stand why that officer has been ut

torneys who have been appointed or
employed by the alien property Gus
todian and their compensation; the

pervisors. managers. auditors or
other agents appointed by the alien
property custodian to take care of
or to have the administration of
property, with the compensation
paid to each; the names of all at
torneys employed by corporations,
agents or individuals who have been
or are acting as administrators or
| caretakers of property, and the COM
pensation paid to each; the names Of

or who now represent claimants to
property under the control OF the

neys who have represented claim
ants TO whom property has been re-
| turned and the compensation al
lowed to each of them, and a state
ment and description OF all prop
