Bankers Stung by Forged Kerr-McGee Bonds
A Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis official said at least two local banks took on about 270000 in forged Kerr-McGee securities as loans during routine examinations. The forgeries involved legitimate securities from the Oklahoma oil firm led by Senator Robert Kerr. No arrests were noted and insured banks would not absorb the losses.

Judge-Prosecutor Loses His Case In Chicago Trial
A jury acquitted Maurice Weinzelbaum, 44, of defrauding Evanston jeweler and optometrist Marshall A. Stone, 38, of $10,000 after deliberating nearly four hours in Criminal Court before Judge Richard B. Austin. The former prosecutor had alleged Weinzelbaum fled to Brazil to escape debts totaling about $500,000, while Austin noted others were owed sums but would not sign complaints due to fear of publicity.
