1Opinion of the Court

HAMLEY, Circuit Judge.

Plaintiff appeals from a judgment dismissing this action for damages brought against the United States under the Federal Tort Claims Act (Act), 28 U.S.C. §§ 1346(b), 2674.

The action was dismissed before trial on two grounds: (1) the suit was not begun within two years after the alleged claim accrued and was therefore barred under 28 U.S.C. § 2401(b); and (2) the claim arose out of an alleged misrepresentation and, therefore, under 28 U.S.C. § 2680(h) is excepted from the provisions of 28 U.S.C. §§ 1346(b) and 2674. Appellant contests both of these rulings.
