However, the higher circles OF oficialdom
are by no means dependent upon the pubic
service for their telephone facilities lhey
have a very ingenious system OF their own II
is 4 secret network of wires. and. very natural
ly, II Is centered In the White House. frl'
marily, this confidential telephone web consists
of a special private telephone wire leading
from the White House to each Of the nine de-
partments of the government. The main pur
pose OF this is to enable the chief magistrate
TO at any moment consult with any OF his nine
cabinet officers without any danger Of caves
dropping but of course, should the president
desire 20 communicate conhdentially by phone
with any subordinate in any OF the depart
ments, 1t Is n simple matter to summon such
individual to the secret phone, rather than to
have him communicate with the White House
via the regular telephone channels
Equally important as arteries of quick com
munication, the two special telephone
wires leading from the White House to the
United States capitol. one of these lines leads
into the great exchange at the big white.domed
building and through this central the presi'
dent can get connection with the private Office
of any senator or representative, or with the
cloak rooms or other rendezvous OF the law
makers The other line from the White House
to the. capitol is strictly secret line. Not
only does il not lead into the exchange at the
capitol. but the terminal is not accessible TO
any person save with the presidents sanction.
1t is safe to say that there are men who have
been in congress for years. who do not know
Of the existence of this secret line to the
White House, much less know the location OF
its terminal, However, the line serves a most
important purpose, for 1t enables the president
TO at any time confer with the vicepresident
or with any senator representative-for in
