White HOUSE DOOR
GUARD IS REDUCED
One Man to Have Rowing" As
signment Now, While Other
Stays at Entrance.

1t has been decided to have only
one policeman on duty to guard the
front entrance to the White House,
instead of two as has been the custom
for many years.
This reduction was brought about
today by order Of Sergt. Clarence
Dalrymple, acting head or the
White House police force. In ex-
PLANTATION, the officer said that by
utilizing only one man for the front
of the White House, he can use the
extra policeman to keep tourists and
other visitors to the White House
grounds moving more rapidly, and
prevent those who drive into the
grounds from parking along the
roadway leading from the front gate
to the executive office.
In the future, only cabinet officers
senators and representatives, and
those known to have business in the
executive office will be permitted to
park In this lane.
In answer to inquiries today re-
garding the need for lessening the
police protection at the front door
of the White House, Col. c. o. Sher-
rill, officer in charge of public build
ings and grounds, who now has no
authority over the White House po-
lice, said he had not been consulted
about the change. and was at loss
to offer any good reason for it.
