INCREASE SOUGHT
BY SECRET SERVICE
Larger Volume of Work Requires
More Men, Chief Moran
z! Informs Mellon.

An increase in the field personnel
of the secret service has been recon-
nnended to Secretary Mellon by Chief
William H. Moran.
More men are needed, he said yes
terday. because of the increasing
volume of secret service work due
TO enforcement of the soldier bonus
and the Federal farm loan act and
investigation of counterfeiting and
forging of Government transporta-
tion vouchers.
Lately. Chief Moran reported, the
service has been called on from all
parts of the country 10 run down
alterations of veterans adjusted serv-
ice certificates, which have been
changed to obtain immediate loans
In some cases. he said, the altera-
tions were due TO the veterans need
for money beca use of destitute circum-
stances and in others TO a desire for
funds for Christmas.
Another new source of ANNOYANCE
TO the secret service comes from the
increased cOunterfeiting of America n
notes in foreign countries. The
counterfeiters, the chief said. prey on
the ignorance Of foreigners of Amer
ican money, and in numerous cases
they have passed crudely raised one
dollar bills for ne-hundred- dollar
notes. While the service cannot take
direct action. due to the prohibition
of operating in foreign countries. an
effort is being made to run down the
international counterfeiters through
a. cooperative exchange of informa-
ton with foreign secret service.
