Mr. J. Edgar Hoover,
Department of Justice,
Washington, D. C.
My dear Mr. Hoover:
U
Mr. Clyde A. Tolson, a Resident Member of the
Club, has tendered his resignation. His election to
Club membership was on your proposal or second. On
that account the thought has occurred that you would
not only be interested in retaining his membership for
the Club but also may be in a position to do so. What-I
ever you do with that end in view will be greatly ap- .
preciated.
Sincerely,
. / /i5;¬¢= f}?¢2;Z:%;§%i~//GSW*L GEO. . nARD, Secretary.

Dear Clyde:
While in Cedar Rapid; on January 20, 1956, I met
Chief of Police Ray Tapper and Chief of Detectives Earl Stanley L
who asked that I transmit their personal regards to you. '
The visit to your heme town was greatly enjoyed
and I wish you to know that the people before whom I appeared
were the friendliest it has been my pleasure to address. In-
cidentally, so many spoke so highly of you that I took no
small amount of pride in telling them I knew you personally.

November 12, 1935.
y..12;o:"<.A,:_;nm ma era. ronsou
I have reviewed the attached memorandum of November 6th, writ-
ten by Hr. Glevin, to which is attached a list of cmnloyees to whom room
keys have been issued. From the memorandum of Hr. Glavin, my SUS§iCiOm
have been coniirmed in that obviously there has been very little care
evercised relaiive to the issuance of keys and to the use of them those-
after. I em axazed at the list of persons to whom these have been issued.
I see no reason for the issuance of keys on ouch u promiscuous basis. i
have no objection to the issuance of e key to an official or a supervirs?
of the Bureau, but I do not understand thy they have been issued to suck
a large number of clerical employees. I therefore desire thet an im$c~
dicta check be cede and that this list be materially reduced. '
I believe that in many of these instences, if employees have
occasion to retun1 to the o£iice after office hours and desire to enter
their respective offices, they could call at the Director: office and
the emwloyce on duty could then, with a master key, Open the office dc»
sired. Certainly, the present system is a moat unsatisfactory one as it
in to be noted that employees have been transferring keys from one to smother
without notifying the Chief Clerk's office and have failed to execute ti:
necessary property receipts. There is little nee of having our offi es
locked if keys are going to be distributed upon e wholesale taxis, u;~
parently has been the practice up to the present time.
Very truly yours, '

d;0/ HEMORANDUH FOR THE DIRECTOR.
Reference is made to the atteqpéd correspondence concerning the re-
examination in the case of FLETCHER RQ¬RAHFORD, Special Agent applicant,
Rockford, Illinois.
PKIn this matter Mr uonegan prepared a memorandum addressed to me on
November 12th in which he indicated that he failed to note the error contained
in the letter to U. S. Senator James Hamilton Lewis advising the Senator that
this applicant would be eligible for a re-examination at the expiration of a
period of six months. There was also prepared on November 12th a letter to Mr.
Crawford for your signature advising him that his name had been referred to=the
inspection staff in order that he might be called for a re-examination-at this
time.
' You ask why the letter to the applicant was sent to your office at 2:33
P. M., on November 12th and the memorandum of explanation received in your
office at 6:15 P. M., on the same date.
I have inquired of Mr. Donegan concerning this matter. He states that
he discussed this case with MrE%§uinn, who authorized the referring of this
applicant's name for a re-examination at this time. Mr. Quinn states his reason
for taking this action was that he felt it would be better from the Bureau's
standpoint to afford the applicant a re-examination at this time than to write
him a letter acknowledging that incorrect information had emanated from the
Bureau with respect to the limit for re-examinations for applicants who failed
to qualify as stated in the letter emanating from the Bureau to Senator Lewis.
Mr. Donegan states that he sent the original of the letter addressed to the
applicant to Mr. Quinn with the memorandum which he prepared on November 12th
addressed to me concerning the error. Mr. Quinn advises that he received the
letter and the menorandu together and after reviewing them sent them to my
office. Miss Canty, in my office, states that she received the letter addressed
to the applicant and handled it in the usual manner, that is she initialed it
for me and sent it to your office for signature. She states the memorandum
was not attached with the draft of the letter and that she assumed that since
there was a notation indicating that you desired a memorandum as to the person
responsible for the error that the memorandum had been forwarded to me as a
Special. ' 1 ' -- A -&7-%,<4- 2-/7Mr. Tracy this morning also asked for an explanation as to the delay in.
the submission of this memorandum of explanation to you. This correspondence was
received by the writer at 9:50 A. H., on November 13, 1935. I placed it on my desk

