Two major tremors-the re-

affair which could have
brought the Communist world
and its camp followers into a
hopeless situation vis-a-vis

settled in favor Of the Reds.
The terror which the USSR
inflicted on the Hungarians
last fall aroused the indigna-
ton of people around the
world. There was a clamor
for action against the Red
legions which used tanks and
artillery against men. women
and children who wanted to
lead a free life.
In keeping with the free

Speeding Presidential Cars

But automobiles aren't the
only risks. In 1912 when VIII
son was presidential candi-
date someone decided to run at
a speed of 80 miles an hour the
special train to which his pri-
vate car with newsmen aboard
was attached at Harrisburg,
on the way to Trenton. N. j.
and the cars in those days were
wooden. too.
President William Howard
Taft used to go far beyond the
speed limits III his automobile
or rather the Secret Service
car did-and IL was hard to
keep up, The same thing has
happened with other Presi-
dents.
Presidents travel a good deal.
President Franklin d. Roose-
velt averaged annually 1856
days away from Washington
and President Taft 131 days.
President Eisenhower ranks
third with an annual average
of 125 days. Until recently
there was little publicity about
presidential absences and, of
course, during the war Roose-
velt often went to Hyde Park,
but 1t was considered desirable
by the security folks not to
have any mention made of his
goings and comings. The press
willingly co-operated.
The answer to the problem
is simple. Seventy miles an
hour on road that has been
cleared is not risky in a
modern automobile. But when
ever a President travels there
should be a motorcycle escort
to clear the way ahead with
police assigned to ride along
side the entire motorcade so
the newsmen too will be pro-
tected.
On an April night in 1945,
this writer was standing on
Constitution avenue waiting
for what he thought would be
a slowmoving procession. Police
held all traffic at the inter-
secting streets. Soon a motor
hearse carrying the body OF
Franklin d. Roosevelt whisked
by at so miles an hour-long
in advance of the scheduled
departure of the funeral train
for Hyde Park. 1t was FDR's
last ride in Washington, but
for some mysterious reason it,
too. exceeded the speed limit.

Risk for Chief Executive Is Minimized,
But Peril Exists for Pursuing Newsmen

Letters from cranks are re-

Looking back over the
years when this correspondent

seem as if the biggest dangers

them.

the League of Nations, he
stopped at Denver, Colo. to
make a speech. Certain cars
were made available to the
press for a trip outside the city.

assigned to a car with two other
newsmen. couldn't go along on
that ride. staying behind to
investigate a delay in one of
his dispatches at the telegraph

Presidential caravans or
motorcades always travel too
fast and because of it there
have been bad accidents in
the past. Maybe the latest in
cident will focus attention on
a reform that has long been
overdue - how to protect
the newspapermen who must
travel with a President.
For the risk III fast travel
is not with the President. He
usually has a motorcycle
escort to clear the traffic with
a siren. but often the news
men who are in the autos be-
hind are not given the needed
escort of motorcycles to travel
alongside their cars.
The Secret Service usually
has a good reason for exceed
ing the speed limit with a
presidential car. Sometimes it
is related to the desire to get
quickly through city streets
which have been blocked off
and where all traffic has been
temporarily halted. Sometimes
it has to do with fears that
a crank may take a potshot
at the procession. and fast
moving cars are harder to hit.
Sometimes presidential chauf-
feurs must travel fast when
it is really necessary. and they
form habit which sticks to
them even when it isn't neces-
sary. The Secret Service car
sometimes leads the process
sion or provides a driver who
sets the pace. All the other
cars feel they must keep up
with the leading car.
The problem of the Secret
Service to protect the life of a
President is no easy one. 1t
has many ramifications and
all that the public knows is
that Presidents have been as
sassinated and in another case
