In Error to the District Court of the United States for the Eastern District of Virginia, at Alexandria; D. Lawrence Groner, Judge.

Levi H. David, of Washington, D.C., and William F. Kimber, of New York City (Caton & Caton, of Alexandria, Va., on brief), for plaintiffs in error.

Bynum E. Hinton, of Washington, D.C., for defendants in error.

Before WOODS and ROSE, Circuit Judges, and WEBB, District Judge.

PER CURIAM.

The defendants in error insist that there is nothing before this court because exceptions were not duly taken. The point is serious, but we prefer to rest the affirmance of the judgment on the merits. We think the District Court (298 F. 320) was clearly right on all the points decided, and that nothing of substance can be added to the reasoning of the court.

Affirmed.
