RFC Official Questions RFC Over Lustron Loans
Representative Cole of Kansas pressed the Reconstruction Finance Corp to explain why it did not monitor Lustron Corp loans more closely. Lustron, a Columbus firm, borrowed 37.5 million and defaulted on 36 billion in loans, with alleged overcharges totaling over 500 thousand paid to Commercial Home Equipment Corp for hauling prefab houses. The RFC said overcharges occurred monthly from November 1948 to February 1950. Cole questioned why RFC staff at Lustron did not detect the overcharges sooner, noting the agency kept engineers and loan examiners at Lustron headquarters full time.
