6 The petition for writ of certiorari is granted. The judgment of the Court ofAppeals is vacated and the case is remanded to the Court of Appeals forappropriate action in the light of the matter called to this Court's attention onpage 7 of the Solicitor General's brief in No. 235, supra.
7 Mr. Justice CLARK and Mr. Justice HARLAN dissent. The matters referred to
by the Court were not presented in the Court of Appeals and are not presentedby this petition. Agreeing with the Solicitor General that denial of the petitionfor writ of certiorari would not foreclose appropriate consideration thereof bythe Court of Appeals, we see no reason for vacating the Court of Appeals'judgments and, therefore, dissent from this disposition of the matter by theCourt.
