Before CHAMBERS and HUFSTEDLER, Circuit Judges; and TAYLOR,* District Judge.
PER CURIAM:
The judgment of conviction in this case of conspiracy to smuggle certain narcotics into the United States is affirmed.
We find only a little, if any, direct evidence of Padilla's participation in a conspiracy but there was sufficient circumstantial evidence for the case to go to the jury.
Other assignments we find insubstantial.
