Profit Seen in Steel Deal Tied to RFC Probe
Washington attorney Joseph Rosenbaum disclosed that a firm he and E Merl Young held an option on made a quick 75 000 to 80 000 profit on a steel transaction last fall. Senator Capchart called it a payoff and said someone got 75 000 for doing nothing as steel likely moved to the black market at high prices. The record left unclear whether the option was exercised or profits shared. The Senate banking subcommittee investigating RFC lending policies heard Rosenbaum describe the deal amid questions of outside influence. Former Rep. Casey testified of a tax free profit of 250 000 on a 20 000 investment in a plan to buy ships from the U S Mail RFC probe.
