Hollands Name
Forged On Check

The Florida SheriiI's associa-
ton has asked Police Chief Louis
Eisner to be on the lookout for a
hot check artist who forged the
name of Spessard L. Holland,
former governor of Florida and
now candidate for U. S. Sena-
tor, to q check for $40.
The check, the sheriff's assoc
citation told Chief Eisner, was
passed in Pensacola on The Polk
County National Bank, which
has been out of existence for ten
years. The forger is thought to
be Charles E. Brown, who, police
say, was released from the state
prison at Raiford six years ago.
Chief Eisner has sbeen asked
to notify hotels and restaurants
in Key West to keep an eye
peeled for the forger, who is
said to cash the rubber checks
in such establishments.

Freed Writers Tell Horror
Of Battle Of Changchung
sBy Associated press,

CHUNGKING, April 29.To-
day the full account of the battle
that ragged six days for the cap
ture of Changchung, capital of
Manchuria, was given to the
world by one of the five Ameri-
can correspondents, who we're
taken prisoners when the capital
fell to the Communists.
He said that an army of 10000
Communists, some of them in
tattered clothing that resembled
that worn by ragamuffins, adj
vanced slowly on Chungchung.
Some of them had Japanese
rifles, but most of them were
armed with outmoded American
rifles. On the last day of the
fight, the Communists laid down

The Nationalist, outnumbered
three to one, rctreated doggedly

of the capital. The Communists
frightened the enlightenment and
finally forced the defenders into
six government buildings. from
which they fought until they
realized that further resistance
was futile.
Meanwhile, General Marshall
is still holding conferences with
representatives of the National
list and Communist forces, and
he said he hoped an agreement
would be reached by them be-
fore the end of this week.
