PER CURIAM.
One part of the language on which the plaintiff relied in this action for libel was incapable of a defamatory meaning. The other part was obviously true. Regardless of the defense of privilege, therefore, the District Court was right in directing a verdict for the defendant. Meyerson v. Hurlbut, 68 App.D.C. 360, 362, 98 F.2d 232, 118 A.L.R. 313; Sullivan v. Meyer, 67 App. D.C. 228, 91 F.2d 301; cf. Sullivan v. Meyer, 78 U.S.App.D.C. 367, 141 F.2d 21.
