OPINION OF THE COURT

Memorandum

THE COURT.

This petition for review of an order of the Industrial Accident Commission raises the same question as that disposed of in Aetna Life Insurance Co. v. Industrial Acc. Com., L. A. No. 22103, ante, p. 599 [241 P.2d 530], and that decision is controlling here.

The order is annulled and the cause is remanded to the Industrial Accident Commission for further proceedings in accord with our opinion in the Aetna case, supra.

CARTER, J.

I dissent.

The views expressed in my dissent in Aetna Life Ins. Co. v. Industrial Acc. Com., ante, p. 605, are applicable here, from which it follows that I would affirm the order here under review.
