FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 20, 1953

UNITED STATES SENATE,

SUBCOMMITTEE ON THE TRADING WITH THE ENEMY ACT

OF THE COMMITTEE ON THE JUDICIARY,

Washington, D. C.

The subcommittee met at 10 a. m., pursuant to call, in room 424 of the Senate Office Building, Senator Everett M. Dirksen (chairman of the subcommittee) presiding.

Present: Senators Langer (chairman of the committee), Dirksen (chairman of the subcommittee), Hendrickson, and Smith.

Also present: John W. Nairn, counsel to the subcommittee, and William A. Kolar and Robert H. Hagan, investigators.

Senator DIRKSEN. The committee will come to order.

I should say by way of preliminary, Mr. Chairman, that we had a hearing in executive session the other day, that this is the second hearing in pursuance of the resolution adopted in the 82d Congress for an investigation of the activities and operations under the Trading With the Enemy Act. I stated then that there were 6 or 7 or 8 purposes outlined in the resolution:

One is to determine the efficiency of procedures for the prompt and equitable adjudication of claims under that act. This hearing has been set for the purpose of exploring further into the activities of the Claims Section particularly, and I should perhaps at this point observe that the work done by the predecessor committee from July 1952 until January 1953 at which time they developed a very formidable and very substantial report, alludes at considerable length to this question of handling and adjudication of claims. So we have this morning to first summarize for us in a way and to give us a statement, Mr. Paul V. Myron, Deputy Director of the Office of Alien Property, who can present his statement so that we will get just a little bit of foundation for the exploration we care to make.

Before you make your statement, Mr. Myron-and I will not swear you at the moment, I do not think that is necessary-let me ask you how long you have been Deputy Director of APC.

STATEMENT OF PAUL V. MYRON, DEPUTY DIRECTOR, OFFICE OF ALIEN PROPERTY, DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE (ACCOMPANIED BY JULIUS SCHLEZINGER, CHIEF, LEGAL AND LEGISLATIVE SECTION, OFFICE OF THE DIRECTOR)

Mr. MYRON. A little over 2 years.

Senator DIRKSEN. Were you in Government before?

Mr. MYRON. I have been in Government for 18 years.
