistant
Secretary of Labor to whom it has
previously reported.
One in 1,000 Accepted.
In explaining that about four
months would be required to get the
new G-men ready, it was said at
the office of Director J. Edgar Hoover
that from three weeks to a month
would be required to interview, in
vestigate and examine applicants,
to be followed by the regular three
month training period.
The P. B. I. has an age limit of
23 to 35 and experience has shown
that about one applicant out of
every 1,000 makes the grade. As
usual, the applicants will be han
dled through the 50 regional offices
of the bureau and it was not ex
pected that new recruiting ma
chinery would be required.
The F. B. I. force now numbers
915 men, of whom 150 already are
on national defense work. The de
partment had contemplated adding
100 agents before the emergency
arose and these will be recruited
along with the 500 additional under
present plans.
Final Lecture Tonight
Dr. Owen Lattimore of Johns
Hopkins University will give the
final in a series of lectures on the
Far East, tonight at 8:15 o’clock, at
George Washington University. The
series was sponsored by the uni
versity and the American Council,
Institute of Pacific Relations.
J NOW I EAT
BRAN AND
LOVE IT!
Enjoy the delicious flavor \
of this Double-Milled Bran '
See for yourself why thousands
have turned to this new form of
bran, made by National Biscuit
Company. It is the result of a
new process of double-milling
which further breaks down the
bran fiber making it less likely
to be irritating. Try this tasty,
gentle way to help relieve con
stipation caused by too little
bulk. If your constipation is not
helped in this simple manner,
consult a competent physician.

When a man wants to say that an ale
or beer Is particularly good, he may start
fancy words. But he's certain to end by agreeing that
Peter Ballandne said it best—100 years ago. Just three
words .. . PURITY, BODY, FLAVOR.
These are the qualities made famous by Ballantine’s Ale
and Beer—the qualities symbolized by the 3-ring trade*
mark—the qualities you can count on enjoying in every
glass of Ballantine’s Ale or Beer ^ou drink today!... On
draught ... in bottles and cans (12 oz. and full quart).
