Before HAYNSWORTH, Chief Judge, CRAVEN, Circuit Judge, and SIMONS, District Judge.


In this appeal from a judgment entered upon the verdict of a jury, we find an adequate basis for the jury's factual determination. It was not bound to accept uncritically the plaintiff's testimonial claim.

We find no merit in the other contentions of trial error.

Affirmed.
