Mr. Justice Douglas,
with whom Mr. Justice Black joins,
dissenting.
1 am of the view that the deprivation of the right to a trial by jury should be given retroactive effect, as I thought should have been done with comparable constitutional decisions. See Gideon v. Wainwright, 372 U. S. 335; Douglas v. California, 372 U. S. 353; Linkletter v. Walker, 381 U. S. 618, 640 (dissenting opinion); Johnson v. New Jersey, 384 U. S. 719, 736 (dissenting opinion); Stovall v. Denno, 388 U. S. 293, 302 (dissenting opinion).
