Appeals from the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida; Norman C. Roettger, Jr., Judge, 367 F.Supp. 747.
Before BROWN, Chief Judge, and MURRAH* and WISDOM, Circuit Judges.

We find that the conclusions reached by the Trial Judge after evidentiary hearings had ample factual support, F.R.Civ.P. 52(a) and were in compliance with Singleton III1 and Lee v. Macon County.2
