Separate Opinion of Judge Dillard

SEPARATE OPINION OF JUDGE DILLARD

I agree with the decision and operative clauses of the Opinion. 1 am
prompted to add a separate opinion only because in some respects the
reasons which have led me to agree donot coincidewith those revealed in
the Opinion. As will appear, this separate opinion is concerned lesswith
an analysis of facts than with matters of emphasis and with certain
theoretical considerations bearing on one of the two principal questions
addressed to the Court.
