Before Bazelon, Chief Judge, and Burger and Wright, Circuit Judges.

Opinion:
PER CURIAM:
The issue urged by appellants has already been litigated unsuccessfully in related suits before the Courts of Appeals for the Second, Seventh, Eighth, and Tenth Circuits. Petitions for certiorari were denied three times by the Supreme Court. The matter is under submission in the Fifth and Ninth Circuits. The Third Circuit has denied leave to take an interlocutory appeal. Under the circumstances, we wonder whether the issue can really be said to be still open for adjudication. If it is, we would adopt the reasons stated by Chief Judge Lumbard for the Second Circuit, en banc, and affirm, the order of the District Court.
Affirmed.