The Assistant Director in charge of training should not only prepare
the curriculum and arrange for the faculty of the training schools, but
he should chock and see that the individual lecturers perform their duties
properly; he should make it his duty at various times tosttend lectures;
to attend the training in the laboratory, in the Identification Division,
in thc'g3nnsium, and at Quantico to see that the officials of the Bureau
and handling these matters as they should be handled. There has not been
a proper handling of the matters at Qnsntieo by the supervisor in charge
and there has not been a proper handling of ther training work in the
gymnssiun.
The Assistant Director in charge of the Identification Division and
Crime Laboratory should not only generally direct the same, but he should;
be thoroughly familiar with exactly what is going on in the various branches
of his division. I am.not satisfied at all with the functioning of the
Laboratory. There have been some very serious blunders or errors nzdo in
handwriting identification, and I think the conditions in tho Crime Labora-
_tory are for from being ideal. The same condition applies to other sec-
tions of tho Identification Division. I T8COgniZ8 the magnitude of that
division, but there are a number of supervisors assigned, and it is the
duty of the Assistant Director in charge of that division to be thoroughly
familiar with what is going on through the supervisors and take stops for
corrective measures.
Z are getting 8CD"G3'1'1a1; weary and annoyed at the somewhat indifferent
and nonchalant attitude taken by the Assistant Directors in handling therir
respective responsibilities. I am looking to a marked improvement in this
condition. ,
Very truly yours,
John Edgar Hoover,
Director.

I have read the attached memorandum of Hovcmber 6, 1935, from Er? oaughman,
rélatita to the loan of the .351 rifle at Quantico. It is noted that Mr. baughman
hcn'c1pro:eod a willingness to procure a new .351 rifle to replace the one 51316;,
and of course this will have to be done.
I an, however, particularly concerned over what obviously has been a most
Csrcloss haniling of this equiomomt. Certainly, if representatives of this Bureau
cannot prOt2Ct their own firearms from theft we miht as well give up trying to
combat criminal elcment in this country. It la obvious that there has been
littlv cr no care tskeu in the bundling of this equipment at Quantico. The f
that ma: nos and other persons Stand around watching the firing of our Agata
an illblé 0Xg1anatiOn of how the gun disappeared. What givns mo greater
concern .s tho fact that this is one of the uost dangerous and most powerful
wcugon: .n czistuncn, and it aey have been taken by cone indiviéual having criminal
affiliat.ons, and it ic entirely uithin the realm oi possibility that_it may be
used ago nst some of our own Agents in sous future fight with criminals. I an
not coxt mt to let U1e matter drop at the p?&f&Et time. I want to know exactly

