The present suit was commenced one year after the bankruptcy petition was filed. Defendant moved to dismiss for failure to comply with statutory limitations. Held, motion denied. Section II(e) of the Bankruptcy Act supersedes the state statute of limitations in this case. Engstrom v. De Vos, (D.C. Wash. 1949) 81 F. Supp. 854.
