Carter nominee banker grilled in Senate over loans and experience
Temple banker H K Allen faced sharp questioning by Sen. William Proxmire and Sen. Adlai Stevenson III at his confirmation hearing for vice chairman of Eximbank. Proxmire cited First National Bank of Dallas loans totaling about 1 million and below prime rates, plus an FBI stock loan inquiry. Stevenson urged withdrawal to avoid embarrassment, but Carter defended Allen's qualifications and noted his commitment to resign if confirmed. EXIMBANK, created in 1934, advances U S financing to foreign governments and buyers of American goods.
