Salvos of Cash in Musica Drug Theft Case
Federal investigators hope to salvage substantial cash from the 10 to 20 million dollars swindled from McKesson & Robbins by the Musica brothers led by F Donald Coster who killed himself. Indictments allege the trio ran fictitious sales to dummy firms and shifted profits through fake warehouse receipts. The losses may reach 20 million while broader probe links involved arms and China connections.

Heil Reopens Study of Budgets for Institutions
Governor Julius Heil today reviewed the Department of Mental Hygiene’s request for a 201,000 appropriation for the coming biennium. Haas, director of the department, outlined its personnel, buildings and larger fee funds. The department oversees the Southern Wisconsin Colony and Training School at Union Grove, the Northern Colony and Training School at Chippewa Falls, Mendota Hospital in Madison, and Winnebago Hospital at Winnebago. The La Follette reform transferred these institutions from the board of control to the new department with travel expenses for departmental staff. Haas noted a proposed sliding mileage schedule replacing a flat rate, and discussed funding for facilities and pay. He supported a $500 annual raise, arguing the hazard of the job justifies the increase.
