Whenever the Commission has reason to believe--

be unlawful; and
(b) that it would be to the public interest to enjoin the doing
of such act until complaint is issued by the Commission under the
Federal Trade Commission Act [15 U.S.C. 41 et seq.] and such
complaint is dismissed by the Commission or set aside by the court
on review or until an order to cease and desist made thereon by the
Commission has become final within the meaning of the Federal Trade
Commission Act,
the Commission may bring suit in the district court of the United States
or in the United States court of any Territory, for the district or
Territory in which such person resides or transacts business, to enjoin
the doing of such act and upon proper showing a temporary injunction or
restraining order shall be granted without bond.