CT:ACS G. {!~f~October 31, 1935. Q/"3
HEEOHLHDUH FOR THE DIRECTOR,
Reference is made to your memorandum dated October 30th with respect
to your recent discussion with Special Agent _°f 531° 533533 cit! Of>"i¢@-
_ Hr. -called to see me on Thursdsy in connection with the progress
which he has node in the Bureau. I went over with him in detail the efficiency
ratings submitted in his case by Hr. Conroy on September 30th. I pointed out that
the rating was lower than the previous one submitted by Agent in Charge Nathan;
that Conroy her} indic:_1'.;§.<i t:1=.=t -92-:38 obsessed with e. tre-:<enciou.s ego which
has difficulty in suppressing; that he felt that his activities as Resident Agent
should be given scrutiny; that he does not work very well with other Agents and
causes friction. I pointed out to him other reports along similar lines in his
case submitted by Hr. K. A. Smith and 3r. R. B. athon and told him in view of
these co.=rr=.~..".-rlt-s and the e1iicienc;r mtrings s-iwaitted in his ease, his Agent in
Churge had been written to advise him cs to the reason why he was not being re-
allocated in grade and salary. -
IE1-. _admltt.sd to tl';el. the statements made concerning him were
correct. He says that he previously suffered from an inferiority coplex and
in order to c<¢ve;~ this has E_<§'-.>;!i,'-3&7. a 50-C;:.:!lr=~d "front", which probably is
considered by others to be an egotistical hearin1_~;. He stated that frankly he did
not like Hr. Conroy whom Conroy toot over the Kansas City Office but that after i
e few weeks he had 0. high regard for C::hr<>§.* end his ability to handle s field office.
He 1-zdmit that his record has been quite "spot't-3." and that time Washington headqtzszrters
of the Bureau. is fully justified for its comzlnsions in his case on the basis of
reports which have been submitted. states, however, thnt he has earnestly en-
* .. - 2:1 . In this connection, I told him that Mr. Conroy
rating that he had shown some irnproveraent and that
d that he felt if he could avoid his egotistical
actions and his inclination to try to impress his Agent in Charge, he would dsvelrp
into a very satisfactory employee. I explained to hr. -that we are endes-.vor..ng
to re-allocate all emgoyees of ti:-e Bureau and that naturally it takes some tine.
Ear. -stated that :.n his conversation with you hat he meant to convey was
that cert-sin men had r->cei92"ed re-allocations whereas they have not been received
by others and he does not believe that all of the employees of tho service fully
understand that the re--allocation survey is being mede with respect to all employees
and that possibly there are cases which have not yet been considered. I told 1.-_~.~.
ithat in each cast: where an employee is not be-.*.ng re-allocated, we had followed
the procedure that was followed in his case, namely, we have written the Special
Agent in Charge pointing out why the employee has :-:-t received a promotion in
grade and citing the saecific statements made upon which this conclusion was baeei
so that the Special Ag-ant in Charge could frankly discuss the case of the employee
with him and indicate why he was not being re-allocated at the present time. Er.

. .Q§_'!,__ !F CRIME $120 PER CAP1 F A --.-_.
In Uncle Sams relentless war
on criminals and the underworld
he has learned many things that
are surprising to the average citi-
zen. For instance, how many
criminals_are there in the United
States? What does crime in
our fair country cost each year?
Surprising statistics which answerall these questions were recently
made public by Clyde A. Tolston,_ assistant director of the Federal Bureau of Investiga- xvz tion of the Department ofjtistice, in an address before_' the lowa Association of Chiefs of Police. He declared
:1" there is operating in the United States an army of__;'_ _ 500,000 armed criminals; that one in every 25 persons - in this country possesses a police record; that crime costs every man, woman, and child in' the United States at least $120 a year; that the total cost of crime -- - to the country this year will be $15,o0o,0oo,000, and
that, if averages pre.92-ail, about 12,000 citizens will be murdered, 100,000 will be assaulted and 5o_,@Q__n;ill b5 Foibibifid. Think of it!P1z!lzndcr.

