Before Mr. Justice BURTON, retired, and DANAHER and BASTIAN, Circuit Judges.


DANAHER, Circuit Judge.

The Federal Trade Commission denied appellant's application for the establishment of a new generic name "polynosic" for a fiber produced by the appellant, and also refused to amend the Commission's definition of "rayon." Appellant thereupon sought relief in the District Court which granted the appellees' motion for summary judgment and dismissed the complaint. Appellant in No. 15894 seeks reversal of that order.1
