Gated most of his predictions of a
century of progress on the assump-

would be found to keep newly in

"All this great panorama hinges,
however, upon a single thing: The
motive power of the future"
What the college student Of 1906

Justice Groner May Retire

welcomed newcomers to the bar.
Well he has listened to the argyll
ments of counsel, standing at the
reading desk before him, and shot a
piercing question at the lawyer to
clarity some obscure point.
With cordially he has welcomed
the lawyers in the judicial confer
ences and expounded the law and
the problems Of the day.
The green-carpeted chamber has
rung to his clear tones and his
clearer thought. Now, at "A years
of age, his intellect is as vibrant
as ever.
Chief Justice Groner's philosophy
of the Constitution may be summed
UP in his own words in nemoran-
dun he wrote to former Attorney
General Robert H. jackson, now a
Supreme Court Justice. In it he
stated the real and true purposes
which the founders Of our Govern
ment sought to achieve for them
selves and their posterity:
These were free action-free
enterprise-free competition. They
believed that equal justice between
man and man and between citizen
and state was one of the impartial
rewards which encouraged to efforts
chat produced great and lasting re-
suits. Therefore they made no pro-
vision for exemptions from legal
duty. What they did provide for
was that there should be no OPP
preston, no exaction by tyranny,
no spoliation Of private right by
public authority, and that there
should be a fair, honest, effective
Government to maintain the things
which were thought to be the pre-
negatives Of every individual man"

Treasury Department statistics

inclusive an average Of 100000 per-

brought the yearly number Of VIC

BY 1943 the number of victims
was only 2,877. Annual losses to
the public from fake-money pass
ing dropped from more than a
million dollars a year in the early
3os to around $4,000 in 1915 and

his forecasts still have So years OF

state Department spokesman said.
Another third Of the funds is being
used to purchase ordnance equip
ment, he said, but refused to di-
vulge the type of such equipment
for security reasons. A large part
of the ordnance equipment has been
what the Army calls general pur-
pose" vehicles.
Purchases of communications
and similar equipment have bulked
large in the program. A large
amount of parts, ammunition. etc.,
for Greek Army equipment also has
been bought. This has led to some
purchasing in the United Kingdom
and elsewhere since much of the
Greek weapons are Of foreign make.
However, these purchases have not
taken a large proportion Of the
over all total spent.
The balance Of the $500 900, 900 aid
program voted by Congress last May
"a has been allocated to the eco
nomic rehabilitation Of Greece. The
largest portion Of this economic
allotment is for reconstruction Of
roads, ports, railroads. canals, hous-
ing. communications, irrigation,
reclamation and the like. Virtually
no new construction is contem-
plated under this, rather the funds
are being used for repair and re-
placement of war damaged facilities.
The program calls for doing as
much as we can do to restore the
war-raYaged country to what 1t was
before the war" the State Depart
ment spokesman said.
Agriculture rehabilitation also
comes in for a large share Of the
economic relief. This includes the
purchase of farm tools, machinery,
parts, pumps and restoration OF the
fishing industry to prewar status.
Previously, the United Nations Re-
lief and Rehabilitation Administra-
ton had furnished q number Of
fishing boats to the Greeks.
Forty Million for Food
A large part of the agricultural
aid is in the form Of fertilizers and
seeds.
by building up agriculture the
Greeks will be far less dependent
on outside help in the future, Of
course" the State Department
spokesman commented.
A third phase Of the economic side
Of the program calls for the pur-
chase Of civil supplies or consumer
goods and 1t runs the whole range
from fuels, including coal. automo-
tive parts, iron and steel and lun1-
Der.
During 1913 some $4,000, 900 will
be spent for food.
The American mission in Greece
has not declared yet where the cut
back in the economic portion Of the
program will come as a result of the
additional allotment to the military
portion.

helping the Greeks. That Is advice

Rubber's Future
UptoCongress
Must Decide What to Do
About Synthetic
Production
By Howard Dobson
By Howard Dobsor

Congress Is scheduled to decide
this winter what to do with the
Governments synthetic rubber in
dustry-a healthy war baby that can
produce almost all the rubber this
country needs.
There are these four possible solu-
tons:
/. Give the industry to Govern
ment corporation, and put 1t into
the rubber business.
2. Continue the present temporary
law, which expires next March 81
and postpone long-range decision.
Under this law, the plants are
operated for the Government by
private companies, and the manu-
facturers of automobile tires are re-
uuired to use a certain percentage
Of synthetic rubber in all the tires
they make.
Congress Must Decide
8. Offer the plants to private COM
panies, either for sale or lease, and
let the industry sink or swim on
its own.
4. Sell or lease the plants to pri-
vate companies; requiring that they
produce minimum amount OF syn
thetic rubber considered essential
to national security, and requiring
the manufacturers to use at least
that minimum amount.
These possibilities are not listed
in the order of their current favor
with Congress. All are favored by
some of the people now advising
Congress on the problem, and Con-
gress will have to make a choice.
The Senate has special rubber
committee, but the House has given
the Job to It's Armed Services Com
mittee. This move recognizes that
the House regards the problem pri-
marily as one Of national defense
and will make its decision on that
basis.
It will decide first how much rub
Der is to be tucked away In a stock
pile for national defense. Stock
piles up to 100000 and 100000 tons
have been recommended. Most OF
it will be natural rubber, which can
be stored better, but some probably
will be synthetic.