I wish that you would take up the contents of this memorandum
.with the Executives Conference. -
On last Saturday
brought to a close, and I
supervisors of the urcauthe Bureau's Police Training School wee
indicated to you that all officials and
desirous of attending the saze might do
so. I did not issue this as an order concerning attendance because
I assumed that all officials and supervisors of the Bureau were suf-
ficiently interested in the project to attend. This was particularly
true in view of the fact that the Attorney General was to deliver the
principal address. In adéition to the attendance of the Attorney
General there were four of the leading Chiefs of Police of the coun-
try in attendance. I was very much surprised and disappointed to
note that many of the officials and supervisors of the Bureau did
not attend these ceremonies. I have been previously impressed with
an apearent leek of interest in this project when it was initiated
in July, and at which time but very few of the officials and super-
visors of the Bureau were in attendance. It is possible that at
that time it might have been assumed by the officials and su9cr-
visors that the opening ceremonies were not open tn them, but I
believe this assusption would be a little erroneoue in view of the
fact that it is u project in which the Bureau has been vitally inter-
ested, and certainly inquiry could have been made as to whether any
one might attend uhc desired to do so. However, on the occasion of
lest Saturday I specifically iniicated that those desirous of attend-
ing could do so, and I was very disappointed to note the fact that .
there were zany who did not take advantage of this occasion. As I
have indicated, this was particularly true in view of the attendance
of the Attorney General. '-

Mr. Otto Karbusieky, '
Secretary - Treasurer p, 7
Ion Association of Chiefs of Police;520 Oakland Drive, q / /, .--'1. - . ...6_'Council Bluffs, Iowa.
/
Dear r. Knrbusieky:
- Thank you for your kind letter of Cctober 5,
1935, sending me a copy of the Resolution passed at the
27th Annual Convention of the Iowa Association of Chiefs
of Felice, and attaching an extra copy with the request
that it be transmitted to the Attorney General. Accord-
ingly, this is being done today.
This wholehearted eidorse ent of work of the
Bureau by your Association is indeed most gratifying and '
encouraging. To know the peace officers of the country
enjoy the benefits of mutual cooperation between federal,
state and local agexcies is a realization of one of the
Bureau's chief ambitions. -
_ it. Tolson joins He in extending thanks and sin-
cere appreciation for the courtesy shown by the nssociu-
tion in electin§°honorery members. The certificates
of membership and the membership cards mentioned in your
letter have been received. T-
Rcports of the success of the recent convention
of the Association have reached no from all sides and it
was a pleasure to learn that Hr. Tolson's address was so
favorably received. Permit me to thank you for writing
me to this effect.1 _ i . . _ _> _1 .v ;._ _:_

The Police Chief,
Terre Haute, Indiana.

' Dear Mr. Hayes;
I have received your letter of October7, 1935, and was gratified to learn that you enjoyed
your visit at the Bureau.
/ 1/ Mr. Tolson and the other Bureau em-
ployees were only too §IEH tb be able to extend courtesies
to you while you were on your trip, and all the recipro-
cation they ask is that you énjoyed yourself and found
the facilities of the Bureau.to be of interest.
Hr. Joesph has shown me your letter ofOctober 7, 1935, to him and as ed me to tell you that
while he appreciated very much your invitation to go
hunting, he cannot at this time avail himself of it-
With regard to the quail hunting in-
vitation, you may be sues that if the pressure 0? of-ficial duties is not too heavy, I shall certainly be
on hand, but at present the outlook is very doubtful.
With best wishes and kind regards,
Sincerely yours,
J. Edgar Hoover.

were seeking some may to obtain promotion to Student fingerprint
ificrs in order that they might obtain more money. FY02 the duties
they described to me I believe that they should be in a higher
ificetion grade than Cef-l, or at least they should have been pro-
more rapidly within Grade Csf-1 than they have been, as they have
eceived any promotion to date since being placed in Grade Ca?-1.I had occasion today to

I an very much concerned about this entire situation. I would
like to have immediate steps taken so as to effect reallocation of em-

