Claims Queries and Answers

CT Justice, Warrington rs, DC.
2. O. I have large family and
before evacuation each Of my
three boys, after finishing college,
worked for five or six years at a
salary Of fifty dollars week. If
there had been no evacuation,
order, each Of my boys would
have been able TO save $500 for
the three years during confine-
ment in camp. Can they claim
for this loss of savings?
A. The law prohibits the allow
ance of any claims for anticipated
profits or earnings on the theory
hat such losses are too speculative.
You state each of your boys would
have been able to save $500 in
the course Of three years. But even
if there had not been an evacua
ion many things might have &C.
Cured which might have prevented
them from saving this amount OF
which would have induced them to
spend their earnings instead OF
saving them For these reasons
Congress decided not to allow claims
for anticipated earnings. In a spe-
cial case, of course, such as a per-
son employed under contract
given him at fixed wage or hav-
ing Civil Service status or a SEMI
ority position on his job, it nigh,
be claimed that the earnings were
fixed and not anticipated in TIT
sense of being speculative. Ever
in such a case, however, it woult
be difficult to determine what par
of the earnings might have beer
saved and therefore constitute I
loss of property due to the evacua
ton. OF course, as in all cases, {
definite decision can be obtainet

for the value Of leases lost? My
hotel lease ran to 1914, but at the
time Of evacuation I had no time
to plan or bargain and I sold II
at an actual loss. Ordinarily
these leases might easily have
been renewed. The present value
of such holdings would be almost
double the market value Of the
hotels. In filing, should I claim
the full value of what the lease
was worth at time of evacuation,
or what IL would cost me 10 buy
up a lease now?
A. It appears that the loss you
actually suffered upon the forced
sale of your hotel lease was the diff
ference between the value Of the
lease at the time of the sale and
what you received for it. In deter
mining the value of the lease at the
time of sale you can take into &C
count the time it had to run anc
the value of the renewal clause Il
the lease contained one. The profit
you were making on the lease at thu
time of the forced sale is. of course
a major factor in determining thu
value of the lease. It Is more diff
ficult to claim the present increased
value Of the lease as your loss par
ticularly if you have rot actual,
expended the increased price u
buy back the lease or to buy sim
liar lease. If you have not gon'
back into this hotel business it i
difficult to say that you have &C
.ually lost more than the value o
the lease at the time Of the force,
sale.

NEW YORK. N. Y. Dec. be
cause of the increasing shortsge Of
textile materials in Japa.i, and
sp'raling Of prices, CARE textile
packages are now being delivered in
Japan. it was announced today by
Paul Comfy French, executive direc-
tor Of CARE.
Orders win be accepted today, he
said. for the CARE wooden suitine
package, containing enough pure
wool fabric by the yard to make .
mans suit, or woman's coat. or
several garments for children; the
CARE blanket package, containing
two all-wool blankets, and the
CARE knitting wool package, con-
tanning 2iz pounds Of wool. Each
of these. and also the CARE Orien-
tai food package cost ten dollars,
with guarantee Of delivery.
CARE, having delivered six and
a half million food and textile pac-
kages In IS European countries dur
ing the past two and q half years,
extended its service to the Orient
in July. Individual orders, designa-
ted to relatives, friends or to NEEDY
families" are delivered In Japan by
the CARE Mission In Tokyo. Bulk
orders, for Is or more CARE par
GELS are accepted for Korea and
Okinawa, while negotiations are
now In progress to serve the Philip
pines.
"The need for the CARE textiles
In Japan" French said, ais shown
by the fact that . japanese fish
erman must turn In 1854 pounds
OF fish through regular ration
channels, In order to buy pair
Of CT trousers for himself at the
official price. For s92 pounds
more, he can get . shirt.
"The situation is complicated by
the fact that Japanese families
spend most Of their income on food,
just to keep themselves alive, and
are therefore unable to divert any
income to pay the exorbitant prices
of clothing.
THE CARE textile packages,
5000 Of which are. now ,stoclpiled
In our warehouses IN Japan, await
ing orders, will do a great deal to
relieve this situation for those fam !.
lilies who receive them"

ruled on by the Department of
Justice.
3. @. In 1913 1 made settle
ment Of 500 for I,000 worth Of
furniture which had been destroy
ed. signed the waiver Of further
claims against my tenant because
I felt 1t would be impossible to
return to the west coast for a
long period and there was no pos
sibility of pressing for more. Can I
recover the balance under the e.
vacuation claims law?
A. If your family leased your fur
niture at the time of evacuation
and made the settlement in 1943
because you thought that was the
best settlement that you could make
while you were an evacuee it ap-
pears that you have claim for the
difference between the amount you
received and the value of the fur
niture.
4. @. When claiming for house,
hold article, do you go by the pre-
sent price or the price at the time
we bought IL?
A. You do not state the nature OF
the household article involved or
whether you have actually replaced
it at its present price. The general
answer may be made, however, that
the Act provides for loss Of property
due to the evacuation At least in
the case of articles not replaced il
would seem that the loss was limi-
ted to the value Of the article at the
time of evacuation and that the
present increased value could moi
be claimed. In cases where par
ticular article has been replaced al
a higher cost 1t could be claimed
and argued that the replacement
cost should be considered in deter.
mining the amount of the loss.
