Before HOLMES, STRUM and RIVES, Circuit Judges.
RIVES, Circuit Judge.
Upon consideration, the petition of appellee for rehearing in the above styled and numbered cause is hereby denied.

This Court has heretofore allowed attorney's fees directly on motion filed by the attorney for the claimant and in accordance with33 U.S.C.A. § 928. Fidelity Casualty Co. of New York v. Henderson, 5 Cir.,128 F.2d 1019; Radcliff Gravel Co. v. Henderson, 5 Cir.,138 F.2d 549. In each of those cases, however, the judgment of the District Court was affirmed; while in the present case, the judgment is reversed and remanded for further proceedings not inconsistent with the opinion of this Court. Such further proceedings, we think, should include the allowance of such claims for legal services rendered before the Deputy Commissioner and in the District Court and on appeal as may appear just and proper in accordance with the provisions of33 U.S.C.A. § 928. Accordingly, the motion for this Court to fix attorney's fees is denied.
