Countefeiting Rises
After Wartime Slump,
Secret Service Says

Money counterfeiting, which took
a slump during the war years, is
getting back to prewar levels, ac-
cording to the Secret Service.
James J. Maloney, chief Of the
Secret Service, said a considerable
portion Of the recent increase has
been from European sources. Bogus
bills, usually IN large denominations,
are brought to this country by sea-
men and refugees. mostly innocent
victims of black market money ex-
changes.
Mostly of Poor Quality.
The bills are Of poor quality, Mr..
Maloney said, and seem to be de-
signed to fool people unfamiliar
with American currency. The SIM
ilarity Of paper and engraving in
dicates that the bogus currency
comes from one source, he said, be-
lieved to be somewhere In West
ern Europe.
China, which once was the source
of many well-counterfeited bills, has
given the Secret Service little trou-
BILE in recent months, indicating
that the ring there has been broken
up, Mr.. Maloney said.
In report to the Treasury De-
partment, the Secret Service re-
yealed that q total Of $256 900 In
counterfeit money was seized during
the last fiscal year, which ended
June 30. of which 10000 was made
abroad. This Is more than three
times as much as in the previous
fiscal year, when only $75,000 wa.
seized.
There were 81 arrests and 50 con-
victions for counterfeiting in the
last fiscal year. Mr.. Maloney pointed
out that Of the money seized, only
about $4,000 actually had passed
into circulation.
Warning on Leave Bonds.
The Secret. Service also investi-
gated nearly 100000 worth Of
forged Government bonds and
Treasury checks during the past
year, for which about 800 persons
were sent to Jail. Mr.. Maloney en-
phasized the danger Of heavy losses
to banks from forged terminal leave
bonds which become payable In cash
starting September 2. He urged that
banks request veterans to present
discharge certificates when oashing
the bonds.
Mr.. Maloney said that the present
increase in counterfeiting represents
a return to prewar levels after a
wartime slump. In recent years
there has been a scarcity of mate
rials, he said, and those who might
have been engaged in making or
passing" the bogus currency have
been gainfully employed or in the
armed services.

ment in spite of his failures, and hi
Is retained in his position by the
play of outside forces" -. .. ...z
Denies Deep Dark Plot" ez,s' :
The. wartime Prime Minister took
the floor after Mr.. Morrison said
the powers sought under Mr.. Attlee',
emergency program were "appro-
pirate and necessary" and not "a
deep dark plot to conduct a social
revolution"
Swinging from an attack on the
government-requested legislation to
one on the government itself, Mr.,
Churchill asserted:
1.-THE main cause of at least halt
our difficulties has arisen from the
partisan policies and administrative
incompetence" of the Attlee regime
Life under the Socialist govern
ment is worse, far worse, for the
country than it ever was under the
full blast and severity Of war;" Mr.
Churchill continued.
Except for bloodshed, all the evils
CT war-and worse-are going on in
our country today. Do you deny
that?" he cried.
Shouts of denial rose from the
government front benches, but Mr..
Churchill declared that Conserva-
tives have no confidence in the gov
ernment's ability.
1--WE find 1t difficult to trust their
sense of fair play" he said.
Labor Rallies to Leaders.
Mr.. Churchill gave notice last
night that he intended to enter the
fray himself and that his Conserva-
tive opposition would fight to. beat
down the governments request fol-
what he called unlimited and un-
defined powers" for dealing with
the current economic squeeze.
Almost Immediately, however, the
big Labor majority rallied behind
it's leadership and in test vote
taken on a routine adjournment
motion-overrode Mr.. Attlee's crit
les, 318 to ITO.
Nevertheless, discomfort was said
to be brewing within the Labor
Party and morning newspapers said
100 La5orites, contending that Mr..
Attlee had failed to give courageous
leadership and that his plans were
far from adequate, had demanded
that the Prime Minister hear their
complaints at caucus next week.
Nineteen leaders Of the party'S
left wing, in letter to the party's
organ, the Daily Herald, said the
Attlee program "has dismayed
many members of the Parliament
tary Labor Party" and the Daily
Mirror, which recently called for
Mr.. Attlee's resignation, said:
THE Nation continues to lack a
real plan. Still more 1t lacks a
real leader"

|$t,S1s,&3 Increase
In Estimated Surplus
Twill Aid Maryland
BY the Associoied Press

