THOMSEN, Chief Judge.
This case presents the questions what is the proper procedure, and who are the necessary and proper parties, in proceedings dealing with the disposition of the wages and effects of an alleged deserting seaman. Because of the relatively small amount involved, $39.42 and certain personal effects, which insured that no one would be badly hurt by delay, the Admiralty and Shipping Section of the Department of Justice and able and experienced counsel for seamen in Baltimore have treated this as a test case, filing elaborate briefs and delivering spirited oral arguments.
