Teen-Ager Is Held For Check Forgery CHICAGO fUPIi — A Missouri teen-ager told amazed authorities how he regularly commuted here by plane from his suburban St. Louis home to cash $228 in phony checks, according to police. The boy, James Brennan, 15, Richmond Heights, was arrested in the First National Bank of Chicago Tuesday when he tried to cash another check for $75. That check and three earlier drafts were all made payable to Walter C. Cleave, vice president of a downtown investment securities house.
The checks, endorsed with Cleave’s name, were so perfectly forged they passed inspection by bank tellers, police said. Brennan told police he was in the Chicago bank last month when he noticed Cleave making a deposit in his bank account. Moving closer, the tall, clean - cut youth quietly copied Cleave’s signature. Back in Maplewood High School in Richmond Heights, where he is editor of the school newspaper, Brennan practiced writing Cleave's signature until he had it down pat, police said. Then he allegedly wrote phony checks on Missouri banks and sighed fictitious names. The youth was caught when the Missouri banks reported the fraudulent checks and bank clerks were told to watch for similar checks. When Brennan tried to pass his $75 check Tuesday, police moved in and he confessed. ‘T've been doing this sort of thing since I was 13,” Brennan was quoted by police. "It a was an easy way to get money.” He explained he would take a morning plane from St. Louis, grab a taxicab from the airport to the bank and catch the late afternoon flight back home. In St. Louis. Brennan’s mothertold police it was the 10th time her son had been in trouble. Brennan was held without charge pending further investigation by the Chicago Youth Bureau.

Mitchell, NIPSCo president, revealed today. “The payment represents an Increase of $231,171.12 over last , year's installment,’” Mitchell said, “making us one of the largest single taxpayers in the state of Indiana.” Michael J. Pryor. Decatur district manager, said that local taxes paid by the utility in Adams county amounted to $11,811.57, of which $9,252.89 went to the city of Decatur. NIPSCO tax checks were sent to local district managers well ahead of the tax payment deadline to make sure county treasurers received them in plenty of time, • Payless Paydays For Michigan Lawmakers LANSING, Mich. (UPI) — Gov. G. Mennen Williams drafted a timetable for state fiscal collapse today after ordering payless paydays for lawmakers and judges. The order followed an unexpected decision by state Senate Republicans Tuesday to shelve a stop-gap plan to convert the veterans trust fund to cash. .“This will do incredible and lasting damage to the state,” Williams said. “It is a disaster of the first magnitude.” Williams scheduled a cabinet meeting today to formulate “an orderly program for the suspension of essential state obligations until such time as the legislature provides money to meet them.” Williams halted processing of about 325 checks . totaling more than SIOO,OOO for the legislature, supreme and circuit courts. Williams said the $3,100,000 payroll scheduled May 7 for 28,000 other state employes, including, himself, will not be met unless emergency funds are provided. The order came less than two hours after a GOP Senate caucus voted solidly to junk a plan to cash in the veterans trust fund. A new bill will be substituted. It would tack a one-cent use tax on to the trust fund plan — but May 11 is the earliest it could clear the legislature. ‘lt’s our answer to both the immediate cash crisis and the longrange revenue problem,” said Senate Majority Leader Frank D. Beadle. The governor was bitter. “The action of the Senate Republican ~ caucus makes —it —clear that they are determined to have payless paydays and now they have their wish,” Williams, sixterm Democratic governor, said. “In effect, they have, decided to let the State of Michigan go down the drain.”

NafiohsOfßed Bloc Line Up Behind Russia WARSAW (UPI) — The Warsaw Pact nations and Communist China lined up behind Russia today with a renewed demand that the Western Allies quit West Berlin and a warning that Western nu-clear-iflktsile policies threaten the Geneva conference. A communique published today after two days of meetings here announced the Communist bloc had given its expected approval to the proposals Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko will take with him to the Geneva East-West meeting May 11. The Communist bloc repeated Moscow . warnings that arming West Germany with nuclear weapons and rockets on the eve orthe conference hurt its chances of success and threatened world peace. Gromyko, speaking Tuesday night at • reception, also warned the West against taking “any onesided steps” before the Geneva meeting. Unfortunately, he added, the “West is seeking very intensively to make such one-sided, such unilateral actions.” He did not elaborate but Western observers ‘believed he meant American high-level flights to West Berlin and the delivery of missiles to U.S. NATO Allies. The communique was signed by Gromyko and the foreign ministers or deputies of Albania, Bulgaria, * Hungary, East Germany, Communist China, Poland. Romania and Czechoslovakia. A Polish spokesman called it “moderate” in tone and Gromyko added, "Well, if they say that, it is an objective statement.” The two main problems outlined by the communique were the "liquidation” of the Allied occupation of West Berlin and the writing of a German peace treaty. The communique showed in sharp relief the differences between the Western and Soviet stands on Berlin and Germany as both sides made final preparations for Geneva. The West rejects unconditional troop withdrawal from Berlin and contends the problem of a final peace treaty for Germany is bound up with reunification which it calls a responsibility for the four wartime victors and not the two Germany s.

Milwaukee To Score Seaway First Today MILWAUKEE (UPD—This Lake Michigan port city scores a "seaway first” today. The Dutch freighter, Prins Johan Willem Friso, of the FjellOranje Line, was scheduled to dock here at 4 p. m. as the first ocean-ship to reach a Lake Michigan port through the St. Lawrence Seaway. Until late Thursday, the Friso had been ticketed for its first berth ,nt Chicago, which has planned a civic reception. But the Milwaukee agent for the Fjell line persuaded the Friso captain, Sander Klein, to put in here first with his Milwaukee cargo of steel, wine and hides. The Friso was steaming down the lake far ahead of its nearest rival, an American express cargo ship, which was 15 hours behind the Duteh- vessef The Dutch ship began its trip through the seaway last Saturday when it was opened to ships of all nations. A fire boat and other craft will greet the Friso at the city's harbor entrance. Mayor Frank Zeidler will head a group of civic officials, who will be “piped aboard” the Friso by a four-man color guard of the U. S. Naval Reserve, and to the strains of music from the police department band. Insetad of the traditional plaque awarded to the skipper of the first ship of the season. Captain Klein and the Fjell line will be given a sterling silver bowl.

Santa Regina of the Grace Line, was expected to dock at Chicago Thursday. The Regina passed Detroit about midnight. The Friso cleared the Straits of Mackinac at 1:20 a.m., EST., today, giving it a lead of more than 300 miles, about the length of the Lower Peninsula of Michigan, over the Santa Regina. Chicago officials were preparing a royal welcome to the first ocean ship to reach the city.

The jam was caused at 7:55 p. m. when a fuse blew in the controller mechanism of the lift bridge that carries railway and highway traffic over the Beauharnois Canal near Valleyfield, some 30 miles southwest of Montreal.
