Banknote Forgers
Gangs specializing in counter.
felt. inoney have bFlcomo such a
menact ra
e h u bolls Europe pe that
secret plans to beat them are be-
ing put into Palen.
Interpol --the Inernational Po-
lice Organization --has been so
worried by the situation that It
asked the Bank of England and
the British Treasury for advice.
One of the results is that coun-
tries whose banknotes can be
fairly easily forged will adopt
more complex designs, especially
with watermarks,
Currency experts believe that
many of the old banknotes should
be immediately withdrawn from
use and counterfeit -proof notes
Issued.
Modern counterfeiters use the
very latest printing and photo-
graphic processes. Some gangs
lob banks and government offi-
ces of the official paper used in
currency -making.
At cleverly -concealed hide-outs
the counterfeit specialists print
molt cnly British, ,Fimerican and
German 'paper money, but bcnk-
notes used by a dozen different
lcountrte's.
'Balt Interpol, now steadily in -
cot • s;an 5n power curl rnn o, to-
tem ft will soon be able to
smash the counterfeit racket.
Atits headquarters in Paris,
Interpol iis also working at high
pressure to unmask the lop
crooks responsible for the recent
spate of art thefts, Detailed dos-
siers are being built up which,
it is hoped, will put many of
these racketeers behind bars.
But Interpol, though supported
by seventy-six nations and in-
dependent territories, does not
have a single detective on its pay-
roll, Its staff consists largely of
French civil servants.
Interpol's power lies in the
fact that it can call on the police
forces of its member -nations to
help in searches or inquiries.
And in its files in Paris and at
the Ifague, in Holland, the or-
ganization possesses full details
of 600;'000 international criminals.
Jost as vital to the organiza-
tions effectiveness is the speed
with which its staff can transmit
important information about
wanted or suspected men.
Now, within seconds, it is pos-
sible to transmit copies of a pho-
tograph by radio to the police
forces of all the nations'subscrib-
Ing to Interpol:
In this way, a crook flying 1.0
another country to escape the
penalty for his crime is often
met on arrival by police who can
establish his identity.
SLIGHT ERROR
r
Prime Minister of England W.
E. Gladstone used to tell of his
last -century experiences at Eton
under the terrible little head-
master Dr. Keate.
The latter always had the
names of those doomed to be
flogged written down on a nar-
row slip of paper. One day, pick-
ing up such a list, he called up
for flogging the boys whose
names were inscribed upon it.
On such occasions the delin-
quents were not permitted to of-
fer explanations, so boy after boy
was castigated, and returned sore
and savage to his seat.
Not until the operation was
complete din he learn that, in-
stead of the flogging list, he had
picked up the site on which were
the names of the boys about to
be confirmed.
LAST STRAW Kooky pig-
tails grow under the brim of
a beach hat that makes its
unseasonal debut in London.
Mail Order Guns
Under U.S. Scrutiny
Early in December of last year,
a young boy in Washington, D.C„
•-• awed a p'tcknlre by Railway
Express, opened it, and excited-
ly called a young friend to come
over to sce his new purchase.
11 was r. "mail-order gun;"
In the process of examining
it to find out how it worked the
young visitor was fatally shot.
The boy who received this gun
did not have parental approval
for its purchase. They did not
know he had it. He had no legal
right, as a, juvenile, to possess it
anyway.
Incidents such as this have
touched off a searching congres-
sional inquiry -still in process -
Into this multibillion -dollar busi-
ness of "mail-order guns" which
has sprung up within the past'
few years.
Investigators for the Senate
Subcommittee on Juvenile De-
linquency', under Sen. Thomas J.
Dodd (D) of Connecticut, report
that most of these guns are of
foreign manufacture.
They come from Italy or West
Germany. Many are as small as
toys. They sell from $6 up, but
are as deadly as any six-shooter.
They may be ordered by mail
with no declaration as to the age
of the purchaser. And shipment
by Railway Express avoids the
stricter requirements of the post-
al laws.
