Pleads Guilty in
Theft Of $1,000
Most Of Money Found;
500 Is Discovered
Secreted in Home

Baldwin K. Alexander. 38, colored
employe of the Bureau of Engraving
and Printing, pleaded guilty when
arraigned today before United States
Commissioner Needham C. Turnage
on a charge of removing and secret
ing Government notes amounting to
$1,000. Bond was set at $1,000.
Secret Service agents said they
had recovered almost all of the
money in new $40 bills which Alex
ander admitted stealing in the first
of such thefts in the Bureau in 20
years. Alexander, who lives in the
100 block of Adams street NV,
had been employed at the Bureau
for the last II years as a skilled
laborer.
More than s700 of the new money
was recovered last night, the agents
said, when Alexander led them back
to his home after a futile trip to
Baltimore.
Bills Secreted in Chimney.
He had told them, the agents said,
that the balance of the money had
been hidden in a Baltimore sewer.
At Baltimore last night the search
uncovered none of the money, and
Alexander then admitted it was not
there.
Returning to Washington. they
said, they found the bills secreted
in a chimney IN his home. The
major portion Of the bills, alleged
to have been passed. also have been
recovered, the agents said.
Hidden In Clothing.
The Secret Service said Alexander
told them he had hidden nine uncut
sheets, each containing II bills, in
his clothing when he left work Mon
day night. The money had been
hanging in the drying room and had
not been imprinted with the green
numbers and seal. the final step in
the printing process
Later, Alexander is reported to
have tried to pass one of the bills
at a downtown cigar store. The
clerk noticed the absence of the seal
and would not accept the bill He
reported the incident to the Secret
Service, describing the man who
had attempted to pass the money,
and later picked Alexander's photo
graph from a file of bureau en-
ployes, agents said

The Army Air Corps Is testing the
latest of several new-type planes
whose outstanding military virtues
are ability to fly slowly and to take

spaces.
The War Department said yester-

model YO-50 craft made by the Bel
lanca Aircraft Corp, Newcastle,
Del. Flight tests are being made at
Newcastle.
Liaison planes are designed for
short-range flights to establish close
contact between field headquarters
in wartime operations. They must
be able to approach the slow hover

youths who would not even talk
when I spoke to them in German.
They just sat silently chewing Aus
tralian bully beef and biscuits.
Now the bombing is over. 1t was
a strange sound, too. I have heard
it many times in Albania and here.
1t is the sound of sheep bells. Peas
ants and their f1ocks are wandering
in and around the battle area. May

have gone up into the hills until
they can come down again. But one
peasant is clinging to the only tang
ible connection he has with being

or not battle, he will stay there.
The bells have just the opposite
effect to stray and intermittent rife
bullets. They might even be enough
