Opinion of the Court

In re: Joye Gaye Thompson applying for certiorari, or writ of review, to the Court of Appeal, Third Circuit, Parish of LaSalle. 212 So.2d 183.

Writs refused. On the facts found by the Court of Appeal the result reached by it is correct.

SUMMERS, Justice, dissents from the refusal to grant writs. The judgment under review does not warrant depriving the mother of the custody of the infant children which the law of Louisiana has traditionally held the mother should have.
