j. s. TO GIVE BACK
PROPERTIES
Thirty Thousand Trusts
Seized During War Will
Be Returned Soon..

Decision has been reached by ad-
ministration leaders to press for en-
actment at the present session Of
Congress legislation which will au-
thorize the release of some 10000
trusts, valued at from $1,000 to $10.-

todian and other government officials
led to preparations today by Mr..
Miller to go before the House COM
merce committee at an early date and
renew his accommodation OF legis-
lation along the line of the pending
Winslow bill.
According to official estimates the
small trusts held by the custodian
represent more than 80 per cent of
the total number and these could
be released without depicting the ag-
gregate sum below the total neces-
sary to protect any counter claims
by Americans against Germany.
1t developed today that there is some
difference of opinion among government
officials as to the sum which should be
held to protect the American claims.
totaling $500. 100000. OF these claims
about $1s0.oo0.000 grew out of the sink
ing of the Lusitania, and some officials
have expressed the opinion that this
class of claims. as well as most Of the
other classifications. will be materially
reduced when they come to be adjudi-
Gated.
Mr.. Miller has expressed the opinion
that the per cent OF the trusts remain
