Wright, J.:
. We held in Commonwealth ex rel. O’Brien v. O’Brien, 182 Pa. Superior Ct. 584, 128 A. 2d 164, affirmed 390 Pa. 551, 136 A. 2d 451, that the Act of May 24,1951, P. L. 402, 28 P.S. 306, was not intended by the legislature to require blood grouping tests in an action for support of a child born during wedlock. The legislature subsequently repealed the Act of 1951, and adopted the Uniform Act on Blood Tests to Determine Paternity. Act of July 13, 1961, P. L. 587, 28 P.S. 307.1 et seq. In view of this apparent change in legislative intent, I concur in the result.
