 GUARDED BY POLICE
Millionaire Present at First Services in New York
 Baptist Church
By Associated Press

New York, April 9-Police precau- tions were taken today at the first services in the new Park Avenue Baptist church to guard John b. Rockefeller, Jr, whose presence in the congregation, it was feared, might attract the crimnally inclined. The edifice cost more than S1,500,O0O and will take the place of the Fifth Ave- nue Baptist church in which the Rockefeller have been worshiping for years. The elder Rockefeller is still in the south.
 His son, who Is leader of the Bible class, said he was surprised at the body guard assigned to him, not thinking it would be necessary for the department to look after him at church. All persons entering the building were carefully scrutinized and the vigilance was continued until MT. Rockefeller had finished his address to the Bible class and left for home with his wife and four of his chcildren.
 After the morning service members of the congregation crowded around Mir. Rockefeller and congratulated him for the part he and his father had taken in bringing the erection of the building to completio Elevators are one of its features.
 MT. Rockefeller told the Bible class that one thing above all others he admired his father for was that fin the great business he had built up, he applied the principle of sticking to that business and building 1t up. He has never attempted to go into a thousand other undertakings in which he has been offered so many attrac- five opportunities."

 "The bill ignores that basic policy and bears no reference to the other powers whose strength must de- termine our proportion in this ratio.
 This bill is an attempt to disre gard the navies of Great Britain and Japan, to give us the smallest force of the three and to establish a prin- ciple for which no responsible states man in the worlds history has ever stood-the principle of limitation of armament by example.
 | The provisions of this bill are not only in opposition to the basic naval policy of the country but are in oppo- sition to the view of President Hard | ing, Secretary Denby, Assistant Secre tary Roosevelt. the chief of naval operations, the commander-in-ch of the fleet, the general board and of 1 every naval officer that has been called in the hearings"
