Opinion

Per Curiam.

The motion to dismiss is granted and the appeal is dismissed for want of a substantial federal question.

The Chief Justice would dismiss the appeal for want of jurisdiction, treat the papers submitted as a petition for a writ of certiorari, and grant the petition for a writ of certiorari. Mr. Justice Black and Mr. Justice Douglas dissent.
