OPINION

BEEKS, District Judge.

Plaintiff shipowner (Cosmos) having been held liable without fault to a longshoreman for injuries sustained during the process of loading, and having failed to exact indemnity from the stevedore now seeks indemnity from the United States as time charterer.

The facts are set forth in Allison v. Cosmos Steamship Corp., 433 F.2d 840, (9th Cir. 1970), and will not be repeated.
