DRASTIC MEASURES
Are Being Considered Relative to Presi
dents Criticism as to Secret Service.

Washington, Jan. 5.-Drastic meas
ures are being considered by the Per-
kins committee of the House appoint
ed to recommend to the House action
in defence of the body, in reply to the
criticism made by the President in his
annual message in referring to the Sc
cret service legislation of last year.
After a meeting of the commission
today report spread that the commit
tee would recommend to the House
that the portion of the message re-
ferring to the secret service be eX-
plunged from the records. Another re-
port was that the recent message in
reply to the request Of the House for
information on the subject would be
returned to the Chief Executive.
Neither report could be confirmed.
A report probably will be agreed
upon by the committee at a meeting
tomorrow, but Chairman Perkins said
today that no report would be sub
mitted to the House tomorrow. 1t is
believed the House will be called upon
to take action Thursday, or by the end
of the week at the latest.
