Named general manager of Continental Press in 1940, according to 1950 testimony; convicted in the Consensus Publishing tax case in 1940, a conviction reversed on appeal; sold his interest in Continental to Edward J. McBride in 1947.

The role line is taken from Thomas F. Kelly's testimony. Ownership dates come from the committee staff's Annex A to Exhibit 40, several of whose years are garbled in the OCR; only the legible entries are used.
