125 F. Supp. 941 (Federal Supplement)

Counsel

William A. Roberts, Washington, D. C., for plaintiffs. Irene Kennedy, Warren Woods, and Roberts & Mclnnis, Washington, D. C., were on the briefs., Kendall M. Barnes, Washington, D. C., with whom was Warren E. Burger, Asst. Atty. Gen., for defendant.

Opinion of the Court

MADDEN, Judge.

These cases present the same questions which the court considered and answered in the cases of Edward P. Stahel & Co., Inc. v. United States, 78 F.Supp. 800, 111 Ct.Cl. 682, certiorari denied 336 U.S. 951, 69 S.Ct. 878, 93 L.Ed. 1106. We have reconsidered the questions and have come to the same conclusions. No purpose would be served by reciting again the historical facts recited in our former opinion, and again in our findings in the instant cases.

The plaintiffs in No. 47764 are not entitled to recover, since they have failed to prove ownership of the claim. The plaintiffs in No. 47765 are not entitled to recover. The petitions iri Nos. 47764 and 47765 will be dismissed. The plaintiffs in the other cases are entitled to recover the amounts shown in the conclusion of law.

It is so ordered.

JONES, Chief Judge, and LARA-MORE, WHITAKER and LITTLETON, JJ., concur.
