...been hired away from the Farm Board to serve Jesse Jones in 1932. When, working with RFC's staff of 75 lawyers as many as 18 hours a day during the bank holiday, he managed to keep abreast of the tremendous legal complexities involved in demands for RFC help from thousands of banks in 48 States, Attorney General Cummings was impressed.
