Both parties moved for summary judgment. Defendant’s motion was based on 38 U.S.C. § 211(a), which makes final and conclusive the decisions of the Administrator of Veterans’ Affairs. The court, upon consideration of the briefs and oral argument of counsel, held that plaintiff had failed to state a claim within the jurisdiction of the court and ordered, on January 31, 1964, that the petition be dismissed.
