Chinese Assets of $100,000 or Over as of June 14, 1941
Reference is made to my memorandum of August 2, 1951 on the
above subject, attaching an IBM run entitled "Foreign Assets of
$100,000 or over, Located in United States, Owner Located in China,
from TFR-300 Reports". Since available records indicated that this
run was based upon final consolidated edited reports, no extended
examination was made of the individual reports upon which it was
based.
In connection with the work now being done for you on the as-
sets of Chinese nationals located in the United States, as reported
in the TFR-300 Census, the reports of certain Chinese nationals 10-
cated in China were reviewed. In most cases, a study of these re-
ports confirmed the accuracy of the figures included in the IBM run
of Chinese nationals in China. In two instances, however, correc-
tions should be made on the run as follows:
1. Delete $855,659 shown for Liang, Chang Heiao. This dupli-
cates the largest part of the $860,878 shown on the following line
for Liang, Chang H. The two entries were for the same person, but
the duplication was apparently not detected before the run was made.
2. On the line for Sze, Sao-Ke Alfred, substitute $84,865 for
the $223,789 shown. (of the $84,865, property amounting to $59,514
was held by Sao-Ke Alfred Sze as joint tenant with his wife, Alice
Tong Sze.) The $138,924 difference between the amount shown on the
IBM run and the corrected figure represents a custodian account in
the name of Mai-mai Sze (daughter) over which Mr. and Mrs. Sze held
power of attorney. This account on June 1, 1940 was held in the
names of Sao-Ke Alfred, Alice Tong and Deson Sze as joint tenants.
