Our examination of records and briefs satisfies us that the trial court's decision is supported by substantial evidence and is not induced by any erroneous view of the law. In addition to the cases relied on by the District Judge to support his opinion, the case of Alabama Power Company v. Davis, 431 U.S. 581 , 97 S.Ct. 2002 , 52 L.Ed.2d 595 (1977), supports the judgment of the District Court.

We affirm on the basis of the trial court's reported opinion.
* The Honorable Roy W. Harper, Senior United States District Judge for the Eastern District of Missouri, sitting by designation
