the department from politics
and built it into one of the
most efficient agencies in the
world. /.<!
McGraw said there are now
450 trained FBI agents in the
country. They investigate and
compile evidence in cases in
volving federal crimes, but do
not prosecute cases. This is
left to federal attorneys or
ilocal officials. In its identifi
ation file there are 171 mill
ion fingerprints listed. These
are separated by criminal and
non-criminal sections.
The FBI laboratory also
analyzes blood, hair, bullet
markings, heel prints, tire
tread marks, and others. They
always cooperate with local
law officers and the informa
tion they have is available to
them.
In the club’s business ses
sion, another appeal was
[made for the eye bank. John
Miller, project chairman, said
the only applicant has been a
lady from Alabama, who has
| asked for forms for three of
her frienda, too.
