[MAJORITY]
C. A. 3d Cir. Motion for leave to proceed in forma pauperis granted. Certiorari granted limited to the first question presented by the petition which reads as follows: “Does a court-martial, held under the Articles of War, Tit. 10, U. S. C. § 801 et seq., have jurisdiction to try a member of the Armed Forces who is charged with commission of a crime cognizable in a civilian court and having no military significance, alleged to have been committed off-post and while on leave, thus depriving him of his constitutional rights to indictment by a grand jury and trial by a petit jury in a civilian court?” Case transferred to appellate docket.
