Two Teen-Age Girls
Attempt Extort $4,000
From Pittsburgh Men

PITTSBURGH, (P)-FBI agents
have arrested two teen-age girls
- one IA, the other Is and
charged them with attempting to
extort a total of $4,000 from H..
J. Heinz, president of the food
firm bearing his name, and Ar
thur Rooney, owner of the Pitts
burgh Steelers of the National
Football League,
Fred Hallford, special agent in
charge Of the FBI office here,
said his men had waited in vain
six times for writer's of extortion
notes to the two prominent Pitts
burghers to pick up the money
they demanded.
The two young girls walked
into the darkness of a northside
Pittsburgh park and picked up a
package lying ON bench that
allegedly contained $4,000. In
stead it held a bundle of paper,
worthless.
Hallford disclosed that the two
girls had been arrested Thursday
night. He declined to identify
them, except to give their ages.
He said both girls admitted writ
ing the notes-10 in ALTO Heinz,
president Of the H. J. Heinz Co.,
demanding $4,000 and to Rooney,
demanding $4,000
The extortion letters were SIM
liar, Hallford said. The girls
threatened to harm the Rooney's
13-year-old twin sons and the IL
year old son of Heinz.

Forqer Gets Cell With Victim,
And Friendship FoiIs the Law

Being locked up in the right
cell in the District workhouse at
Occoquan, Va, proved lucky for
one man who stole a Government
check, it was disclosed last night.
Chief U. E. Baughman of the
Secret Service told the story in
his annual report!
He said that after the Secret
Service picked up the man who
stole and caShed the check, it had
a hard time finding the victom
of the forgery. {
He finally was located at Occo-
quan in the same cell with the
thief.
BY that time, the thief and
the victim-locked up on a minor
Icharge-had become good friends.
The victim refused to- prosecute,
so the forger got off without pun
ishment.
Not all such cases end so ami
cably, however. Mr.. Baughman re-
ported. He said the Secret Service
is hunting down check thieves who
now give the T-men more trouble
than counterfeiters.
Check forgers. Mr.. Baughman
said, caShed $2.4 million worth Of
Evening star., 1952-08-10

Government checks during fiscal
1852. Counterfeiters passed only
$374,000 in bogus bills and $5,859
in bad coins during the year.
He said the District office-cov-
ering Washington and nearby
counties in Maryland and Virginia
handled about 5000 cases in fis-
cal 1852. About one-third of these
involved thefts of Government
checks. Fifty-eight per cent o1
these checks were pilfered from
letters.
Mr.. Baughman extended his
sympathy to a Brooklyn man who
maintained two wives and two
homes. He told each wife he hac
to be away from home a lot be-
cause he was a travelling salesman
Actually" said MIR. Baughman
'his only business was stealing
and forging Government checks

Administration Secrecy
Mrs. Martin said that "The ad-
ministratien's secrecy which
shrouds the detail of their upward
revision for the States anticipated
revenue to $21132,161 and $25,00O,-
600 for fiscal 1852 and 1858, respec-
lively. still continues,
"Six weeks have elapsed since 1
originally proposed a reconciliation
of my predicted, approximately ST.
900, 900 deficit with the statement of
the chief accountant for the Perma-
nent Budget Commission that the
states surplus on June 80, 1858,
will be about $3,451,397.
my offer to adjust my estimate
still stands, but has not been ac-
cepted. If they truly think, or had
even a remote justification for hope
that they are correct, it seems only
reasonable to me to assume that
they would welcome the OppOrtuni-
ty to show where my predictions,
which are based entirely on the ac-
tual balance, plus their own antici-
pated revenues, less established ap-
preparations, are in error"
Charges Information Withheld

that the administration is withhold

and is the official whose records
are affected, answers to our re-
quests to date for advice of the de-
tail for any revenue adjustments
which the administration claims
have changed since the latest bud

"Our most recent request of last
week received the reply that such
information was a matter for re.
lease by the commission, Of which
the auditor is a member, and would
be considered at their next meet
ing on April oath, upon request
from the auditor"
Attending the meeting in one OF
his rare public appearances was
former Gov. Walter w. Bacon who
said during a brief discussion peri
cd that "Mrs. Martin is doing a
wonderful job" but she cannot do
it all alone.
1T is one of the duties of the
dOorbell ringers to bring these
facts and figures to the attention
of the voters. The voters should
know that the auditors office can
not get a breakdown Of the figures
