PER CURIAM.

We affirm in open court District Judge Metzner's judgment on a jury verdict for plaintiff. The questions of contributory negligence and assumption of risk raised by the defendant constituted no basis for a directed verdict and the judge's charge to the jury was appropriate and free from error.
