Mr. Justice Black and Mr. Justice Douglas are of the opinion that the appeal should be dismissed for want of a substantial federal question. Mr. Justice Stewart is of the opinion that further consideration of the question of jurisdiction should be postponed to the hearing of the case on the merits. Mr. Justice Fortas took no part in the consideration or decision of this case.
