DIGEST: Where it cannot be established clearly whether certain losses and damages to house- hold goods occurred while the shipment was in the custody of the carrier or the govern- ment, which acted as a participating carrier, the Navy should compromise the claim against the carrier for 50 percent of the carrier's contractual liability contingent upon the carrier's prompt settlement at this amount, as provided in an agreement between the mili- tary services and representatives of the carrier industry. Jet Forwarding, Inc. has appealed from our Claims Group's denial of its claim for a refund of S222.40 in connection with a set-off of $444.80 initiated by the Department of the Navy for damages to the household goods of a petty officer durina shipment from Guantanamo Ray, Cuba to Rochester, New York. We find that Jet's claim should be paid in the amount of S156.40. upon receipt of a government bill of lading, a Jet agent packed and picked up the household goods and deliv- ered them to a vessel provided by the government. The government subsequently delivered the goods to another Jet agent in the United States, and the goods were for- warded to Rochester, where they remained in storage until delivery to the owner's residence. At the time of delivery and during the next few days, losses of and damages to a number of items were discovered, and Jet was so notifed.
