¶8(dissenting).

¶9I dissent. I would reverse the decision of the District Court for the reasons stated by Judge Sobeloff in United States v. Miller, 406 F.2d 1100 (4th Cir. 1969), a case holding that the Supreme Court’s decision in Haynes v. United States, 390 U.S. 85, 88 S.Ct. 722, 19 L.Ed.2d 923 (1968), should be given retrospective effect. See also United States v. Lucia, 416 F.2d 920 (5th Cir. 1969), holding, in an opinion by Judge Wisdom, that retrospective effect should be given the related decisions of Marchetti v. United States, 390 U.S. 39, 88 S.Ct. 697, 19 L.Ed.2d 889 (1968), and Grosso v. United States, 390 U.S. 62, 88 S.Ct. 716, 19 L.Ed.2d 906 (1968).
