Honorable Talbot Smith, United States District Judge, Eastern District of Michigan, sitting by designation.

Opinion:
PER CURIAM:
These appeals are from the judgment of the District Court in Admiralty ease, In re Pacific Far East Line, Inc., N.D., Cal., 1970, 314 F.Supp. 1339. The sole issue on appeal is whether the court erred in holding that no negligence attributable to the United States was a proximate cause of the collision. The District Court's findings on this issue are not clearly erroneous, nor are its legal conclusions in error.
Affirmed.
