for all employees paid under the Classication Act contained a new pay compu-
tation formula for obtaining the hourly, daily, weekly, biweekly, and other rates
for all employees in the Federal Government, except the heads of agencies,
elected officials, Federal Judges, and certain other specic employees. The
new formula provides for rst computing the hourly pay by dividing the annual
salary rate by 2086 hours 66 pay days in year multiplied by 8 hours! and
multiplying the hourly rate thus obtained by 8, 40, or 80 as the case may be toget the daily, weekly, or biweekly pay. In addition, laany fraction of a cent in
any computation is converted to a whole cent. The 0 formula provided for
obtaining the hie-eemy rate by m-nmng the annual rate by 25 pay pemods; the
biweekly rate divided by 80, adjusted to the nearest cent provided the hourly
rate, and the daily rate was obtained by multiplying the hourly rate by 8.
The new formula simplies many pay computations, however, in
many instances it results in employees receiving in a year slightly more than
the annual rates of pay. This matter has been discussed with officials in the
office of the General Counsel, GAO, who advised that such higher payments
are legal. The new pay formula was recommended to Congress by that omen,
with the full knowledge it would result in such higher payments in some instances;
estimated total yearly payments in excess of annual rates for entire Government
approximately $4, 500, 000; GAO felt additional cost would be more than offset by
savings throngh simplification of pay computations; bull of excess payments
caused by the conversion of fractional cents to whole cents.
For information purposes the effect of the new pay computation
formula may be seen in the biweemy my payments for the Director the
Associate Director under the old and new formulaes, as shown in attached tabulations.nscommnnmiaéinz It-/ "- 3.3.9 '

FBI as participants. Oi" the loot.

In its crime laboratory, tiny
scraps of evidence often were
developed into irrefutable prooi
of guilt. But the FBI was inter-
ested also in clearing innocent
persons, and its laboratory tests
did that on numerous occasions.

FBI. Hoover Synonyrnous
To the general public, the
FBI and J. Edgar Hoover were
synonynaotzs. lt was he who
raisod it from a heel-:-ridden
Govcrnnzent bureau to the na-
lions top law enforct-ntont agen-
cy-'. The road v.'usrt't easy and
criticism was plentiful. Politi-
cians went after his scalp. Sec-
tions of the ;.res;; sometimes
were critical. and so, too. weresome judges. '
But 92'.'h3i '92'C'l.' the criticism,
l-ioover sec-med alv.-a_vs to emerge
unscathed. i-ic served under ve
Presidents and a dozen Attor-
ney Generals. Many awards wenttn ltii.i for public st-i"92'ici..

Cu-'1.-rnrtlenl that President
Dwight D. Eisv.-nhot'.'er bestowed
on him in 1958 The aceornjiany-
inf: citation said his "brilliant
leadership has or-ntributr.-d im-
!T.CBI--.ll"iabi}' to the preservation
and strength of the Nation, its
Constitution and laws."
President Harry S. Trurnan
p'ei-soiially presented the Itlecial
for Merit to Hoover. The cita-
tion with it said:
"Under his able leadership,
the Federal Bureau o! Investiga-
tier. not only has become a
poi-.-erlul Zristi-ume:'.t_ of en-forcement in peacetime, but
throughout tit-'. war 3»-ears sate-
guard-:-d the internal security of
the United States, rendering in-
ccctive espionage and '}n"event.ing sabotage." -
Turned Down Lucrative Offers
After the war. King George VI
appomted Hoover an honorary
192'_ni_sin ComlT..iI'tdcr of the civiltlt92l5iDh of the Most Excellent
Order of the British Empire.
Ihat t-.-:1: in recognition of hi-=
"outstanding cc-ntrizuticn to the
Allied vieto:-_v in the cld of in-,-1.-I ~.;.~ L;,_-ref-"-':. .-,'_i_ .1_. . .Hoover" a Certicate of Merit
in recognition of his 30 years
service as FBI director. That
same year, for outstanding
service to his country, he re-
ceived the Cardinal Gibbons
Medal from the National Alumni
Association of the Catholic Uni-
versity of America. '_ _
Hoover was the recipient of
many other awards-honorary
degrees, gold medals, citations
and plaques. The work of the
FBI was the subject of a book,
movie scenarios and radio pro-
grams. - _ .
There were offers of higher-
paying positions, too. As FBI
director Hoover's salary was
$22,000 a year. --
It was reportedin 1951 that
he had been offered the post_o£
commissioner of baseball, which
carried a_ _$75,000 annual salary.
Ttvo years latcr he turned down
an offer of $160,600 a year for
18 years to become head of the
l'1tCtt1E|tiOnal Boxinc Club. New
York City invited him in 1955
to be police commissioner at
$25.00!!. Ht: do-Clined. '.
When lioover took charge of
the 1-BI as director in 19.!-l,_ it
was a sickly, inept, }JO1ltlCS-.l'1d-
den agency. The agents couldn't
carry wea ons. Having no auto-mobiles, tlx1!r.-y traveled by street
car. Their chief aims were to
catch white slave-rs, automobile
thieves tvlio crossed state lines
and violators of the anti-trust
and hanltruptcy laws.
lle Revitalized AgencyHoover took that unpromisingOutt and rnoldczl it into a mode
for law eiiforccinent agencies
not only ir. the United States
but abroad. He created methods,
s_92-stems and iiistitutic-its which
reformed and revitalized all
forms of police work.
Political patronage was abol-
ished. High standards t'ot'_FB_l
agents were set up, both physi-
cal and educational. They had
tu be lawyers or accountants and
were required to have ability
and aggressiveness. They had tokeep fit and keep their shooting
eve sharpened t .rough constant
practice.
The director established the
I- BI National Academy tor train-
ing selected law enforcement
otllccrs in sc.entic law enforce-
ment. He constantly warned
them against using third degree
or other illegal methods of get-
ting evidence. The test tube is
mightier than the rubber hose,"he observed. _
Hoover started from scratch
and built up the valuable nger- -print le. '
The National Crime Labora-t

