The opinion

RICHARDSON, Chief Judge

(concurring).

I concur upon the ground that one specific object stated in appellant’s charter, the securing of an effective enforcement of the Act of May 29, 1916, D.C.Code 1940, § 22 — 1411 et seq. to prevent fraudulent advertising, does not come within any recognized definition of the term “educational” or “scientific”. Although highly beneficial to the public I cannot regard assistance in the enforcement of a penal statute as “charitable”.
