Bonding Company To Pay $2 006 Shortage In Licenses
Des Moines AP Public Safety Commissioner Karl W. Fischer said he will receive a 2006.30 dollar check from American Surety Co in full settlement of the 1939 Iowa driver's license shortage. He noted final approval by the executive council is needed to relieve the company of further liability. The shortage arose from renewals and affected four department employees after an audit found funds from more than 4 000 renewals, totaling 50 cents each. Fischer called it an accounting loss, not embezzlement, and said a second audit and county-by-county clerical review delayed settlement. The issue has stirred Democratic criticism of the current administration.

Democrats End Smear Wilson Campaign In Des Moines
Des Moines reports say Democrats abandoned a smear campaign against Governor George A. Wilson as John K Valentine seeks the governorship. The Republican state headquarters claim the Democrats long smeared mortgage foreclosures while Valentine has aided foreclosure actions and served as a utility lawyer. They argue New Deal prosperity reduced farm tenancy only after Wilson’s policy changes and note 3,000 former tenants became landowners.
