Washington, May 1.-THE re-
port OF the special treasury COM
mittee which made an inventory
of the supplies and equipment of
the bureau OF printing and en-
craving following the recent re-
organization of the bureaus per-
sonnel, completed today is under-
stood to be a substantial vindica-
tion of the declaration by treas
ury officials that no material out
put of Illegal bond, note or stamp
issues had taken place within re-
cent years.
The report which is expected TO
go to Secretary Mellon this after
noon will record. however, that
discrepancy OF some fifty sheets
was found when a check was made
of the special paper used in the
bureau for printing of bonds and
notes.
Since the discrepancy occurred
within the period covered by the
last four years of operation of the
bureau and was not confined 20
any one section OF the Institutions,
officials held that the missing ma
terial would not have been suffi-
cient. even IL diverted to Illegal
purposes to have given foundation
to the charges that the country
had been flooded with spurious

The reply rejects the mixed
tribunal system proposed by the

construction without the mixed
