PER CURIAM.


Judge Bicks' reasoned and complete opinion, D.C.S.D.N.Y., 132 F. Supp. 364, demonstrates that there really is no basis for the plaintiff's claim of plagiarism and unfair competition. We are content to affirm upon that opinion.

The judgment below is affirmed, and the defendants are awarded the sum of $300 as counsel fees upon this appeal.
