Republicans Call for Probe Into Russian Printed Money Redemption
Three Republican senators Bridges Ferguson and Knowland demand a full investigation into reports that German occupation money printed by Russian authorities was redeemed with American dollars. They say printing plates were given to the Russians by U S officials and claim redemptions total 400 million to 900 million dollars, with the affair hidden as a deficit. The war department had noted a surplus of German currency and promised a complete report to Congress, which has not surfaced.
