100000 to Maintain

100000 TO Maintain
To maintain the grounds and
staff, the mansions domestic
chores require u persons at a
cost of 100000 annually. This
job has now been shifted to
the National Park Service.
The cost of protecting the
President and his house runs
in excess of 50 million a year
Last spring Congress increased
the ITO White House policemen
to $50 officers and men who
also will guard the adjacent
Executive Office building. Rep
resentative Gross, Republican
of Iowa, vainly objected, con-
tending the new policemen
might be used to take care Of
"the horses presently parked
at the White House"
The Secret Service declines
to make public the size Of its
White House detail, but it's es-
timated to cost about 81 mil
lion a year In addition to the
$1.3 million for the policemen
Jet travel adds to the cost
Chief James Rowley told q
House committee this year
since the jets speed gives the
Secret Service less time to
switch its men from city to
city. Mr.. Rowley said about 20
advance men are needed for q
presidential jet trip now In
contrast to four or five in the
old days. He requested an ex-
ira 100000 a year for Secret
Service travel, but Congress al

along the northern portions of
the island. Between the reef
and shoreline is a shallow,
green lagoon, protected from
wind and waves by the reef.
White sandy beaches border
ing the lagoon offer opportuni-
ties for swimming and skin
diving. Frequent breaks in the
reef afford safe passage into
the lagoon for small native
sailing craft which transport
visitors.
The seaward front Of the
barrier reef consists of a solid
formation Of staghorn coral
which shelves off steeply into
clear waters 35 feet deep with
visibility over 100 feet. Parrot,
angel, trigger, and four-eyed
butterfly fishes and grunts, are
among the common forms of
fish Astounding.
The island houses a rookery
of frlgate or man-of-war birds
as well as numerous %pelicans.
Protection by the National
Park Service within the Monu
ment also will contribute to
the perpetuation of the green
turtleswhich is threatened by
over-exploitation.
DR.. John E. Randall, marine
biologist, now associated with
the University of Puerto Rico,
investigated the biological fea-
lures of the underwater areas
adjacent to Buck Island for
the National Park Service. In
his report, DR.. Randall con-
cludes from his own diving
experience in Atlantic, Carib-
bean and Pacific waters) that
the barrier reefs of Buck Is
land contain the most beauti-
full formations he has observed.

For a while it was possible

Then the East Germans dou-

In any case, Mrs. Werner is
