Mext vay, Hoover will complet thirty-years as Director
wf the tr. P. I. I'm sure there isn't another man in the top brac-
kets uf wur Peder-1 ser: ice, who hes any comparable length of ser-
vice.
President Sisenhower is the fifth Chief bkxecutive under
wiom he nes se ved as “Number One G-Man."
Hoover ;oes on and on, regardless of whether the Repub-
licans vr Democrats are in pwer. The reason: sheer skill and
efviciency!
The *BI is an outstanding success because Hoover has
set sucn high standards ‘or his men. ‘they must be intelligent,
tte
well-eJucated team players. without such cooperation, the Bureau
corld never get the results it does, For every spectacular epf-
sode, there are endless hours of checking small details and run-
ning duwn fruitless leads.
fnother thing that Yoover has d ne extremely well, is
b ilding up the Bureau's relations with tne public. FBI Arents
invearisbly are polite. #ven when the secrecy of their investi-
gations is essential, they are as cooperetive as circumstances

The result: Fublic Confidence. VThis, in turn, leads
to public cooperstion. “Many a vsluable tip against a wanted
criminel or subversive egent, hes been handed to the GwMen by
ordinary citizens.
~ Pi,ght now, Yoover is vrging citizens to help search for
Lie missing ransom notes. e nas issued a list, giving the serial
numvers of all the vanished noney.
Throush all tne years, Hoover has emphasized that the
FUT is NOT 6 secret police force, dut just wnat its name saya --
a Sureau of Investigation. Extreme Left-wing efforts to whip up
posentment by calling the F3I a "gestapo" have fallen flat, because
it is so ocbviorsiv untrue.
