Plate Printers Warn

Uses Offset Method

A flood Of counterfeit Gov
ernment savings bonds is pre-
dicted If the Treasury Depart
ment prints the bonds by the
Offset method rather than the
present steel-engraved plate
process.
The warning, coupled with an
offer to prove how easily coun-
terfeiting could be accomplished
if the change is made, is pub
lished in a full-page advertise
ment in today's Star.
The International Plate Print
ers. Die Stampers and Engravers'
Union of North America (AFL)
sponsored the ad.
The Treasury Department last
month announced it's plan to
economic at the Bureau Of En-
craving and Printing by SWITCH
ing to the Offset process on jan
uary 18. Nearly 500 plate print
erS are employed at the bureau.
so Face Loss Of Jobs.
The union said the Govern
ment estimates more than
100000 can be saved annually
by the switch to the offset proc
ess. About so bureau employees,
including 20 plate printers, would
lose their jobs.
Unlike bonds printed by steel
engravings. bonds counterfeited
by the offset method can't be
told from genuine Offset bonds"
the ad declares.
ANY criminal equipped with
an offset press could turn out
Government bonds in a short
time" it added.
Included in the ad is a warn
ing from Wallace w. Kirby, a
former director of the Bureau of
Engraving and Printing, and
president of the Kirby Litho-
graphic Co., Inc.
1T takes no genius to counter
felt bonds by the Offset process
that no expert on earth could
tell from genuine offset-printed
bond. Indeed a really skilled
man could do it on one of the
thousands of Multilith machines
found in business Offices all over
the country" Mr.. Kirby declared.
Sees Blow to Confidence.
Every photographer will be-
come a potential counterfeiter if
the change is made" Mr.. Kirby
explained.
Frank j. Coleman. business
representative of Plate Printer
Local No. 2 whose members work
at the bureau, said he passed on
to Treasury Secretary Humphrey
an offer by Mr.. Kirby to turn out
a perfect reproduction Of an off,
set bond"
Ane union mas received no re-
ply to this offer, Mr.. Coleman
said.
The union said public conf
dence in Government bonds
could be so weakened if coun-
terfeiting became widespread
after the change that millions
could be lost through diminished
sales. -.s4l -. -, -, {
Mr.. Kirby. who is a director
OF The Munsey Trust Co., said
banking officials have indicated
concern over the possible effects
OF widespread counterfeiting.
The possibility of heavy losses
resulting in higher surety rates |
could mean many banks would |
refuse to handle savings bonds.
If 1t is only a question of
saving money the size of the
bonds could be reduced and
more of them printed on one
plate to achieve savings" Mr..
Kirby declared.

This Week

Washington


The familiar old slogan
Equal Rights for Women" has
taken on different look this
year. 1t happened on January IL
when Sen. Lester c. Hunt Cd.
Wyo.0, offered resolution
which would declare that where
ever the terms person, persons
and people and any personal
pronoun" appear in the Constitu-
ton, they shall be taken to in
clude both sexes"
This new look" came out as
a possible once-and- -for-all solu-
ton to wash away controversy
over the Hayden rider to the
1853 equal rights resolution in
troduced by Sen. John M. Butler
Or. Md and % co-sponsors,
which won Senate approval by a
1871 vote last July, was await
ing still House consideration at
the Hunt resolution.
The rider focuses attention on
one of the major disputes in the
equal-rights-for- issue.
Supporters of the Constitution
amendment contend it would
eliminate discrimination based
on sex in such fields as property
rights and employment. Discri-
mination, they claim, far out
weighs protection in these fields.
Opponents of an equal rights
amendment say that it will only
bring about confusion and might
invalidate protective laws for
women now in existence. l!
women get themselves declared
equal to men in the eyes of the
law, they reason, how can womer
justify a need for special pro
lection under the law?
But the ladies, with the same
determination that won them thu
right to vote, are seeking to pu
an end to the 30-year struggle
for a Constitutional amendmen

THE AMERICAN WAY
Increase Provides No
Additional Security

If the recent increase in pay
roll deductions to go on the
employer and go on the en-
ployee on first $4,000 of wages
or salary would provide more
or better security for those COW
cred by the Social Security Act,
then I'd be for it. But it won't.
Actually, all the increase does is
to give the Treasury more money
to spend Git already has too
much) and to increase the ma
tional debt, which is already too
high.
Here's how it works. When So
cial security deductions are re-
mitted to Washington these
funds are deposited in the gen.
eral account of the Treasury and
are used by the Treasury to pay
the ordinary day-to-day operat-
ing expenses of the government.
Once a year Congress appropriat-
es for social security the amount
of money the Social Security
Board says will be necessary to
pay benefits and operating ex-
penses for the coming year. Then
the Treasury gives the Social
Security Board an lou. in the
form of special issue non-neg-
otiable government bond COW
ering the difference between
social security collections and
the amount appropriated by Con-
gress for social security. Each of
these special issue bonds is add
ed to the national debt as soon
as it is issued to the Social
Security Board. Actually then
the net effect of remitting social
security payroll deductions te
Washington is to increase the
national debt. So far as / know
there isn't any security for any.
| one in debt.
AS of December 81, 1858, the
Social Security Board hao
eighteen billion eight hundred
million dollars in it's reserve, all
of it invested in the special issue
non negotiable government
bonds referred to above. Presum-
ably this reserve fund provides
protection for those covered by
the Act so that when the bene-
fits they have paid for become
due there'll be funds available
out of which to pay them what
they have coming. This is d
1000 fallacy.
The only way in which the
government can get money with
which to redeem the social sec
urity reserve fund bonds is by
collecting additional taxes from
all taxpayers, including those
covered by the Act who have
already paid once. So, in the
final analysis, whether a person
covered by social security will
be able to collect his benefits
when they come due ten, twenty
thirty or more years from now
will depend entirely, not on the
social security reserve fund, but
on the governments ability tc
collect taxes from the taXpay-
ers of that day to pay the bene-
fits the person covered though he
paid for by the deductions made
from his pay.
l have frequently stated that
social security is the biggest
fraud that was ever put across
on an unsuspecting public. I re-
peat that statement with even
greater emphasis, if that is pos
sible.
