M. M. Roberts, Joe A. Thompson, Hattiesburg, Miss., for appellant.

Before CAMERON and WISDOM, Circuit Judges, and THOMAS, District Judge.

PER CURIAM.

Upon considering appellant's petition for rehearing and its amendment to or supplemental petition for rehearing and the briefs submitted with them, it is ordered and decreed that said petitions for rehearing, and each of them, are hereby

Denied.

THOMAS, District Judge (dissenting).

I am of the opinion there are absent indispensable parties. This would deprive this court of jurisdiction and leave the matter up to the Supreme Court of Mississippi, which I believe is the proper tribunal to decide this Mississippi question. Therefore I respectfully dissent.
