Senate Group Scores RFC Directors for Abusing Authority
Washington Feb 200 1 A White House aide named by the Senate Banking Committee as part of a five member RFC group faced allegations that three directors abused the loan agency’s authority by yielding to outside influence. Walter L Dunham William E Willett and C Edward Rowe were accused while Chairman W Elmer Hatcher and Walter Cosgriff were not charged. The report notes Donald Dawson closely advised President Truman and sought to dominate RFC but offers no conclusion on others. Dunham denied wrongdoing asserting no subservience to Dawson. The committee cites evidence of Dawson’s influence and says Dunham cooperated with Democratic officials and Bogles staff while giving special attention to matters of interest to them.

Traffic Case Heard In Police Court Friday
Seven local witnesses testified Friday night in a colorblindness claim against Paul E. Howitt of Military Pole S at the Naval Gun Factory Washington. Magistrate Alton Y. Bennett fined Howitt 2.50 for running a red light near Church and Market, causing a collision with Charles R. Wisner of Frederick. Wisner was found not guilty on an identical charge. Citations were issued by Oliver Halph Potts as Howitt produced a CO statement claiming extensive driving experience. Wisner’s counsel, Robert F. E. Clapp Jr, presented six witnesses supporting his client’s account that he stopped for a red light on East Churett before proceeding. Howitt’s green light testimony was contradicted by Wisner’s witnesses, who said the red light prevailed at the intersection. Only other case heard was George Wiles of Frederick, forfeiting 5.80 collateral on intoxication charges.
