It was not error to deny appellant's motion for acquittal on the ground of insufficient evidence of his knowledge of the presence of drugs concealed in the door panel of his truck. United States v. Gonzalez-Carrillo, 411 F.2d 1057 (9th Cir. 1969).
It was not error to admit evidence as to the value of the concealed drugs. Gaylor v. United States, 426 F.2d 288 (9th Cir. 1970); Current v. United States, 287 F.2d 268 (9th Cir. 1961).
Judgment affirmed.
