Motion for leave to proceed in forma pauperis granted. Petition for writ of certiorari to the United States Court of Appeals for the First Circuit granted limited to Question No. 5 presented by the petition which reads as follows:

“Whether production of a statement which was read and signed by a government witness is excused after a complete foundation for it is made under 18 U. S.

Agent and not the statement signed by the witness without any showing as to what became of the original statement.”
