BONSAL, Senior District Judge.

We affirmed the decision of the district court, except that we disallowed certain travelling expenses and expert witness’s fees which had been awarded by the district court, on the ground that they were not enumerated in 28 U.S.C. § 1920 and therefore could not be awarded against the United States.…
