PER CURIAM.

On August 7, 1942, the Securities and Exchange Commission directed proceedings against Guaranty Underwriters, Inc., a Florida corporation, “On the Question of Revocation and Suspension of Registration' Pursuant to Section 15(b) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934.” 15 U.S.C.A. § 78o.
