Per Curiam.

Mr. Justice Brennan would reverse the judgment of the lower court.

Dissenting Opinion

Mr. Chief Justice Warren,

dissenting.

I dissent from the dismissal of this appeal as moot for the reasons stated in my dissent in Jacobs v. New York, ante, p. 431. In my view, the question presented by this case is extremely important and requires a decision on the merits by this Court. I would note probable jurisdiction and set the case for argument.

Mr. Justice Douglas dissents. (See dissent set forth in Jacobs v. New York, ante, at 436.)
