1. “"The difficulty with granting the relief sought, however, is that even an unqualified certificate by the Attorney General—and the present certificate falls far short of that and may not be borne out by evidence hereafter coming to the attention of the United States Attorney— does not with finality convert the case into one against the United States. * * * The reference back to subsection (b) and its further reference to 28 U.S.C. § 1346 (b) indicate that the case must not merely be a government motor vehicle case in which a proper Attorney General's certificate has been given. It must also be a case in which a remedy is `available' under the respondeat superior principle, that is, where in fact the employee was acting within the scope of his office or employment and the exceptions of 28 U.S.C. § 2680 do not operate. * * * Until that issuable point of fact is set at rest with finality the case cannot be dismissed. * * *" (Emphasis added).”
