SET TRAP Wm THIEF Dishursement of Bomds To Be Almost Crook-proof, Say Federal Postoffice inspectors and secret ser vice men said they are prepared to move swiftly against anv one who geeks to rob veterans of their bonus payments. : The two agencies say that plans for the large-scale bonus dishusement scheduled to start June 156 are “as nearly crookproof ag they can Le made.” : “mhe criminal possibilities should ba very small,” one postoffice official said. © “The bonds will be delivered only to the addressee in person. ‘Most of these people are known to their mail men. ‘

“The bonds are worthless to anyone but the man named on them. Before he could get cash fcr the bonds, 2| person would have to be personally, dentified as being the veteran named Again, he’d have to pass the scrutiny of a banker in attempting to cash the check sent in payment.” : Eighty postoffice inspectors have heen specificlly detailed to aid post masters throughout the country to make their bonusg payment plans «“tool proof”, but all the 400 inspectors have been instructed to help. ? If any person misleads a postman, agsuming the name of a veteran to ret possession of his benus bonds, postoffice inspectors will be prepared to prosecute. The penalty for making misrepresentations to get ppssession of registered mail ig five years in jail 82,000 fine, or both. ~ But a person who unlawfully ottain ed possession of a veteran’s bonds without being caught would still have other hurdles ﬁe would have tn get some one known to postal officials to jdentify him as the veteran before the bonds could be certified for cash’ payment After that, he’qd have to forge the endorsement on the check. Both these crimeg draw fifteenyear penitentiary sentences nnder fed eral laws. ; “we don’t expect any trouble, though,” a treasury official commenrted. “People generally know the penalty is severe and the gecrat service is alert.”
