Fromme, J.,
concurring: I agree with the rationale and the decision of the court except in one small particular. My views as to the applicability of K. S. A. 44-718 expressed in Goodyear remain unchanged and I cannot now approve the result reached in Goodyear. The majority opinion as expressed in Goodyear should be disapproved by this court for I see no distinction between a negotiated “vacation shutdown agreement” as in Goodyear and a negotiated “permanent retirement agreement” as in the present case so far as the prohibition of K. S. A. 44-718 is concerned. I am authorized to say that Mr. Justice Kaul joins in the foregoing concurrence.
