Public interest in RFC scandals sparks Senate hearings
Donald Dawson agrees to testify before the Senate Committee probing RFC scandals amid revelations of mink coats, free Florida hotel stays, and undue influence in loans. The RFC will be overseen by a single administrator, replacing a five member commission, as past figures like Hoover, Jones, and Eccles call for its elimination. Loans cited include hotels, soft drink firms, theatres, beauty parlors, and even a snake farm, highlighting taxpayer risk and questionable subsidies. Other notes cite a Cleveland plant lease scheme where a government agency rented to one firm and then leased to another for profit, prompting further inquiries.
