Fletcher Talks
On FBI Duties
“The FBI is a fact-finding or
ganization and confines its activi
ties that job alone,” F. A. Fletch
er, special agent in charge of the
Portland office of the Federal Bu
reau of Investigation, said yester
day in a talk before the law school
student body.
Speaking on the subject, "Op
portunity of Service in the FBI,”
Mr. Fletcher outlined the organi
zation of the bureau and the ser
vice it performs. First established
in 1908, the bureau adopted a pol
icy of no political connections in
1924, when J. Edgar Hoover be
came its head. Ten years later it
was given jurisdiction over a large
number of criminal violation in or
der that an organization would
exist without jurisdictional limita
tions.
The identification division of the
bureau has over 111,000,000 finger
prints, Mr. Fletcher noted, of
which 18,000,000 are of criminals.
These provide a record for the
prosecuting attorney as well as the
assurance to the criminal that his
past may come to life.
Another phase of FBI work
which Mr. Fletcher discussed was
the crime laboratory where men
apply science to criminology. “Sci
ence is sometimes needed to make
evidence left behind act as a speak
ing witness,” he said.
“The FBI believes the effective
ness of law enforcement depends
upon the respect of the people for
their law enforcement agency,”
Mr. Fletcher concluded. "The FBI
has done more than ordinary work
to gain the reputation it has.”
