America" contest at Or mond Beach, Fla. (International) Many Former FBI Agents Find Success After Leavinq Bureau Slash in Funds for Air Mail Haul Asked . Washington (U.R) The Civil Aeronautics Board has called for a $5,336,000 slash in rates paid the 13 major passenger air lines ior carrying mail. It ordered the air lines to show cause why it should not put the lower rates into effect retroac tively to April 1, 1954. The government paid almost $33,000,000 to the 13 air lines for mail carried in the 12 months ended last June 30. The proposed, new rates are based on hearings held earlier this spring. They were recessed when it appeared that all lines had agreed on new rates. The proposal affects payments for actual domestic transporta tion of mail and does not apply to subsidy payments received by four of the 13 so-called "trunk" air lines.

In 1946 he resigned, went to Texas and struck it rich In oil. There is nothing in the FBI's training literature that teaches a man how to do this. But it is the kind of success story that FBI Director J. Edgar Hover has learned to expect from his bureau's "alumni." Former G-men have found that a hitch in the bureau can be a springboard to lucrative pos- ! itions in business or the legal profession; to political office; or to various other responsible jobs in government and private life. Politics, Toe Some of the ex-FBI agents who have made a big splash in politics are Gov. Frank Clement of Tennessee, former Gov. Ed win L. Mechem of New Mexico, and Reps. Harold H. Velde (R 111.), Ed Edmondson (D-Okla.), Thomas Dodd (D-Conn.), and Omar Burleson (D-Tex.). Two appointive officials of the Eisenhower administration state Department security chief Scott McLeod and Federal Com munications Commissioner Rob ert E. Lee were once FBI ag ents. So was Vice-President Richard M. Nixon's administra- i tive assistant, Robert L. King. O'Neill, financially one of the most successful men in the ranks of FBI agents, now is an inde pendent Midland, Tex., oilman worth an estimated $20,000,000. To Webb, another former ag ent who went to Texas, now oc cupies a top executive post with Clinton W. Murchison's $50, 000,000 T e c o n Corporation, headquartered at Dallas. Frank V. Martinek, an "old timer" who helped break up the Angelo Genna gang in Chicago in the 1920s, left the FBI for a job with Standard Oil of In diana and now is assistant vice president of that corporation. As a sideline Martinek writes Missoula, Mont.

Testimony to that effect was given by Melvin Carlin, certi fied public accountant for the clothing firm, Bonita Originals Inc. He said he was told the check was to "benefit" the gov ernment employees who assist ed on the contracts. He identi fied the check which was made out to Leon M. Levy, one of the officers of the firm, and endors ed by him. Carlin testified before the Sen ate Investigations subcommittee as it opened public hearings on charges of graft In military uni form contracts.
