CCC contends ineligibility and misused funds. Jury found Parks discharged for insubordination, not dishonesty, and not liable for misappropriating CCC funds. CCC seeks $5,910 and extra damages. Parks, now in Albuquerque, was employed Aug 27, 1956 to Feb 7, 1969. A judgment motion will follow with a January hearing anticipated.
