CLARK, Circuit Judge,
with whom WATERMAN, MOORE, and SMITH, Judges, join (dissenting).
As in the companion case of Foti v. Immigration and Naturalization Service, 2 Cir., 308 F.2d 779, the issue of our jurisdiction was not raised by the parties, but is entirely court-created. The original panel hearing this case, consisting of Judges Waterman and Moore and the writer, concurred in an opinion for affirmance on the merits when we were met with an order for proceedings in banc, resulting in the opinion herewith *797from which we dissent. For reasons stated at some length in the Foti case we are clear that we have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1105a(a) and that we should consider the petition for review on the merits, and so adjudicate.
