WASHINGTON. April Behind
closed doors secret service agents,
auditors and counters today began the
investigation to fix responsibility for
the alleged duplication of government
bonds at the Bureau Of Eneryiug and
Printing
For the first time in history The
big government printery and its force
of more than 5000 employees viii lie
idle while tho investigation is on
Nearly two weeks will be consumed
in the inventory and probe OF the al.

the dismissal OF Director WilmeJh and
thirty odd bureau heads
While frankly concerned over what,

cials are keeping a lookout 10 sup
press any unduly alarmist reports.
Holders of government bonds need
have no fear of losing anything Dr.

sury officials pointed out that lhe

bonds issued since there is no method
OF difierentiating between those which
lawfully issued and others which may

1t was learned from unofficial
sources today that much evidence oil
duplication has come to light
Most il is said to have occurred
during the war period when three
eight-hour shifts We're kept constant

coo Of war bonds issued by the
Treasury.
The new evidence tends TO show
that the amount OF Liberty bond du.
plication was even surpassed during
the latter part of the war when the
Victory bonds were being printed.
According to reliable information the
vast amount OF war issues caused
the work OF the bureau to fan be-
hind the demand for the Victory
bonds. As a result this issue was
brought out in comparatively small
sections.
That in some instances these sec.
tons had been duplicated in their

The ease with which these dupli-
cations could be effected has come
