PER CURIAM:

The judgments of conviction are affirmed.

We find no illegally 'seized' evidence as a matter of law, no illegal search under the circumstances, and find adequate evidence to support the verdict.

On the first contention the court accepts United States v. Polansky, 418 F.2d 444 (2d Cir., 1969); United States v. Tropiano, 418 F.2d 1069 (2d Cir., 1969); Doty v. United States, 416 F.2d 887 (10th Cir., 1968); and Dryden v. United States, 391 F.2d 214 (5th Cir., 1968).
