On Rehearing by Court in Banc.
PER CURIAM.
After a majority of the original panel which heard this case had held that the district court was without jurisdiction a petition was filed seeking to have this issue reheard in banc. A majority of the active judges voted to grant the petition. The rehearing, limited solely to the question whether the district court properly took jurisdiction *886of the ease, was had on oral arguments and briefs on January 16, 1963, with all the active judges participating except Chief Judge Lumbard, who was disqualified because of a previous connection with the case during his service as United States Attorney. The decision of the district court below upholding its jurisdiction, D.C.S.D.N.Y., 175 F.Supp. 230, 248, 197 F.Supp. 756, 758, is affirmed as to that issue by an equally divided court, Judges Clark, Friendly, Smith, and Marshall voting for such affirmance, and Judges Waterman, Moore, Kaufman, and Hays voting to reverse and remand for transfer of the action to the United States Court of Claims. See Drake Bakeries Incorporated v. Local 50, American Bakery & Confectionery Workers International, AFL-CIO, 2 Cir., 294 F.2d 399, 400, affirmed 370 U.S. 254, 82 S.Ct. 1346, 8 L.Ed.2d 474.
The appeal is retained on our appellate docket for further proceedings by the original panel in order that it may now consider the issues on appeal not previously reached.
