IRVING R. KAUFMAN, District Judge.
The plaintiff brought this action against the defendant under the Jones Act, 46 U.S.C.A. § 688, for the recovery of damages for personal injuries occasioned by the alleged negligence of the defendant, and for the cost of his maintenance and cure. At the outset of the trial the defendant moved to dismiss the complaint on the ground that being a general agent under the war-time standard form of agency agreement there was no liability on its part to the plaintiff, and that the proper defendant was the United States of America.
