• double jeopardy argument waived where defendant pleaded guilty with knowledge of the argument and the sentence to which he was exposed
• see also Parker v. United States, 507 F.2d 587, 588 n.1 [8th Cir. 1974] [suggesting a retreat from earlier cases finding waiver], cert. denied, 421 U.S. 916 [1975]
