Wants To Dispose
Of Alien Property
WASHINGTON, (IP) — The Of
fice of alien property, seeking to
wind up war-time controls, has
asked persons having custody of
foreign-owned property in this
country for new reports on their
holdings.
Property owned by European
aliens was tied up <at the outset
of World War II to prevent Ger
many from deriving any benefits
from that property held by Ger
man citizens or citizens of coun
tries invaded by German forces.
After the war the U. S. govern
ment started releasing such prop
erty on receipt of proof that it
was not of enemy origin. But mil
lions of dollars’ worth of alien
property is still tied up.
The office of alient property,
department of justice, asked new
reports on this property by Nov.
15. But an official says that if
such reports are received within a
reasonable time” no action will be
taken against persons who failed
to respond by the Nov. 15 dead
line.
<
Most such property is held by
banks, the spokesman said.
He said it was felt that holders
of the tied-up property have had
sufficient time to comply with
the procedure for recovering it.
If such property is not claimed,
it is assumed to be of enemy ori
gin and taken over by the United
States. .
Forms for making the required
reports may be obtained in Alaska
from Lew Williams, Territorial
Secretary, Juneau.

his historical canvas “The Battle
of Lepanto.”
