ORDER
Before WEICK, Chief Judge, and PECK and COMBS, Circuit Judges.
COMBS, Circuit Judge.
This is an appeal from an order of the District Court granting a motion for summary judgment in favor of the defendant-appellee in a personal injury action.
The appellant, John Michael Smith, a former employee of the appellee, Montgomery Ward & Co., Inc., was awarded workmen's compensation for an injury sustained in the course of his employment in 1958. That injury was, in the words of appellant's counsel, 'a psycho-physiological-musculo-skeletal reaction.'
