The claim was originally filed by the American-Yugoslav electric Company, owner of 99.94 percent interest in a Yugoslav corporation, Novi Bad Electric Company, the property of which was damaged and nationalized or otherwise taken by the Government of Yugoslavia. The record shows that the American-Yugoslav Electric Company was dissolved on December 19, 1957, and that its assets including the claim for war damages in Yugoslavia were transferred to the International Public Service Corporation. The latter corporation was dissolved on February 19, 1958, and its assets including the claim for war damages in Yugoslavia were transferred to the three claimants herein, C.R. Breck, Louise N. Breck, and White Securities Corporation, who were the owners of all of the outstanding shares of stock issued by said corporation in the amount of 5,260 shares, 5279 shares and 10,989 shares, respectively.
Therefore, pursuant to the law codified at 22 U.S.C. 1626(c)(2), I find that C.R. Breck, Louise N.
