hunchback printer was described
by police today as the "master
mind" behind six attractive girls
charged with posing as war
workers and cashing $290,000
worth of cleverly duplicated pay
roll checks.
The printer, Walter Pelka, 29.
was arrested at his hotel. The
girls were rounded up at various
night spots and taverns.
They were arrested on com
plaints filed by 30 war plants
who charged that their payroll
checks had been duplicated, as
well as identification badges
worn by their employes.
Police said Pelka printed the
spurious checks and used the
girls to cash them. The girls,
who wore plant identification
badges, cashed the checks at cur
rency exchange offices and ho
tels, they told police.
Two of the girls, Grace Get-
ger, 25, and Mary Engle, 27, es
timated they had cashed checks
totaling $40,000. They kept $900
as their share, they said, and
turned the rest over to Pelka.

Shortages, Medford students are
