To be Jewishly educated is mere than the acquisition of knowledge; it is a moving forward from knowledge to deed.” Through his manhood and spiritual integrity the Hebrew can make a vital con‘ribution to American life, Mack declared “Here 1s 1 world that cenies justice, that condemns peace, that has re- turned to the very cult of power sgainst which the prophets inveighed.

Storm clouds hung over the land and Civil War was im- minent. The new President was op- posed to having any sort of a guard, but Congress was insistent and four policemen were put on duty at the White House. In the meantime a plain clothes bodyguard had been as- signed. This man was Allan Pinke! ton. who afterward became nationally prominent as a detective and as the father of the present United States Secret Service Guard of 65 During War. With the growth of the country, and to meet changing conditions, this little police force at the White House was increased from time to time until the World War days of the Wil- son edministration, when it consisted of 60 privates and 5 officers. Besides this guard. there was an additional detail of soldiers on the outside of the White House grounds At the present time this police force is composed of 43 privates, l captain, 1 lieutenant and 3 sergeants. This number 1s looked upon as inadequate aend Congress likely will provide for an increase of 12 privates, making a total of 60 officers and privates. This was the increase asked by Capt. Clarence L. Dalrymple, in com- mand of this force. and recommended to Congress by William Moran, chief of the United States Secret Service, under whose supervision the White House police operate. Favorable com- mittee reports have been made and | the increase seems to be assured. 17 Serve Each Shift. In asking for these extra men, Chief Moran emphasized the fact that with the present force it is impossible to have more than 17 privates and three officers on duty at one time, due to the three shifts of 1t hours each. With these men distributed about the 18 acres comprising the White House Grounds and about the various en- trances to the White House and Exe- cutive Office, as well as insic> the ‘White House, was shown that the number of men available is insuffi- cient Moreover, with the rebuild- ing of the Executive Office, which changed the position of the Presi- dent’s office, and the more recent installation of the police call box system, similar to the one used by the | Metropolitan police, more men are needed. Although there has been some sor of a police force at the White House since Lincoln’s time, it was not until 1930 that there came into existen a real White House police, in name as well as independence. For eight years prior to that time the force, when it was composed entirely of men detailed fsom the Metropolitan Police Force, was under the supervi- sion of the officer of public buildings and grounds, who always was prin- cipal military aide to the President. When this force was created into a separate and independent body. it was provided with a distinctive uni- form, dignified and practical but not quite as picturesque and colorful as the gay uniforms worn by guards to some of the European rulers or even some American State Governors. After the police guard at the White House was started in a small way un- der Lincoln, it was not until Cleve- land's first administration that its size assumed proportions entitling it really tc be termed a police force. There were 12 men on duty when Cleveland took office, but he soon afterward had this increased to 25 President KcKinley reduced the force to 10 when he became President. but during the Spanish-American War it was deemed advisable to increase the force to 30. It was due to this step that Capt. Dalrymple started his long career at the White House. He was patrolling a beat in the so-called “Swamp-poodle” section when he was detailed to the White House in 1898 This force again was trimmed down during Taft’s administration, but with the outbreak of the World War, it was increased to 58.
