...candidate for Senator, sober-sided U. S. District Attorney Lawrence Sabyllia Camp of Atlanta, received two last-minute encouragements: the Senate Campaign Expenditures Committee declared in Washington that there had been nothing improper about the discharge "for political activities" (against Mr. Camp) of Edgar Dunlap as Atlanta counsel for RFC (TIME, Aug. 29); and the fourth man in the race, Lawyer William G. McRae of Atlanta, withdrew, urging his supporters to vote for Candidate Camp. But these pats-on-the-head were to be Mr. Camp's and Franklin Roosevelt's last happy memories of this Georgia primary...
...past fiscal year of only $100,427, K. P. L. & G. is still a puny bubble in the ballooning natural gas business. But it asks FPC for permission to construct a $21,470,000 line (financed by a $20,000,000 RFC loan) from the Hugoton fields in southwestern Kansas through unexploited territory across Nebraska and the Dakotas into northwestern Minnesota. If permission is granted,* the company expects to sell 13,623,080,000 cu. ft. for $3,024,447 in the first year of operation, 20,165,390,000 for $5,469,847 in the fifth. The line would...
...Solicitor General Jackson, now busy getting ready for the Monopoly Investigation, for a time was Janizary No. 3, but none of these can match in energy, facility or ubiquitousness the front man in the firm of Corcoran & Cohen. With nothing to tie him down except a general job on RFC's legal staff, he can come & go on a thousand purge missions without being unduly publicized. President Roosevelt likes him, listens to him, laughs with him, trusts him. delegates him. This makes "Tommy the Cork" (as the President calls him*) sound like a shrewd, insinuating schemer-which...
...Harvard in 1924, Ben Cohen walked into his old room. The current occupant was out. His name was Thomas Gardiner Corcoran. They did not meet until nine years later, when T. G. Corcoran had been for a year a cog in the legal staff of President Hoover's RFC. Ben Cohen had signed on to help James Landis draft the Securities Exchange Act. Thrown together on this job, Corcoran & Cohen have been inseparable since...
...over $31,000,000 in interest annually. B. & O. lost $720,695 last year, $11,741,308 in the first half of this year. In January. B. & O.'s shrewd old President Daniel Willard got an $8,233,000 loan through his good friend, RFC Chairman Jesse Jones. In June, to meet an interest payment, B. & O. sold its nearly forgotten Chesapeake & Ohio Canal, unused for shipping since 1923, to PWA for $2,000,000. Last week, resourceful B. & O. resorted to another expedient. It filed with ICC a plan to 1) postpone nearby bond maturities, 2) reduce interest...
