When he is not directing opera tions against spies, murders, kid napers, or any of a multitude of crimes that fall under FBI juris diction, Hoover relaxes in his gar den. Said Hoover: "if a man is to maintain his balance and proper perspective in life, it is essential that he reserve a few hours each week to pursue a hobby, to read good books, to enjoy the company of family and friends, and to commune with God." The FBI under Hoover has come a long way since it was an ob scure bureau in the Justice De partment with a few hundred agents. Now its network stretches from Alaska to Puerto Rico, and more than 6,000 men carry the badge of a special agent of the FBI. But Hoover is not interested in extending his agency's power. There are very definite limitations on the FBI's authority, Hoover said, and "1 consider all of them to be most essential." Hoover gives credit to President Franklin D. Roosevelt for the pres ent status of the FBI. it was Roosevelt who made Ihe mosl significant addition to FBI jurisdiction, Hoover said. In 1939, he named the FBI the civilian in vestigative agency primarily re sponsible for safeguarding Ameri ca's internal security.

Mon., Moy 6, 1963 Western Solons Meet Roadblock In Effort To Change Land Policy WASHINGTON (UPI) West ern senators today ran into a new roadblock in their efforts to change laws under which 477 million acres of public lands are admin istered. Interior Department officials, headed by Assistant Secretary John A. Carver Jr., appeared be fore the Senate public lands sub committee to oppose bill calling for the creation of a public lands appeal board. The legislation, introduced by Sen. Ernest Grucning, D-Alaska, would create a board to review decisions dealing with use of the public lands for homestcading, grazing, mining and other pur poses. Gruening said it would hlcp homesteaders and others to cope with the "bureaucratic jungle" of the Interior Department. But Carver protested that the bill would take away some of the interior secretary's power to ad minister the public land laws and create even greater delays in handling applications for public lands. Admitting that appeals under the current system sometimes had been handled with "bureaucratic callousness, superficiality and lark of imagination," Carver said he was taking steps to correct abus es. Gruening's bill, he said, would not solve basic problems and would "tend to thwart or defeat such administrative reforms." Westerners on the Interior Com mittee, all cosponsors of Gruen inc's bill, said thcv were not com mitted to its exact provisions. But ! they said they saw it as a start- j ing place to provide for appeals , from any arbitrary decisions i made by interior officials.

Bible said the committee staff had tried to get the information but that the reports had come "three min utes before we came into the hearing." The Gruening bill would create a three-member board of land ap peals within the office of the sec retary of the interior. Appeals from decisions by the Bureau of Land Management or the Geological Survey could be made to the sec retary and decided by a majority vote of the hoard. The bill also would allow for a hearing to be held at a location "convenient" to the appellant. Appeals from decisions of the board could be taken to a U. S. Circuit Court of Appeals. Famed Bearded Actor Succumbs ALBANY, N.Y. (UPI) - Monty Woolley, the bearded actor famed as "The Man Who Came to Din ner," died today in Albany Medi cal Center Hospital. He was 74. Woolley had been on the critical list since April 6 with a heart ailment. He was moved to the medical center from Saratoga Hos pital about 30 miles orth of here. He had lived in Saratoga Springs, N.Y. for the past few years. Born Edgnr Montillion Woolley, in New York Cily, he taught for 12 years at his alma mater, Yale, before heading lo Broadway. Because of his chin foliage, he was nicknamed "The Beard." His most famous role was as Sheridan Whiteside in "The Man Who Came To Dinner." He originated the role on Broadway and later portrayed Whiteside in the movie version of the play. It was a role Woolley perpetuat ed for years to the delight of movie, radio and television au diencesthat of a white-bearded patriarch, with fierce blue eyes, at limes clenching a cigarette holder between his teeth. Woolley built his reputation as an irascible curmudgeon on the stage and screen. But he insisted he actually was "mild-mannered and easy lo gel along with." That was in 19."5, when he came to Hollywood to play Omar Ihe lent maker in "Kismet," his last major venture in the movies before retiring to New York. Woolley, born Aug. 17, 1888, en joyed a long success as a dis tinguished actor on stage and screen in spite of, or perhaps he cause of, his long and unusual beard. "The .Beard," first appeared in chin foliage in the Broadway hit "On Your Toes." in 1929. From then on, despite pleas of somo film producers, he refused to shave off the magnificent beard and wore it in such films as "The Man Who Came to Dinner," in which he repeated his 1939 slage role that brought him his greatest success. The part was one of a self-centered, booming voiced ego centric who resembled in part a famed theatrical critic and per sonality of the day, Alexander Woollcott.
