Oklahoma governor accused of diverting campaign funds
Tulsa AP report says about 10,000 dollars a month in political contributions were diverted to pay Gov. David Hall's personal bills since his 1971-1973 tenure. Former aide W Sunny Jenkins testified before grand juries that funds went to Hall's secretary Mrs C J Ralls, with some funds reaching Hall personally via others. Jenkins claimed he handled monthly amounts from October 1971 to April 1973, and that the scheme used architects, engineers, contractors, and state vendors as donors. Hall was away skiing in Utah and Rose Bowl plans delayed.
