FRANK, Circuit Judge,
concurring in the result.
I think we should hold no more than this: Assuming, arguendo, that an unequivocal claim by appellant of mutual debts would have called for reversal, we affirm because appellant’s answer made no such claim; it merely alleged “upon information and belief” (1) that the Reichs*937bank was an instrumentality and part of the German government and (2) that that government owed appellant an amount in excess of the amount of the Reichsbank’s deposit; as against the custodian such an allegation is insufficient in an action like this.
CLARK, Circuit Judge, dissents as to the modification for denial of interest and concurs as to the remainder of the opinion.
