.Claims by railroad companies and oth- ‘

Government may be arranged eitheri

The claims resulting from death or in-
ljury will be paid immediately upon ap-
proval by the President. ‘
The Federal Claims Commission will ’
cease receiving claims any time when

has been presented. beingdissolved
when it finishes consideration of cases
already filed. Claims not acted upon
may be preseand to the Treasury De-
partment if the claimant chooses the
