New Police Force,
Highly Trained, Will
Be Set Up at Capitol
Congressional Leaders
Droft Plan in Meeting
With Speaker Martin

A special highly trained police
force, QUILTED in smart uni
forms. will be set up to tighten
security at the Capitol, Speaker
Martin said today.
The plan was put forth at a
meeting Of Democratic and Re-
publican leaders of the House
and Senate in Mr.. Martins Of
flee. 1t stems from a shooting
on the House floor March / when
four Puerto Ricans firing from
| the gallery wounded five Rep
resentatives.
In connection with the same
incident. Representative Hale.
Republican. of Maine, announced
from the House floor that he
would introduce a bill today to
provide the death penalty or life
Imprisonment for assault with a
deadly weapon on any member
in the House or Senate chambers.
Same Size Force.
Mr.. Martin said the new police
force probably will be no larger
than the present 157. but that
special police training would
greatly increase its efficiency. A
security committee of Capitol
employees will work out details
of the plan.
The Speaker said it probably
will be next year before the new
force can go into operation. Leg
iSlative requirements must be
met, he pointed out. and a period
of at least three months will be
needed to train successful ap-
plicantS.
The congressional leaders
turned down a proposal to build
a bullet-proof glass Enclosure
around the House gallery, and
another plan which would have
the Capitol guarded by District
policemen.
