Argued October 31, 1961.

Decided November 17, 1961.

Marvin I. Barish, Philadelphia, Pa. (Abraham E. Freedman, Freedman, Landy Lorry, Philadelphia, Pa., on the brief), for appellant.

Harrison G. Kildare, Philadelphia, Pa. (Rawle Henderson, Philadelphia, Pa., Thomas F. Mount, Philadelphia, Pa., on the brief), for appellee.

Before McLAUGHLIN, STALEY and FORMAN, Circuit Judges.


Despite the able and thorough argument on behalf of appellant we are convinced that the prospective interpretation of the Pennsylvania Non-Resident Vessel Owner Act, 12 P.S. § 336, by the district court is sound.

The judgment of the district court will be affirmed.
