STAFFORD Asseiated Press Writer Lusty old Norfolk, Va., hardened years of service as a play- found of seafaring men, felt a apple of shock as citizens picked jp their newspapers one morning si December. Linked in headlines were the lame Minnie Mangrum, and the rime, embezzlement. Readers were accustomed to so- ial items about the lavish parties Bliss Minnie a woman of promi nence gave for friends. And mem lers of her church knew she had iven generously ($8,800) to the uilding fund. But the news stories said the 2 year-old spinster had been ac cused of taking funds from the ommonwealth Building and Loan Assn., which she served in the 10,000-a-year post as assistant fecretary-treasurer. Now, Miss Mangum awaits trial. Dn April 1 an indictment accused fcer of embezzling $2,884,957.06 from ommonwealth over the last 32 ears. talks Drop Open Norfolk reacted like any other 'community, business or individual i whose trust has been violated. Mouths dropped open. For more than almost any other crime, embezzlement, produces a reaction of shock. It alone must be committed by a person in a position of trust. President B. H.

But nothing of recent record, Mercer says, can touch the knavery' In 1931 of the head of a building and loan- association in Hollywood, Calif. He bought up some Hollywood real estate and sank money in other business schemes "Some of his ventures turned sour, and to bolster them he pumped in more and more of the- association's funds," Mercer says. -Bobble Bant "By the time the bubble burst, be had embezzled (7.661,793 practically all of the assets of the firm. The institution promptly folded." FaD believes increasing dis honesty by employes is tied to a rosy economy. The tendency of employers to become increasingly sales and production conscious has taken the emphasis away from internal checks and controls, making em bezzlement an easier task. And a tightening labor market has loosened employe screening. ' Living on too grand a scale most oftea costs a man his repu tation for honesty, FaD finds. The other big motivations are gam bling or speculation, women, and family Illness. Feminine employes are 'a little different A woman most often sacrifices her honesty at the altar of "nice things" imported lingerie, for example. Indebtedness and the care of dependents are other strong motives for female embezzlers. Minnie Mangum'i minister bat said, "I believe she was so anx ious for gratitude that she felt compelled to go out and buy it." Precise details of Miss Man gum's operations won't go on the; record until her trial, but eight of the 16 indictments voted against her by a grand jury allege forgery of the name of Roy F. Phillips on checks and three accuse her of making false statements to the State Corporation Commission. The others charge embezzlement, grand larceny or both. Witness Against Phillips it the former president of Commonwealth, and was a wit ness, against Miss Mangum. The association was wrecked by the losses, and in February was taken over by another loan association. Employes' methods in getting away with big sum varies, but John H. Jackson, of F.&D.'s claims department, says they almost al ways involve a breakdown in a system of safeguards, often the failure of a trustworthy employe to carry out a simple assignment. same as a regular 1, 200 second shutter exposure. For focus tests, Mito first placed the camera on a table and got a picture of the men crowded around it. Then he placed the camera on a building roof and got a circular panoramic shot of Tokyo's skyline. This present model it the re sult of three years of do-it-yourself home work on Mito's part His first model, started in 1953. took 1.200 hours to complete after the plans were made. It was crude and the size of a large press camera. But it worked. Then came the refinements to make it easily hand-held, depend able in operation and a precision instrument photographically. - What about the camera's fu ture? Military I'aet It has captured the keen atten tion of military men in Tokyo who see tremendous possibilities in its tactical and reconnaissance use. It has certain advantages in the news and commercial fields also. - Cost? On a small scale, Mito estimates it may run to about $700 to manufacture. However, this could be cut in h a 1 f, he There are two main things a firm must do: 1. Se up, with the aid of a competent accountant, a detailed system of internal control over cash receipts, disbursements, and merchandise, equipment and other materials. This will discourage the embezzler, and if he should suc cumb to the temptation to steal, make it more difficult for him to conceal hit thefts. 1 To be on the safe side, carry a substantial amount of honesty insurance. . From the ease files, here it a prime example of what an happen when a imnl! cog tlipt in the system of internal control: The payroll clerk of a firm In Houston, Tex., was supposed to make out the payroll, write em ploye checks and take them to the bead bookkeeper who checked them against the list of employes. The head bookkeeper wat luppoted to take the checks to the secretary for his signature and then distri bute them to employes. PfeMie Added Bu the head bookkeeper let the accommodating payroll clerk, a headworking matronly woman, take the checks to the secretary. On her way, she would add phony checks to the pile. After the secre tary had signed the checks, she would remove the phony ones and return the legitimate checks to the head bookkeeper for distribution. IOTED 'TLV.I OFFER UGH?
