FOURTEEN THE SALEM. OIIIO. NEWS TUESDAY, DECEMBER 14 1948 Near Perfect Bogus $10, $20 BiUs Circulate, T-Men Warn By DOUGLAS LARSEN WASHINGTON Every bank In the U. S. a snecial warning from the U.S.

Treasury department to be on the alert for a possible flood of almost perfect counterfeit money during the Christmas shopping rush. The tip-off on what could be the biggest and most expert counterfeit ring ever to operate in the U.S. came in New York and Baltimore recently with the discovery of thousands of bogus 10s circulation. One of the bills, which have been identified as coming from the same press, was arrested in Baltimore. Other passers are expected to be picked up soon, too.

But the passers part of the ring which is printing the money NEW PACK! BULK GLAZED FRUIT CAKE MIX 49 lb- NEW CROP! BULK PITTED DATES, 29 lb. DUBBS MARKET and probably even know who the printers are, according to a Secret Service spokesman. The ring can't be codsidered broken until the actual printing plant is discovered, the engraving plates destroyed and the key members of the gang arrested. A nation-wide manhunt is on for them. The fake bills are of excellent quality.

In both cities where they have been discovered, many of them first passed through the hands of a dozen or more experienced money- handlers and detected until they reached Federal Reserve banks. The green on the backs Is lighter than on the good bills. The outlines of the pictures of the men clear-cut. The paper of the bogus bills has a slightly different little softer. Extremely clever crayon marks have been put on the paper to simulate the grain of the real paper.

The Treasury I has sent detailed deschiptlons of the faults of the counterfeit bills along the serial numbers of them to all the banks. According to the Secret Service I experts, the Christmas shopping is the best time of the year for passing bad money. A lot of temporary, inexperienced clerks are working during the holidays. Cashiers in the big stores are usually rushed so that they have time to examine the money as carefully as they usually do. And the tre- I mendous volume of money in circulation means that a fake bill gets around several times, prob- before it reaches a bank and be detected.

Thus the first I passer can seldom be traced. Even I the banks are rushed and ex- the money as closely as usual. i The warning to the banks also AMERICA'S MOST APPRECIATED CANDY Mrs. Stevens' CHRISTMAS CHOCOLATES. 4-Lb.

Counterfeiting in general has reached a new high since the war. In the fiscal year bogus bills worth $39,171 were discovered to be in circulation. In 1947, bogus bills worth $246,176 were seized, and during fiscal 1948 the figure jumped to $3,094,230. Part of the reason for the Increase, Secret Service men say. is that there appears to be a great lack of cash In the underworld these days.

Crime In the U.S. is away down generally. And practically all of the black market operations which flourished during the war and Just after have disappeared. As a result, crooks who are finding It hard to earn a dishonest dollar have taken to printing them. The gang that prints the money usually get more than six to eight cents on the dollar for them.

With the demand currently up, however, the price is probably up, too, according to the experts. The first sale is usually in large batches to dealers or "distributors." The stuff might change hands a half-dozen times, with a small profit on each transaction, before it finally gets into the hands of a passer. Passers pay about 30 cents on the dollar for it. They stand to make the biggest profit, and also take the biggest risk. Journal Entries Margaret Louise Lechner vs Kenneth Lee Lechner; property settlement and agreement as to custody and support.

Yet to meet your increasing demands, Sohio is now investing another $100 million in a three-year program of adding more tacilifies for exploration, drilling, production, transportation, refining and delivery in Ohio of gasoline and oil. For a medium-sized company selling mainly in a single stare, this'is a huge investment. Our earnings are not enough to pay for alt this, we have had to borrow more money, and have had to sell additional stock to provide the additional funds needed. he hr tit.
