The opinion
Millard, J.
(dissenting) — As I deem the title of the act sufficient, and as the opinion in this case received by me today (February 25,1941) must be immediately, and is, released, as its filing must be expedited [I have not the time for a lengthy disagreeing opinion], I merely dissent.
