...name to Patton, although he was known around town as "George the Greek." Despite his new-found affluence, nobody bothered to invite George when the Kefauver crime investigating committee visited Miami last spring. But when the Dade County grand jury met, George was on hand. Nobody really expected a smart boy like George to talk; it was a matter of routine. But for some reason, George entered the grand jury room and began to sing. Before he was through, he had given 49 pages of fact-jammed testimony, which was sizzling enough to help indict nine Miami police officers...

Jubilant Stanley Dollar was more than willing to take over. If a new Government appeal does not prevent return of the stock, he hopes to call a meeting within a week or so and elect a new president. The chances are good that Dollar, even though he is 70, will be the new boss, and that his famed white dollar sign will go back on the stacks. Said...
