PER CURIAM.
Petitioner, Carl B.

Following adverse rulings on the claim by the Bureau of Retirement Claims and the Appeals Council, the Railroad Retirement Board found that petitioner’s permanent physical and mental condition “was not shown to be such that he is unable to engage in any regular employment within the meaning of Section 2(a) (5) of the Act” and denied the claim. This review followed. 45 U.S. C.A. §§ 228k, 355(f).
