SHACKELFORD MILLER, Jr., Circuit Judge
(dissenting).
I am of the opinion that it was reversible error on the part of the District Judge to deny appellant’s motion to require the appellee to join as party-plaintiff either the United States or the Federal Bureau of Employees’ Compensation as the real parties in interest, either as assignee or partial subrogee of the claim.