¢!Sheet 3 J EDGAR HOOVER Sketch 4U|:i ff ' if I Hr; V W Wwiiiii --
Justice, a clerkship. His rise was"
ra id. -gllithin two years Attorney
General Mitchell Palmer picked
him to prosecute a large number
of aliens seized in roundups 01'
suspected siibversives. He per-
sonally conducted Emma Gold-
man, the anarchist, to the ship
when she and others were de-
ported in I919.
A reporter who watched him
described the iuture FBI head
as "that slender bundle of high-
charged electric wire.
Origin of G-ManVfhile working as a sneciol
attorney in the u=tice Depart-
ment, Hoover began signing his
name J. Edgar instead at John
E. That was to avoid confusion
with a fellow ernploye.
In I921 Hoover became assist-
ant director oi the FBI mid on
May 10, 1924, at the age of 29,
was promoted to director. The
bureau then had 65? ernployes.
A quarter oi a century later
there were more than 14,000.
It was an underworld charac-
ter, "Machine Gun" Kelly, oneof the kZlEll'1BgEI'5 of Charles
Urschel, weali y oil man, who
gave the name "G-men" to I-Bl
agents.When an FBI agent cornered
Kelly in his'Mcmpliis hideout,
the gangster pleaded:
"Don't shoot. G-man."
Don't shoot, what?"
the agent.
"G-mart, Government
Kelly explained. _
The name stuck.
Hoover Directed Big Cases
To Hoover. a major violation
of a Federal law was a personal
challenge. With high-strung en-
ergy, he himself directed most
big cases.
After the Lindbergh Law was
enacted. he had the telephone
company assign a nurnlier just
for persons reporting kidnap-
ings. The number could be
called collect from anywhere in
the country. Hoover usuallv an-
swered the phone himscll. He
had one next to his bed.
There was much praise for
Hoover's accomplishments, hi-t
the record showed some criti-
cism, too.
Senator Kennett; D. Mcliellar
D-Tenn.! was a sc"ere critic
at one time. He called the FBI
director a swivel chair detective
who left"it to his men to make
arrests and risk their lives. He
was particularly caustic at a
Qongressional committee hear-
ing .ll'l 1936. It was brought out
that Hoover had never made an
aest personally.
At the time an airplane was
warming up to take Hoover to
New Orleans, where Alvin Kar-
pis, kidnaps! and dcsperado.
tad been located. Karpis had
been writing neediing letters to
the FBI chiet, threatenim; to go
to his oice and shoot him.
-_. Personally Grahbed Karpis
Hoover and several agents
posted themselves in front of
the house where they had
learned Karpis was staying toasked
man,"_,=.... . .
wait for him. When the gangster
nally came out, ii group oi
children were playing on the
street. - - -_ - -
Hoover took no chances of a
gun battle that might harm the
youngsters. He leaped from the
car alone, ran to Karpis and
grabbed him. The criminal was
taken so _comp_letely_by surprise
that he didn't have time to draw
his pistol.
Nob".dy ever questioned Hoo-
ver's courage attcr that.'- 0 -
The Karpis arrest had its
amusing side. Hoover turned to
his agents as they closed in and
asked for handcuffs. No one had
thought to bring any. They had
to_use their neckties to tie the
criminal's hands. .. .:.;-_,.~,.;,-.. "
Hoover personally led many:
other raids. One of these was in
New York in 1935 when Harry
Brunette, a hank robber .and
kidnaper, was captured after a
frenzied 45-minute gun battle in
a New York apartment.
New York Police Commission-
er Lewis J. Valentine accused
the government men of adopt-
ing a nielodi-ainatic procedure
in malsing what he considered
a routine arrest.
Friction Tumed to Cooperation
For a time there were con-
icts between the FBI men and
police departments, but eventu-
ally the.-~ were smoothed out
and complete harmony existed.
In 1939. Louis Lepl-re! Buc-
haltcr, one-time overlord of a
crimiiial syndicate called "Mur-
der, 1nc.," surrendered in New
Yo:'-: to Hoover. Walter Wiri-
ehell, columnist and commen-tator, acted ai--mediator. ' *" '
Winchell, told in an anony-
mous telephone call that the
racketcer would give hirnselt up
to "someone he can trust," gave
a promise of safe delivery dur-
ing radio program. Hoover
v.'er.t alone to _meet the gangster
and arrest him. Lepl-cc subse-
quently was electrocuted.
Senator McKellar became an
admirer of the man he once

