Opinion:
Per Curiam.
The record in this case leaves us uncertain whether petitioner's claim to the protection of the Due Process Clause .of the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution was passed upon by the Court of Appeals of Alabama. 38 Ala. App. 143, 88 So. 2d 199. Accordingly, we vacate the judgment of the Court of Appeals and remand the cause to that court in order that it may pass upon this claim. Minnesota v. National Tea Co., 309 U. S. 551.
