Eminent domain; requisition of silk; ceiling price as just compensation. It was held by the Court of Claims that plaintiffs in No. 47764 and No. 47765 were not entitled to recover and the petitions dismissed. Recovery was allowed in the other cases, following the opinion in Stahel Inc. v. United States, 111 C. Cls. 682, certiorari denied, 336 U. S. 951.
Plaintiffs' petition in these cases for writ of certiorari was denied by the Supreme Court April 11, 1955.
