Sword Line, Inc., v. United States.
Theodore J. Breitwieser for petitioner. Solicitor General Sobeloff for the United States.
[MAJORITY — Per Curiam:]
On petition for writ of certiorari to the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit.
Per Curiam:
Cer-tiorari is granted, limited to the question whether admiralty had jurisdiction over the controversy stated in the libel, and the judgment is affirmed. The libel, though dependent on a statute, alleges unjust enrichment from a maritime contract. Archawski v. Hanioti, 350 U. S. 532. Affirmed.
