When each facility will be re-
turned will be determined in indi-
vidual cases by the Federal officer
or agency now holding and operat-
ing it. Each return will be subject
to the approval of Economic Sta
bilization Director William H. Davis
Mr.. Davis, a White House state

Dental order and said action was

turn of the privately owned plants.
Montgomery Ward Included.
Among the properties now held by
the Government are seven Mont

Ten of the seized propexies are
being operated by the Army. three
by the Navy, five by the Petroleum
Administration for War, four by the
Interior Department and two by the

Mr.. Davis said in a statement:
During the course of the war, 1t
has been necessary for the Govern
ment, in order to insure efficient
operation of certain plants and IA
cilities for the war effort, or to pre-
vent disruption of national wartime
labor policy, to take possession of
and operate various properties over
the country.
with the surrender of Japan, the
Government desires to return these
properties to their owners for pri-
vate operation as soon as it Is prac-
ticable to do so.
Procedure Conferences Held.
ITO this end, representatives of
the various operating agencies have
been in conference with me, to work
out orderly procedures for quickly
returning the plants. Operations
have been carried on by several
agencies under varying conditions
Somewhat different procedures may
need to be followed in different
cases and no attempt will be made
to return all of the properties on
the same day. However, it was our
unanimous agreement that Govern
ment operation should cease as soon
as possible.
Accordingly the executive order
authorized return of the plants to
their owners as soon as practicable
as determined in each case by the
officer by whom the property in
question Is held or operated for the
Government, with the approval of