ur.expecledl_y at graduation ex-ercises of one oi the FBI Na-
tional Academy classes and made

ahlcst men in the country." He
added that the head _G-man was

Dear Mr. Hoover:
I have just learned of the magnificent action
L.%"en by you with regard to the adv.|.meed royalties on
the new book Masters of Deceit.
I, as a Bureau employee, would like to take this
opportunity to thank you for making the five thousand
dollar check available to the FBI Recreation Association.
This, to me, is another indication of the great interest
which you take in all Bureau employees. Your kindness
and thoughtfulness, I knew, will be appreciated by every-
one in the Bureau.
May I just say on my part, thank you very much.

This memorandum is submittid to summarize the authority oi the Director
tor taking action on the 3'? super grade and iecutive pay positions allotted to me Bureau
and to outline the mechanics of taking such action on them so far as concerns any interestof the Department therein. __ 6 , ,., J, /4:, ~,,-I ; ,
1. The Bureau's 3'1 super grade jobs are all authorized by the Federal Employees Pay
Act oi 1955 approved June 28, 1955, which specically gives the Director authority to
place _1lf7_p0sit_i_0n§ in grades IQ, 1'7 and :11 of the General Schedule. _]g_g,q1d1ggg in these
37 super grades the Federal Executive Pay Act of 1956, approved July 31, 1956, lot! the
salaries oi the positions oi the Director at $21, 000 $22, 000 so long as the oice is held
by the present incumbent!, the Associate Director at $20,000, and Assistant to the D11'QCtt
at $19, 000 the latter position has had only one incumbent, Mr. Nichols, and the other
Assistant to the Director, Mr. Boardman has occupied a GS 18 super grade position!.
2. The Attorney General's Order No. 91-55 dated August 22, 1955, delegated to the Direc
tor authority to take final action on matters pertaining to the "employment, direction, and
general administration of personnel in the FBI, except the authority to appoint, assign,
promote and demote, compensate and classify and separate employees in the positions of{iis,socia_te_,_I.'!irectgL1l and_A&siSt§nt_ Dir_egtor._" Failure to include the position é Militant
to the*DireEtor waszsimply an oversight according to informal advice from Jack_Adler'soffice in the Department. , _ ,, _ HZ, .1 /

B. On actions involving the positions of Assistant Director,
Assistant to the Director and Associate Director which would
include changing the incumbent or changing his grade to a higher .
or lower one in case he occupied a position where the salary was '
not fixed as under the Federal Executive Pay Act, prior approval 7
of the Attorney General must first be secured. In September, 1956
the Director indicated that Mr. Tolson should informally handle
such matters with Deputy Attorney General or would give the
approval himself when he was Acting Attorney General. Mr. Tolson
would then indicate on the memorandum that such approval had been
obtained.
C. After getting the necessary approval of the Attorney General,
the next step is to prepare the formal fanfold i. e. , journal! action
in the Administrative Division. The Director must sign the fanfold.
Then all copies of the fanfold must be carried to Personnel Chief
Jack Adler in the Department and he must be advised that the
Attorney General's approval had been obtained. Adler than handles
the perforation of Andretta's name on the fanfold and returns the
executed fanfold copies to the Bureau which then constitutes the
official payroll documentation and makes the promotion legal. '
The foregoing is submitted for your information.

