Opinion

PeR Cueiam.

The complaint nowhere alleges that the discharge was in breach of any contract of employment. Without such contract, a discharge is not wrongful. No cause of action has been stated because of the termination of the employment. May v. Power Co., 216 N.C. 439, 5 S.E. 2d 308; Howell v. Credit Corp., 238 N.C. 442, 78 S.E. 2d 146. As only one cause of action is alleged, the judgment sustaining the demurrer is

Reversed.
