ORDER
The request for oral argument on the petition for habeas corpus is denied.
The petition for habeas corpus is denied.
In the interests of prompt resumption of trial it is suggested that the district court consider allowing petitioner, as an option to commitment, to withdraw his cross-examination based upon his investigator’s photographic display to the witnesses, such cross-examination to be stricken and the jury admonished to disregard it.
The application for stay of mandate is denied. Judge Hufstedler’s stay of the district court’s order of March 14, 1972, committing petitioner, is extended to and including Monday, March 27, 1972, to permit petitioner to apply to Circuit Justice William O. Douglas for a stay pending the filing of a petition for cer-tiorari.
