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

For more than almost any other

be committed by a person in a
position of trust.

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. '

tation for honesty, FaD finds. The
other big motivations are gam

firm must do:
1. Se up, with the aid of a
competent accountant, a detailed
system of internal control over
cash receipts, disbursements, and

materials. This will discourage the
embezzler, and if he should suc
cumb to the temptation to steal,
make it more difficult for him to

From the ease files, here it a
prime example of what an happen

take the checks to the secretary

PfeMie Added
Bu the head bookkeeper let the
accommodating payroll clerk, a

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.
