fact that when the police officers

number was determined. He con-
tended that inasmuch as no officer
was able to identify the track, the

that the panel be asked if any of its

assumption cannot today be chal-

system if the opposition came into

a symptom of the feeling which SO

Government cannot be trusted, even
with Congress elected at specified
