## Opinion text

Mr. Justice Dibrell
dissenting.
I regret that I am not able to agree.with a majority of the court in their disposition of this case, but on account of the fact that the court is on the eve of adjournment, I will not have time to express my views on the questions involved.

I will reduce to writing my views for this dissent and file later on.
[The contemplated opinion presenting Mr. Justice DibrelVs views was not filed by him.]