ANNAPOLIS, Aug. 8.-Sunshine
broke for the first time today on
the Lane administration financial
outlook when Controller James j.
Lacy announced general fund sur
plus of $13,785,171.19..
The surplus was that of July 1
and it means, Mr.. Lacy explained,
the State will have $1,87S,843.62
more than previously estimated for
the next two years.
The estimated surplus at the time
the Governors budget was prepared
was 81, ,9o6, ,327.57.
Mr.. Lacy said the increase was
due to two major factors, a $1,182,-
432.81 rise in receipts and $500, ,430. .96
in reversions. A third factor was a
bookkeeping change In the con-
troller's accounts.
Income Tax Increase Largest.
He pointed out that income taxes
showed the biggest increase, Offset
ting q decrease in alcoholic beverage
income. ...
The figures Mr.. Lacy announced
today are preliminary so far as a
general breakdown of the financial
picture is concerned. They were
prepared for submission to the
Board of Public Works yesterday,
but the item was not reached on the
Agendum.
The surplus will be factor in re-
lieving the hard pressed State A.
nances. A cut of 81 1000 900 in the
overall budget for each fiscal year
of the biennium, recommended by
the Legislature, is being carried out
by the Budget Bureau.
The State general fund budget for
the 1948 fiscal year is $l14,648,170
and for 1949 $118, 1922.
Surplus Needed, Lane Says.
Throughout this years session Of
the Legislature, the Lane admins
tration pushed for passage of addi-
tional revenue measures, including
the 2 per cent sales and use tax
measure designed to raise about
SIS, 100000. Proceeds from this levy
are devoted almost exclusively to
schools.
Mr.. Lane argued that all of the
sales tax money, plus the surplus,
would be needed for higher teacher
salaries, expanded road construc-
tion and distribution of funds to
localities under the Sherbow Com
mission report.
Sales tax opponents attempted to
substitute higher levies on liquor,
beer and corporations, but these
efforts failed.

300 a Year Escape
From District School
|For Feeble Minded

The lack of adequate security
facilities at the District Training
School for the Feeble Minded at
Laurel, Md, results in the escape Of
an average of 800 potential menaces
to society each year, DR.. James Le-
wald, superintendent, has disclosed.
Among the persons committed to
the correction home are those who
have committed homicides, thefts
and sex crimes, he said. Although
most of those who escape eventually
are returned by police, DIR. Lewald
reported, $50 inmates who have
escaped since the home was opened
in 1925 are still at large.
The superintendent pointed out
there are no walls or detention
areas" at the home and the feeble
minded can leave the grounds al
most at will. He said he had re-
quested appropriations for the con-
struction Of such security facilities
for the last four years, but the vet
Grams housing program and made
quate District revenues have pre-
vented the completion Of the prof.
ect.
He said plans for the security
measures have been completed and
construction can start as soon as
funds are authorized.
Meanwhile, Representative SaS-
seer, Democrat, Of Maryland, who
represents the district in which the
home is located, has called for the
immediate adoption Of measures
needed to prevent the wholesale
escapes.
Attempts have been made in the
past to get adequate security meas
ures provided at the home, he said.
The representative asserted he
would keep punching" until the
necessary safeguards are authorized.
In illustrating the ease with
which inmates may now leave the
grounds, DR.. Lewald told Of an 18-
year-old colored boy who has just
made his 18th escape since being
committed in 1899. In this case, he
said, the boy had been arrested in
the past on several charges, includ-
ing carnal knowledge Of q 13-year-
old girl and assault on q 6-year-old.
He said there now are $50 in
mates at the home.
