Director aa Sept. 21, 1943 s] at the R.F.C. in Washington to determine who obtained this data. The Washington Meld Division is requested to conduct such inguiry bearing in mind that it 1s hoped to establish that the informa- tion in ELSHOFF's possession was obtained by the United Mine Workers ' ef America for him. There is no information at present in the possession of the Springfield office which discloses exactly under what case or file this loan would be handled in the R.F.C. The only paper that ib, SOLOMAN had in his possession was a letter to a Mr. CROSLAND of the Reconstruction Finance Corporation, Chicago, Illinois, dated November 28, 1936 from himself, as president of the Panther Creek Mines, Inc., requesting form L-109. It should be noted perhaps that a subsequent loan was ob- tained from the R.¥.C. in 1939 and 1940 which was listed under loan #4049. Collateral in the form of accounts receivable was submitted by the Panther Creek Mines as security for these loans. None of the instant data in ELSHOFF's possession during June of 1942 was obtained from this file. In view of the urgency of this investigation the Washington Field Office is requested to conduct the necessary investigation and advise the Springfield Office by October 1, 1943.
