1Opinion of the Court
CUMMINGS, Circuit Judge.
These companion cases were tried ten days apart by the same District Judge, with the same counsel representing the three defendants. Both cases involve the construction of 18 U.S.C. § 1952, which was added to the Criminal Code in 1961 as a part of the Attorney General’s program to combat gambling, narcotics, prostitution, liquor and other offenses.
The common question in these cases is whether Section 1952 requires an intent to violate federal law by using any facility in interstate commerce. The District Court held that no such intent was required, and we agree.
