McCORD, Circuit Judge
(dissenting).
I think the majority opinion draws too fine a distinction as to what is an allegation of fact and what is a conclusion of the pleader. I am of opinion that under the liberal rules now obtaining in Federal Courts the allegations of the complaint presented questions to be determined on the merits. The parties should have been allowed to fully develop the facts, and the court erred in dismissing the cause on the pleadings. Cf. DeLoach v. Crowley’s, Inc., 5 Cir., 128 F.2d 378.
I respectfully dissent.
