COST OF STATE GOVERNMENT i LINCOLN, Sept. 30 (UP) Cost of operating Nebraska's state govern ment during August amounted to $3,002,975, the largest monthly ex penditure since September 1937 State Tax Commissioner W. H. Smith reported today. An increase in warrants drawn for state highway construction and maintenance, board of control, state assistance and the University of Ne braska was resDonsible for the In crease, With 10 months remaining in the biennium, slightly less than two-thirds of the appropriations have Been expended. Some $34,562,- 847 lias been spent to date from total appropriations calculated by the state auditors at $55,213,000. Confesses Plot to Flood Country with Fake Checks Chicago Police State Revelation will Lead to Arrest of Many in Midwestern States. CHICAGO, Oct. 1 (UP) Police Lieut. Thomas Kelly said today that revelations of an expert engraver, who elaborated on a confession that he had participated in a gang plot to flood scores of cities with $1,000,- 000 in fake checks and securities will lead to arrest of a dozen persons in southern, eastern and niidwestern states. Berger Hanson, one of three men arrested last week in a raid on a "loop" printing shop, made the con fession. Last night he elaborated on the gang's activities, Kelly said, and gave information warranting arrest of several "passers." Thirteen persons, including Han son, already have been seized. They include George (Buggs) Moran, pro hibition era leader in Chicago, and Frankie Parker; airplane bootlegger. who are charged with having been leaders of the gacg. Police seized them and eight other men last June after some members of the gang, acting in haste, had cashed forged American Express company travelers checks in Chicago and Pittsburgh. Moran and Parker were indicted and will be tried October 27. Hanson confessed last week that bo had produced and helped distrib ute approximately' $400,000 worth cf fake railroad bonds and $42,000 worth of travelers" checks. Last night he gave details of that counterfeiting and admitted also ho had manufactured $65,000 worth of liquor and cigaret tax stamps. .The swindling of innocent persons through elaborate printed or engrav ed documents representing cashier's checks or other valuable vouchers Is not new to this part of the country. Two such operators have victimized Platsmouth residents in late years, Wm. Bowen, an itinerant painter, who left behind him a trail of al leged cashier's checks of a local bank until the law caught up with him, and Earl Freeman who "was bold enough to have his picture on alleged salary checks, also captured and now serving time. In both cases the men refused to divulge the names of the printers who had sup plied them with their blanks. Now, with the tables turned, and one of the higher ups in custody, it appears he is not averse to "squeal ing" cn the confederates who were wont to protect him when they themselves got into trouble. At the times both these local of fenders were sentenced to prison, the Journal called attention to the fact that it was equally or more import ant to apprehend the printer who was unlawfully supplying them with the forms by which they were able to supceRsftillv carry on their re spective swindling games. HALLIBURTON INCORPORATES PACIFIC "JUNK" EXPEDITION SACRAMENTO, Cal. (UP) ard Halliburton, author and girdler, has filed articles of poratlon for the '.'Richard -Ricli-globe lncor-Halll- burton 'Trans-Pacific Junk Expedi tion, Inc."
