...years ago 64-year-old James Forbes Whiteford, a U.S. consulting engineer, got the bad news after an operation in London: he was dying of cancer. Whiteford began to live from day to day. He refused a job with the Ministry of Supply, sold his property in Britain, returned to the U.S. to die. Later the same year, Whiteford underwent another operation at Manhattan's Memorial Hospital, was told there was no sign of cancer. He gained weight, felt fine, began writing a book about his postponed date with death...
Last week in London, 70-year-old Whiteford sued his British surgeon and physician for ?9,000 because he had not yet died...
Fortnight ago, they learned better. A loud second-class row developed between SEC and Co. Trustee Pollak. Co. is in reality just a set of books, hadn't had an employe for eight years until the Hopson crowd made Washington Lawyer Roger Whiteford its president during the system's last 100 days of freedom-and even he could not collect his salary from an empty till.

Last week President Whiteford resigned, unable to collect pay from his insolvent employer. Typical of Hopson corporate architecture is the fact that Whiteford turned out to be the first and only employe CO. had had in at least eight...
...since Hanes had candidly informed the SEC exactly who his backers were. The list: a member of the investment firm of Lazard Freres & Co., which has no direct interest in Associated; officials of the Chase National Bank, which has; Guaranty Trust Co.; Bankers Trust Co.; and CO. President Roger Whiteford, wrote Frank, has "been made president of that company at the instance of the sisters and a brother-in-law of Mr. Hopson." The SEC had decided (Commissioner Eicher again dissenting) that these facts did not constitute "statutory disqualification" of Mr. Hanes, but should be called to the attention...
