Owner of Continental Press Service in 1948-1950 by his own testimony and a federal court's description; a law student who said control of the business rested with his uncle, Thomas F. Kelly.

The role line is his own testimony, matched by the district court's description of him as doing business as Continental Press Service. Counsel's description of him at the hearing as "a complete figurehead and dummy" is counsel's characterization.