$0me time felt that a mistake is being mace in appointing so-called mes-
songoro in Credo Cu-3, when as a matter of fact, the duties performed
are clerical duties, at least to e major extent. Consequently, I think
the lowest grade we should have in the Bureau is Cef-l, $1269, and that
the other graces should be raised accordingly thereafter. I believe
there has been some discussion concerning the reallocation of typists in
the Idcntificntin Division and of erploycee in the Card Index Section,
as well as of other clerical employees. I ould like to have immediate
action taken upon this matter, as I believe that the greater bulk of
mugemployees in the Identification UlVlSlOH are in grades lower than their

approaching this question because it is a known fact that the employees

Dear Mr. Hoover: "' - -~~--~~
It gives me great pleasure to tell you that I was privileged M__m_~mmh w to hear our friend Clydicfolson address the police chiefs in conven-
ticn in their Red. afternoon 3essi0n on "Cooperation of Law Enforce-
ment". ' _
He truly held everyone of his audience in rapt attention from '
beginning to end. '
_ It sas inspir to everyone interested in law enforcement
and good citizenship. _
His voice and personality are splendid, Sincerity to the utmost
was expressed in every zord and gesture.
I have heard only the finest of comment upon his address ever
since the occasion.
We are all proud of the men Washington took from us.
, Most sincerely yours,

to have_ There is a matter which I would like to have you bring
_ntely before the Executives Conference, becoue I would like
at only careful consideration, but some definite expression of opinion
the various mombere of the Conference upon this matter. It relates
' ever-xocurring problem incioent to the iszuance of I.O.'2. As 5
of fact, I am not entirely clear in my can mind as to what the
relative to the policy to be followed
in which the bureau has a primary
interest. I know that some months ago I discovered, to my amazement, 1
that "r issuance of cu I.U. nee one of the moot difficult accomplish-
meat: ffoct, and I have been aivised by a number of Scecicl Agents
U 3 the field districts that they refrain from eakiug for the
io;teccc of l.O.'2 bccausw of tee ion; argument; which always follow
_upon th part of Znshington heooquarters against the iseuancc of the
same. it that time I ave very definite order; that I wanted something
- to be Cora to correct this absolutely unwarranted and silly attitude.
The attitude of Kezhington headquarters was that we eoulo issue too
' many 1,U.'s. n inquiry I found, to my &maZcJ9Hi, that the total
nutter of 1.0. iseued by the EUfu&U mas only e few hundred, whereas
to have listened to arguments advanced by ashington headquarters, it
Wdld appear to huvo been Up in the thousands, with accitional thoueende
being added monthly. I then ordered that there be a study redo of the
fugitive files of tbs Bureau, and I assume that the same 1F still in
process and will continue to be in procese unless something is done to
bring about an early conclusion of the Same. I vould like, therefore,
to have tne Ezocutives' Conference report to mo exactly what has been
done relative to the orders which I issued some months ago and what the
policies are now relaye to the Burenu's_ceses incident to the issuance
of I.0.'s. ' .matter
Eiccutives Conference-bee decided
in tho issuance of I.0.'5 in cases
The other Problem is one relative to the issuance of I.O.'o in
cases of
tio. I have in mind the boodrich case at Detroit and the Fernekes case
at Chicago. In the Goodrich case the Bureau took no action whatever forF
notorious criminals who are primarily the problem of local authori~
U weeks and weeks, until I specifically issued orders that an 1.0. be issued,
M irrespective of that the bureau's interest might be in the matter. I do
not wish!tp}stej>aut=onY§very occasion?beyond the strict authority under
which we are Eup§Q§éd>tO operate, but there ar¢_oxceptions_to_all rules

Dear Zr. Hoover: _
in accordance with telephonic instructions from Mr.
Tolson, r. Mark 1- uittle, formerly an Agent in the Bureau, called
at ize Oklahoma City office today, et my request, in connection
with te statement or rumor reported to emanate from Mr. Little to 1
the effect that you contemplate resigning es Director in order to
estubiish en internutional detective bureau and would be succeeded
by er. o. n. Tamm as Director.
, Mr. Little stated that he first received this report in
East 1:5, the sources of which he declined to reveal, but steted
that 3; received the seme infornation from two independent sources,
which sources considered tne report to be well founded end "to be e
mutter of generel knowledge in Washington"- Mr. Little stated thatthe report, as he neerd it, was to tpe effect that you were to be
succeeded by.Mr. Temm on! . .f r Tolson
' Hr. Little stated that he attached no credence whatever
to the story, considering it merely idle gossip, and in the event he has
unwittingly repented this report, it Wes unintentionul and he sincerely
regrets that the source of such a report should be attributed to him.
He was advised zhet the report is untrue and that there is no basis
whatever for the circulation of a story of this character. Mr. Little
stated that "his lips would be scaled" so far as any further repetition
of this story is concerned. During the interview, Mr. Little spoke only

