Dissenting Opinion

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.
