HOOPER, District Judge
(concurring) .
I thoroughly concur in the disposition made of this case as shown in the above opinion. Until the District Court, however, makes more complete findings of fact, I can not agree with all of the inferences made in the above opinion as to intentional discrimination. I am advised by the Administrative Office that “of the 1088 prisoner cases reported during the first half of the fiscal year 1967, there were 515 that were based on alleged violations of civil rights,” and that “the growth in the number of these cases in the last few years has been phenomenal.” The situation calls for careful consideration upon the part of both prison officials and judges.
