Axis subjects and firms were pro-

those transactions they will be re-

added grimly:
The government will take all

patches reported the Ifrpitz, the
cruiser Admiral Hipper and the
pocket battleship Admiral Scheer
were seen steaming along the Nor
wegian coast. Roundabout dis
patches from Germany said the ships
were on guard against possible
Americana British invasion of Nor
way.
British sources said the Tirpitz
would be more difficult to destroy
than was the Bismarck because
land-based planes could protect her.
1t was considered possible that this
factor prevented the ship-based
British aviation from following the
Tirpitz into port. The Tirpitz car
ries at least four planes of her own.
The Tirpitz is listed in James
Fighting Ships as a 35,000-ton ship,
but the victors over the Bismarck
said this twin displaced at least
$4,000 tons, carried an unusually
large crew of 2,400 men, and had
exceptional armor-all attributes
which the Tirpitz is presumed to
duplicate.

Treasury Will Keep
Many Of lis Powers
Over Alien Assets
Crowley, Heading Revived
Office, Plans to Retoin
All Existing Proaroms

Leo T. Crowley, the new alien
property custodian, announced today
that all existing programs for the
management or control of alien as
sets in this country would be con-
tinued, at least for the present.
Mr.. Crowley told reporters the
transfer of alien property powers
from the Treasury to his new Office
would be gradual, and many powers
probably would remain in the
Treasury permanently.
He explained that several impor-
tant steps taken by the Treasury
recently in connection with alien
owned businesses were planned with
his prior consent and would be con-
tinued by him. He said this applied
particularly to the recent authorize
ton for the San Francisco Federal
Reserve Bank to supervise the prop
erty of japanese and other enemy
aliens being evacuated from the
West Coast, and also to the programs
for Americanizing the management
Of the General Aniline and Film Co.,
the Schering Corp. and American
Bosch Magnetic Co.
Cooperation Promised.
Mr.. Crowley met the press at
the semiweekly press conference
of Secretary Of the Treasury Nor
genthau Both spoke of their inten-
tions to cooperate fully, apparently
in an effort to bury the under
cover feud which ragged for the last
few months over who ultimately
would control alien property At one
time, Secretary Morgenthau told the
press the President had given him
the powers. Also 1t was expected
that some Of the powers would be
vested in the Justice Department.
Mr.. Crowley added he was not
sure Just what powers he would take
over or leave in the Treasury, but
intended to concern himself pri-
marily with alien controlled busi-
ness enterprises in this country,
leaving the Treasury generally IN
control of governmental or 1ndlvl-
dual bank accounts or assets OF for-
eigners.
An executive order issued by
President Roosevelt late yesterday
set up the new alien property estao-
lishment as a section of the ONCE
for Emergency Management.
Branches Planned.
Oflcial headquarters Of the agency
will be in Washington, but Mr..
Crowley said he is considering 10
eating the main body of his admin
istrative employees in Chicago with
possibly branches in New York, San
Francisco and other cities.
Mr.. Crowley, 52-year-old Wis
consin native, will continue as chair
man of the Federal Deposit 1nsur-
ance Corp. and likewise in private
life as chairman and president OF
the Standard Gas & Electric Co.,
81 900 100000 utility holding COM
pany with headquarters In Chicago.
AS at present. Mr.. Crowley will
take no salary from the Govern
ment.