The subcommittee has reason
to believe many of these guns
are finding their way into the
hands of juvenile gangs and into
the possession of the mentally
irresponsible.
The New York police told in-
vestigators of one company
charged with converting blank
guns into '22's and selling them
to children. This led, in one case,
to a tragedy similar to the one
in Washington. _
The. Senate subcommittee has
a veritable arsenal of exhibits,
from the tiny vestpocket Italian
import to larger guns, obviously
rebuilt Army castoffs.
In fact, it has been found that
many of the mark-down, bar-
gain, mail-order guns are of
Army origin, having been sold as
'scrap and reconditioned for sale
by cutting down the barrel and
putting on a new handle, writes
Josephine Ripley in the Christ-
ian Science Monitor.
FIRST MAN - John Uelses, 24, native German now serving
in the U.S. Marine Corps, becomes the first 'man ,ever to
pole vault 16 feet or better as he clears 16 feet, 4 inch for
a wurld indoor record in the Millrose Meet held in. New York.

Subcommittee investigators
now are in the process of going
through thousands of Railway
Express receipts to ;find out how
many of these guns have gone
to juveniles.
In the course of investigation
they have various dodges by
which those who ship these guns
are avoiding the firearms Calf.
A committee investigator show-
ed this correspondent several
types of revolvers with a phony
barrel which can be unscrewed
and a real barrel inserted. In
some oases the authentic barrel
comes in the same box; in other
cases it may be obtained separ-
etely.
- Guns with a nonusable bar-
rel are net taxed as firearms,
Hence,: the shipment of the good
barrel as a separate part.
But, as the .investigator pointed
out,' the gun could be used even
without the real barrel simply
by rehiaoving the phony one anti
firing the bullet through the stub
of the gun.
The biggest mail-order gun
business is done in California and
New York, Both of these states
have .tight laws regulating the
sale of firearms within their
'own borders, but since the mail-
order house deals in interstate
commerce, it is not hampered by
state restrictions.
Such business can be started
on a small capital of a few thous-
and dollars and run up to a mil-
lion dollars in a short time.
Many "shady characters" ase
reported to be engaged in this
profitable enterprise. One is said
to have been a previous peddler
of pornography.
These guns come to the atten-
tion of juveniles through adver-
tisement in sports magazines -
such as'Guns, True, and Male -
or the so-called "girlie type pub-
lication. -
United States gun manufactur-
ers have. told Senate investigators
that it would cost more than $40
here to produce the Italian gun
which sells here for around $12
and which, they estimate, costs
less than a dollar to manufacture
there.
The subcommittee has realy
for exhibition in its firearms dis-
play a pencil - type gun,very
much like a ball-point pen with
a pocket clip, which sells for $2.
It was manufactured as a toar-
gas gun, but can take a small .22
shell which "will go thougn a.

tory!"
No Life Of Ease
For The Old Man!
We note that a General Elec-
tric Corporation executive pre-
dicts many timesaving innova-
tions for the home.
Dishes, he says, within 10 years
will be automatically washed
and stored in minutes. Cooking
will be done in seconds. Auto-
matic cleaning devices will seek
out and evaluate cleaning prob-
lems. Closed-circuit television
will be installed in the home to
watch children in the yard and
monitor the front door.
Surely all these wonderful
labor-saving devices will make
home management easier on the
Mrs. But we are wondering what
they will do .to the Mr.
As it stands today, due to the
high Dost of the expertise of il-
lusive repairmen, he must of
necessity, and in self-defence, be
a jack of all trades.
When the lawn mower dies
In protest, Mr. tinkers and brings
it back to life. if the TV blows
a tube, Mr. changes is or suffers
the wrath of the family. Leaky
faucets, broken electric cords,
sagging doors, smashed windows,
inoperative washers and dish
washers are taking up a great
deal of Mr.'s weekend now.
We can plainly hear the call
from Mrs, ten years hence.
"Plenty, fix the yard TV moni-
tor, or you're going to have to
Stay home from work tomorrow
and watch the children!"
