with guarding the President said It
was not improbable that Tresca was
numbered among the thousands
whom Mr.. Coolidge had shaken
hands in recent weeks. Ordinarily
however, the hand-shakers are sup
posed to have cards from their Con-
gressmen or Senators and to have
themselves with attaches
at the Executive offices before
gaining the Presidential office.
President Coolidge has "let the
bars down" on hand-shakers at the
White House this spring to point
where 1t has become one Of the
worries Of the Secret Service men.
Usually six operatives watch the
line Of nd.shakers, and see that
no one in line carries any package
that might contain weapon or ex-
plosive device, but this is only a
general precaution at best. Reliance
is placed on the responsibility OF
those who sponsor the visitor, usu-
ally Congressman and Senator's.
Tresca was pardoned by President
Coolidge after having served part Of
a sentence for publishing a birth
