## Opinion text

BRATTON, Circuit Judge,
(dissenting).
My view is that the statute, 49 U.S.C.A. § 781 (a) (3), is valid. And my further view is that the automobile was used to facilitate the purchase of narcotics. But I think it was error to admit certain testimony given by an agent of the Bureau of Narcotics. Accordingly, I would reverse on that ground, but not on the ground that the automobile was not used to facilitate the purchase of narcotics.
