Dick West Loafies Having Wallet
Cluttered With Lots of Small Bills
By DICK WEST
Washington (UPD - There
came to my attention recent
ly a press release put out by
a weekly mag
azine, which I
shall tactfully
refrain from
identifying.
It reported
that the U.S.
Bureau of En
graving and
Printing had
" discontinued
the printing of
Weit
$5,000, $10,000 and $100,000
Dills."
I was, of course, outraged
when I read this. If there's
anything I loathe, it's to have
my wallet cluttered up with
a lot of small currency.
I carry my wallet in my
Inside coat pocket and any
extra ballast there tends to
make me walk with a star
board list.
Consequently, I hopped a
cab to the government's
money-making factory on 14th
St., intending to lodge a pro
test with Henry J. Holtzclaw,
the bureau director.
Mo Change
As it turned out, the cab
driver didn't have change for
a $10,000 bill, and that added
to my temper. You know how
little inconveniences can get
under your skin. '
Needless to say, by the time
I was ushered into Holtzclaw's
office, I was dang near on
the brink of apoplexy. Had
there not been so many armed
guards around, I might have
done something rash.
"Now calm down," Holtz
claw said, or words to that
effect. "The picture is not as
black as the magazine paints
It."
Not Discontinued
Technically, he explained
the bureau has not "discon
tinued" the production of four-five-and-six
figure currency.
It just hasn't made any re
cently because the supply ex
ceeds the demand.
He said banks have a back
log of big denominations
mouldering in the vaults. The
bureau hasn't printed any
thing larger than a $100 bill
Since 1945.
But if the need arose, he
assured me, the bureau could
print a new batch of long
playing lettuce in short order.
I asked Holtzclaw if this
meant that big bills were go
ing out of style. He replied
that he just printed the stuff
and didn't concern himself
with fads or fashions.
Get Bad Name
However, someone at the
Treasury Department told me
that big bills got sort of a bad
name during the war. Anyone
who walked into a bank with
a $1,000 bill ran the risk of
being suspected of black mar
ket dealings.
Black marketeers, tax dodg
ers and other shady operators
like to deal in big currency
because it fits so cozily into
safety deposit boxes.
Holtzclaw, who has been in
the money printing game for
about 40 years, can discuss
the subject in a detached man
ner, as though $10,000 bills
were so many pistachio nuts.
Specimen Sheet Impeded
But the conversation made
my claws ache to get holtz of
come.
Before I departed, he
brought out for my inspection
a specimen sheet of $100,000
bills. They were printed dur
ing the 1933 "bank holiday"
for use as collateral. None
ever got into general circula
tion. In a way, that is a pity. A
$100,000 bill would have made
a nice souvenir of the depression.
Try and Stop Me
-By BENNETT CERF-
A COLLEGE GRAD wangled his way into a tony pub
lisher's office and asked cheerfully, "Need a good edi'
tor?" "I do not"
"A proofreader, per
haps?" "Nope."
"A sixth assistant sec
retary?" "No. Sorry, but
we haven't any openings
at all at the moment."
"Then," said the appli
cant, "you certainly need
one of these." And from
his briefcase he produced
a neat metal sign read
ing, "No help wanted."
An army private signed
up for a correspondence
course In electrical engin
eering and was puzzled by
one question on the application blank. "How long has your pres
ent employer been in business?" It read. The private finally
answered, "Since 1776."
A Broadway publicity man bought a new electric typrewriter
and crawled under the desk with the extension cord to plug it in.
A client caught him In the act. "You press agents!" he chortled.
"Always looking for a plug."

Work on School
Longview - (UPD - Some 30
sign carrying mothers march
ed upon the St. Helens ele

The mothers favor a new
building instead of improve

our children."
Another said, "Beware, fire
trap." The demonstration started
about 9:30 a.m. at the front
steps of the school building
and continued throughout the
school district.
Demonstrators said the pro
test was touched off by a
school board decision last
month to proceed with renova
tion plans, which Included a

ing plant.
Mrs Helen Sorensen, a
spokesman, said "we want to
