Annotate this Case
US Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit - 345 F.2d 534 (5th Cir. 1965) June 1, 1965

Appeal from the United States District Court for the Middle District of Alabama; Frank M. Johnson, Jr., Judge.

Before TUTTLE, Chief Judge, EDGERTON,*  and SMITH,**  Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM.


The only questions open for determination on this appeal are whether on the record as a whole there is substantial evidence to support the factual determinations made by the Secretary, and whether his ultimate decision has a reasonable basis in the law. We conclude that in both respects the trial court correctly found in favor of the Secretary.

The judgment is affirmed.
