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.
Portland (U.R) Bids for ex

Washington (U.R) Joseph I.
O'Neill Jr., worked as a special
agent for the Federal Bureau of
Investigation for four years. 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.

'Pay Oil' Said Made
On Army Contract
Washington (U.R) Senate
investigators have been told
that a New York clothing firm
wrote a $1,000 check as "pay
off" for government employees
who helped it land contracts for
1,000,000 Army garrison caps.
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

officers of the firm, and endors
ed by him.
Carlin testified before the Sen
