Capitol's busiest policeman. Washington, D.C., April 27. Besides being an arm of the law a Capitol policeman has to also act as an infromation bureau. Frank Foley, officer on duty at the entrance of the Senate office building from 8-4, kept a record today of the number of questions asked him. At the end of his day's hitch the total showed 1,568 questions asked, and answered correctly and with a smile, if we must believe Mr. Foley. Miss Mildred Aikten, of Brooklyn, N.Y., is the pretty sightseer in this picture, receiving directions from officer Foley, 4271937
