Rehearing and Rehearing En Banc Denied January 30, 1975.

AINSWORTH, Circuit Judge:

The principal question in this case is whether there is a 180-day limitation on the power of the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission to bring actions under Title VII, Subchapter VI, of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended, 42 U.S.C. § 2000e et seq. (1974). We hold that the statute contains no limitation, and accordingly reverse the district court.
