Dissenting Opinion by
Weight, P. J.:
I would affirm the judgment of sentence. Although a few questions on cross-examination may have been technically improper,1 no objection was made at the time and the record clearly indicates that the matter was not sufficiently prejudicial to require the grant of a new trial. Cf. Commonwealth v. Comer, 167 Pa. Superior Ct. 537, 76 A. 2d 233.
Watkins and Hannum, JJ., join in this dissenting opinion.

 Our Supreme Court has now ruled in Commonwealth v. Smith, 432 Pa. 517, 248 A. 2d 24, filed November 27, 1968, that it is proper to question a defendant, who places his character in issue, concerning prior arrests which did not result in convictions.
