Landon charges bank examiner helped swap bonds for Kansas funds
Governor Alf Landon sent a letter to the federal comptroller accusing a National Bank of Topeka examiner identified as Mr Allen of taking part in a transaction that swapped $150000 in forged municipal bonds for an equal amount of State of Kansas funds. The claim ties to a broader Kansas bond swindle as investigators widen the probe to Finney’s cases and state officials consider impeachment proceedings.

Chicago August 22 AP The Farmers National Grain Corp, a leading cooperative marketing agency, posted an operating loss near 500000 for the year ended May 31. VP GM George S Milner noted total grain purchases and commission handling reached 160,754,732 bushels while stockholder-originated grain exceeded last year.
