neglect her own talent. Once she
saw some etchings of an un.

Her studio in Bethesda was al

gave her time and talent to help

10 all OF you who use checks
to pay your household bills
and that covers the vast ma ority
Of Americans-let this be a blunt
warning:
Check fraud is in a terrific up
surge. Last year alone, check
swindles In some areas rose by
rs per cent or more; in some
cities, this type Of crime doubled
or even trebled. An IL per cent
overall increase in arrests was
reported in SO cities.
Check fraud is rapidly be-
coming the Nations number one
financial crime. A conservative
estimate is these crooks are
swindling victims out Of $500
billion-plus a year-and the
victims are primarily little
fellows"
Amateur" - and women -
criminals are moving into the
lush field. Police characterize
"a per cent Of today's check
crooks as Amateurs" only 46
per cent as PROFESSIONAL
dramatically opposite to the
pattern Of only a few years ago.
And check fraud is no longer
IA mans game; one-flfth Of the
phony check passers now are
women.
Wide Variety Of Schemes
The crooks use a wide variety
OF MISUNDERSTANDING from the
passing Of a completely bogus
check drawn on a non-existent
bank, to the forging of a sigma
Iture on a legitimate check, to
raising the dollar amount on a
legitimate check. THE crook, -

What, then. should you do to
safeguard your own family bank
account against the bad-check
artists? Mr.. Adam suggests four
simple precautions:
ID Keep your signature out of
circulation. For instance, when
your monthly bank statement
with your Cancelled checks en-
closed is due. be on the lookout
for the envelope and take it out
Of your mailbox as soon as it

Cotton Pricing
Action Of u. 5.

ATLANTA. Ca. Sept. IL o.
A Tennessee Congressman sayt
testimony before a House sub.
committee clearly indicates that
Government cotton graders ART
deliberately downgrading cot,

Representative Ross Bass Of
Pulaski. Tenn. made the state
ment yesterday after he and
other members of the House SUBJ
committee on cotton spent -four
hours hearing testimony in At
lanta.
Mr.. Bass said If the down
grading Of cotton is allowed to
continue it will cost the cotton
farmers of Tennessee and the
South many millions Of dollars
lin addition to the $409 million
they have already lost under the
program this year."
H. L. Wineate, president Of the
Georgia Farm Bureau Associa-
ton, told the subcommittee he
had information word had been
passed to downgrade" cotton
and that the soil bank program
was a political dealn favoring
corn and wheat growers.
Mr.. Wingate and others also
criticized the Government cot
ton export program and the adj
miriistration's cotton program
generally. In calling the soil
bank program a political deal
Mr.. Wingate said "they are pay
ing corn and wheat growers so
per cent of parity and cotton
farmers 40 per cent of parity"
Mr.. Wingate's charges regard
ing cotton were denied by Rod
ney Whitaker, deputy director
OF the cotton division Of the Ag-
Iricultural Marketing Service. Mr..
Whitaker said cotton was graded
by fixed standards and his de-
|partment had received no in
Istructions from higher UP" on
how to grade the staple.
Mr.. Whitaker said more
spotted" cotton was being pro-
duced this year, but that he
could give no reason for nu-
rnerous reports concerning
alleged "downgradine."
