Kossick  v.  United Fruit Company

 Argued: Feb. 20, 1961. --- Decided: April 17, 1961


Mr. Justice WHITTAKER, dissenting.

Like the Court of Appeals, 275 F.2d 500, I think the oral contract here claimed by petitioner was not a maritime but a New York contract and barred by its statute of frauds. New York Personal Property Law, § 31, par. 2. I therefore dissent.
