    Rule 2 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure declares: ‘ There shall be one form of action to be known as ‘ civil action’ .' The notes to Rule 2 explain: ‘ Reference to actions at law or suits in equity in all statutes should now be treated as referring to the civil action prescribed in these rules.’ 28 U.S.C.A. § 723c notes following Rule 2 (1941); and see United States v.
