Head Matter:
In the Matter of the Claim of William J. Burnett, Appellant, v. Borden Chemical Division Borden, Inc. et al., Respondents. Workmen’s Compensation Board, Respondent.
Argued October 10, 1974;
decided November 14, 1974.
John 8. Hogg for appellant.
Robert W. Hillis for Borden Chemical Division Borden, Inc. and another, respondents.

Opinion:
Order affirmed, without costs. The issue on this record whether claimant was a five-day worker or a six-day worker was a question of ultimate fact although the underlying facts were undisputed, and, because there was substantial evidence supporting the board's finding that he was a five-day worker, its finding is invulnerable.
Concur: Chief Judge Breitel and Judges Jasen, Gabrielli, Jones, Wachtler, Babin and Stevens.
