Syllabus

A private motor carrier sued in the Court of Claims to recover just compensation for an alleged temporary taking of its property and business by the United States under Executive Order No. 9462.

Held: this deprived the Court of Claims of jurisdiction to enter judgment in the case. Pp. 341 U. S. 319-320.

115 Ct.Cl. 733, 88 F.Supp. 278, vacated and remanded.
