FAMED MARKET BURNS New York (U.R) A spectac ular fire swept through the famed Fulton Fish Market early today, doing considerable dam age to an unused pier and a number of occupied fish stalls. bumps and grinds in a downtown burlesque theater. The cute child star with the spit curls has grown up to be a slinkv striptease dancer known as "Giida." Films Immoral ' People are so amazed to hear I went from movies into bur lesque.'' admitted Shirley Jean, or Gilda. as she sat in her mod est dressing room backstage of the grind house on ?.Iain st. "Well, I'll tell you. I prefer burlesque because it's not so im moral as the movie business. '"Hollywood has turned into a rougher game than ever. Every girl is fair game. In the stripping profession, you get somewhere through your talent, not through somebody you're friendly with. When you get on that runway you have to hold your audience or you're a dead pigeon. '"I'm making more money than I did in movies. I like live audi ences and I want to be a star. Burlesque is the only field of live show business left that you can't see on TV." Shirley Jean says she's 24 now. She was a star of "Our Gang" for five years, along with Spanky McFarland recently seen on the George Gobel show. Farina (now touring with a small band), Al falfa (he portrayed a 100-year-old Indian in a recent Robert Mitchum movie. "Track of the Cat"). Darla Hood (now a singer) and Jackie Cooper (still in show business.)" Graduates to Rooney She then graduated to the Mickey McGuire comedies star ring MicKey Kooney. sniney played Tomboy Taylor in a top knot and plaid jacket for nearly three years. At 12 she was a dancer in such musicals as "Meet the People." She appeared in many Donald O'Connor pictures. A year and a half ago she began to train at the Follies theater here as a stripper, and since has toured the country. She is billed as "Gilda and Her Crowning Glory" because as she strips she lets her long blonde hair fall below her waist. "Many adults come backstage after the show to get my auto graph for their children who watch the 'Our Gang' comedies on TV," she smiled. "I don't think the kids would mind if they knew what I do. I like burlesque. It's what a person is, not what they're doing. There are a lot of idiots who are secretaries. Washington (U.R) The poster in the sheriff's office said, "Wanted by the FBI." The pic ture it displayed was disturbing ly familiar to a Midwestern schoolboy who dropped into the office on an errand. ' As he gazed at the picture he realized that the fugitive, want ed for armed robbery, was a man who had worked on his fa ther's farm until recently. The youth called the nearest office of the Federal Bureau of Investiga tion. On the basis of his tip the fugitive soon was tracked down, tried and sent to jail. Valuable Allies This instance and others like it have convinced the FBI that alert boys and girls can be valu able allies in law enforcement. That conviction, in turn, has been translated into a new 16 page booklet, prepared by FBI director J. Edgar Hoover to ac quaint American youngsters with the history, functions and some of the accomplishments of the G-men. The agency's role in protect ing the national welfare in both peace and war, against individ ual law-breakers and highly organized espionage and sabo teur rings, is described in the report. Established in 1908 as the Bu reau of Investigation of the De partment of Justice the organiza tion was politics-ridden for the first 16 years of its existence. In 1924 its name was changed to Federal Bureau of Investigation, and Hoover, then 29, was ap pointed its director by Attorney General Harlan J. Stone. Hoover specified that the organization was to be a career service, com posed of agents chosen solely for their ability and good character. The FBI's rapid rise in pres tige and efficiency thereafter was stimulated by its struggle against the big organized gangs of the 1930's the booklet points out. Notorious criminals had to be tracked down and captured in a relentless drive against crime. Nicknamed 'G-Men' The infamous John Dillinger fell in a Chicago gutter on July 22, 1934, the loser in a gun bat tle with FBI special agents. "Pretty Boy" Floyd and "Baby Face" Nelson, the latter a killer of five FBI-men, were also cor nered and slain in the same year. In the same gang-war era, FBI agents got the nickname "G-men." George "Machine Gun" Kelly, wanted for kidnap ing, had been traced to a house in Memphis, Tenn. As agents surrounded the house and order ed Kelly to come out, the fright ened gangster said, "Don't shoot, G-men: don't shoot!" The name, an abbreviation for government men, has since become an un official title for the FBI agents. During the 1940's public enemies of foreign origin occu pied the FBI's attention, the booklet says. Just before the out break of World War II, German I Theyll Do It Every Tiire Bv Jimmy Hatlo espionage activity increased sharply in the United States. The largest spy ring was headed by Frederick Joubert Duquesne, a a professional spy of 40 years' experience. One of the ring members was Harry Sawyer, an American citizen trained in Hamburg's spy school. He was paymaster for the spy network and had set up a shortwave radio station for communication with central German intelligence. Contacts were made without difficulty and the radio station was beam ing messages to Hamburg. Message Cleared One fact concerning this ar rangement made the communica tions of doubtful value to the Germans, however. The station was being operated by FBI undercover agents and all mes sages were cleared with U. S. Army and Navy Intelligence. Sawyer had informed the FBI of his mission immediately on his return from Germany. The ringleader, Duquesne, was completely fooled by Sawyer's "double agent" deception, says the report. Duquesne boasted to Sawyer of his ability to dupe the federal men and proudly dis played secret plans for the M-l rifle, torpedo boats and air planes. When the network's out lines were clearly revealed, the FBI struck, arresting the 33 ring members late in June, 1941. More recently, the FBI has battled Communist subversion. Federal undercover agents have joined the party, watched the Communists' moves and arrested scores of top party officials. Example of Effectiveness The Rosenberg atomic spy case was an example of the FBI's ef fectiveness in this fight, the booklet says. Julius and Ethel Rosenberg, executed at Sing Sing Prison for espionage in June, 1953, were part of a large Soviet spy ring attempting to steal U.S. atomic and other de fense secrets. The booklet concludes with a story about the significance of the FBI motto "Fidelity, brav ery, integrity" and the spirit in which the federal agents do their work In Baltimore a G-man was shot while attempting to arrest a notorious criminal. Although severely wounded, he emptied his gun into the assailant. The agent regained consciousness on the operating table of a hospi tal and asked about the crim inal who had shot him. He was told that the fugitive had been killed on the spot. The agent murmured. "May God have mercy on his soul" as he breathed his own last breath. ITTPUTiOKl.PPOS4TIOKJRy NURSES.'

Eden Praises Eisenhower's Work London (U.R) Prime Min ister Anthony Eden returned to London today full of praise for President Eisenhower's positive contribution to the Big Four con ference. The British Prime Minister frankly admitted that Mr. Eisen hower was "in a large measure" responsible for the lessening of tension following his meetings in Geneva with Soviet Premier Nikolai Bulganin, French Pre mier Edgar Faure and the President. Eden reported to key Conser vative party leaders on his "cau tious optimism" over the inter national scene that resulted from the conference. He met with Cabinet members at 10 Downing St., this morning following his return from Geneva. The Prime Minister was re ported in favor of making a de tailed report on Geneva -to the House of Commons Wednesday.
