Scotland Yard lauds
u. ). Secret Service
For Protecting King
18th Anniversary Being
Observed at Session
Of Supervisors

From Scotland Yard today came
high praise to the United States
Secret Service for Its part in pro-
tecting King George and Queen
Elizabeth during their American
visit.
Appropriately, the praise came to
Chief Frank j. Wilson Of the Secret
Service as his organization this
morning launched into a program
celebrating its. 18th anniversary,
during conference of the Treasury
Department of supervising agents
from all parts of the country.
Albert Canning, chief constable of
Scotland Yard wrote a letter to
Chief Wilson from the royal train
in Canada, just before departure Of
their majesties for England. saying:
Il think your officers are to be
congratulated on the very efficient
and effective manner In which they
protected their M4jesties during
their visit to your country.
The visit, I am sure, will 60 a
long way toward cementing the
friendship already existing between
our two countries. I hear nothing
but praise from all concerned"
Conferees to Build Program.
Chief Wilson of the Secret Service,
pleased with the letter, launched
into plans for the seventy-f1fth
birthday celebration Of the Secret
Service
The gathering of supervising
agents, Chief Wilson explained, has
another function aside from that of
observing the anniversary This will
be, he pointed out, Ito build up
constructive program covering the
work of the Secret Service, so that it
may operate even more efficiently in
the future"
Looking back to the organization
Of the Secret Service in 1864, Mr..
Wilson declared that former agents
by their loyal and faithful work"
had built up an organization ac-
corded high reputation and pres
tige throughout the country"
I'VE want to continue that pres
tige," he declared. I'VE feel that
our field agents are the backbone
of the service. I have called them
in to tell me what, in their opinion,
will be the best things to do to still
further improve the service. These
men have long experience, wide ex-
perience, in personal contact with
citizens, with taxpayers and the
general public. They will bring to
us valuable ideas
Battle Counterfeiting.
Emphasizing that one of the
principal features of the conference
will be to strengthen the battle
against counterfeiting, Chief Wilson
declared that I'VE are going to build
some very special, comprehensive
and elaborate plans"
Last fiscal year. he pointed out,
his agent delivered addresses on the
subject of counterfeiting to 1914 diff
ferent organizations, reaching an
estimated total of $4,000 people.
This public contact, he expects. will
be even more expanded during the
future, he said.
Preliminary work of the supervis-
ors' conference got under way over
the week end. Some of the agents
arrived Saturday Special commit
tees assigned to various phases of
the work have been set up. Some
of these committees worked Satur-
day and yesterday. They got under
way with complete personnel this
morning, Mr.. Wilson said. and will
work out recommendations during
the day. They probably will con-
tinue their work late tonight.

a note OF the protest and assured
businessmen that service Would be
improved.
Some controversy developed after
comments by Percie Thacker and
Charles Nice that the earlier sched-
ule of night trains. which provides
leaving FL Centre at 7:30 pm. in
stead of e:l0 pm. for Los Angeles
would damage shipments OF pro-
duce. Rail men contended that the
business was SO small as to be al
most negligible.
Discussion KEEP. returning to the
fact that under the present sched-
ule the company needs several
times more business to operate
profitably. Earl CaVanah, chairman
of the meeting, several times urged
concerted drive to obtain new
support for the road and thus make
the present schedule profitable.
Each time he met with negative
replies from rail men Donnatin said:
I'VE would need several times
more revenue, and the business is
just not here. That isn't the solu-
ton.
Interjected into the discussion
was a comment from Donnatin
quieting rumors that abandonment
of the Calexico roundhouse had
been considered.
That is not SO" ne declared. I'VE
have no intention of closing it now
or in the near future. if ever. In
fact, We plan more than $4,000

The meeting, which took place
at the chamber of commerce Of

Cavanah that the new schedule be
held up until valley citizens could
study effects more closely and make
a recommendation Donnatin, speak
ing for the railroad, agreed.
