Opinion of the Court

Court of Claims jurisdiction/ tort claim. — Plaintiff, a seaman employed by the United States Government aboard a Maritime Administration vessel, claims damages for injuries allegedly caused by the operation of a United States Army Truck and subsequent medical treatment at an Army dispensary.

Upon consideration thereof, together with the opposition thereto, without oral argument, the court concluded that plaintiff’s alleged claim sounds in tort and is therefore not within the jurisdiction of this court.
