PER CURIAM. This :,s an appeal from a judgment for defendant in an action under the Tort Claims Act. - 28 U.S.C.A. §§ 1346, 2671 et seq. Plaintiff sustained injuries when the automobile which he was driving was in collision with an automobile driven by one Stefan, an enlisted member of the United States Naval forces. Stefan was driving his own privately owned automobile on the way to attend the funeral of a deceased serviceman under orders which directed him to travel at his own expense, subject to reimbursement, but did not direct him to use his own automobile.
