Charles H. Weidner, with him Stevens Lee, for appellant. C. Wilson Austin, with him Edward Youngerman, for appellees.


Plaintiff-appellant appeals from an order of the court below dismissing his motion for judgment on the pleadings in an action of assumpsit.

Summary judgments should be entered only in cases that are free and clear from doubt: Dutch Pantry, Inc. v. Shaffer, 396 Pa. 102, 151 A.2d 621 (1959); Ross v. Metropolitan Life Ins. Co., 403 Pa. 135, 169 A.2d 74 (1961). Our study of the record impels us to the conclusion that this is not such a case.

Order affirmed.
