ST PAUL AP Two top Minnesota officials spar over idle cash handling. Atty Gen Mondale faults non interest bearing deposits and potential lost earnings while Treasurer Bjornson defends investing idle funds and cites a 1949 law. Mondale claims June idle collections averaged 8 million dollars with possible 20 thousand in interest. Bjornson argues for prudent, speedy transfers to meet bank clearings and notes most idle funds relate to highway accounts. Both stress fiscal responsibility while differing on investments and public discussion tone.
