Police Seek Check Passer Continued from Page 1 checks there, local police here described the check passer as "a well-dressed, smooth-talking individual," who has passed five checks in this area, all made out for the sum of $20 each. The checks were all drawn on the Santa Ana branch of the Bank of America. All were returned with the notation "unable to find above account." The check passer was described as five feet eight inches tall, weighing about 170 pounds, between 22 and 30 years old, has light brown hair and usually attired in a gray suit and Panama hat. He is reported to be driving a light gray Nash automobile. Chief Mark Stephenson said the check passer gives his address as 1665 East 129 street in Compton and endorses the checks as John L. Howell. The checks are signed by a George B. Simpson, Stephenson said. Stephenson warned local merchants against accepting checks from unknown individuals despite presentation of what may seem to be iron-clad identification. It is too easy for such identification to be forged, he pointed out. In what may be a step to thwart bad check artists, is adopted, Sgt. E. Roger Sherman advanced the suggestion that merchants ask check presenters to make a fingerprint impression on the corner of the paper, a procedure similar to that of applicants requesting driver's licenses. Police feel adoption of such a method would do much to eliminate bad checks passed in this area. They also pointed out adop- Excess In State General Fund Reach New High State Controller Thomas H. Kuchel this week announced that the general fund excess over current obligations on May 31, 1946, was the largest in the state's history; having reached the all-time high of $196,707,757. The previous all-time high was $173,628,-772; which was recorded on August 31, last year. The present cash excess, said Kuchel, represents an increase of $30,010,465 over the excess on April 30, 11946. Of this increase, $29,904,439 represents the excess of May, 1946, revenues over governmental cost disbursements, and $46,026 represents miscellaneous non-revenue receipts. General fund revenues deposited in the state treasury during the first eleven months of the present fiscal year totaled $349,-628,668, an increase of $76,926,825, or 18.21 per cent over revenues during the corresponding period last year. The major portion of the revenue increase occurred in the general fund's share of retail sales and use taxes, which increased $56,765,920 over the same period last year. Of this amount, however, only $27,684,557 was due to greater collections of sales tax this year. The remainder of the total increase, or $29,101,343, represents a technical increase resulting from the fact that last year 20 per cent of the sales and use taxes were earmarked for the In what may be a step to thwart bad check artists, is adopted, Sgt.

Police feel adoption of such a method would do much to eliminate bad checks passed in this area. They also pointed out adoption of such a method would give them a positive means of identification should an unwary merchant receive a bad check from an individual with a previous police record. MRS. O. G. PAYNE VISITING SISTER IN MICHIGAN NOW Mrs. G. O. Payne, 201 East Broadway, left last Tuesday for Michigan where she will visit her sister for several months. Lake Cerenac and local show spots there will be included on her vacation. The major portion of the revenue increase occurred in the general fund's share of retail sales and use taxes, which increased $56,765,920 over the same period last year. Of this amount, however, only $27,664,557 was due to greater collections of sales tax this year. The remainder of the total increase, or $29,101,343, represents a technical increase resulting from the fact that last year 20 per cent of the sales and use taxes were earmarked for the postwar employment reserve, where this year no such earmarking was done, as the statute requiring it became inoperative after June 30, 1945.

P. Thaxton, USO housing director for the past three years and to accept further applications for veteran housing. The office was transferred to Hodgkins at a recent meeting of officials. He has been handling the facilities of the federal housing property and overseeing the building of the project since its establishment in this city. The housing service, as conducted by Mrs. Thaxton for the past three years is discontinued. This service was conducted in her home from Sept. 5, 1943 to Sept. 15, 1945 and was strictly volunteer service during that time. On Sept. 15, 1945, the office was moved to the Red Cross chapter rooms at 142 East Center street with Mrs. Thaxton as director of housing service. Her work during these three years has been most commendable, many long, hard hours spent in helping the serviceman and veteran to find living accommodations for them and their families. Applications have gradually decreased since January of this year until all requests now are veterans, chiefly local veterans. The average number of applications repairs the same as in the past two years, the only difference being veterans in place of service-men are seeking housing facilities. Many requestss have come in but Mrs. Thaxton hasn't taken any applications for present disposition until those on file have been taken care of. The final report of the past USO housing service shows that the last four months of 1943 are incorporated in the 1944 report. During this year a total of 955 applications were received with a total placement of 445. During 1945, placements were 455 from a total of 970 applications. From January, 1946 to June, 1946, 454 applications were received with 156 placements made. The grand total from Sept. 5, 1943 to June, 1946, shows the staggering number of 2,279 applications received by Mrs. Thaxton, and a total placement during this time of 1,056. For June of this year, 85 applications were received with 51 placements made, including those assigned to the temporary housing project. This project is still in the process of building and is scheduled to be completed next month. Additional families will be placed as the living quarters are completed. "The association, with citizens of Anaheim, have responded so whole-heartedly with this emergency, and it has been a privilege," stated Mrs. Thaxton. A proclamation was special election to be held in the 35th senate was signed today Warren. The senate been vacant since Tchel resigned early order to accept a state controller.
