Will Publish Series In FBI Manhunt
Bulletin Joins
Federal Agency
Publicity Program
Crime experts agree that the
best detective in the world is
JOHN Q. PUBLIC, and statis-
tics seem to bear them out. Up-
setting the popular theory of,
the perfect crime, they contend
that every crime could be sol-|
ved il a certain member of the|
public would come forward and |
tell what he or she knows a-
bout its commission.
March 14, 1955, marked the
Fifth Anniversary of the FBI's
“Ten Most Wanted Fugitives”
Program, which was instituted
to provide nation-wide publici-
ty to dangerous criminals who!
hoped to melt into the back- |
ground of a community's daily!
life. The success of this pro-|
gram has been beyond all ex-!
pectations and is a tribute to
the effectiveness of a combined
coordinated effort on the part|
of law enforcement, the press.)
radio, television, and the pub-|
lic. Since the inauguration of |
this program, 82 fugitives who|
made the Top Ten list have]
been brought to justice, and of|
this number 35 were located as!
a direct result of information
provided by alert law abiding |
citizens, and the assistance ren-
dered by the public during ’'55)
indicates that the net results!
will far surpass previous years.!
“There is no doubt,” accord-
ing to Norman H. McCabe, Spee-
ial Agent In Charge of the
Philadelphia Office of the FBI,
“that the vast majority of the
public are only too willing to
render all posecible assistance to
law enforcement because it is
to their own immediate benefit
to rid society of those individ-
uals who are prone to criminal
action. In the past. the great-
est difficulty was to acquaint
the public with the description
and background of the fugitive
and provide them an opportun-
ity to observe his photograph.
This has now been remedied
through the excellent coopera-
tion of newspapers, magaz'nes,
and the distribution of wanted
posters. .In fact, William R.
Nesbit, a convicted murderer,
was arrested in St. Paul, Minn.
after two young boys recogniz-
ed him from a picture which
had appeared in the local news-
paper. Anthony Brancato, an-
other one-time member of the
Top Ten, surrendered himself
to the FBI in San Francisco,
saying that every time he pick-
ed up a newspaper his picture
was staring him in the face.”
In an effort to be of assis-
tane to law enforcement, The
Mount Joy Bulletin is cooperat-
ing with 110 weekly newspap-
ers in Eastern Pennsylvania in
order to bring before the pub-
lic the photograph, description,
and background of many Want-
ed Criminals.
Starting the week of January
8, 1956, The Bulletin will, for
20 weeks, feature the story of
a man wanted by the FBI for
commission of a crime. It is
suggested to the public that it
would be an excellent idea to
clip the succeeding stories, pho-!
tographs, descriptions, and
backgrounds so that they will
be readily available for refer-
ence purposes. Not only will
this paper print the stories of
