Fund Loses
Fight for Name
Barred by SEC

The United States Court OF
Appeals here today said the
Securities and Exchange Com
mission was right in declaring
an investment company's name
deceptive or misleading" for
the third time In q row.
The court upheld the SEC
action on appeal of the Civil
and Military Investors Mutual
Fund, Inc.
The investment firm, which
has not yet started in business.
launched its name picking ef-
fort more than six years ago
calling itself Government Per-
sonnel Mutual Fund, Inc. How
ever, in 1866. this name was
changed to the Private Invest
ment Fund for Governmental
Personnel, Inc, after the SEC
ordered an inquiry into the
propriety Of the first name
picked.
However, name No. 2 was de-
clared by the SEC to be Ce-
ceptive and misleading.
So, the company decided on
calling itself Civil and Mill
tary Investors Mutual Fund,
Inc, saying 1t would provide
special investment advantages
for Government personnel. The
firm claimed that Government
employees who invest In mutual
shares have a particular in
terest in accumulation plans
of the type proposed by it.
However, the SEC last April
denied this request for q change
Of name, saying that name No
3 was also deceptive and mis-
leading. The appellate court
agreed today.
The opinion was written by
Circuit Judges Bazelon, FahS
and Washington. The SEC wa'
represented before the court by
its assistant general counsel

The Speed-or lack of tin

None is quicker to admit this

Scoring q campaign convey

lous strides in automation were
being made in aviation safety
and that the problems Of air
traffic control were rapidly
being solved" the Bulletin says
the public may be satisfied, but
"it hasn't helped the controller.
THE only significant change
that the controller has noted
has been an increase in the
density and complexity Of air
traffic - an increase in his
responsibility - and q broader
exposure to the consequences
Of error: not errors Of negli-
gence. but errors induced by
the environment in which he
works."

Drawing on his background
in engineering-he worked four
years with Reynolds Metals Co
before Joining Atlantic Re-

preached the laundry idea with
precision.
He talked to apartment de-
velopers, took his own market
survey, and studied other coin
facilities.
Then he drew a chart show
ing where 2,322 families lived
within a half-mile radius of
his proposed site. He drew a
circle on his map for another
1,045 families within a one
mile radius. Thirteen apart
ment developments were polled
to find how many living units
each had. He even figured each
family would average 18 pounds
Of wash (dry) per week.
The result was q presentation
to the American Security &,
Trust Co., where he applied for

Recently q secretary at the

dered into an Arlington COIN
operated laundry and stumbled
upon her boss.
Assuming ne was doing his
family's laundry chores, like
many a husband. she nodded
and thought no more about it.
This week she found out the
true story. He owns the laun-
dry plus two others, and has
been running them as a profit
able sideline for two years.
The neophyte operator is 40
year-old Morris Sandel, jr., a
chemical engineer who likes to
think Of his string Of quietly
churning laundry machines as
an investment rather than a
second job.
Postwar Industry
Mr.. Sandel was chosen for
this article because, although
he's above average in his busi-
ness methods and training, ne
represents a postwar industry
Today there are somewhere
between $4,000 and 10000 coin
operated laundries in the United
States. Two years ago they
totalled about $4,000, according
to Laundermatic Age. a trade

laundries have gone along with
the idea, on the join -'em-if-
you-can't-beat-' -'em theory. A
number Of private individuals
have taken the plunge, too
Many more are interested.
Mr.. Sandel is q success story
but he warns that there are
pitfalls.

companies listed by Dun &

In all areas except New Eng
land-which shows an improve
ment-the increase in failures
Is unmistakable. In the South
Atlantic States, 81 per cent
more firms failed in 1860 than
in 1853. In the East, South
Central and Mountain States,
the rise was "a per cent, and in
other regions it ranged from
IL to 18 per cent.
Bankruptcies are now rang
ing across the board in size of

business. While there were few
failures among 500, ,000-and-up
firms a few years back, recently
the percentage of failure
among these and the 81 mil
lion and over firms has in
creased sharply. In the past
several months the worst bank
suptcy has been chalked up In
the construction industry and
among automobile dealers, auto
parts stores, drug stores.
Why are so many failing
now? The apparent causes may
be inadequate sales or competi-
tive weakness or poor location
or heavy operating expenses or
unwise expansion or underfi-
nancing or abrupt cancellation
of a crucial contract. ETC., etc..
