Detectives classify offenders into
several categories, topped by the
smooth-operating professionals
known in the trade as "check
artists." The pros, knowing all the
angles, are the toughest to hook.
Amateur Operatwt
Easier marks are the more
plentiful amateur operators, cata
logued as 1 1 local individuals who
on impulse pull a "caper" because
of financial straits: 2 transients
out for an easy buck before hitting
the road; tl youths in need 0
quick money to go or. a "fling."

amateurs do their writing on
phony accounts. In matter of over
drawn accounts, detectives observe
that mostly It's an act of careless
ness rather than design. But an
offender can still be hooked en a
misdemeanor if somebody wants
to sign a complaint.
Average 'Spree
Most check writers will average
from )0 to a couple hundred dol
lars when on a spree. Several
yean ago one cunning operator
passed some $2,000 worth before
the "pinch".
Detectives, who often are amazed
at the ease with which some pri
sons are "suckered" by check
passers, offer this bit of advice:
"Be careful of out-of-state checks.
A good share of them are likely
to bounce". '

In addition to hastened flood pre-
vent ion work, they wrote "succor
and aid for the present afflicatinn
may call for still other action In
the form of federal flood insur
ance." ,
The senators asked the President
"because of the urgency of the
situation ... to give Immediate
consideration to directing the allo
cation of any available funds for
expenditure on authorized flood
control projects in our state in
those areas where you find the
needs to be most pressing."
They said they would work for
added funds, and concluded:
"The probability ot success cn
this, effort would be improved if
recommendations of the executive
branch supported such appropria
tion." Meanwhile Rep. Ellsworth R
Ore forecast speedy House action
on legislation to make additional
disaster loan funds available for
West Coast flood relief.
Ellsworth is one of several to In
troduce legislation along this line.
He said the bills would not in
crease the total amount the Small
Business Administration is au
thorized to lend but would make
"any or all of the 175 million dol
lar existing authorization available
for loans in disaster areas."
