Any assets heretofore or hereafter accruing to
the benefit of the Fund, other than money, but
including jewelry and other personal effects,
may be sold at the times and places and in the
manner prescribed by regulations issued by the

Fund by the Division of Disbursements, Treas-

retary’s representative by virtue of this sub-
chapter which, under regulations promulgated

scribed by regulations, or may be used for the

erly be made from the Fund, or if not usable,
otherwise disposed of in accordance wit
