RFC Official Held Two Jobs at Once
Washington, June 18. Administrator Stuart Symington accused former RFC official Allen E. Freeze of holding dual employment with an RFC borrower and the RFC simultaneously. Freeze resigned as assistant comptroller to become vice president and comptroller of Texmass Corp., earning $22,500 yearly, with later salary increases.

Texmass received a $15,000,000 loan from the RFC, drawing Senate Fulbright criticism for aiding creditors of Texmass.
