Reds Draw Rebuke For Banquets
Pravda reports growing misuse of public funds for lavish banquets across the Soviet Union. In a Komsomol style critique, officials from a hydroelectric company near the Iranian border held costly events, funded by staff and misnamed expenses. Geographically, Leningrad and Tbilisi feature in the exposé, with hundreds of attendees and meals padded to the state. The piece urges crackdowns on misappropriation and warns public money must be handled with strict care.
