Opinion

52269.

ARGUED MAY 24, 1976.

DECIDED JULY 1, 1976.

Workmen's compensation. Gordon Superior Court. Before Judge Davis.

Smith, Shaw, Maddox, Davidson Graham, William E. Davidson, Jr., for appellants.

Chance, Maddox Jones, R. F. Chance, for appellee.

QUILLIAN, Judge.

Appeal was taken from the affirmance by the superior court of the award of the State Board of Workmen's Compensation granting compensation to the appellee, claimant. Held:

1. Insofar as the issue of "new accident" is concerned, this case is controlled by the ruling of House v. Echota Cotton Mills, Inc., 129 Ga. App. 350 ( 199 S.E.2d 585). See Blackwell v. Liberty Mut. Ins. Co., 230 Ga. 174 ( 196 S.E.2d 129).

2. The remaining enumerations of error are without merit.

Judgment affirmed. Deen, P. J., and Webb, J., concur.

QUILLIAN, Judge.

ARGUED MAY 24, 1976 — DECIDED JULY 1, 1976.
