ORDER. In this libel action against defendant-appellant, who conducted a daily newspaper in Nashville, Tennessee, the District Judge found two of the alleged libelous publications to be libelous per se and awarded damages to the plaintiff-appellee.

Under the facts and applicable law we conclude that a fair and just decision was made by the District Judge in his clearly expressed opinion reported at D.C., 201 F.Supp. 47 (1962). Therefore, in accord therewith, IT IS ORDERED that the judgment be affirmed.
