Park Police Bill Sparks Utah Senator's Push and Lobby War
Senator William H. King of Utah introduced a bill to shift park police duties to the District police, prompting a lobbying blitz to pigeonhole the measure. The bill would shift authority from the officer in charge of public buildings and grounds to the District police, drawing White House guards into the dispute. A park police official accused guards at the White House of waging a concerted campaign to protect their jobs, while Sherrill urged replacing White House policemen with United States police, a plan not yet advanced.
