Opinion

Report to the Senate. On motion of the parties, and a stipulation filed by the parties requesting that the facts therein agreed to be found by the court, the court adopted as its special findings of fact the stipulation with the affidavit appended thereto, and rendered a decision in accordance with its opinion in the case of Maud M. Wright and Maxine Roberts, formerly Maxine Mills v. United States, Congressional No. 17850, decided March 6, 1951, ante, p. 576, with a conclusion of law as follows:

Upon the foregoing findings of fact the court concludes that as a matter of law plaintiff would have had a just and legal claim against the United States if at the time the events occurred on January 21, 1944, the United States had been suable in an action for negligence sounding in tort. Consent for the Government to be sued in such cases was given in Title IV of the Act of August 2, 1946, Federal Tort Claims Act, 60 Stat. 842, 843, 28 U. S. C. 1346 (b). The court further concludes that even if the above statute had been in effect on January 21, 1944, the plaintiff’s claim would [626]*626have been barred by the Indiana statute of limitations at the expiration of two years from that day. Any payment, therefore, made by the authority of Congress upon _ plaintiff’s claim would be in the nature of a gratuity.
Now, therefore, is it ordered this 3d day of April 1951, that the motion for a decision be and the same is allowed, and the special findings of fact and conclusion of law are directed to be transmitted as said decision to the Senate in accordance with the Act of March 3, 1911, 36 Stat. 1087, as amended by the Act of June 25, 1948, 28 U. S. C. 1492, 2509.
