Cracked With Arrest
OF 4 Men in Buffalo
By the Associofad Press

BUFFALO. N. Y, May 1.-THE
Secret Service said today it had
broken up a million dollar coun-
terfeiting syndicate that operated
in % States and in Canada.
A printing press and plates were
seized yesterday in a raid on a
house in suburban Depew. Two
men were arrested. Two more ar
rests were made here today.
U. A. Baugham, chief of the Sc
cret Service, said in Washington
it probably was the most impor-
tant breakdown against counter
feiting in years.
Secretary of the Treasury Sny-
der said the arrest of Matthew
zlodinski, 81, and Bernard Neuner,
80, appeared to wind up the case.
Those held today were Alphonse
StableWski, Al, and Henry Stew
ems. As. United States Attorney
Roy M. Cohn said both were
charged With conspiracy.
More than 10 men had been ar
rested previously as principals in
the syndicate. Sixty-four others
have been charged with passing
bogus bills in various cities.
Neuner, an artist for a litho-
graphic firm, was accused of
manufacturing" plates used to
print 100000 in bogus Canadian
money and about the same
amount in American notes.
Press Found in Basement.
Zlodinski was alleged to have
printed "a separate issues of
counterfeit $40 and $40 notes.
drawn on 10 of the IL regional
Federal Reserve Banks. The ex-
ceptions were the Federal Reserve
Banks at Chicago and Kansas
City.
The press was in the basement
of Zlodinski's home.
Secret Service agents also found
q photographic plate designed for
printing phony tickets to the
Broadway musical hit, South
Pacific"
Arranged before United States
Commissioner Boyce H. Butter
field here last night, the pair |
waived hearings. Mr.. Butterfield
set bond at 100000 each.
Mr.. Baughman said the ring
had passed about $45, 900 in bogus
money from Connecticut to Cali
fornia and Maine to Texas"
Another $280,000 was seized be-
fore it was put into circulation,
Mr.. Baughman added.
Investigators have been unable
to account for more than $780,
900 of United States counterfeitS.
Some of these may be in the
hands of "passers, Mr.. Baughman
said, although ring members claim
to have destroyed them.
Some Passed in Toronto.
Some of the $500,000 in
Canadian money was passed in
Toronto, but the counterfeiters
destroyed most of it as too de-
fective," the Secret Service chief
said.
Mr.. Baughman asserted the
project was conceived" by An
thony Iraci and Samuel N. Salli
of Buffalo as "the outgroWth Of
experience they had in wholesale
counterfeiting of OPA gasoline,
sugar and meat ration stamps
during the war;
The case broke first in New
York City, when 100000 worth
of bogus bills were sold" to a
Secret Service agent.
Ten issues of Canadian coun-
terfeits and 81 of United States
counterfeits were seized later in
the Buffalo home of a man iden-
titled as Christopher Mercio, Al.
Salli and Iraci were arrested
here April 10. They are held in
100000 bail each in New York
City on counterfeit conspiracy
charges.

therefore, that we do everything

JAW Go
Resources Over 5 Million
Financial Report Says

The UAW-CIO now has total
resources of more than So mil
lion, according to an audit re-
port submitted by the unions
trustees and printed in the cur
rent edition of the United Auto
mobile Worker, official JAW
publication.
The fully detailed financial
statement is distributed to the
entire membership of the UAW-
CLIO.
The report listed liquid assets
as of May 81, 1850, as 1887
8O7. go; and fixed assets as ST.
679, 278.98;-compared with fl
CURES as of November 80, 1949,
of 1889, 1905 in liquid assets,
and ST, 068, Bill in fixed assets.
In a statement accompanying
the audit report, UAW-CIO Sec
retary-Treasurer Emil Macy
said, "a careful analysis and ex-
animation of our financial posi-
ton clearly shows the made
quacy of our income to meet nor
NAL operating expenditures OF
our Union" He said the increase
in liquid assets was due almost
entirely to a surplus left from
collection of the emergency
strike assessment levied during
the three month Chrysler strike.
The increased fixed assets figure
includes an investment of $780,
210.14 in the UAW-CIO's new
headquarters building in Detroit
now under construction.
Macy asked for immediate
steps to establish a strike fund
of rs million" which, he said,
would help "avoid many costly
strikes" since "many manage
ments would hesitate to force us
into strike situations if they
knew our Union was capable of
taking care of the immediate
needs of our members"
Pointing out alternative pro-
posals for meeting the Unions
financial problems, Macy said
he believed the ''soundest ap-
proach" would be to raise dues

WASHINGTON CLPA)-Sec-
rotary of Defense Louis john
son called upon Congress to APP
prove a system of universal
military training for boys be-
tween II and 20. His proposal
was made in identical letters to
the House and Senate Armed
Services Committees received
Aug. Is.
Less than a week earlier,
President Truman vas reported
to feel that UNIT should not be
brought up now lest it slow
dow emergency legislation
dealing with the Korean crisis.
The Presiden stressed this view
point at his Aug. II press con-
ference. He said he personally
had not requested that UNIT be
introduced. However, johnson
said he had the Presidents APP
prevail.
1t was expected that UNIT
would get a cool reception from
labor. Spokesman for the AFL,
CLIO, Machinists and rail unions
said their organizations had con-
sistently opposed it in the past.
Whether their views would
change would depend on how
they analysed the present crisis.
Meanwhile, nobody gave UNIT
a chance at this session of Con-
gress.
Johnson submitted the De-
Tense Departments plan in the
form of a bill calling for COM
pulsory training for youths be-
tween II and 20 whenever the
President wished to begin such
a program. I'm my opinion"
johnson wrote, "the recent

being earmarked for a striA
fund. Both International and
local unions would share equally
the remaining 81 of increase.
Present dues are $1.50 per month
Lowest of any major union in
the country.
Under this arrangement MAJ
ey said, there would be no nee
essity for strike assessments.
During the calendar year 1850,
he said, most of the UAW-CIO
members paid an average of
$3.50, including assessments,
without hardship to our men,
bers' who r among the high
est paid workers in America"
Adding SO cents a month from
each member to the Information
al Unions strike fund wouls
amount to an estimated SIS mil
lion a year.
The AVG IO now has zoos
active local unions. Average per
capitas paid to the international
Union during the year ended
May 81, 1850, was 908,410. But,
Macy pointed out, there were
more than 10000 members who
paid no dues during the Chrysler
strike; and many more who, in
strike and other emergency situ-
atoms, paid no dues for varying
periods. The actual total of ac-
tive dues-paying members, MAJ
ey said, is well over the million
mark.
The three international Union
Trustees, in submitting the re-
port, commended Mazey's office
for proper management" of the
Unions financial affairs, but
added that proper manageme(
alone will not achieve for Us

attain if we are to be able to
cope successfully with the prob
