| partments of their governments as a
result of the resignation of four cabi-
net members, the president of the
| Senate and the speaker of the House
| of Representatives the Secretary of

| miniStrative affairs were wholly in

development is based upon SUPPOSE
ton that at least some of the Berg
doll property taken over by the gov
ernment during the war might be re-
turned should the fugitive give HIM
self up.