BUBJEGI: Purchase of pamphlet, "First Annual President's Awards for
Distinguished Federal Civilian Service"
The Commission is publishing an attractive brochure concerning the
new President's Awards for Distinguished Federal Civilian Service. '
A color reproduction of the Presidential medal will be featured on
the cover of the 12-page, h" x 8" publication, and it will contain ! a
brief statement about the new President's Award, ! the text of the Presi-
dent's memorandum of January 16, 1953, to heads of'Executive departments
and agencies, and ! a page on each of the first five awards, featuring
a presentation picture and the individual citation.
Agencies may find the publication useful in several ways. Since it
reflects the highest recognition to Federal personnel in the fields of
science, law enforcement, and diplomacy, it can be used as an Incentive-
Awards Program promotion piece for distribution to all employees. It
might also be used for reference by key officials in their community re-
lations or public relations activities, and it can be used in various
ways in connection with the year-long observance of the 75th Anniversary
of the Civil Service Act.
The Comission plans to distribute copies to representatives of na- _
tional employee organizations and professional organizations, editors of
key newspapers, magazines, and special publications, college officials,
and representatives of local committees for observance of the 75th Anni-
versary of the Civil Service Act.
The Commission will not maintain stocks to fill agency requests either

JUSTIFICATION SU"?E {ir..II192IG NOMINATION OF J'OHN ._.§GAR HOOVER
AS CANDIDATE FOR THE PRESIDENT'S AWARD FOR DISTINGUISHED
FEDERAL CTVILIAN SERVICE
1, Psajrnjsnr IDt3NT,I_FI*C§flflON,D!.TA,_,i
John Edgar Hoover has occupied the position of Director
of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, United States Department of
Justice, since his appointment on May 10, 1924, by Honorable Harlan F.
Stone, then Attorney General of the United States. Prior thereto
Mr. Hoover was also employed in the Department of Justice from
his entry on duty July 26, 1917. In 1919 he was made a Special Assist-
ant to the Attorney General and in 1921 was appointed Assistant Direc-
tor of the then Bureau oi Investigation which later became the Federal
Bureau of Investigation mider his directorship. He therefore has had
more than forty years of uninterrupted career service in the Department
of Justice.
His duties and responsibilities as Director of the FBI are
so well known as to hardly need recital herein. Briey, however, the
Federal Bureau oi Investigation is the investigative arm of the Depart-
ment of Justice and as such is charged with the duty of investigating
violations of laws of the United States, collecting evidence in cases
where the United States is or may be a party in interest, and perform-
ing other duties imposed by law or authoritative requestj Its jurisdic-
tion extends to more than one hundred forty separate matters involving
several hundred Federal statutes and embraces the field of civil and
criminal law, internal security and general domestic intelligence,
besides the performance of numerous cooperative functions for the
strengthening and furtherance of law enforcement in general. He
directs a staff of more than approximately fourteen thousand Federal
employees. The Bureau's operations are headquartered at the Seat of
Government in Washington, D. C., and extend to fifty-two eld
divisions throughout the territorial and continental United States
as well as numerous foreign installations.
Attached as exhibits No. 1 and No. 2 are a current biographi-
cal sketch of Mr. Hoover and a verbatim copy of the write-up in the
1956-5'? edition of "Who's Who" to be found on pas 1228.

"A. Mr . Hoover meets the first eligibility criterion of being a civilian
career officer of the Federal Government. His more than forty
years of uninterrupted service in one department, including more
than thirty-three uninterrupted years in his present position,
constitute a record which speaks for itself.

signicance and importance of his contribution to the Government
and the public interest deserve greater public commendation and
official recognition than that which can be accorded under existing
laws and regulations by the Attorney General as head of the
Department of Justice.

