Such contentions have been considered and decided adversely to the Government in Stamler v. Willis , 371 F.2d 413 (7th Cir. 1966), and in the unanimous November 8, 1967, denial of the Government's motion to dismiss and need not be reconsidered here. On remand the parties should develop the necessary factual predicate and direct their legal arguments to the substantive questions . . . raised in the original complaints."”
