Secret Service on spot
again in Wallace case
By JAMES CARY
Copley News Service
WASHINGTON - The Secret
Service ... a name that con
jures images of cloaks and dag
gers ... foreign intrigue ...
tracking down assassins.
But that's not the way it is.
And that's not the way it ever
was.
For America’s top protective
agency — once again cata
pulted into the news by the
shooting of Alabama Gov.
George Wallace — was created
on July 5, 1865, as a bureau of
the Treasury to suppress coun
terfeiting.
Now, almost 107 years later,
its duties have spread into
many fields and its activities to
A&P plans
new concept
in Griffin
A&P will present a new food
retailing concept to this area
Tuesday at the grand opening of
its WEO stores (Where
Economy Originates) in Griffin.
“WEO stands for extra low
prices without compromise in
.quality and reaffirms A&P’s
century-old reputation as the
place ‘Where Economy
Originates,’ according to A. L.
Hogewood, vice president of the
company’s Atlanta Division,
serving this area.
“The WEO stores, formerly
traditional supermarkets, will
offer area consumers con
tinuing opportunities to make
substantial savings on their
food purchases,” said Mr.
Hogewood.
“The new approach to food
retailing concentrates more on
faster-moving items,” he said.
“Tray packaging is used and
everything is delivered in unit
trucks. No stamps are given.
The stores are stocked and
equipped to do a greater volume
of sales, thus enabling us to
offer food at lower retail
prices.”
Local WEO stores have six
major departments — meat,
produce, grocery, frozen food,
dairy, and bakery.

many nations, embracing re
sponsibilities ranging from
protecting leading political fig
ures to helping thwart airline
hijackers.
With a $60.5 million budget
and about 1,200 agents, it is be
ing called upon to perform
complex and dangerous securi
ty assignments and feats of in
telligence that may be impossi
ble to achieve.
Yet it is in the direct line of
public fire after a decade made
ignoble by the assassinations of
President John F. Kennedy, his
brother Robert Kennedy and
civil rights leader Martin Lu
ther King — and the attempted
assassination of Wallace.
The agency’s problems stem
from its multiplicity of roles,
the wide prevalence of guns in
America’s very open society,
and a political tradition that
operates well only in direct
contact with crowds and peo
ple.
All of this is an outgrowth of
the wave of counterfeiting that
swept the nation during the
Civil War. At one time it was
estimated one-third of the cur
rency in circulation was coun
terfeit.
The problem of control was
aggravated by the 1,600 state
banks that were authorized to
design and print their own
money at that time, creating a
wide variety of paper bills not
easily recognizable as legiti
mate or bogus.
When establishment of a na
tional currency in 1863 failed to
halt the counterfeiters for long,
the Secret Service was created
to attack the problem.
Attack it did. Its agents sub
stantially reduced the counter
feiting within ten years.
But new duties were quickly
assigned, largely investiga
tions of such organizations as
the Ku Klux Kian. Later the
service was called to look into
the Teapot Dome scandals,
government land frauds, and to
conduct counterespionage dur
ing the Spanish American War
and World War I.
After the assassination of
President William McKinley at
Buffalo, N.Y., in 1901, the ser
vice began to protect American
presidents. Now its full range
of assigned duties is:
1. To protect the president,
members of his immediate
family, the president-elect, the
— Griffin Daily News Monday, May 29,1972
Page 3
vice president, vice president
elect, former presidents and
their wives during their life
time, widows of former presi
dents until death or remar
riage, minor children of former
presidents until they reach 16
and major presidential candi
dates.
2. To detect and arrest coun
terfeiters of coins, currency,
stamps and U.S. securities.
3. To suppress the forgery
and fraudulent negotiation or
redemption of government
checks, bonds and other obliga
tions or securities.
4. To conduct investigations
relating to certain criminal
violations of the Gold Reserve
Act, Silver Purchase Act, Fed
eral Deposit Insurance Act and
Federal Land Bank Act and
says Jade Baggett, a Lawrence
ville oilman and president of
Americans United, “it is trying
to do something indirectly that
we can’t do directly. It’s an in
direct grant to private and
church - related colleges. Just
sending it to the student doesn’t
purify the money.”
“Religious or parochial influ
ence (in colleges) has dwin
dled,” Pay ton says, however.
“The religious element is in
cidental to the educational serv
ices,” adds Dr. Dupree Jordan,
executive director of the Asso
ciation of Private Colleges and
universities in Georgia.
“It does, in its religious tra
dition, give students ethical and
moral values, but efforting to
prejudice judgment or proselyte
from one church to another...
is no longer a function.”
Jordan points out that the law
says no grant can go to a stu
dent studying for the ministry
or full-time religious work.
“This is not aid to private col
leges, it goes to the invidiaual
student,” he added. “There are
many precedents—4l of the 50
states either have in the works
or in operation a program simi
lar to Georgia’s. And there is
a direct parallel to the G.I.
Bill.”
Jordan says that since the
similar legislation.
5. To protect all visiting
heads of foreign states and gov
ernments and protect foreign
embassies in Washington with
a special new force called the
Executive Protective Service.
To carry out these duties,
particularly in providing pro
tection for presidents and pres
idential candidates, the Secret
Service has evolved an elabo
rate intelligence system.
Besides the agents that are
assigned to protect candidates
around the clock — the exact
number is never divulged —
many advance security opera
tions are carried out.
Preparations before a politi
cal rally, for example, include
establishment of an outer pe
rimeter of security. Advance
teams also survey the area,
brief agents of all law enforce
ment agencies involved and
designate emergency evacu
ation routes and hospitals for
use if needed. A command post
is also established.
Grants
(Continued from Page 1.)
voters approved the plan in
1970, it is “virtually invulner
able to court attack.” He said
a similar plan was struck down
by a South Carolina court be
cause that state failed to amend
its constitution first.
“Georgia’s private college
problem is not unique,” Jordan
said. “Independent colleges all
over the country are floating in
seas of red ink. The gap be
tween what a student must pay
at a private school and at a
state school has been frowing
yearly.”
Even such bastions as Har
vard and Yale, he said, “have
been dipping into endowment
funds and have been in the red
for years.”
With the new tuition hike in
effect, it costs about $520 a
year to go to the University of
Georgia, for example, and that
figure varies depending on the
school. The state pays a subsi
dy of roughly $2,000 per year
per full-time student for schools
in the university system. Priv
ate schools, with no such state
aid, sometimes charge many
times that of the state institu
tion. For example, it cdsts $2,400
a year in tuition alone to go to
Emory University in Atlanta
and $1,500 at Mercer University
in Macon.
