INTRODUCED IN HOUSE
Elliott Measure Would Put White
House Force Under Chief
of Secret Service.

Chairman Eliot of the House COM
mittee on public buildings and public
grounds, and member of the Public
Buildings Commission, today intro
duced in the House the bill suggested
by Secretary Mellon transferring the
White House police force from the Metz
ropoIitan police fol- e to come under
the chief of the secret service. 1t also
provides for increasing the salaries Of
the White House police force with off,
GERS in charge given higher rank-one
captain, one lieutenant, three sergeants
and as many policemen of the third
grade as may be considered necessary.
The Eliot bill also provides that mem
bers of the White House Police Force
shall be appointed from the Metropoli-
tan Police Force and the Park Police
Force
This legislation is presented because
President Hoover had complained that
the present police force at the White
House is insufficient to protect properly
the President and his family and the
White House and grounds.

The nth class, says DR.. Richmond,
Is made up of the victims of definite
organic diseases which affect behavior,
such as epilepsy post-encephalitis and
infantile paralysis, glandular disfunc-

also many normal children who begin
