Felton, Chief Judge,
concurring specially. I concur in the judgment and what is said in the opinion except the ruling in Division 1|. In my opinion this court is not controlled by the laws of practice in Georgia on the question whether the State Department may file in this court for the first time a suggestion of sovereign immunity as to the funds involved. I think that such a suggestion can be filed at any time up to the execution of the writ subjecting the funds. It' follows that the' judgment should be reversed even if the Republic of Cuba had no standing upon which to raise the issue of sovereign immunity on its own behalf.
