Opinion — Per Curiam

PER CURIAM.

For the reasons stated by the District Judge, Dell Publishing Co. v. Summerfield, D.D.C., 198 F.Supp. 843 , the Postmaster’s action in revoking appellant’s second-class mail permit was not “clearly wrong.” Bates & Guild Co. v. Payne, 194 U.S. 106, 109 , 24 S.Ct. 595 , 48 L.Ed. 894 ; United States v. Shimer, 367 U.S. 374, 381-382 , 81 S.Ct. 1554 , 6 L.Ed.2d 908 . See also, United States v. Drum, 368 U.S. 370, 376 , 82 S.Ct. 408 , 7 L.Ed.2d 360 . Based on a reasonable interpretation of the controlling statute, his action was neither “arbitrary, capricious,” nor “an abuse of discretion.” Administrativi Procedure Act, § 10(e), 5 U.S.C. § 1003 (e). The judgment of the District Court, sustaining the Postmaster’s decision, is accordingly Affirmed.
