[DISSENT — Justice White,]
Justice White,
dissenting.
Because the decision of the Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit in this case conflicts with the decision of the Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit in Carpa, Inc. v. Ward Foods, Inc., 567 F. 2d 1316 (1978), I would grant the petition for certiorari.