Bureau and the Division of Investigations of the Department of
_ the Interior, as u result of alleged proselyting on the part of
the Interior in employing Bureau trained Agents.
The information resulting in the interview with
Ar. Little was occasioned by information furnished by me to
Mr. Brantley. Although I knew from the first that any
statement of this character would be false and without basis,
I appreciate the fact that you desire to be advised thereof
promptly. I shall be governed accordingly in the future and
should any infOrmatl0n of a like character be received by me,
_while noting in charie of a Bureau office, i shall see that the
swae is furnished you directly.
Very truly yours,

In the first place, I consider the remark made by Mr. '
Glavin to the effect that the employees in your immediate office should
have no difficulty in passing the test, inasmuch as the various tee
pass through your office,,to have been a most undesirable remark
been made by an executive of this Bureau. I understand that hr.

for him to have even fecetiousby indicated to the employees of your of-

that my assumption was not entirely correct. It is absolutely unfair to
the other employees of the Bureau who are required to take stenograohic
and typing examinations to have a condition exist which makes it possible
for certain special employees to procure advanced knowledge of what
examin tion is to be had, practice upon the same and then take that
examinztion and make a high passing mark. The giving of an examination
is practically valueless if a condition of this kind is going to continue
to exist.I see no reason for the routing through of examination papers
and thus afford to an employee who might be so inclined, the opportunity
of availing himself of the information in such an examination before the
examination is ictually given. It would seem to me that there has been
a most careless and inefficient handling of this very important matter.
Employees of the Bureau who desire to be honest and faithful to their
responsibilities might fail to pass an examination end might thereupon
either be reduced in grade or dropped from the service, while other
employees, so inclined, could make a high passing mark because they had
an opportunity, and availed themselves of that opportunity, to know what
the examination was to be and be prepared for the passing of the same.
Henceforth, I sent no one other than the person who is to give the
exanin tion to know xhat the contents of the examination will be. If
that person be the Chief Clcrk of the Bureau, he sknuld prepare the
examination paper himself, and should then give the examination, and no
clerk or other official of the Bureau should have an opportunity to know
that the contents of the examination will be. This is the only fair and
honest way to treat the other employees in the Bureau who want to observe
the proper proprieties of such tests.
I am further more somewhat concerned about the condition
..in Mr. Tolson's immediate office, because it appears from the memorandum
of Hr. Quinn that there was sufficient opportunity for employees in that
office to practice during office hours upon tests, and it is al.s0 to be
noted that both r. Tolson and r. Quinn had time to give practice tests
to employees that office. I do not think that this is the proper in L . . c
condition to exist. I know that many sections of the Bureau are over-
whelmed with work. We are

I cannot concur in the recommendation that Miss Centy
be severely reprimanded because she agparently did everything she could
other than to make a report directL§ to Mr. Tolson or Mr. Quinn con-
cerning this matter. She discussed the matter with the Secretary to
the Assistant Director. In fact, neither the Assistant Director nor
Mr. Quinn sew fit to regort the matter to me, and for that reason
I will not concur in the recommendation that Miss Canty be reprimended
for not having made a direct report. We cannot expect more of her
than we expect of executives.

