Mr. Justice Douglas
dissents from the reversal of the Court of Appeals in United States v. Rundle, 349 F. 2d 416 , which affirmed United States v. Rundle, 243 F. Supp. 695, 700 , where the District Court granted the petition for habeas corpus since the introduction of the accused’s “prior criminal record for obstructing a railroad was so fundamentally unfair as to deny him due process .of law.”
