Plaintiff, National Anti-Vivisection Society, filed a complaint requesting this court to mandamus the Federal Communications Commission either to conduct a hearing and revoke the permit of the Weigel Broadcasting Company, or issue a cease and desist order against certain further television broadcasts by that station.