and it has occurred to him that some of the activities
of the Bureau of Investigation woven into a mural paint-
ing would be interesting end timely as well as quite
appropriate, the wonderful work beini done by this de-
partment under Hr. Hoover being very much in the public
mind and appreciated. ~
I do not went you to po to any trouble but
should there be anything in printed form releting to
the establishment, orgenizetion and systemati mg of the
activities, or telling about the activities -emsslves
and accomplishments, that is available to the public,
which might furnish suggestions and material for en
appropriate mural, I sha1l.be very grateful if you willsend it to me. It will be as greatly appreciated by
William.
I em writing this for him T "= ccruse I
went to say whet I have said in the begin. .3 and again
because, knowing you, I might ask the fa for him
better than he could ask for himself.
qht add that he is doing both mural and

Handwriting Experts More Credible

"Plaintiff's case is evidence of handwriting
experts on eomparison of signatures, aided
by enlarged ||hulost:|tie copies, plus claimed
contradictions, im-onsistenries and improb-
nbilities in dot:-ndents case.
The record as to hand9292'riti||g~is most un-
usual. llnndreds of pages of reeord show the
matter explore-l to the last fragment, and the
opinion of witnesses was, without reserr:-tion,
that the signatures were forgeries.

stronger than that made here in behalf of

Dear Sir:
Allow me to express my gratitude for the -
gracious treatment accorded Hrs. Schonberger and me by your
subordinates on our recent visit to the Bureau of Investiga-
*i=" we fourd your Bureau extremely interestingaand the
explanation given us tremendously enlightening. It was a
revelation to both of us. In fact, the Bureau impressed me
mere than anything I saw in ?ashington. 4, I
The treatmentaccorded us by Hessrs. Tolson{
Tracy and Hintz was so courteous and considerate that it made
a great impression upon us. The explanation and the interest-
ing talk which r. Hintz gave us made us feel how well protected
the citizens of this country are. We learned from him what
excellent work your men were doing and were the rest of the
citizens of the country to know the methods and exhaustive
work done by your Bureau they would have no qualms for their
safety against the enemies of society.92-_-_92_-.¢| 92-
gain I wish to assure you of our grateful-
ncss to you and your associates for the courtesy accorded us
and when I un again in Heshington I shall avail myself of your
invitation :0 again call on you. 4
Sincerely,

MEHURLNDUH FUR ER- TULSON
In regard to the attached memorandum of r. Clegg, dated June L, 1935,
I went to have prepcred immcdittely details rather than generalities deal-
ing with the training courses which we are derirous f irstitutinv We_ » I IA 4- QC I<- _ _ 1 F -92 ' nhove been_wssting, I think,q11te
psrtnininr to our training
proceed and to proceed promptly with the actual initiation of e police
training course. 'I huve yet toties
tosome vaiuuble time in oiacussing generali-
norx. The Attorney General has directed me
sec however anv detailed memorandum of the , Q v
schedule, lecturers and hours for the revised and amended course for our
O 9292'1'1trainers and rezreinees, and I have not, of course, yet received any
detailei schedule of courses and lecturers and hours for the police train-
in: schvol. We must get down to details and facts immediately in-this
matter. I cannot submit to the Attorney General the memorandum which he
has
forregcested me to prepare for release to the press of the detailed program
training, not only of cur own men, but of the police officials, until
something concrete hes been worked out by the officials of the Bureau
charged with this matter.
I wish, therefore, that Mr. Clegg would immediately prepare in detailed
form a complete curriculum, giving the names of the courses, the names of
the lecturers and the hours to be covered. I assume that r. Clegg has
already procured the acceptances from the various persons who have been
approved as lecturers. This is e most importatt and urgent matter, end
cannot be allowed to drag along any longer. '

MELiOR.ANDUT~:1 FOP. THE DIRECTOR. -
n reference/£6/your inquiry in connection withthe case of Hr. Howard P§§ellers, Messenger, you are advisedthat it has been the prac¬ice in view of the expansion of the
Bureau and the rather large number of newly appointed clerical
employees, to recommend promotions of Cu 3 Messengers to Grade
Cef l as additional messengers report for duty. However, any
derogatory reports made concerning the work of messengers are
taken into consideration prior to sending out any increases.
Respectfully,
