The appellate courts opinion was
divided. two to one, Presiding Judge
Walter H. Sanborn upholding Goltra s
right to the barges and the propriety
Of the restraining order. The ma

Of the Government that Ii Is immune

that the litigation be terminated un-
less the Government consented to
being made party to suit.
Goltra, who is former Democratic
national committeeman from Missouri,
forfeited whatever right he had to the
barges, the court held, by his failure
to operate them for a long period aft
er he obtained possession.
The fight between Goltra and the
Government over the fleet has been a
contest Of legal technicalities since
its inception two years ago. Goltra
obtained possession of the fleet at its

The center green sward and six lakes
are left as a community park. Over
