special accounts and the prohibition of transfers of interests in such special accounts.
(2) Any special account established pursuant to such Regulations shall hereafter be
deemed not to be a blocked account as that term is defined in General Ruling No. 4, and

other authorization of the Alien Property Custodian may be effected in the same manner

fers of credit may be made to any such special account pursuant to such Regulations with­
