Police Guard Cardinal—
By Barrett McGurn
Of The Herald Tribune Staff
New York's Prancis Cardinal Spellman likes to walk
alone in midtown Manhattan, a small, white-haired round-
cheeked figure in black, tipping his dark fedora every block
or so to the passersby who recognize and greet him.
It was Just about the same as usual yesterday at.1 p. m.
when the 73-year-old prelate stepped out of his 50th @t.
residence to go slowly north on Madison Ave. ti # drizzle.
It was almost the sane except for two things, In déference
to the rain the Cartipal himched upter a hig-umhrelte.
And half s block batk, pretending to be window- ~spopping
and then catching up by darting across streets against the
red lights, was a busty aix-foot Irish-American “tail.”
The “tall” was a New York City detective on bodyguard
duty.
The bodyguard will stay with the Cardinal probably

Catholic history. Qn ne cleo
The “tail” was placed on the Cardimar yesterday after
6 1:37 a. m. bombing of his residence which duplicated In
Inany ways the two bomb offenses in July and September
in St. Peter's Basilica, one of Roman Catholicism's holiest
places, The Cardinai‘s residence ts back-to-back with
St. Patrick's Cathedral, the most famous place of worship
of the 40 million-member American Roman Catholic
Church. ——
Police worked on the theory that a fanatic, reading
the news of the St. Peter's bomb attempts, had decided
same here. He didwzaein @ clumsy ma
