Protecting Kennedys
CV.Z. Press Assn.—Copyright) WASHINGTON, Nov. 9. Congress, after a brief debate has voted to extend Secret Service protection for Mrs John F. Kennedy and her children for another 16 months. “I am not aware that the beneficiary in this case is exactly destitute,” Mr H. R. Gross, of lowa, said before the House sent the bill to the Senate by a vote of 301 to 11 today. “I wonder how long the taxpayers are going to be called upon to provide protection she herself might provide?” Mr Gross asked. Mrs Martha W. Griffiths, of Michigan, retorted that the nation was providing the protection “because she is the widow of a President we could not protect because these are the children of a President we could not protect.”
