A special audit accuses George Palmer of the Iowa beer and liquor control department of diverting 1850 from Time Inc payments to his own account and spending 1504 for a departmental picnic. The report notes 700 deposited, 75 used for a Christmas party, 200 kept for tax, 100 unaccounted, and possible fabrication of overtime claims by five employees. Auditors call for the 1850 to be deposited to the state account and refer the matter to investigators.
