Appeal from the Supreme Court, Appellate Division, First Department, SCHMUCK, J.

The motion papers contain allegations sufficient to empower the court in its discretion to grant to the United States leave to sue. We pass on no other question. Whether on the facts and the law the United States has a cause of action must await trial of the action.

The order should be affirmed, with costs.
