McFaddin, J., (concurring). I concur in the result reached by this court, but employ a different process of reasoning from that reflected in the majority opinion. Appellee filed suit against the Grlick Cleaning & Laundry Co. and D. D. Panich. The Click Cleaning & Laundry Co. was not entitled to claim the benefits of the Soldiers ’ and Sailors ’ Civil Belief Act because that company was not protected by said Act. United States Code Annotated, Title 50, App. § 524 says: ‘ ‘Where the person hi military service is a co-defendant with others, the plaintiff may nevertheless, by leave of court, proceed against the others. ’ ’ So I make the point that at all events the Soldiers’ and Sailors’ Civil Belief Act gave the trial court the absolute right to allow the suit to proceed against the Grlick Cleaning & Laundry Company independently of any interpretation of United States Code Annotated, Title 50, App. § 521, which is the section discussed in the majority opinion. In my opinion, the rights of Panich are protected, because after the end of his military service he may proceed as provided by United States Code Annotated, Title 50, App. § 520 (4).
