S. 491 decided by the Supreme Court on the same day as Laub, Justice Fortas reversed the conviction of the petitioner on charges of traveling to Cuba viaMexico without a valid passport in violation of Sec. 215(b) of the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952. Adverting to the decision in Laub that area restrictions are not criminally enforceable under Sec. 215(b), the Court held that the Government had not proved that the petitioner had left the country without a valid passport, within the terms of this statute.
