relating to the finality or conclusiveness of any decision of the
head of any department or agency or his duly authorized
representative or board in a dispute involving a question arising
under such contract, shall be pleaded in any suit now filed or to
be filed as limiting judicial review of any such decision to cases
where fraud by such official or his said representative or board is

and conclusive unless the same is fradulent (!1) or capricious or
arbitrary or so grossly erroneous as necessarily to imply bad
