    PERKINS-CAMPBELL COMPANY v. THE UNITED STATES
    [57 C. Cls. 623; 264 U. S. 213]
    Judgment was rendered in favor of the United States in the court below. On appeal the judgment was affirmed, and the Supreme Court decided:
    Where an award, made under the Dent Act for expenses incurred under a war contract, was accepted, with payment, by the claimant, in full discharge of the obligations of the United States under the contract, re-formation of the award is a prerequisite to recovery of additional compensation in the Court of Claims.
    It is not a ground for re-forming such an award that the claimant, before accepting it, was advised by Army officers believed to be acting under directions of the board that examined the case, that acceptance would not waive further claim under the contract.
    Allegations of a petition held insufficient as a basis for re-forming an award on the ground of mutual mistake by the claimant and the United States.
   Mr. Justice SaNeoed
