““ * * * We have held often enough not to require repetition that res judicata applies not only to points on which the court was actually required to pronounce judgment, but, as well, to every point which properly belonged to the subject of the controversy and which the parties, in the exercise of reasonable diligence, might have brought forward at the time. See United States ex rel. Donner Steel Oo. v. Interstate Commerce Comm., 56 App.D.C. 44 , 8 F.2d 905 ; Nalle v. Oyster, 36 App.D.C. 36 .””
