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

diminutive brunette bride un

Cooke into Her Highness Prin

"The Russian police with
Khrushchev just looked at me
with quizzical smiles as if to
say, 'who are you spoofing?' "
Rowley added.
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. He
went with its White House

not be trapped without fre
quent use of undercover agent
and informers.
Works in Open
But in guarding the Presi
dent and his family, or the
vice president, and in a multi
tude of activities, including
a persistent campaign to ed
ucate the public about coun
terfeiting, the service oper
ates in the open. Quietly, but

The groom's father, 70-year-old
Maharaja Sir Tashi Nam

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.
Princess Hope's family was
represented at the wedding by
Mrs. Sclden Chapin, hec co
guardian and wife of the for
mer U. S. Ambassador to Iran;
and her cousins, Mr. and Mrs.

and abroad," Rowley said
This is a democracy, and
therefore we cannot in any
way be overbearing or ar
rogant." 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 -

even if he had the best print

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.
"We can't grow lax, because

stability and integrity of our

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.
Eisenhower when he began
using jet planes. -

comment about him or any
other president personally -is
on the way to exceeding Ei

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.

Secret Service has added
mechanization and electronics
to its enforcement and pro

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
