Head Matter:
MITCHELL v. UNITED STATES.
No. 448,
Misc.
Decided January 22, 1962.
John Bodner, Jr. for petitioner.
Solicitor General Cox, Assistant Attorney General Miller and Beatrice Rosenberg for the United States.

Opinion:
Per Curiam.
The motion for leave to proceed in forma pauperis and the petition for a writ of certiorari, which presents the question whether materially false testimony was used against petitioner at the trial, are granted, the judgment of the Court of Appeals is vacated, and the case is remanded to the District Court for a hearing upon petitioner's motion, treated as a motion for a new trial on the ground of newly discovered evidence. Cf. Mesarosh v. United States, 352 U. S. 1. We, of course, intimate no view upon the merits of the motion.
