Me. Chief Justice Buegee,
concurring.
I concur in all ..but Part I of the Court’s opinion but, like Me. Justice Douglas, I have grave reservations *286as to the correctness of Toolson v. New York Yankees, Inc., 346 U. S. 356 (1953); as he notes in his dissent, he joined that holding but has “lived to regret it.” The error, if such it be, is one on which the affairs of a great many people have rested for a long time. Courts are not the forum in which this tangled web ought to be unsnarled: I agree with Mb. Justice Douglas that congressional inaction is not a solid base, but the least undesirable course now is to let the matter rest with Congress; it is time the Congress acted to solve this problem.
