¶1Loyd C. Mosley, M. H. Jones, Clear-water, Fla., for appellant.

¶2Edward F. Boardman, U. S. Atty., Arnold D. Levine, Asst. U. S. Atty., Tampa, Fla., for appellee.

¶3Before TUTTLE, Chief Judge, and GROOMS and McRAE, District Judges.

¶4PER CURIAM:

¶5We have carefully reviewed the evidence to sustain the verdict of the jury as to this appellant and find it more than sufficient to authorize the jury to find a verdict of guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.

¶6We do not find prejudicial error in the criticized comment of the United States Attorney about appellant being “associated” in business with Mary Collins. The proof that an initial from this lady’s name was used to form the name R & M Mortgage Co. was sufficient to warrant an inference that she was “associated” with the business.

¶7The judgment is affirmed.
