of an alternate flying field for

make the same mistake which
was made after World War !.
The Senator made his state
ment while testifying before a
Senate judiciary subcommittee
in behalf of his own bill to use
the alien funds to provide edu-
cational scholarships for the
children of American veterans.
He told the committee that
three groups of prominent
Americans" are hired solely and
exclusively for the purpose of
obtaining the return of the alien
property and he identified them
as:
The law firm of GinSburg,
Leventhal and Brown. the law
firm of Boykin and DeFrancis
and the public relations firm of
Julius Klein and Associates.
Respective Fees Listed
Senator Smathers said the
Ginsburg firm is receiving a re-
tainer of $4,000 and a contin-
gency to be based on the value
of properties later returned to
members of the organization it
represents.
He said the Boykin firm re-
ceives fees of more than $685.

II, the 5000 million in enemy
assets vested by the United
States"
No Wrongs" Alleged
Senator Smathers said he
pointed up this situation not for
the purpose of implying that
any wrongs have been done, but
to "show that the pattern is
one similar to that used in World
War and one which. though
partially garbled in the free
press, is not fully unfolded."
II bring these facts to the
attention Of this committee" he
continued, "for the purpose of
pointing out that a situation
appears to be developing which
I believe is one that warrants
"a stop and let's look and see
to make definitely sure
that we in the Congress are not
being again misled to the detri-
ment of the American tax
payer"
Senator Smathers emphasized
that the enemy properties under
discussion constitute the only
payment or offer of payment
either Germany or Japan have
have or suggested to reimburse
America for the tremendous
losses suffered in World War II.
He noted that the United States
waived reparation claims and
commended the property legally
belongs to this Government by
agreement between the coun-
tries.
COnfiscatiOn Denied
Under questioning by Chair
man Johnston of South Caro-
lima. he denied that the alien
assets are "confiscated." In
objecting to various proposals
/ for the return of the assets, he
declared that the cost of such
transactions alone would ap-
lproximate 81 billion. and he
asserted the American taxpayers
should not be saddled with that
additional burden.
In a statement read to the
committee. Senator Capehart.
Republican Of Indiana, opposed
the Smathers proposal and in
ldorsed the principal of returning
the funds. He described it as a
diversion" and said 'eonfisca-
ton is the attribute of COM
