Secret Service Puts
.Counterfeiting Loss
At $33S,@2 in Year

Storekeepers and cashiers lost
1898, ,062 to Aounterfieters in the
year ending June 80. according
to Chief U. E. Baughman of the
Secret Service. who said yester-
day there has been a marked in
crease in circulation of bogus
bills.
He reported to Treasury Secre-
tary Snyder. however. that ar
rests of counterfeiterS have in
creased also. A total of 207 was
taken into custody in the year
an increase of 81 per cent over
those seized the previous period.
The increase in the home made
money business is the work of
big time operators, Mr.. Baughman
said. and mostly they are new
to the game.
Although a few old time Of
tenders may still be active" he
said, "the principals arrested in
major cases were new to the
currency counterfeiting racket"
S611,679 Bills Seized.
Secret Service agents captured
$6l1 ,679 in spurious money before
lit could be circulated.
Looked at with the cold eye
of an accountant, the business
is not one offering large returns.
Gradually the manufacturers
will discover that. after paying
commissions to distributions and
other middlemen, their net is toe
small to risk Is years in prison, .
Mr.. Baughman observed. The
passers who take most of the
chances pay highest prices for the
counterfeits and always get caught
sooner or later. The only thing
they may safely count on is SUBJ
stantial prison sentences"
Postage Stamp Case.
The most unusual case of the
yean involved 105,4o0 counterfeit
Scent stamps. Three persons
were arrested in New York City
after they had sold 10000 of the
stamps to an under cover agent
and then delivered an additional
IS, 400 at a midtown hotel.
There was also brisk busin .ss
in forged Government checks and
Government bonds. Those who
cashed the forged checks paid
heavily for not insisting en- full

Bar Practice
|Curbs Lifted
|nMontgomery
Lebowitz Suit Ruling
Allows D. c. Lawyers
To Appear in Count,

Montgomery County Circuit
Court yesterday rescinded it's six
year-old rule restricting practice
before the court to members of
the Montgomery bar.
The order. signed by Judges
Charles w. Woodward, Stedman
Prescott and Patrick M. Schnauf-
fer, has particular significance for
Maryland attorneys who have Of
fees in Washington.
Under an old rule, these attor-
neys. if qualified before the Mary
land Court of Appeals. could ap-
pear in Montgomery County Cir
cult Court only if they were asso-
ciated with a Montgomery bar
member.
To be eligible for membership
in the Montgomery bar, a Mary
land attorney must maintain
bona flde Office in the county and
spend a reasonable part of his
working days" there in the prac-
tice of law.
Rules in Lebowitz Suit.
The courts ruling yesterday
was on a suit brought by Louis
Lebowitz, Prince Georges County
and Washington attorney.
Mr.. LeboWitz's action, filed last
May, grew out of the refusal of
the court clerk to accept his ap-
pearance in a civil suit for $1,000
damages. He argued the rule was
unconstitutional and restrictive.
In place of the old rule. the
court ordered its clerk to receive
no suits unless they contained the
names and addresses of the per-
sons filing them as we'll as the
names and addresses of their at
torneys. This, it was explained.
would enable the court to serve
necessary papers more easily.
Purpose Recalled.
In their decision, the three
judges recalled that the purpose
of the rule was to have some one
within reasonable reach" upon
whom papers could be served, thus
avoiding delay and inconvenience
to other parties involved. A SINH
lar rule now is in effect in Dis
trict Court, the judges noted.
They explained, however, that
their rule is no longer necessary
because Of a rule adopted in No
vember. 1947, by the Maryland
Court of Appeals, which requires
the person filing a suit to fur
nish his address and the name
and address of his lawyer.
This Is Statewide and drasti-
cally changed the former prac-
tice in Maryland" the Mont
gomery court declared. 1T cor
rects nearly all of the deficiencies
this court had in mind when it
adopted this rule"

$4,000 Bowie Fire
Destroys ; Buildings
OF Forest Service

Damage estimated at about
$4,000 resulted from a fire near
Bowie, Md, last night which
destroyed three buildings owned
by the Forest Service Branch of
the Agriculture Department Re-
search Center.
The two-story frame structures,
two of which were warehouses,
were just off the Bowie-Laurel
road about 3 miles from Bowie.
The third was occupied by Harold
Ford, an employe of the center;
his wife and two children. The
three buildings were connected
to each other.
The damage estimate was made
by members of the Bowie Volun-
teer Fire Department and State
police, who said the cause of the
blaze could not be determined.
One fireman, John Robey, 10,
a member of the Bowie depart
ment. was overcome by smoke.
He was treated at the scene by
the Branchville Rescue Suad.
| Mr.. Robey said Mr.. Ford was
awakened by smoke shortly be-
fore midnight. He aroused his
wife and helped take their chill
dren to safety. A passerby called
the Bowie Fire Department.
At one time, four nearby homes
were endangered by flying sparks
but remained undamaged, Mr..
Rooey said. He added firemen
were forced to lay 1900 feet of
hose to a pond after the water
system on the center proved in
adequate.
The two warehouses, Mr.. Robey
said, contained shop machinery,
including lathes and saws. All
were destroyed, he said.
Also responding to the fire were
the Glenn Dale, Landover Hills,
West Lanham Hills, Riverdale
Heights and Laurel Volunteer Fire

1900 Tax Notices
Go in Mail Monday

Three thousand notices to per-
sonal property tax delinquents
that the District will seize some
of their property unless they pay
up within 10 days are ready to
be mailed Monday.
The revenue collection enforce
ment unit, expanded to handle
administration of the city's new
sales tax effective Monday. has
spent this month preparing the
notices in an effort to collect
s297 ,303.97 owed the District on
1949 levies.
Meanwhile, District residents
have until midnight tomorrow to
get their personal property tax
returns for the 1850 fiscal year in
the mail and postmarked. Late
returns draw a penalty of 20 per
cent in addition to the assess
ment value.
Failure by the 5000 1949 de-
linquents to pay their taxes within
10 days of the notice will mean
that the District can seize items of
their tangible personal property
such as automobiles. and sell them
at auction to satisfy it's claim.
Money left over after settlement
of the tax claim will be deposited
in the Treasury for the owners
to collect. In addition to the
amount of the tax, the city col
lects l per cent-a-month penalty
from the time the bill was due to
the date of payment.
In most of the cases, the resi-
dents filed returns but failed to
pay all or part of the taxes, first
half of which were due in Septem-
ber, 1948, and the second halt,
last March.
