In a sample of 8300 events of the type π-+pπ-+π++n obtained from a hydrogen bubble chamber exposure, a strong sharp ωπ-+π+ peak is observed. Analysis indicates that this ω→2π decay interferes almost perfectly constructively with the prominent decay of ρ0π-+π+. The interference phase is determined to be -15°±30°. This phase is consistent with predictions of π-B degeneracy using Regge-pole methods.
