CLARK, Circuit Judge
(concurring in the result).
Because 1 fear lest the constitutional right to counsel was somewhat cavalierly treated below, I concur with some doubt. I will agree that no real prejudice is made apparent from the temporary substitutions during the trial. There is more question as to the lack of counsel during the sentencing, which does seem to me a definite error. Martin v. United States, 5 Cir., 182 F.2d 225, 20 A.L.R.2d 1236, certiorari denied 340 U.S. 892, 71 S.Ct. 200, 95 L.Ed. 647. But since that would call only for resentencing by the same judge, I shall not press the point further against the views of my brethren.
