United States Court of Claims

1Opinion of the CourtDavis, Judge
In the spring of 1959, plaintiffs , agreed with the Department of Agriculture to barter more than $6,600,000 worth of industrial diamonds for surplus cotton owned by the Commodity Credit Corporation (OCC). In this suit, they demand damages of $1,736,514.45, claimed to stem from the Department’s refusal to exchange its cotton on the basis of the average world market value of cotton, rather than a higher price desired by CCC. Charging that the agency’s actions contravened its statutory authority, plaintiffs sue for the money value of the additional cotton they say they should have received.
