RFC Probe 10 Hear
Snyder Views on
Government Loans
BY the Assoelofsd Prsss

Senators trying to decide whether
the Reconstruction Finance Corp.
should continue in business with its
present powers today called on Sec
retary Of the Treasury Snyder for
his views on Government lending.
A Senate Banking subcommittee
which heard yesterday that the RFC
made one $15,500, 900 loan author
ization this year which it does not
regard as sound" also asked Chair
man Mariner S. Eccles of the Fed
eral Reserve Board to be on hand
for the session.
The life Of the RFC runs out next
June 80, unless extended by Con-
gress. An extension is considered
likely, but the banking group is con-
sidering additional restrictions on
loans which the huge agency may be
permitted to make now that the war
emergency is ended.
John D. Goodloe, chairman, testi-
ned yesterday that a money authori-
zation had been made to q Chicago
manufacturer OF prefabricated
houses which "from q credit stand
point was not what you could call a
sound loan"
He said the loan was made under
the RIGS emergency powers to the
Lustron Corp. Of Chicago. He as
serted II don't know whether the
loan Is going to pay out, but the
Government was justified in making
it."
The corporation, he said, had been
scheduled to produce 1850 prefabri-
Gated houses to sell at $1,000 to
81, 900.
He said he did not believe the
houses are in production yet, but,
my impression is that they hope to
be in production in the spring"
Questioned on Pressure"
Senator Capehart, Republican, Of
Indiana, asked: Where did pressure
come from to make you grant this
loan?"
Mr.. Goodloe objected to the word
pressure" and at this point Chair
man Buck asked him about letter
from Presidential Assistant John
Steelman, which Senator Buck said
urged the RFC to make the loan.
