The Beatles left Portland after their concert. With the Electra out of commission, they flew in a Constellation which lengthened the flight so they did not arrive in Los Angeles until a few hours before dawn. They rented a house at 2850 Benedict Canyon, Beverly Hills, but in fewer than ten hours the press and radio stations were giving out the supposedly secret address over the air. While The Beatles relaxed by the pool, the Beverly Hills police force had their work cut out keeping fans from invading their privacy. A dozen police were on duty plus a group of Burns Agency security men.
