Success Story .

The Senate last week heard some more fascinating details of how a St. Louis printing firm began to flourish with amazing prosperity after employing the services of a Kansas City lawyer named William M. Boyle (TIME, Aug. 6). When the American Lithofold Corp. hired Boyle in 1949, reported Delaware's Republican Senator John J. Williams, it had Government contracts of about $193,000. Two years later, the company's business with the Government was worth $3,257,983. Williams did not mention the fact that after hiring Boyle, the company also received a $565,000 RFC loan. Nor did he point out that Bill Boyle by that time had become chairman of the Democratic National Committee. But within the next two weeks Senate investigators plan to have a thorough look at the dealings of Lithofold with the Government, in the hope of finding out just what part was played by the Democrats' Bill Boyle.
