BIGGS, Circuit Judge. *
These two cases may be disposed of in one opinion. The plaintiff is a seaman in the United States Merchant Marine who alleges that he was injured aboard the S.S. Amoco Maine, when attacked and beaten by another member of the crew. He has filed a libel in Admiralty No. 491 of 1958 for maintenance and cure. He has also filed a civil action under the Jones Act, 46 U.S.C.A. § 688. The defendant has filed motions in both cases under Section 1404(a), Title 28 U.S.C., to remove both actions to the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas.
