C. A. 6th Cir. Certiorari granted limited to the third question presented by the petition for the writ, i. e.:

“Whether assignments of claims against the United States for such timber damage to the leased property are void under the Anti-Assignment Act ( 31 U. S. C. § 203 ), where the assignments were voluntarily made by the lessor-owners of the property to their successors in title after the leases had expired and after possession had been returned to them by the United States.”
