Opinion

PER CURIAM.

This appeal is from the Federal Communications Commission’s decision of January 1956, granting intervenor’s application for a broadcasting license in Hartselle, Alabama, and denying appellant’s mutually exclusive application to increase the power of Station WERD, in Atlanta, Georgia, from 1,000 to 10,000 watts. We think the record supports the Commission’s action.

Affirmed.
