Copy 126 ¢ Farl ‘tudwirts surrtionm of NBC's W°RKS ND = Sunday, “sy 9, 1954 Tt ill be thirty years tomorrow that Attorney General Herlan 7 oO Hohe ‘ = y -y om a £ ae be aw £ — “ — fo mas - — eee Store, J: ter to become Chief Just t United States, put a young = has -_ _ USLLCe O11 Ue mo mam, named Jonn Ed-ar Hoover, into the fob of Director of the then ratner incenspicuous Federal Bureau of Investigition. In this thirty years there hee crown up an agency of this United States Government which is known around the world for its perfection in tracking of crime, criminals, spies, and subversives, and the young man (now still young at 59! h+s lived to hear Senator Pat McCarran of Nevada say in a Senate speech last Wednesday that John fdeear Hoover is csne of the greatest living Anericans and "an irreplseceable man in government if there ever was cone." Tn tre thirty years the world has learned to respect and depend on those young men who heve been taken into the fraternity of the FBI and trained to perfection. They have become known as the G-Men, the subject of beols, stories, plays and fabulous doings in the world of fiction, but as T have seen them at work snd have become acquainted with Mr. Hoover, I would say that no fiction can equal the thrill and the sure fire perfection of the agencys of the FBI. Hoover hinself is founded on the granite‘*rocks of a firm belief in God and of the Constitution of the United States. He is Americaniem in every breath, also a perfecticnist. He had a hard young life. It was no eineh for him to work his way into the old FFI, because he had to have a c.liere degree, and the wey he got one wae by earning $30 amonth ss a messenger and roing to night law school and efter his degree he tot into the Department of Justice.
