Local Man Rises In US Bureau Of Investigation Scotland Yard Style

The piece outlines Tolson's rise from Cedar Rapids business college graduate to Washington lawyer and his work on cases from the Insull utilities matter to hunting fugitives. It notes required qualifications for agents, training, and the Bureau's role across twenty two field offices, with a caution about the prevalence of criminal records among applicants.
