JUDGMENT
This action, wherein the plaintiffs seek a declaratory judgment respecting and an injunction restraining the enforcement or operation of provisions of Subtitle H of the Internal Revenue Code of 1954 on grounds of repugnance to the Constitution of the United States, having been heard on the entire record and on the briefs and oral arguments of counsel; and