-K; e- -.:. -.-F.--as ;a92 _:,1 92i;,.:_-.2Mr. Hoover's career is a living chapter of American history.
its present value is beyond calculation in terms of what his
contributions have already meant to preserving, strengthening
and perpetuating the United States as a nation, its Constitution
and laws, its cherished freedoms, its reverence tor the home
and family; the welfare, peace of mind and essential security
of every patriotic law-abiding man, woman and child; as well
as the position of respect and authority of this Nation in the
international family. Es future value seems assured of
progressively increasing, not only through his continuing
service but equally because he has laid such a firm foundation
in the organization he directs, and because the inuence of his
vision, example, cooperative service and educational programs
have made American law enforcement an honorable profession
truly worthy of an elevated public opinion.
Mr. ooverls worth transcends any single department. Tl is
not measurable by normal Government standards. He has given
his life to the whole Nation as servant and trustee; thus, it is
only fitting and proper that the people should honor him through
an award presented by their elected leader.
On May 27, 1955, President Eisenhower presented the National
Security lviedal to Mr: lioover me made the fonowing perso@
remarks:

"Mr. Hoover, your dedication and devotion to public
service are so long and so well known, your accomplish-
ments in that service are so great and so well known,
that it seems idle for me to try to say anything that could
add to the dignity oi this ceremony.
'_'Pez-ims it is 311...-it best tor me to say 1 m proud to be Q
agent tor our people in conferring upon you this highest
award that the Government has, and to say that your real
reward - as all oi us here know - is in the hearts, the
thanks and the gratitude of our entire nation."
See Exhibit No. 3!
Evidence of ooveris recognmo n by almost every wortnwml" ' "e
segment oi our Nation is amply demonstrated by the tact that he
has been awarded seventeen honorary degrees by as many colleges
and universities see Exhibit No. 4!; he has received a great
number of significant honorary awards in the torm oi medals,
citations, plaques, decorations and related distinctions, many
being the initial award oi its kind. See Exhibit 5.! These include
awards L-om my ioreign countries and represent a broad cross-
section of national, local, private and civic groups - all devoted
to meritorious causes in the eld oi law enforcement, humanitarian
endeavor, distinguished citizenship, science, public welfare, youth
activities, character building, Americanism, security, counter-
subversion, national and world freedom, justice, personal integrity,
moral and spiritual advancement.
There has never been a scandal involving the Federal En-eau of
Investigation under Mr. Hoover's leadership - quite a contrast
to the politics-plagued and scandal-scarred Bureau of Investigation
when he assumed command. Mr. Hoover's name has never been
touched by personal scandal.
As Director oi the Federal Bureau of Investigation for more than
thirty-three years, under ve Presidents and eleven Attorneys
General, Mr. Hoover has compiled an outstanding record which

sets an example of superlative management <.."a field touching
deeply into civil rights and liberties, human conduct and welfare,
national and international, as well as group and individual
security.
He has constantly made merit and ability the basis for
entering the organization and advancing within it. He has
imposed the highest personnel standards worthy of such
a sacred trust. Through performance by him and his staff
characterized by dedicated service; results rather than
promises and intention; facts rather than impulse, instinct
or rumor; through logic, science and persistent effort
rather than brawn; respect rather than fear; - the FBI has
earned a position of public esteem unparalleled in its field.El.
His leadership has been a vital force in successfully
bringing this country through such critical periods as the
gangster era in the early 1930's; the pre-World War II
preparedness years; the period of World War II on the home
front as well as the intelligence threats in certain foreign
areas; the post-war adjustment, sprinkled with wartime
frauds, new gangster threats, the Cold War and the menace
of Communism and other subversion; and the Korean
emergency. He is now giving the same concentrated
devotion to such current problems as civil rights and
liberties; ramifications of the atomic era; and the continu-
ing, ever--active, rapidly shifting subversive picture.
Tangible proof of Mr. Hoover's stewardship for the taxpayers
is found in the recorded appropriations hearings before
Congress. From 1924 through fiscal year 1957, ending
June 30, 1957, the cost of operating the FBI as represented
by direct Congressional appropriations amounted to
$l,04l,524,817, whereas fines, savings, recoveries, and
monetary claims adjusted in favor of the Government, have
totaled $l,4'?4,96l,131. In other words, the FBI balance
sheet shows a net profit of $433,436,314 or 41.62% in excess
of the cost of appropriations. The "Congressional Record"
contains many gratuitous remarks by members of Congress
-4 attesting to their faith and confidence in Mr. Hoover as an
individual and the organization for which he is responsible.C-

Mr. Hoover's management genius has established a system
of planning, seli inspections, and personnel training designed
to assure maximum economy of operations and the fullest
utilization of manpower; thus guaranteeing the greatest '
possible return to the taxpayer ior every dollar expended.
