## Opinion text

SIMONS, Circuit Judge
(dissenting).
I think the order of dismissal should be affirmed. I am unable to accept the doctrine governing the majority opinion that one who borrows his employer’s car for use on his own affairs remains or becomes the agent of the employer as a matter of law when he returns the car as directed.
