Another handwriting expert testified that the handwriting was not that of Naumcheff. Capt. Thomas R. McGaff, head of the sheriff's identification bureau, said it was Naumcheff writing. Henry Silver, Los Angeles expert produced by Defense Attorney James Monore, said he wasn't Naumcheff's. The name "Ray Collins" was signed to a note which obtained a short-term loan of $200 from the Bank of America in Anaheim. A Santa Ana bank made a 30-day loan of $400 to a man who signed the note "B. R. Myers" to the note there. Manager Oscar E. Hanson of the Anaheim bank identified Naumcheff as "Myers." Three other bankers from Southern California also identified Naumcheff as the man who got loans from them. Deputy District Attorney Walter Steiner, prosecuting the case introduced a record showing that Naumcheff had served a term in San Quentin for forgery. The prosecution then rested its case. Anaheim Red Cross Chapter Hears Report on Local Disaster Work At the meeting of the Board of Anaheim Chapter, American Red Cross, held on Wednesday, C. Wm. Bland, Disaster chairman, made his report on the work done during the recent flood. All members of the Disaster committee were called, and all responded immediately. It was at first feared that much evacuation work would need to be done in Anaheim, but only a few persons were brought to the headquarters established in the Elks club. The worst damage was done in the town of Los Alamitos, where the Los Alamitos Naval Air Station, being for the Red Cross, took over the work of rescue and evacuation, doing an outstanding job. Between 250 and 300 were housed in the Station, with the Red Cross paying all expense of their care. Typhoid inoculations were given all those taken to the station, and to others requesting it. For the Blood program, Mrs. P. H. Nelson, chairman, it was announced that, as they have done for the two previous years, Kwikset Locks, Inc., will take over the Mobile visit on Feb. 15. Due to crowded conditions at the plant, the unit will be set up at the Thomas Jeefferson school, with the company giving their employees time off, and furnishing transportation, for the donations.

It has not been so mighty late-ly, nor shouting so loudly. In fact, one lone dollar has become a pitiful thing in terms of the goods it will buy in retail stores across the country. That is why the big news of the day is that help for the harried shopper is here. The dollar comes into its own again in Anaheim on Friday and Saturday, Feb. 8 and 9, when through the concentrated efforts of the Retail division of the Chamber of Commerce, Dollar Days return to Anaheim. BIG DEAL Your shopping dollar will go farther on Friday and Saturday than it has in a long, long time. We know for we have been in the stores watching the merchandise being priced. It is easily apparent that more planning and more effort has been put into this tremendous semi-annual event than ever before.

(P) — Publisher R. C. Holles and radio station owner Roy Hofheinz finished the final phase of their two-night debate on public schools here last night.

Speaking before 1,500 in the high school auditorium, Hofhein Cal-Transit Lines are owned and operated by B. J. Smith of Monrovia, Calif. Chairman Swanberger said that other companies are also interested in furnishing similar service. He reported that a meeting of interested merchants was held last week to discuss the need in Anaheim for both within-the-city and inter-city service. Attending that meeting were Mrs. Martha Schumacher, Jack Ballard, Oscar Solter, Swanberger and Charles McCallum, field secretary of the Chamber. Stressing the need for prompt action in this matter, Swanberger appointed I. F. McKinley and Ernest Owston on the Transportation committee to work with these others in securing as much information as possible to present to the Retail Division members at their next meeting.

Hoiles and radio station owner Roy Hofheinz finished the final phase of their two-night debate on public schools here last night. The 23-year-old publisher is against tax-supported schools. His 39-year-old opponent is for them. Speaking before 1,500 in the high school auditorium, Hofheinz drew applause when he said Hoiles could leave the country any time he wanted to. Hoiles, in turn, was applauded when he replied: "But it is the moral duty of a man to stay here and not run away from something he thinks is wrong." Hoiles bought three Rio Grande Valley newspapers last fall — the Valley Evening Monitor in McAllen, the Valley Morning Star in Harlingen and the Brownsville Evening Herald. Rumblings of protest began after Hoiles ran editorials attacking the morality of tax-supported schools. In the question and answer barrage arranged for last night, Hofheinz asked Hoiles: "Do you think it right for owners of the controlling stock to control your newspapers?" "Yes, sir," replied Hoiles. "Does your family own controlling stock?" Hofheinz asked. "Yes, sir." "Do you think exercise of the majority vote is immoral." And Holies replied: "Control should be in proportion to the sacrifice put in." "If they didn't like it, they could get out," Hofheinz added. "Yes," Hoiles replied. "But they wouldn't have to leave the country." Hoiles declared that any taxation is an initiation of force. Hofheinz said that the obligation of citizenship is either paying taxes or leaving the country. Delcared Hoiles: "Schools, like churches, should be supported on a voluntary basis."
