Certiorari, 348 U. S. 870, to the United States Court of Appeals for the First Circuit.
Per Curiam:On the record here we are unable to say that the conviction has attained such finality as to support an order of deportation within the contemplation of § 241 of the Immigration and Nationality Act. The judgment is reversed.
