CONGRESS UNDER GUARD
WASHINGTON.—It has been done
so quietly that only a few officials
know it but congress now is being
guarded by the most elaborate po­
lice system since World war days.
The legislators arc protected almost
as carefully ns the President.
The first step was taken last fall
when a detail of G-men and detec­
tives was assigned to reinforce the
Capitol's regular police force, which
ts made up chiefly of patronage ap­
pointees, students working their way
through school. Then in the spring a
squadron of metropolitan uniformed
police was sent to the Hill—making
a total of 250 blue-coats and plain­
clothes men guarding 531 senators
- and representatives.
Last week, still another protective
measure was taken in the form of a
set of drastic regulations under
which:
The Capitol is closed to the
public daily at 4:30. except when
congress is in session, and ad­
mittance is only by special
cards.
Guards are stationed at the
subway entrances of the senate
and house wings to scrutinize
everyone going in and out and
