1Opinion of the Court
JOHN W. OLIVER, District Judge.
This habeas corpus proceeding presents, as a matter of first impression, the question of whether Chapter 313 of Title 18 United States Code (18 U.S.C.A. §§ 4241-4248, inclusive), relating to mental defectives, is applicable to persons sentenced pursuant to the Youth Corrections Act as it appears in Chapter 402 of Title 18 United States Code (18 U.S.C.A. §§ 5005-5026, inclusive).
While this is the fourth petition for habeas corpus filed by petitioner in this Court, this is the first case in which the question presented has been ripe for adjudication.1
