Description

BROWN, C. J.: This appeal by the Railroad from a judgment entered on a reparation award made by the Interstate Commerce Commission presents three questions. The first is the matter of the statute of limitations. Second, there is the problem of whether the traffic consultant Austin (one of the plaintiff-appellees) had an assignment of a 50% interest in the award as distinguished from a mere contingency. The third, and most serious, concerns the admissibility under the Federal Business Records Act, 28 USCA ? 1732, of a Dun & Bradstreet report either as a basis for impeachment of the witness or as an admission of the party (Flocks, a plaintiff), or both.
