Sup. Ct. Ind. Certiorari denied for want of standing of petitioner. Doremus v. Board of Education of the Borough of Hawthorne, 342 U. S. 429 . Mr. Justice Douglas would deny certiorari on grounds that petitioner, who was convicted of performing an abortion, is not a doctor and that the decisions of this Court in Roe v.
