Opinion:
PER CURIAM.
This appeal is controlled by the principle, here fully sustained by the facts, that where there is probable cause for the arrest, the search incident thereto is, and was in this instance valid. Cf. Moore v. United States, 5 Cir., 1961, 296 F.2d 519; United States v. Potts, 6 Cir., 1961, 297 F.2d 68.
This being so, the judgment of conviction is
Affirmed.
