bogus bills, though only a small
percentage of them had been put
into circulation.
The counterfeiters had arrang-
ed for a series of airplane trips to
several key cities in the north,
south land east, but they must
have run into difficulties in pass
ing the bogus money, as only a
few thousand were plant
ed", the largest single amount,
$4,000 in st. Louis.
Remaining bills were seized
when the Secret Service men, fl
nally learning that the counter
feiters were operating upstairs in
an apartment at the 1907 address,

counterfeiters present, apparent

artment was rented. the counter
feiters had told the landlord they
were using a machine in research

public day just minutes less than
10 hours earlier.
When the President decided to
call it a day most Of the big crowd

Parade Of SIS Planes
Gives Cross-Section
OF Nations S Air Power
By W. n. Shippen, Jr.
Aviation Editor Of The Sfor

An impressive cross-section of
Uncle Sans air power thundered
over the parade route yesterday
afternoon in bright blue sky which
permitted precision flying at low
altitude.
Virtually every type of bomber,
fighter, flying boat, scout and trans
port of the Air Force. Navy and
Marines was represented in the for
nations led by five six-engined
B-36's, which made the round-trip
from Texas nonstop.
A final estimate last night placed
the total number of planes in the
show at around 615. They converged
on Washington from bases all over
the East and as far West as Califor-
mia, and most of them had returned
today.
B-36's Sweep Over Avenue.
The crowd reacted with applause
and exclamations when the giant
B-36's swept over the Avenue in
tight formation. They were low
enough to leave spectators tingling
from the blast and vibration of 30
powerful engines.
The famed B-29 Superforts, which
millions of japanese learned to
dread in the last war, staged a show
of precision formation flying that
won spontaneous applause.
Another high light of the Air
Force demonstration was a spear
shaped fight of some so jet Shoot
ing Stars. The quickest calculators
among the small fry lining the curbs
were too slow to get the exact total
before the jets peeled off at the
end of their run to return to base.
Blimp Circles Over White House.
The Navy and Marines came
through with more than 200 planes
and one big blimp that circled over
the White House for some 80 min

jet fighters, torpedo and dive
bombers, flying boats, high-tailed,
