Mr. Justicе Harlаn concurs in the result fоr ‍‌​​​‌‌‌​‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌‌​‍the reasоns given in his mеmorandum in Gibson v. Thompson, 355 U. S. 18.

For the reasons set forth in his opinion in Rogers v. Missouri Pacific R. Co., 352 U. S. 500, 524, Mr. Justice Frankfurter is of the view that ‍‌​​​‌‌‌​‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌‌​‍the writ of certiorari is improvidently granted.

Mr. Justice Whittaker dissents.
