Among other commercial instru-
ments the museum displays, there
is one of the first checks drawn,
dating from 1914; a check written
by George Washington; another
drawn by Henry Ford for one cent
payable to an autograph cOllec-
tori; a rubber check that did not
bounce; a wooden check; one of
Helen Keller's checks made out in
Braille; and a check from Santa
Claus, paid to someone in need.
In most cases. the signatures are
easy to read, which is good for his
torians tracing checks of famous
persons, and bad for the banks.
Most banks would rather you develop
a practically illegible scrawl for a
check signature. Seems that neat
handwriting is easy to duplicate,
while chicken-scratch names put
strain on even master forgers.

Anything For Money

NTOST people who have occasion
lV1 to write checks rely on the
simple rectangular forms supplied
by the bank, and the banks like it
better that way. But, according to
most banking practices, anything
will do for check, as long as the
proper information is indelibly car
ried on it. In the past, materials as
diverse as eggshells and cricket bats
have been used. One of the most
unusual checks ever written was
inscribed by a welding machine
on a steel plate. At the bank on which
the check was drawn, it was cancelled
by guard who peppered the plate
with machine-gun bullets. This steel
check, that never would have
bounced, is one of collection of
unusual checks in the Money Mu-
scum of the Chase Manhattan Bank,
New York City.

part of the trouble stems from
the silence of the big powers
on South African policies.
He proposed that the United
States and Britain be asked by
the Council to present the
South African government an
appeal to abandon apartheid or
segregation.
IF the Union government
fails to respond to the appeals
Of the Security Council. he
said. "the government and peo-
pie Of Ghana urge the Council
to take economic or diplomatic
sanctions against the Union
government"
Second Step Indicated
This apparently was intended
as a possible second step if the
South African government ig-
nored a resolution worked out
by a group of African and
Asian nations for submission to
the Council later today.
The agreed proposal would
make no mention of possible
sanctions, but would call for
an end of apartheid. 1t also
would deplore action of South
African police against Negro
demonstrators.
South African Delegate Ber-
nardus Gerhardus Fourie,
meanwhile, continued to stand
aloof from the debate. He sat

chamber, where he took his DO
sition yesterday after with
drawing from the Council table

the racial problem is a domes-
tic matter not subject to United

pared the actions and policies

said, ARE not a mere internal
matter, any more than the Nazi
policies and practices were"
