POSSESSION Of HER
PROPERTY WITHHELD

Washington, June 11--Mrs Lille
Bush, widow OF Adoiphus. the st
Louis brewer. will have a rather hard
time in regainiug possession of her
property in this country. This was
learned tonight. following publication
Of dispatch saying she was due to
arrive in Havana. Cuba. today Her
part Of the estate of her millionaire
husband was taken over by \. Mitch
ell Palmer alien property custodian,
as result or her residence in Germany
where she has been since the Begin
ming Of the war.
Whether or not Mrs Busch will he
able to reclaim her property which is
valued a more than million and a
half win depend upon the ability NJ
her counsel To satisfy the department
OF justice of her American citizenship
and that she has resumed bonafide res
tGence in the United States, The trad
ing with the enemy act under which
her property was seized, provides that
property sequestefed by the alien prop
erty custodian because of the resi-
dence of the owner in an enemy county
may be restored to the owner on an
! order from the attorney general stat
ing that the former owner has been
before the department Of justice and
given satisfactory proof of American
citizenship and resumption of legal
residence in this country,
The questions in Mrs. Busch's case
will be on whether or not she can
show the attorney-genera that her
property should be restored Although
no information on this point was OBJ
tainable at the alien properly cust6-
dams office. 1t is understood after
other inquiries that serious difficulty
has been encountered in definitely de-
termining the status Of Mrs Busch's
