O’Hara, J.
(concurring in result). I concur in the result reached by Judge Brennan. I limit my endorsement of the majority holding only because I am literally scared stiff of getting into a detailed analysis of the crazy patchwork of amendments to the Workmen’s Compensation Act unless it is absolutely decisionally necessary. This, of course, because of possible precedential effects. I do not think it is essential in this case.
I accept, as I must, the fact that plaintiff sustained his original injury February 10, 1954.
I agree with the legal conclusion that the employer discharged all of its liability to plaintiff.
Essentially I agree with the dissenting opinion of appeal board member Storie, which was in effect adopted by the majority opinion of this Court.
I also vote to reverse and remand for entry of an order awarding plaintiff the appropriate benefits for total and permanent disability.
