''hands with President Kennedy, Br ALVIN SPIVAK United Press International Washington - - If there Is one thing the chief of the iT.S. Secret Service would like people to know, it is that his service really isn't very secret. But with a wry grin. Chief James J. Rowley confessed he has had a tough time get ting this point across par ticularly to the Soviet Secret police. f "As much as I tried to con vince those fellows that we ire not a cloak and dagger operation, they did not be lieve it," Rowley recalled. V He said he made the at tempt at Vienna in June, 1961. when he was head of Young American Grown Prince in By A. K.

I The bridegroom, Crown Prince Palden Thondup Nam fyal, smiled as he leaned over from his throne to help his diminutive brunette bride un wind a long white silk scarf from around her neck to com plete the ancient ceremony in the royal palace. 1 He thus transformed Miss Cooke into Her Highness Prin cess Hope of Sikkim, "consort of the deities." i Princess Hope, an Episco palian, watched with a faint (mile as her second cousin, John H. Humpstone of New York, sealed the match by placing a similar white scarf around the neck of the 39-year-old crown prince.

Unfortunately, the chief said, similar misconceptions exist in other countries - and in the United States. He would like to clear these up. Long Service Rowley, an affable, square jawed Irishman, is a 54-year-old native of New York City's Bronx. He has been with the Secret Service since 1938.

On Aug. 31, 1961, he suc ceeded U. E. Baughman as chief of the service. . "He hasn't lost a president yet," was the biggest tribute paid Rowley when he took his new job. The accolade came from President Kenne dy. Protecting the President is the service's No. 1 job. Cap turing counterfeiters and for gers of government checks and bonds are its other big tasks. Some of the things the serv ice does are secret.

Quietly, but openly. "We try to operate In a quiet and efficient manner, with a minimum of conspicu ousness both in this country legged on a throne next lo her and slightly higher. The groom's father, 70-year-old Maharaja Sir Tashi Nam gyal, sat cross-legged on the highest throne. After the marriage was completed and the crown prince had shown the bride how to sign a civil registra tion book recording the mar riage, she spoke with his three children by his late wife, a Tibetan. Giving Up Citixenship The bride, who met her prince on a vacation trip to India in 1959, has announced she will give up her American citizenship and become a nat uralized Sikkimese "as soon as possible." "I love my husband's peo ple," she said, "and I want to be one of them." She has indicated she will not change her Episcopalian faith, however.

He mused that neither he nor anyone else seems to know why the Secret Service was given its name when it was created 98 year ago. It might have been because ti tles of this sort were the vogue for European police groups or to serve some psy chological purpose in the Civ il War. It was because counter feiting was corrupting the Union's currency - about one third of the greenbacks in cir culation were bogus - that the service was formed. In 1901, after the assassination of Pres ident William McKinley, agents also were assigned as presidential bodyguards. This became their top job. Counterfeiting Rowley is much concerned these days about a steady in crease in counterfeiting and an invasion of this criminal field by hardened racketeers who have formed nationwide rings for printing and pass ing phony bills. "The old - time counterfeit er was a craftsman who pains takingly engraved, by hand, a steel plate," the chief said. "He took six months or more, and when he got to the print ing stage, he couldn't run off anywhere near the extent of bills they can make today - SECTION D Medford MEDFORD, OREGON.

To show how times have changed, Rowley told of a recent case in the Midwest in which counterfeiters ran off more than $800,000 in "funny "money" in two nights after photographing genuine bills and transferring the im ages to "sensitized aluminum plates which you can get for nine cents each." Rowley said the cause prob ably lies in the fact that to a large extent "the door is closed to them on gambling." "They lost a lucrative field in Cuba, and also as a result of the anti racketeering fo cus of the attorney general," he explained. "So they are turning attention to this ac tivity." Rowley's agent seized $3.5 million in counterfeit bills at plants before the "money" could be circulated in the fis cal year that ended June 30, 1962. They picked up anoth er $567,896 from unlucky citr izens who had accepted fake bills - to their personal loss. The chief concedes that is "a drop in the bucket" per centagewise since legal bills totaling $33 billion of all de nominations are in circula tion. "But on the other hand, it's like the story we learned as children about plugging the hole in the dike." he said.

Last year, Rowley asked Congress for 58 additional that they would be for field offices because of a big back log of counterfeiting and for gery cases. He got 30. He made a new appeal just last week. GOP Gripes The theory that nothing succeeds like success can be thrown through a wringer when Rowley requests more agents which means spending more federal money. For, al though he insisted last year that they would be for feild office duty, his request arous ed some Republican gripes that the Kennedy family's travels "were the real cause." Indirectly, they had a point since the field office back logs were a partial result of assigning agents to the first family's activities in this country and abroad. By law, the Secret Service also has expanded its protection for the vice president. Rowley acknowledge in tes timony before a House appro priations subcommittee last year that "we anticipate . . . we will be required to travel with the President to a great er extent than heretofore. But he told United Press International this resulted from "stepped up transporta tion and communications," and that the pattern for to day's travel trend was set by former President Dwight D.

Ken nedy - though Rowley won't comment about him or any other president personally -is on the way to exceeding Ei senhower's mileage record. But he has more advanced craft than Eisenhower had even when he left office. Bogus Bills Presidential trips are not the only problems broad. There also has been counter feiting of U.S. currency in other countries - or passing of bogus U.S. bills abroad by persons cashing in on the ac ceptance of American legal tender just about anywhere. A sorry sidelight of this has been the confiscation of some $27,000 in phony $100 and $20 bills from Cuban refu gees in this country. Most of the spurious currency was printed by a Midwestern ring and shipped to Cuba before the Communist Castro regime took over. The refugees, to have cash on hand in the United States, bought the counterfeit money on the Cu ban black market.

It even uses a machine now to help trap forgers by analyzing their handwriting. But with all this, there still is some simple logic in the art of detection. For example, what denomination of bills should agents - and the pub lic - look for in hunting for counterfeiters? "Five, ten or twenty dol lar bills," Rowley advised. "Tens and twenties, general ly.
