PER CURIAM:

In this 1975 nontenured Black teacher's suit claiming racial discrimination in his discharge, the District Court held that it was barred by res judicata by reason of his 1973 suit in the same Court. Whether the 1975 suit should be characterized as the "same cause of action" as the rubric goes, see Commissioner of Internal Revenue v. Sunnen, 1948, 333 U.S. 591
