1Opinion of the Court
STONE, Circuit Judge.
The statute creating war risk insurance (40 Stat. 398, 409) provides for insurance against death or “total permanent disability.” This insurance was voluntary and a matter of contract. It was in force during the life of the contract (the policy). Therefore, to entitle to recovery thereunder the insured must (where death is not involved) establish “total permanent disability” during the life of the contract [Lumbra v. United States (January 8, 1934) 54 S. Ct. 272, 78 L. Ed. -]; and, in this court [United States v. Cornell, 63 F.(2d) 180; United States v. Peters, 62 F.(2d)…
