ROOSEVELT KIN
LOSES SUIT

All American claims against
Germany growing out of the
World War, except those based on
alleged sabotage, today had been
disposed of by the German-Amer-
lean mixed claims commission.
The last case, on which a decl-
sion was handed down yesterday,
involved the claim of Mrs. Kath-
crime McNider Drier, relative by
marriage of President Roosevelt.
She was denied the right to sue
the German government for $780,
900 in a decision handed down by
Justice Owen J. Roberts, umpire
of the German-American mixed
claims commission.
Judge Roberts held that In view
of previous commission awards OF
$298,000 to Mrs. Drier for seizure
of her property near Dresden by
the German government after this
country entered the World War,
the case could not be reopened.
During the thirteen and one
half years of its existence, the
mixed claims commission has
handled 20,400 cases growing out
of the World War claims and has
made awards to American claim
ants in 6,841 cases totaling $274,-
900 900. Of this amount $780,
10000 has been paid by the Ger
man government.

The plane is averaging far more

speed.
Up to a late hour this after
noon, Levanevski was still IN

Moscow, reporting all going
smoothly.
Speeding out of a rainstorm,
the aviators raced on through
clear skies direct for the North
Pole.
