Hoover built up his FBI with the dedicated energy of a missionary. He set up rigid eligibility requirements for agents, organized an intensive training program, established laboratories, put crime detection on the level of a major science.

Hoover became the scourge of that despicable headline-hog of the 1930's, the "Public Enemy." Aided by the fanatical loyalty of his elite corps of agents he made the term "G-Man" a synonym for courage. It was an FBI investigation that started Scarface Al Capone on his 2.

Survivors are the No. 1 G-man. When Hoover took charge of the FBI on May 10, 1924, he accepted the job on one condition: that the bureau be kept free of politics.

It was the work of Hoover and the FBI that made kidnaping one of the most dangerous pursuits in which a criminal could engage.

The late President Roosevelt entrusted the FBI with responsibility for the internal security of the United States. How well Hoover and his men executed their mission in shown by the fact that not a single case of domestic sabotage occurred during World War II. Just as he has been the deadliest enemy of the criminal, Hoover has become the nemesis' of that other menace to America, the subversive agent No man alive has done more than J. Edgar Hoover to exterminate those who seek to undermine American democracy. Now 54, Hoover shows no signs of slowing up.

His official working day is from 9 a. m. to 7 p. but, because he is a perfectionist who lives his job, there's no accurate way of measuring the time he gives to his work. A native Washingtonian, the son of a government employe, Hoover is a bachelor.

His domestic interests center around a black scotty and a Cairn terrier. His intimates are few, but among them he is known as a practical joker. There used to be recurrent rumors that Hoover would be replaced as director of the FBI by a political appointee. Those rumors are no longer heard. J.

Firemen yesterday drained a 2,000 gallon gasoline tank in a filling station at 3614 Guthrie, and tested it with five pounds of air pressure for three hours to determine whether it leaked. Fire Inspector Lind Lagerwall said the tank held the five pounds throughout the test Two other tanks of the same size are to undergo similar tests today, he said.

Fumes were detected in the basement Saturday as Henry Mason, the home owner, began digging a new sewer. He was driven from the house by the fumes when he reached water level. The danger was somewhat lessened today, Lagerwall said, when It was discovered that the gasoline content in the water had dwindled. However, he added, although the fumes are no longer explosive they are still dangerous.
