In light of the decisions of this Court in Commonwealth ex rel. Cunningham v. Maroney, 421 Pa. 157, 218 A. 2d 811 (1966); Commonwealth ex rel. Branam v.

Myers, 419 Pa. 1, 213 A. 2d 613 (1965), the order of the court below is vacated and the record remanded for consideration of the contention contained in appellant’s petition that he was denied his constitutional right to the assistance of counsel on appeal. Cf. Douglas v. California, 372 U.S. 353, 83 S. Ct. 814 (1963).