national affairs since the fighting
stopped, have made this country
more conscious Of the need fol
searching out new sources Of supply
The Bureau of Mines already had
a demonstration plant at Pittsburgh
to work on the INCORPORATION OF
coal, before the shale laboratories
were established in the West.
In the present session Of Congress
Senator O'Mahoney will seek action
on a bill doubling the original
$50 100000 authorization and ex-
tending the research program from
five to eight years.
Score Not Perfect
Senator O'Mahoney, of course,
did not register perfect score in
his youthful predictions. For ex-
ample, he envisioned tunnels. like
the New York passenger subways,
for the exclusive movement Of
freight through cities. He also
thought pneumatic tubes, like those
which carry the mails from the
post Office to railroad stations,
would be Installed everywhere for
the transportation Of merchandise"
Then he drew this word picture Of
future cities:
This complicated system will
practically do away with all surface
traffic, and as a result the city
beautiful will reach its full develop
ment.. Trucking having been ban
ished, all the streets will be trans
formed into parkways, drives and
boulevards, and it will be impossible
to find a spot offensive to the eye
or to the nose within the boun-
diaries of the future city"

yentions which add to the comfort
of present-day living. For example,
while the horse and buggy still rum
bled over cobblestone streets lined
by gas lamps, the young college stu
dent included in his vision of the
future this forecast:
Saw Progress in Electricity
1.-THE microphone and the tele-
photograph will render 1t possible
for persons hundred miles or more
apart to see and hear one another as
clearly as If they were seated side by
side. Not only will news be sent
through the telephone. but concerts
and plays as well. The subscriber,
sitting at home, by merely pressing
a button or turning a switch, will
be enabled to see and hear the per-
formers"
The author of this feature story,
which appeared in the Sunday mag
azine of The Star and other leading
newspapers on October 81, 1906, is
Senator O,Mahoney, Democrat, of
Wyoming.
His vision Of how electricity would
be applied to farming of the futures
reads today as though he had a
of the Rural Electrifl-
cation Administration, which the
Federal Government established
more than a quarter Of century
later. This is what he wrote re-
garding 1t in 1906:
THE application of electricity to
agriculture will make the farming of
the future more productive, more
remunerative and more pleasant.
Stations scattered throughout the
country districts will furnish power
to all the farms in the neighbor-
hood. Is In many portions OF Ger

The old counterfeiting racket,
which doomed in the depression
Dos and almost disappeared during
the war, started to boom again
the past year.
More than $2,5OO,000 in counter
felt currency were conflscated by
the Secret Service in the last four
months. In 1887, year of consid-
cradle activity by bogus money
passers, confiscations totaled $751;
900. In wartime 1914 they dropped
to $4,000.
While counterfeiting operations
apparently have not been so nu-
merous as in the depression, they
have been running bigger scale.

Public Urged to Help
Secret Service Chief James J.
Maloney, who fears continued in
crease in counterfeiting, urges the
public to help the service combat
counterfeiting gangs by exerting
special effort to detect bad money.
I'VE know that recently there
has been considerable purchase of
materials which can be used for
making counterfeit money" says
Chief Maloney. Until a short time
ago these materials were very hard
to get because of wartime restric-
lions.

many inveterate counterfeiters who
had lucrative jobs in war industries
have lost these jobs and are re-
turning to counterfeiting."

largest ring to operate In that area
since 1894. Some $425, 900 in spu-
rious currency was seized and five
men arrested. Of1cials said the
gang had printed some 5000 In
counterfeit since July.
Arrest records indicate that coun-
terfeiting is one of the most risky
and least profitable of criminal OPP
erations. Treasury officials estimate
that more than one-half Of the
bogus money makers are caught
before an appreciable amount of
their product gets into circulation.
Upwards of 80 per cent are Jailed in
less than a year after they begin
making the stuff.
Despite the hazards, many are
repeat offenders. Secret Service
men say that is probably due to the
fact that many counterfeiters are
extreme cyclists. They blame their
capture on hard luck or a slight
mistake which they are confident Of
avoiding the next time.
Small Operator Successful
Among the hundreds Of failures
there is one outstanding case Of
prolonged successful operation. For
10 years the Secret Service tried to
capture a small time operator In
New York City who manufactured
and distributed bogus 81 bills.
Over the decade the service came
into possession Of about 1000 Of
the 81 bills which had been passed
by this modest operator, but they
never caught up with him. He dis
tributed some $12 to SIS worth of
the bills week, passing them
mostly at dime stores and subway
change stations in New York.
About two years ago the bills
stopped showing up. Service off,
Gals figured their maker either had
died or had been put in Jail for
burglary or some other offense.
His counterfeits were not particu-
larry good limitations. His success
was attributed to his small and very
methodical operations.
