James D. ATHERTON, petitioner,

v.

OREGON.

No. 1548, Misc.

United States Supreme Court.

June 20, 1966

COUNSEL

James D. Atherton, pro se.

George Van Hoomissen and George M. Joseph, for respondent.

OPINION

Petition for writ of certiorari to the Supreme Court of Oregon.

Denied.

Mr. Justice DOUGLAS is of the opinion that certiorari should be granted and the judgment below reversed. He would remand this case for a new trial, it being clear from the record that the principles announced in Miranda v. Arizona, 384 U.S. 436, 86 S.Ct. 1602, 16 L.Ed.2d 694, were not applied. He sees no reason for [86 S.Ct. 1983] discriminating against this petitioner, this case having come here on direct review and being of the same vintage as Miranda v. Arizona. See dissenting opinion in Johnson v. New Jersey, 384 U.S. 736, 86 S.Ct. 1782, 16 L.Ed.2d 894.
