1Opinion of the Court
BLACKMUN, Circuit Judge.
We are confronted here with the question whether § 2(b) of the Miller Act, 1 40 U.S.C. § 270b(b), applies to a claimant’s suit on a Capehart Act payment bond so as to vest jurisdiction of the action exclusively in the appropriate federal court and to deny it to the state court. This is the second of two issues decided by the district court in an opinion applicable to a number of cases having to do with claims arising from Capehart housing at Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri. Travis Equip. Co. v. D & L Constr. Co. & Associates, 224 F.Supp. 410, 417-418 (W.D.Mo.1963).
