Robert L. Meyer, U. S. Atty., Brian James O'Neill, Theodore E. Orliss, Gregory E. Fischbach, Asst. U. S. Attys., Robert L. Brosio, Chief, Criminal Division, Los Angeles, Cal., for appellee.
Before CHAMBERS and MERRILL, Circuit Judges, and WOLLENBERG, District Judge.

On the full facts, we cannot say that it was incumbent on counsel to make an insanity issue.
