Treasury probes First National City Bank free use of public funds
House Banking Committee chairman Wright Patman calls for a General Accounting Office review after National City Bank of New York received nearly $39 million in free use funds to cover earnings lost due to its bookkeeping error. The bank twice paid $38.8 million for an Export Import Bank promissory note and later gained access to the funds for 2 months, potentially earning far more as rates rose. The bank returned the money after the error was found. Patman seeks recovery of any proceeds and an explanation of the legal basis for the transaction.

Flood aid denied to many New Jersey flood victims
Federal disaster aid remains unavailable to thousands in federally declared flood zones in New Jersey after Hurricane Donna. The Flood Insurance Act excludes residents who did not purchase subsidized flood policies, with low income families exempt. Elizabeth was among the hardest hit, with about 20,000 dwelling units flooded and damage estimated in the millions. Washington officials said thousands statewide may be ineligible, despite the $20 million federal relief pool.
