““ * * *, we are of the opinion that the judge below was correct in holding that in this proceeding the Government was entitled to have the value of the property, as a whole, fixed by the jury. The Government was seeking to take the prop erty for a lawful use and was not interested in the conflicting claims of owners as to the value of their respective interests. The taking was not of the rights of designated persons in the property but of the property itself. ‘ * * * an unqualified taking in fee by eminent domain takes all interests and as it takes the res is not called.upon to specify the interests that happen to exist.’ Duckett & Co. v. United States, 266 U.S. 149 , 45 S.Ct. 38 , 69 L.Ed. 216 .” 144 F.2d 752, 753 .”
