Has No Regrets—FBI Veteran
Urges Young Men Enter Federal
Service -
John O: Doig, Grand Rapids,
Nlich., veteran of 20 years with
the PBI, has no hesitancy about
recommending federal service to
career -minded young men. The
special agent for the Grand Rap-
ids area retired last week and
plans to open business soon as a
private consultant and lie detec-
ton.. machine operator. He took
time to reminisce over his years
with the FBI, which he says sur-
passed his expectations in terms
of excitement and satisfaction,
and to make an appraisal of the
future.
"The world never has been
faced with more challenges than
at present," he said. "Young men
entering FBI or diplomatic' ser-
vice now will have an important
part in decisions we will have to
make in the next 20 years."
Doig, born in Sault Ste, Marie,
received his law degree in 1931
at Detroit College of Law. He
practised law several years and
served two years on the staff of
the Corporation counsel of the
city of Detroit before joining the
FBI,
With the recent heyday of bank
robbing gangs still fresh In the
public memory Doig • was seeking
action and adventure, At the
time the FBI was being beefed.
up to meet war dangers then
looming on the horizon.
He says the war years brought
a wide variety of investigations,
ranging from national defense to
ordinary criminal cases.
Among his assignments was
the continuing search 'tor the
kidnapper of Charles Fletcher
Watson at Tacoma, Wash., whose
abduction in 1137 shocked the
nation. Doig says it is one of two
unsolved kidnappings still under
investigation.
Extortion His Favorite
Doig, who served in Idaho, Or-
egon, Montana and Washington
before going to Grand Rapids,
says extortion cases, involving
threatening letters have been his
favorite investigations.
"When you start out, the whole
world is your .suspect", he ex-
plained, "Then you start the pro-
cess of elimination and hope,
finally, to get your man. As an
example, he cited a case several
years ago involving a series of
threatening letters written by the
same individual.
Narrows Search
Despite disguised handwriting,
he said, a former Swedish school-
teacher was located who analyz-
ed the writing and determined
that the writer had been educated
in Sweden and belonged to a
specific age group.
Doig, who will be succeeded by
Special Agent Ray Richardson,
another former Washington ag-
ent, says one thing he has learn-
ed is the truth of the adage,
"Crime does not pay".
"Very seldom da you see any-
one living in the lap of luxury off
the proceeds of crime," lie eal-
plained. "Usually you find them
in a starvation situation. Doig
was presented with a bronze
weather forecaster and a desk
set at a retirement party given
by area law enforcement person-
nel. Mr. Doig is a member of a
pioneer Kippen family and he
presently owns and operates the
farm, near Kippen, which has
been in the family for 120 years.
Mr, Doig is the son of Mrs, Lydia
3, Doig of Kippen and the late
William M. Doig. He frequently
visits and vacations in this area,
