Before PHILLIPS, Chief Judge, and McCREE and KENT, Circuit Judges.

We do not reach these issues because we conclude that the District Court abused its discretion in not vacating the injunction upon the representation by the Secretary of the Army that the National welfare will be materially affected by the injunction. On the basis of the affidavits on file we find the...
