OPINION OF THE COURT

Before McLAUGHLIN, SMITH and FREEDMAN, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM.

1

We are convinced from the facts that the finding of the District Court that Western Freight Association and Bernard Zandier acquired the status of insureds under the terms of the comprehensive liability policy issued by appellant to Lightning Express, Inc. and in effect November 16, 1961, is not clearly erroneous.

2

The judgments of the District Court will be affirmed.
