United States, 328 U.S. 750 , 764-765, 66 S.Ct. 1239 , 90 L.Ed. 1557 , and that under Rule 52(a) of the F.R.Crim.Proc. it is properly to be disregarded. * * * “The Supreme Court said, in Lut-wak v. United States, 344 U.S. 604 , 619, 73 S.Ct. 481 , 97 L.Ed. 593 , ‘A defendant is entitled to a fair trial but not a perfect one’ ”.”
