The opinion

ROBB, Circuit Judge

(concurring):

I concur in the result.

In my judgment the only question here is whether the petitioners made a case before the Commission. They did' not make a case and that should be the end of the matter. It is not for us to give the Commission an advisory opinion on methods for dealing with allegations of discrimination. Furthermore, I am not willing to express any view as to the circumstances that may require a hearing in some future case. We can consider that question if and when it, is presented on a proper record.
