¶1Edward R. Kirkland, Orlando, Fla., for appellants.

¶2Edward F. Boardman, U. S. Atty., Robert B. McGowan, Asst. U. S. Atty., Tampa, Fla., for appellee.

¶3Before JONES and BELL, Circuit Judges, and JOHNSON, District Judge.

¶4PER CURIAM:

¶5We have carefully considered the asserted errors of omission and commission with respect to the charge given on the trial of appellants for conspiracy to violate the Internal Revenue laws relating to distilled spirits. Each assertion is without merit.

¶6It is also claimed that the District Court erred in admitting in evidence tape recordings made of a telephone conversation between a government witness and one of appellants by the witness. Appellants contend that the recordings were in violation of the federal wire tap statute, 47 U.S.C.A. § 605 and hence were inadmissible. This contention likewise is without merit. Rathbun v. United States, 1957, 355 U.S. 107, 78 S.Ct. 161, 2 L.Ed.2d 134; Hall v. United States, 5 Cir., 1962, 308 F.2d 266; and Carnes v. United States, 5 Cir., 1961, 295 F.2d 598.

¶7Affirmed.
