AN ACT
For the relief of William Franklin Rollins.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,
That the Secretary of the Treasury is authorized and directed to pay, out of any money in the Treasury not otherwise appropriated, to William Franklin Rollins, Anniston, Alabama, the sum of $5,000. The payment of such sum shall be in full settlement of all claims of the said William Franklin Rollins against the United States arising out of personal injuries sustained by him on August 31, 1951, when the automobile in which he was riding on the Fort McClellan Superhighway near Anniston, Alabama, was struck by a United States Army vehicle being driven by an enlisted man of the Army. Such claim is not compensable under
the Federal Tort Claims Act because of the fact that the driver of such vehicle was using it for unauthorized purposes and was not acting within the scope of his employment at the time of the accident: Provided, That no part of the amount appropriated in this Act in excess of 10 per centum thereof shall be paid or delivered to or received by any agent or attorney on account of services rendered in connection with this claim, and the same shall be unlawful, any contract to the contrary notwithstanding. Any person violating the provisions of this Act shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor and upon conviction thereof shall be fined in any sum not exceeding $1,000.
Approved September 2, 1958.
