United States Court of Appeals,

Oct. 29, 1971.
Rehearing Denied Nov. 19, 1971.

Doris Brin Walker (argued), of Treuhaft, Walker & Burnstein, Oakland, Cal., for appellants.

Paul N. Halvonik, Charles C. Marson, San Francisco, Cal., amici curiae.

Before ELY and KILKENNY, Circuit Judges, and McNICHOLS, District Judge.*

PER CURIAM:

1

Although the issue is close, we hold that the record before us presents a substantial federal question of constitutional stature. Consequently, the judgment of the lower court, 308 F.Supp. 832, is set aside and the cause remanded with instructions to convene a three-judge Court pursuant to the provisions of 28 U.S.C. Sec. 2281.

2

We express no opinion as to the ultimate resolution of the constitutional issues.
