“Hays, Circuit Judge
(dissenting):
“I would grant the government’s application for rehearing.”
This opinion of the panel which substantially limits the precedential effect of the opinion of April 16, 1970, is being filed simultaneously herewith. Upon a recanvass of the Judges who previously voted upon the in banc issue, four Judges, upon the basis of the foregoing opinion, vote to deny an in banc hearing and three Judges vote to grant the petition. The votes no longer include that of Judge Waterman who has assumed senior status in the interval.
Accordingly, upon the filing of the panel opinion as hereinabove set forth, it is ordered by a majority of the active judges eligible to vote thereon that the in banc order of November 12, 1970, be vacated and that the appellee’s petition for a rehearing in banc be denied.
