Bureau of Investigation mutiny over being called gunmen
Washington reports a sub rosa revolt within the Bureau of Investigation against J. Edgar Hoover and the Justice Department leadership. Agents argue their role should be investigative and trained, not purely armed, noting college graduates with law degrees among those killed or wounded in major cases. The unrest follows high publicity and clashes over agency nature. The White House responds by ordering a 90 day auto industry code extension and a study of year round automobile employment.
