That the Secretary

Albert P. Morell.

of the Treasury is authorized and directed upon receipt of the United States savings bonds of series E totaling $4,000 (face value), numbered D–32876574–E, D–30831656–E, M–30623497–E, M–30623498–E, and M–30623499–E, outstanding on the books of the Treasury Department, registered in the name of Nunziato Lalli, 610 North Washington Avenue, Scranton, Pennsylvania, payable on death to the Treasurer or the Treasury Department of the United States, or upon receipt of evidence satisfactory to him establishing their loss, together with evidence of the death of Nunziato Lalli, so that redemption of the bonds is effected, to apply the proceeds, or so much thereof as may be necessary, to pay not in excess of the sum of $954.67 to Albert P. Morell of Dunmore, Pennsylvania, to the extent judicially determined, or otherwise established to the satisfaction of the Secretary, in full settlement of his claims with respect to funeral and burial services rendered in connection with the funeral of the late Nunziato Lalli which were not paid due to the fact that the principal assets of the decedent consisted of the aforedescribed bonds, and were not, therefore, available for the payment of necessary and proper funeral and burial expenses. No part of the amount appropriated in this Act in excess of 10 per centum thereof shall be paid or delivered to or received by any agent or attorney on account of services rendered in connection with this claim, and the same shall be unlawful, any contract to the contrary notwithstanding. Any person violating the provisions of this Act shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor and upon conviction thereof shall be fined in any sum not exceeding $1,000.
