On petition for writ of certiorari to the Supreme Court of Illinois. Consideration of the petition for certiorari is deferred to accord counsel for petitioner opportunity to secure a certificate from the Supreme Court of Illinois as to whether the judgment herein was intended to rest on an adequate and independent state ground, or whether decision of the federal claim, identified in respondent’s second response as having been asserted by the petitioner at pages 66-67 in her brief in the Supreme Court of Illinois, was necessary to the judgment rendered. Cf. Loftus v. Illinois, 334 U. S. 804; Herb v. Pitcairn, 324 U. S. 117.
