A hearing was held before a deputy director of the State Board of Workmen's Compensation to determine liability, disability, compensation, and medical, arising out of an injury allegedly sustained by the claimant-employee on April 17, 1961. The parties stipulated that the burden of proof was on the claimant. The deputy director found that the claimant was suffering from a partial incapacity to work, but that this disability primarily resulted from a back injury sustained in April, 1957, and was not traceable to the injury of April 1961, upon which the claim was predicated. Accordingly, an award denying compensation was entered by the deputy director, and was affirmed by the full board. The Superior Court of Thomas County reversed the award of the full board and remanded the case to the board with direction that an award for permanent partial disability be issued in favor of the claimant. The exception is to that judgment. Held:

App. 440 (126 SE2d 907), relied upon by the claimant's counsel, is not controlling here.
