other Government buildings and police

President more closely upon his return
to Washington from New Hampshire.

chief of the secret service, will person.
ally accompany the President whenever
he moves out from the White House.
Secret service agents always trail him
in an automobile when he goes for a
ride in Washington. but from now on
one of them will always ride in the
same automobile with him..

pressed quietly In many quarters for
