Opinion of the Court

United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit. Certiorari denied.

Mr. Justice Black would grant certiorari in this case to consider whether executive officers can impose penalties of the nature here without denying the constitutional guaranties of “due process of law and trial by jury” upheld by this Court in Lipke v. Lederer, 259 U. S. 557, 562.
