Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana.
Before WISDOM, GODBOLD, and RONEY, Circuit Judges.
We have carefully reviewed the record, including the record before the Deputy Commissioner, the order of the Deputy Commissioner, the record in the district court, the carefully considered opinion of the district court, 333 F. Supp. 430, and the briefs of the parties filed in this Court. We conclude that the findings of the Deputy Commissioner that the claimant's cerebral vascular accident arose out of the claimant's employment are supported "by substantial evidence on the record considered as a whole".
