B. Purnell Eggleston, Roanoke, Va., Thomas F. Reddy, Jr., Keith E. Mullenger, Roy C. Hopgood, New York City, for appellee and cross-appellant.

Before HAYNSWORTH, Chief Judge, SOBELOFF and J. SPENCER BELL, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM.

1

It is, therefore,

3

Ordered that the said petitions be, and they are hereby, denied.
