Mellon. WASHINGTON, April 8. Division of the bureau ot engraving and print ing engaged in the production ot bank notes, bonds and postage stamps will be cUjed tonight for an Indefi note period tor the purpose ot taking an Inventory ot the plant front' which James h Wllmeth and. twenty-eight chiefs, superintendents and foremen were removed by presidential order one week ago. Decision to close at least the prin cipal eion of thebig plant, the largest of its kind? in the world, was disclosed today at having- followed a conference late yesterday between Louis Hilt, the newly appointed direc tor, division chiefs ot the bureau, and treasury officials. The! closing is to be effected under an order Issued by Secretary MeUon of the treasury un der which the bureau operates. Take Inventory The purpose of the closing ot the plant, as stated today by officials, is to enable the taking ot an inventory, the repairing of the machinery in use almost continuously asince the en trance of the United States into the world war and to allow the transfer department of the bureau to issue new steel plates, such as are used in the printing of the nation's paper currency. The Inventory, it was said, will be undertaken by treasury accountants and department ot justice agents. Hints also were given that during the Closing the bureau would be further reorganized or "HardlngUed," as one official put it. Installation ot the new steel plates, ll is said, will be for the purpose of preventing counterfeiting ot the va rious bank notes and bonds printed in the plant, as the old plates had become so-worn that it was found that prints taken from them were comparatively easy to counterfeit. The bureau employs about 6000 persons and it was estimated that about 4.000 of the total would be af fected by the closing. The total em ploys' number 1500 above the pre war personnel, and It was suggested In some quarters that during the sus pension reduction to the pre-war level would be brought about. NEW YORK.
