By 1952 the McCarthy hearings were well underway. Bel-Jon had his citizenship, but was nervous to hear from his wife that the FBI wanted to talk to him.  He was quite relieved to learn that the men who were looking for him were  representatives of the employees of the Fingerprint Division  there to commission him to create a mural to commemorate Hoover’s thirty-fifth anniversary with the FBI . The mural was displayed for many years in D.C. and was moved when the FBI relocated the Fingerprint Division to Clarksburg, WV.  The mural is still displayed in Clarksburg.
