Nation's Powerful Private Eye Often Stymied by State Borders Washington (UPD - The FBI is the nation's most powerful private . eye. It , moves ' in whereever a Federal crime is committed. But when it comes to mur der, lynchings and hate bombings, the G-men are of ten stymied by a state line. The limited jurisdiction of J. Edgar Hoover's . bureau when it comes to crimes of violence was vividly illustrat ed to the nation in the FBI's recent withdrawal from the Mack Charles Parker lynch ing case. ' On orders of Attorney Gen eral William P. Rogers, agents began swarming all over Pop larville, Miss., hours after the 23-year-old Negro victim was abducted from , jail while awaiting trial onarape charge. The FBI cracked the case, identified the -suspects and then bowed out after turning the facts over to state authori ties for prosecution. - , 'Local' Affair - . It had no alternative.

It found Parker had not been transported across state lines, which would have been a violation of the Lin bergh Kidnap Act and a basis for Federal prosecution. Nor had any other Federal of fense been committed. The kidnap - murder of one-month-old Peter Weinberger in New York in 1956 was the same story. The FBI solved the case, but proved that An gelo La Marca had not violat ed the Federal Kidnap Statute because he did not carry the infant out of the state of New York. ,, La Marca was convicted in a state court and executed for the crime. . Only Federal Offenses The FBI is the Justice De partment's detective agency. It looks into Federal offenses, and Federal . offenses alone. The bureau may not investi gate violations of .state or local laws even when re quested to , do so by local authorities or groups of pri vate citizens. . - V ' The FBI' has authority to move in on bank robberies, fraud 'against the government, crimes on India and govern ment reservations, theft, em bezzlement or destruction of government property and in terstate transportation of stolen vehicles or aircraft. It also has a reputation for cloak and dagger operations against spies and subversives. And it draws up dossiers on government appointees and employees to halt any Com-! munist boring from within, j In short, the FBI is strictly j a fact-gathering and fact-re j porting agency. It passes its ' finding on to other Federal agencies to make decisions ! for prosecution. , . .. But the FBI does not evalu ate these facts, draw conclu sions as to guilt or innocence, express opinions, issue "clear ances" or even make recom mendations for action.' Famous for List ; The FBI also is famous for its "most wanted fugitive list. But even here, when fugi tives who have crossed state lines are located, they are turned over to the custody of local authorities. ... - The lines are not so tightly drawn, however, that the FBI cannot help local and state police in a specific way. ' Through its cooperative services, the FBI identifies fingerprints sent in by police men, working on murders or accident cases. It trains police in the latest whodunit tech niques and it swaps informa tion of mutual interest. ' ' During , its investigations, the FBI often turns up infor mation regarding violations of state and local laws. The FBI promptly tips authorities concerned. ; When the FBI makes out a Federal case, the Justice De partment takes over and pro escutes. During the 1958 fiscal year 11.457 convictions - a 10-year high ' were recorded in cases investigated by the FBI. - ' Theyll Do It Every Time By Jimmy-Hatio THE CMAlR RECOGNIZES, MISTER Rose water- I OHTHAT IS-ER-X THINK THOSE OIS6USTlNj 6IRLV-6IRLV SHOWS SHOULD BE BANNED FROM OUR FAIR CITY LM-AND FURTHERMORE, ANyONE PATRONIZING THEM SHOULD BE, ARRESTED 4ND FINED ROSEWATER IS THE BEST CUSTOMER THEM BURLEVCUE SHOWS HAS GOT HA-HA ITS NOT HIM TALKIN& HIS FRAU IS A VENTRILOQUIST J AND THE LICENSE COMMISSIONER SHOULD BE ARRESTED FOR ALLOW Fianrm Sm&fe. br, Wor:j right nnL II ' wr iTffcJQlr1 SHE'S ALWAYS AGITATING FOR SOMETH1N LAST TIME IT WAS TO MAKE THE DRIVER OF THE SCHOOL BUS HELP THE KIDS WITH THEIR HOMEWORK YA KNOW WHAT'S EATlN' HER, DON'TCHA?
