The opinion

SIMONS, Circuit Judge

(concurring).

It would undoubtedly greatly ease the burden upon the court if the Board in its findings of fact would follow the practice of other administrative tribunals whatever, if any, may be its obligation in this respect. Cf. National Labor Relations Board v. Remington Rand, Inc., 2 Cir., 94 F.2d 862, 865 . Without expressing any view upon the sociological discussion in the opinion, I concur in the result, in so far as it is based upon lack of substantial evidence to sustain the findings and the order.
