United States District Court E. D. Pennsylvania.

September 12, 1960.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Richter, Lord & Levy, Philadelphia, Pa., for plaintiff.

White & Williams, Philadelphia, Pa., by Jan E. DuBois, Philadelphia, Pa., for defendants and third-party plaintiffs.

Albert C. Gekoski, Philadelphia, Pa., for third-party defendant.
