ALFRED T. GOODWIN, Circuit Judge
(specially concurring):
I concur in the opinion, but the facts of this case, and those of United States for Use of Tanos v. St. Paul Mercury Ins. Co., 361 F.2d 838 (5th Cir.), cert. denied, 385 U.S. 971, 87 S.Ct. 510, 17 L. Ed.2d 435 (1966), illustrate the need for an amendment to clarify Fed.R.Civ.P. 4(c). The interrelation of Rules 4(c), 4(d)(7), and 4(e) causes confusion among experienced lawyers, and the results must be incomprehensible to clients. See Note, 42 Notre Dame Lawyer 284 (1966).
