On its homegrounds the tor

45O, 900 new businesses will be launched
in 1853. If you're tempted to try your
own luck, you'd better take this test!

A Marine veteran of Washington
borrowed Sc, 600 under the GI loan
provisions and with his brother
bought a grocery store which was
on the brink of bankruptcy. At
first the breaks went against him.
He accumulated $23, 900 in debts,
lost his credit rating and at one
point had to borrow 500 from
friends to buy food with which to
stock the store and open the follow
ing morning. He refused to quit,
even after his brother pulled out.
Today he's making his store pay.

The United States Court of
Appeals for the District of CO.
lumbia today refused to interfere
with the scheduled calling of
seven New Workers to testify in
New York Monday before the
Mccarthy committee investigat-
ing alleged espionage at Fort
Monmouth, N. j.
Counsel for the seven had
argued that the Mccarthy group,
empowered to investigate eff
cheney and economy in Govern
ment operations, had no legal
authority to ask questions bear
ing on espionage.
The attorneys asked the ap-
pellate court to suspend sub
poenas issued for the New
Yorkers. Some of the witnesses
are slated to appear Monday.
others on Tuesday and Wednes-
day.
Attorneys Victor Radinowitz
and Joseph Forer. while ad-
mitting that they did not def
nitely know what questions
were to be asked their clients,
said they were morally cer-
tain" that they would bear on
subversion or espionage.
But the Appellate Court held:
when a committee of Congress
has issued subpoenas to appear
at hearings without defining the
questions to be asked, the judi
cial branch should not enjoin
in advance the hearings or
suspend the subpoenas.
The court declared that wit
nesses after hearing the ques-
tions could take appropriate
legal action afterward if it were
felt that the questions were il
legal.
Those who have been sub
poenaed are Leonard Minis,

ther prosecuting these charges"
II am pleased that the parish
attorney, after investigating the
police charges against me, found
no evidence to prosecute" Mr..
Smith said. However, I do not
agree that either technical
grounds for filing the charges
may have existed, nor do I be-
lieve a misunderstanding existed.
THE officers knew me as a re-
porter. as I knew them as police
officers, or else I am sure the

made.
