i. ). Bank Accounts
OF Aliens Tied Up
By Freezing Order
Later Arrangements May
ALLOW Usual Transactions
By Germans and ItuIiuns
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
More than 100000 German and
italian nationals in the United
States will be affected by President
Roosevelt's order yesterday freezing
Axis funds.
Under the order, they may not sell
or transfer property or make with
drawals from their bank accounts
except on approval of the Treasury.
Some officials said that while
there might be some hardShips at
first it was believed that regula-
tons would be worked out so that
aliens coming under the order could
carry on ordinary transactions with
out individual authorizations This
probably will follow the plan used
in previous cases of permitting
Withdrawals up to a fixed maximum
500 or 5000 a month-to cover
normal living costs.
When transactions exceeded the
monthly maximum, they would re-
ouire application to a Federal Re-
serve bank setting out the purpose
for which the money was wanted or
why assets were being transferred.
Under the census Of foreign assets
ordered by Mr.. Roosevelt all aliens
must list their assets in this country,
provided they aggregate more than
$1,000.
The regulation which called for
this report requires listing of prop
erty held both on June l, 1910, and
today. so that the Government will
be able to trace transfers by aliens
during the past II months.
This property survey will supple
ment the data on non-citizens
gathered last year when 100000
aliens were registered and finger
printed
Sample SURVEYS of that data
showed $50 900 Italians and 100000
Germans in the United States.
Yesterdays freezing order also af-
fects 100000 Poles, but they, like the
thousands of citizens of other IN
vaded countries who reside here.
probably will get somewhat different
treatment than Axis nationals.
