A-ll Town Talk, Alexandria-Pineville, Wednesday. September 10, 1975 Sears IC. Oil Todays Extra Secret Service Slipped In Ford's Protection on Steel BeltRadials Save 25 ,.30 Quantities Limited fTown Talk fanlral WASHINGTON Prodded by the investigation into the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, the Secret Service in the intervening dozen years has incorporated many changes into its system of protecting presidents. Yet despite galloping growth since (it's 450 agents then are now 1,380, it's annual $5.8 million budget then now exceeds $85 million), despite millions spent on new technology, inducing a computer that maintains names of 47,000 potential dis-ruptors or assassins of a president, despite stronger Liaison with local law enforcement agencies and with the FBI on potential trouble makers all of it could not prevent a potential assassin, gun in hand, from approaching within 2 feet of a president last Friday.

Violent History In addition, the accused potential assassin, Lynette Alice Fromme, has a history of violence, belongs to the Charles Manson Cult, indirectly threatened the life of the president in a newpaper interview, and has twice been accused of murder. Despite all this, the name of Lynette Alice Fromme was nowhere among the 47,000 the Secret Service now considers as potential threats. "How this one slipped I don't know," says Dwayne Keyes, the California U.S. attorney who is handling the case against Fromme. "It's difficult to comprehend now the (Manson) group is frightening." Not that law enforcement agencies in Sacramento, where the incident occurred, where unaware of the presence of Fromme and others of the cult organized by Charles Manson, who is now serving a life term in San Quentin prison for the mass murder of actress Sharon Tate and six others in 1969.

"You can't hardly live in Sacramento and not know the- Manson girls live in the area," said Douglas V. Duncan, the Secret Service's Sacramento station chief. "But we had no information that they posed any threat to the president," Duncan said. The FBI knew about them, too. It had never investigated them, station chief Paul Young said, because it had no rea son to.

They had never threatened the president to the FBI's knowledge, Young said, so "we had no investigative interest in (Fromme) whatsoever." "We saw the two feature articles in the Bee and the Union, one in February and one in July," he said, "with pictures of the defendant. They were living like nuns, peace-loving, that sort of stuff." Neither Duncan nor Young saw, before Friday's attempted assassination, an article the Associated Press transmitted from Los Angeles on July quoting Fromme as saying: "If Nixon's reality wearing a new Ford face continues to run the country against the law, homes will be bloodier than the Tate-LaBianca houses and Mylai put together." Nor did the Secret Service and FBI agents witness the unused television film in which Fromme expounded on violence. The Secret Service headquarters in Washington was noncommunicative on why it did not see the AP story. Spokesman John W. Warner Jr.

would only repeat, under questioning, that "this person was not on record as a threat. We had no information concerning her as a threat." Fromme clearly, from her published statement, would qualify as such under guidelines the Secret Service drew up with the help of Warren Commission staffers who investigated the Kennedy assassination. Those guidelines were circulated to the FBI and other law enforcement and investigate agencies to try to solve the problem of some agencies' knowing about dangerous people and not informing the Secret Service about them. Imaginary Grievances The Secret Service, in the guidelines, asked among other things for information about "persons who insist upon personally contacting high government officials for the purpose of redress of imaginary grievances, etc." (which Fromme had done repeatedly over the imprisonment of Manson, whom she reportedly regards as her god). "Any person who makes oral or written statements about high government officials in the following catagories: (1) threatening statements, (2) irrational statements, and (3) abusive statements." 25 AR78-13 Whitehall and old tire plus 82.02 F.E.T.

Civil Dist. Judge Melvin Duran said this week that the city had no new evidence against Joseph Marcello since it granted, then rescinded, a permit in 1974. The City Council cannot "rehash use the same information again year after year," Duran said. Marcello, who took the Fifth Amendment against self-incrimination at the Council hearing, testified briefly. His lawyer said police vice squad information that Joseph Marcell was "an underboss, lieutenant or ranking member of the organized crime family in Louisian-a" was based on hearsay.

He appealed to the court.

Marcello denied he ever was involved in criminal activities, and said he had no knowledge that such groups as the Cosa Nostra and the Mafia even exist. He acknowledged he was connected with Nola Printing which he described as a firm that "put out sports formation." Asked if the company's true business was not illegal -distribution of horse racing data, Marcello replied: "I was not aware of that." Judge Duran was not impressed. In overriding the City Council, Judge Duran said, "in the French Quarter, Mr. Marcello's reputation is established as good. There is no evidence to the contrar-y." nycares!
