QUIZ of RFC Loon Aide Opens Grand
Jury's Probe Into Testimony. Poee A-3
hearings since February 81 on
whether the RFC yielded to out
side influence ended it's "agenda
of cases" late yesterday. 1t ex-
poets to meet once more, prob
ably Friday, to hear one of the
RFC directors, C. Edward Rowe.
But two subcommittee members,
Chairman Fulbright, Democrat, of
Arkansas and Senator Capehart,
Republican, of Indiana, may take
the Senate floor before then in
debate on what ought to be
done from now on.
Wants Non-Political Study.
Amplifying his earlier sugges-
ton for an investigation of the
moral and ethical level" in gov
ernment, Senator Fulbright said
today the study should be made
by a commission removed as far
as possible from politics"
Such a group, in his opinion,
might include two Senators and
two Representatives, but also
should have at least four private
citizens. 1t should be headed "by
some man of the type of former
Supreme Court Justice Owen J.
Roberts. Milton Eisenhower, for
mer Secretary of War Robert Pat
terson or President James Conant
of Harvard" he said.
Such a commission could look
into Government agencies in gen.
eral, including RFC, and perhaps
think out the problem of a code
of ethics for official conduct" he
said. And, of course, it could
look as well into any activities of
members of Congress that might
be unethical. That sort of job
shouldn't be done by a congress
sional committee. if only because
it might be embarrassing. I don't
mean there would necessarily be
a cover-up, but it wouldn't be a
good thing for a Senate commit
tee to censor Senators"
Authority Expires April 30.
Senator Capehart, however, plans
to ask the Senate to appropriate
more money and extend the life
of the present subcommittee to
follow up the numerous disclosures
more or less related to RFC. The
subcommittee's authority is due
to expire April 80.
A hearing from 10 am. to al
most 7 pm. yesterday brought
fresh revelations and fireworks.
While they all did not directly
touch on that agency, they con-
cerned activities of former Rep
resentative Joseph E. Casey of
Massachusetts,, Joseph H. Rosen-
baum, a Washington lawyer, and
others interested in RFC loan
applications.
Charges of 'black market" op-
erationS and 'payoffs" climaxed
the late afternoon testimony about
sale of steel by a company that
had obtained big RFC loans.
Mr.. Rosenbaum admitted that
the Atlantic Basin Iron Co., a
firm in which he and E. Merl
Young held options, made a profit
of about 100000 last fall by buying
$500 tons of steel from the Gen.
tral Iron & Steel Co. of Harris
burg. Pa. and selling it to Price
Iron & Steel Co.. a Chicago ware
housing concern.
Mr.. Rosenbaum and Mr.. Casey,
the subcommittee brought out,
were active in negotiations for
$6.3 million in loans approved by
RFC for Central Iron & Steel in
1949.
Mr.. Young, whose wife report
edly still is a White House stenog-
rapher, has been a key figure at
the hearings, particularly in
testimony about mink coat paid
for by Mr.. RoSenbaum. Previous
witnesses also testified Mr.. Young
got a 100000 loan from the At
lantic Basin Iron Co.
