FBI special agent speaks to Greenville Pilot Club Elmer Linberg of Jackson, assistant special agent in charge of the Federal Bureau of Investigation in Mississippi, was the guest speaker at the April program meeting of the Pilot Club of Greenville Monday at the Downtowner. Linberg talked on the various facets of operation of the FBI. At present, he said, the Bureau employs 7,000 special agents and 10,000 other workers. Five thousand women are employed by the FBI as clerks, laboratory technicians and interpreters, he said. To illustrate his talk, Linberg used several exhibits, one of which was a thermal bar which was invented in Holland in 1966.

He explained that the bar generates heat to 10,000 degrees and was designed for use in dismantling steel structures. In early 1967, he said, this device was being used by bank robbers in Mississippi. Specific cases of crime and apprehension of the criminals were related by the speaker. He stated that the longest gun battle in which the FBI has engaged was with Ma Barker and her two sons in Florida. That battle lasted four and a half hours, he said.

A question and answer period followed the talk. The public relations committee was in charge of the program and Miss Betty Jean Henderson introduced the speaker. Mrs. Hugh Wiseman, president, presided and the invocation was given by Mrs. H.

L. Wells, chaplain. Miss Edith Horton led the pledge of allegiance. Guests at the meeting were John Neely, Miss America Adams, Miss Laura Greenlee, Miss Mary Nick and Mrs. Clarence Fabel.
