Mr. Justice Brennan,
dissenting.
I agree with my Brother Douglas, for the reasons stated in his dissenting opinion, that the federal question respecting notice was raised and therefore that we have the duty to decide whether Endicott Johnson Corp. v. Encyclopedia Press, 266 U. S. 285, should be overruled. In my view the situation in this case is indistinguishable from that in Endicott — both involve money *743judgments and present the identical question whether actual notice to the judgment debtor of execution and judicial sale was required by procedural due process. In that circumstance the judgment before us cannot be reversed without overruling Endicott. Since the Court refuses to consider whether Endicott should be overruled, I see no alternative but to vote to affirm on its authority.
