   PER CURIAM.

The case must be affirmed. The only questions involved are the intention of the insured soldier and whether or not he took such steps to effectuate his intention to change the beneficiary of his policy (if he had any such intention) as reasonably might be expected under the circumstances. We find nothing in the record to cause us to disturb the decision of Judge Letts based upon his findings of fact and conclusions of law, which we therefore adopt

Affirmed.
