Matt amnio c of all-ruulu wart
In an exclusive interview with
United Press International, Hoov-
er looked back on a career a
head of the Federal Bureau of In-
vesication that spans an era
from beer barons to atomic spies,
Now 68, Hoover is little changed
'since May 10, 1924, when he took
over the Justice Department's old
Bureau of Investigation,
lie is a man dedicated to his
Job, and has done it well enough
Jo last through six administra
lions. He has been threatened by
the likes of gunman Alvin Karpis,
but he captured Karpis himself.
"I accepted Karpis' threat as
where he spent the weekend with
his family.
Kennedy praised the IAM and
the labor movement as represent
ing a powerful force for progress.
Both the labor movement and
the country in general have come
a long way since their beginnings,
he said, but there still is much
unfinished business to be solved
in the 1960s.
The President said lie was "as
tonished" to see how difficult it
was to get congressional approval
of needed programs such as as
sistance for education, mass tran
sit, and assistance for unemployed
youths.
He said the IAM and the labor
movement had every reason to be
proud. He urged those who "find
fault with the American labor
movement In the United States to
day" to look overseas where often
trade unions are controlled either
by Communists or by govern
ments. Hospital News

a personal challenge," Hoover I
said.
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.

Against Two Parolees
Show cause orders have been Is

rants issued for two men.
Earl von Akcmann was ordered
to appear and show cause why
his probation granted March 28,
should not be revoked and why he
should not be imprisoned in the
Oregon Slate Penitentiary for two
years.
Grounds are he has not complied
with rules of the stale Board of
Probation and Parole, in that he
has opened a checking account
against instructions of his parole
officer, that there are four not-sufficient-fund
checks outstanding
against him in the Suthcrlin-Rosc-burg
area, and he has absconded
from supervision.
Edgar Ralph was ordered to ap
pear and show cause whv his pro
bation of July 13 should not be
revoked and why he should not be
committed to the penitentiary for
one year. This is the result of an
order in a divorce action and his
alleged failure to make support
payments. He has absconded from
supervision, too, the order says.

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.

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.
