319 U.S. 103 (1943)
JONES
v.
OPELIKA.[*]
No. 280, October Term, 1941.
Supreme Court of United States.
Reargued March 10, 11, 1943.
Decided May 3, 1943.
CERTIORARI TO THE SUPREME COURT OF ALABAMA.
*104 Mr. Hayden C. Covington for petitioners.
No appearance for respondents in Nos. 280 and 314, and appellee in No. 966.
Briefs of amici curiae were filed by Mr. Osmond K. Fraenkel, on behalf of the American Civil Liberties Union, in support of the petition for rehearing; and by Mr. Elisha Hanson, on behalf of the American Newspaper Publishers Association, and Messrs. Homer Cummings and Millward C. Taft, on behalf of the General Conference of Seventh-Day Adventists, in support of the petition for rehearing and urging reversal.
PER CURIAM (announced by MR. JUSTICE DOUGLAS):
The judgments in these cases were affirmed at the October Term, 1941. 316 U.S. 584. Because the issues in all three cases were of the same character as those brought before us in other cases by applications for certiorari at the present term, we ordered a reargument and heard these cases together with Murdock v. Pennsylvania, post, p. 105. For the reasons stated in the opinion of the Court in the Murdock case, and in the dissenting opinions filed in the present cases after the argument last term, the Court is of opinion that the judgment in each case should be reversed. The judgments of this Court heretofore entered in these cases are therefore vacated, and the judgments of the state courts are reversed.
So ordered.
For dissenting opinions, see post, pp. 117-140.
