3In Globus v. Law Research Service, Inc., 418 F.2d 1276 (1969), we affirmed a judgment entered against Blair, LRS, and Hoppenfeld for their joint and several liability pursuant to 17(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, 15 U.S.C. 77q(a) and 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, 15 U.S.C. 78j(b) for failing to disclose material facts in connection with a public offering of the stock of LRS. 287 F.Supp. 188 (D.C.1968). Blair subsequently satisfied the judgment and by a motion in the district court sought to compel LRS and Hoppenfeld to pay their pro-rata shares of the judgment.
4Judge Frankel awarded contribution. We agree with both his result and reasoning and affirm the judgment on the basis of his opinion, reported at 318 F.Supp. 955 (1970).
