PER CURIAM.


The Federal Trade Commission's order directs the petitioners to cease and desist from "1. Using fictitiously any trade or corporate name in collecting past-due accounts; 2. Implying that such fictitious collection agency is an independent organization engaged in the business of collecting past-due accounts." We find no error.
