The report discloses the fact that
charges heretofore made by Senator
King that the present Alien Property
Custodian has seized property since
peace was declared with Germany last
July are groundless and without any
foundation whatsoever The last prop
crty seized by the custodian was that
belonging to Grover Bergdoll, seized
on May 27. 1921, under the provisions
of the trading with the enemy act and
within the scope Of that act.
Col. Miller, summarizing his report,
said:
The property administered by the
custodians office to-day consists OF
about $4,000 active trusts, representing
property scattered from the Philippine
Islands and Hawaii. and located in
almost every State and Territory in
the United States Generally speaking.
the property consists of industrial
plants, such as chemical and woolen
mills steamship lines. banks, land and
cattle companies, salmon factories, gold,
silver and other precious mines of metal
and other miscellaneous industrial!
plants. as we'll as thousands Of parcels
of real estate and trusts represented by
securities and liquid assets. The ap.
proximate value of this property
AMOUNTS to about $3.50, 000,0
The only one of the New York lawyers
mentioned in Col Miller's report who
could be reached last night was Abran
/. Elkus. All he would say was that nc
had represented some of the concerns
which were in the hands Of the A,ien
Property Custodian during the war. but
that the fees he received were reason
able and were paid in return for ful
value in services.
