Alexander ROBERTSON, Appellant, v. Ruth ROBERTSON, Appellee.
    No. 76-916.
    District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fourth District.
    June 17, 1977.
    James A. Grady, Pompano Beach, for appellant.
    Nathan Ross, Fort Lauderdale, for appel-lee.
   PER CURIAM.

Affirmed.

MAGER, C. J., and LETTS, J., concur.

ANSTEAD, J., concurs specially.

ANSTEAD, Judge,

concurring specially:

In this marriage of short duration, the wife was awarded an interest in certain bank accounts of the husband on the basis that the husband had previously made a gift to her of 50% of these accounts by adding her name thereto for a short period of time. I believe that the decision in Ball v. Ball, 335 So.2d 5 (Fla.1976), if applicable, would have mandated a different result. However, the Supreme Court specifically ruled that Ball was not to have retroactive application and was limited to real property. Accordingly, I concur in affirming the judgment of the trial court.
