Protective measures urged to curb worthless checks
Sheriff Paul Gaither and Don Blatzheim outline several protective ideas to deter bad check writers. They plan to present options to businessmen, including a fingerprint based stub system and a patented fingerprint process. The goal is to simplify catching check forgers while acknowledging honest makers. FBI Chief Hoover cites a 500 million dollar bogus check racket as a fast growing crime.
