Per Curiam.
The petition for a writ of certiorari is granted and the judgment of the United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit is reversed. Redrup v. New York, 386 U. S. 767.
The Chief Justice and Mr. Justice Brennan would grant the petition, vacate the judgment, and remand in light of Memoirs v. Massachusetts, 383 U. S. 413. Mr. Justice Clark would grant the petition and affirm. Mr. Justice Harlan concurs in the reversal on the basis of the reasoning set forth in his opinions in Roth v. United States, 354 U. S. 476, 496, and Manual Enterprises, Inc. v. Day, 370 U. S. 478.
