Head Matter:
Homer S. CUMMINGS, as Attorney General of the United States, and W. A. Julian, as Treasurer of the United States, Appellants, v. Albert JENSEN, Appellee.
No. 6644.
United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia.
Argued May 4, 1936.
Decided June 8, 1936.
James W. Morris, Asst. Atty. Gen., and John W. Scott, Enoch E. Ellison, and Harry LeRoy Jones, all of Washington, D. C., for appellants.
Thos. H. Creighton, Jr., and James J. Lenihan, both of Washington, D. C., for appellee.
Before MARTIN, Chief Justice, and VAN ORSDEL, GRONER, and STEPHENS, Associate Justices.

Opinion:
GRONER, Associate Justice.
This appeal was consolidated and heard with No. 6643 (Cummings et al. v. Societe Suisse, 66 App.D.C. 121, 85 F.(2d) 287), decided today, and it is agreed there is no material difference in the questions involved. Tn each case the suit was to recover a balance of a fund sequestered by the Alien Property Custodian. In each the Custodian in his own name, but for the benefit of the United States, filed a counterclaim asking restitution and alleging fraud in the procurement of the original payment, and in each the court below rejected the counterclaim.
In No. 6643 we held that the action of the court in this respect was error; and, for reasons set out in the opinion there, we reach the same conclusion here, and an order will be entered reversing and remanding.
Reversed and remanded.
