Mr. Justice Rutledge,
concurring.
In accordance with the views which I have expressed in Williams v. North Carolina, ante, p. 226, I do not think full faith and credit have been given by the Pennsylvania courts to the Nevada decree in this case. But upon the basis of the Court’s decision in that case, made' applicable also in this one, I concur in the result. In doing so, however, it is appropriate to indicate' my agreement with the views expressed in the concurring opinion of Mr. Justice Douglas that the jurisdictional foundation for a decree in one state capable of foreclosing an action for maintenance or support in another may be different from that required to alter marital status with extraterritorial effect.
