Shortage Found in Poweshiek Soil District Audit
State Auditor Lloyd Smith reported a $722.25 deficit in the Poweshiek county soil conservation district revolving fund after a 17 month period ending January 23. Five state warrants and 12 checks, plus miscellaneous items totaling $1,288.28, were cashed by Charlene Mitchell of Brooklyn, a former district clerk. Deposits totaling $567 could not be matched to receipts, leaving the shortfall. Mitchell served as clerk from October 1973 until suspension January 23. The report was referred to the district board and county attorney Donald Schild, with copies to the attorney general and the bureau of criminal investigation. Schild hopes to decide within a month on possible criminal charges.

The EPA would permit fast supersonic transports to fly commercially into the United States if FAA adopts the rules. Production aircraft like Concorde would be allowed, while unbuilt SSTs must meet strict noise limits, with reports noting SSTs would be louder and noisier than subsonic jets. Public hearings would follow EPA submission to FAA.
