The opinion

JOHN R. BROWN, Circuit Judge

(dissenting).

In the face of the very persuasive opinion of Judge Whitehurst, I am reluctant to differ. Nevertheless, I think the practice of including (a) only those males who have registered to vote and (b) only the females who have volunteered for jury service does not meet the requirements, 28 U.S.C.A. § 1861 , of a constitutionally empaneled Grand Jury. I therefore align myself with Judge Lieb’s opinion in United States v. Hoffa, S.D.Fla., 1961, 196 F.Supp. 25 , and respectfully dissent from the present opinion of this Court.
