Before DUNIWAY, CARTER and HUFSTEDLER, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:
Appellant and another rode in a car from Mexico into the United States, at high speed, crossing the border at a point where there was no port of entry. They were seen by a border patrol, chased and ultimately caught several miles inside the border. A search revealed marijuana and amphetamine and seconal capsules in large quantities. On appeal, appellant attacks the search as not based on probable cause. This was a border search, and probable cause was not necessary. Witt v. United States, 9 Cir., 1961, 287 F.2d 389, 391.
Affirmed.
The mandate shall issue forthwith.
