2. ““We observe that if we were to reach the ‘complex legal issues involved in the Federal Tort Claims Act’ referred to above, we would be forced to find that 28 U.S.C. § 2680 (a) and (h) constitute exceptions from Federal liability under the Tort Claims Act, which also served to bar plaintiff’s cause of action in this case.””
