Engraving Probe Made Public

Washington, - Wholesale duplica-
ton of Liberty bonds of every issue
since 1918 in the bureau of engraving
and printing and the implication of
treasury officials are included in the
startling charges made by Charles
B. Brewer, special assistant to the
attorney general, in suit filed in
the District of Columbia supreme
court. Brewer sued after he had
charged the department of justice
with attempting to seize the evidence
he had collected at the personal re-
quest of President Coolidge and the
late President Harding. He said he
refused to surrender the documents
to the department fearing they would
be discredited.

Representative King of Illinois Wants
Grand Jury Action At
Once to Clean Up
the Treasury

Westinghouse that Fl
kantic bond fraud has been uncover
ed by Charles b. Brewer, special as
sistant attorney general, Progress
sives in congress met Friday to plan
campaign to clean up the treas
ury."
After examining evidence of dup
LEGATION of Liberty bonds, Wedne sday
volunteer committee of Progressives
was appointed to see that the whole
affair gets a public airing. This
committee composed of Representa-
tives Woodruff, Michigan; LETTERS,
Alabama and LaGuardia of New
York, will decide whether Brewers
evidence should be presented to a
grand jury at once, or whether
congressional investigation will pre-
cede court action.
Representatives King, Illinois, who
has followed Brewers investigation
for more than a year and now has
the keys to the safe deposit vault
where tile evidence is stored, is OPP
posed to a congressional investiga-
ton. He said it is more likely to
result in white wash" and "cov-
ering up process" than getting at
thief acts"
From the preliminary eXamina-
ton of Brewers evidence" King
said, 81 am convinced that there
is something rotten in the treas
ury and the bureau of engraving
and printing. We must clean it up
if the people of this country are
to continue to have any confidence
in their government. 1 think that
grand jury action should be taken
at once"
King said that Brewer had the
names of several high officials who
are involved in the bond duplica-
ton. These names will be withheld
from the public until time comes
for grand jury action" he said.
Brewer claims to have evidence of
81 100000 fraudulent bonds and King
believes this represents but small
part of the systematic looting Of
the treasury that has been going on
since war time.
Representative Nelson, Wisconsin,
leader of the Progressive group, who |
visited the bank vault and examined |
Brewers evidence, said the treasury's |
claim that duplication of bonds re-
suited from the jamming of the
machine "would not hold
water"

holes. In the second time around
Walter played the first six holes with
an average of four, but he went to
pieces on the seventh or eighth,
making total of az. Brophy played
80 the first time around and AZ in
the second.
The day was a dark and great
