Ex RFC Official Accused of Dual Roles With Borrower
A former RFC official, Allen E. Freeze of Dallas, is accused of working for Texmass Petroleum while drawing an RFC salary of 10,750 annually. RFC Administrator W Stuart Symington said he referred the case to the Justice Department and ordered civil action to recover roughly 4,000 to 6,000 in salary. Freeze, who resigned last September to join Texmass as vice president and comptroller, allegedly began taking Texmass pay months before leaving the RFC and continued business with Texmass from his RFC office. Texmass secured a 15.1 million loan commitment, with the RFC advancing 14.275 million, a move criticized by the Fulbright committee. Freeze denied the charges in Dallas. He is also an official of Texas Consolidated Oil Inc. formerly Texmass Petroleum Corp.
