Belly And Hoov
The Editor, .
Dear Sir: Although #: reporter |:
described Mr. Melvin. Belli, .re-|.,
cent guest ‘speaker: to Spring | *.
Hill College here, as a “famed|::
-ltrlal lawyer,” one feels inclined
to question the man’s wisdom
and his knowledge of his gov-
ernment’s: department of law].
and order, by- reason of his|
public ‘statements concerning
our chief of the FBI. ~ a
When this reportedly famous |"
wizard on the finer points of the] -
aw, intimates that J.’ Edgar|-.
Hoover is a hypocrite and is|:
delinquent in his duties concern-|°.
ing the problem of rising crime
in our nation, he evidently is|-
woefully lacking in knowledge]:
as to what the assignment of
the Federal Bureau of: Investi-|.
gation really is. . .
By orders of ‘our federal gov-
ernment, it is Mr. Hoover’s job
to get the facts in cases coming }
under federal jurisdiction, and,
to locate the culprits; after].
which he is equally duty-bound
lto turn his findings over to the
Department of Justice. Thus, | -
‘mir. Hoover's job is primarily}.
‘one of investigation and of the{~
apprehension of the offenders; |,”
and his record in this line of
duty is magnificent’and above]
reproach. ee ©
Should Mr. Hoover undertake |_
‘ito prosecute the case or to in-|_
sist on seeing to it that proper}:
punishment is administered, -he|*
would indeed be oversteppingj*
Therefore, in view of this
state of affairs, it is not only|’
unjust but also indicative of ex-| -
tremely poor judgment in midst
of the present crisis in our land
for this Mr. Belli to criticize our |"
wonderful chief of the FBI.. ~ |
MRS. H. WYGILL.”
