Green Signs ? Payroll Checks
In Court AfterC Contempt Threat

Arlington County Treasurer
John Locke Green, faced with a
possible jail sentence for con-
tempt, bowed to an order of Cir
cult Court Judge William D. Med
ley this morning and signed pay
roll checks for two county en-
ployes.
Mr.. Green had refused to sign
the checks for the director OF
the new Department of Real Es-
tate Assessment and his secretary
The treasurer contended the new
department is illegal and he has
appealed to the State Supreme
Court from ruling of the County
Circuit Court, which held the de-
partment was legally created.
Mr.. Green signed the checks
before Judge Medley after asking
that the court order reporting
the proceedings show he agreed
to sign them only at the direction
of the court and that he NOTED
an exception to the order.
Earlier, Mr.. Campbell had &C
cused the treasurer of a "f1aunt-
ingly fragrant contempt" of the
court in refusing either to sign
the checks or post $1,000 bond

hoard. A man sent a length
of threaded lead pipe, tightly
capped at both ends. His home
had been destroyed by fire, and
the pipe contained his life saw
ings, he added. When the pipe
was opened a small pile of ash
was recovered. 1t was identified.
The engraving on currency
stands out under special lights,
even after the paper has been
reduced to ash. With their fine
tools. the redemption experts
can make every piece of ash fall
into its proper place.
When more than three -fifths
of a destroyed bill can be put
together, the Treasury pays full
value for it. Between two-fifths
and three-fifths of a bill is
worth only half value. When
less than two-f1fths can be
identified, the fragments are
worthless.
Turns to Pulp In Ground.
People who bury their money
in the ground in Mason Jars
or metal boxes are horrified
years later when they dig it
UP to discover that moisture
has reduced their hoard to un-
recognizable pulp. But the re-
demption experts can usually
put it back together again.
Money disintegrated BY age
is often found in attics of old
homes. The redemption experts
still get the remains of frac-
tional currency issued to take
the place of metal coins dur
ing the Civil War period.
Some folks hide their money
to avoid income tax payments.
They get little sympathy from
the redemption experts. Like

Human squirrels who don't
trust banks and hide their
money in the most incredible
places, salvage about $4,000
daily from the Treasury Depart
ment. but their losses run into
untold millions every year.
Charred fragments of paper,
and rotted, water logged masses
Of currency, rags and wood
come to the Treasury daily, &C
companied by pathetic appeals
to please do something about
redeeming lost treasure troves.
Two score patient, skillful
women employees in the Cur
rency Redemption Division,
working with four-power mag
nifying glasses and needle like
tools, go to work on the ''lost"
money and accomplish miracles
in re-establishing it's value.
Money Burning Season.

son is close at hand, because
lots of squirrels" during the
summer, busily hoard bills in
chimney fueS, stovepipes and
in furnaces and oil burners.
Then comes a chilly day, when
the squirrel" is away, and his
Cor herr mate starts the first
fire of the season. The "squir-
rel" comes home to find the
house cozy and warm and rushes
to the hiding place.
Soon a box of SCOT and paper
and wood ashes is en- route to
Washington.
The money squirrel is un-
believably resourceful in finding
hiding places where no one
would ever think of looking for
money. Take the case of the
Mid-western housewife, for in

many instances in which doctors
