Application of James D. Hill for permission to appear before the Office of Alien Property in claims of Janis Zalcmanis et al.

The document discusses the conflict-of-interest regulations regarding former government employees representing others before the Office of Alien Property (OAP). It compares the regulations under 8 CFR 505.60 and 18 U.S.C. 207(a), concluding that 505.60 remains in force and may be utilized to determine eligibility for representation. The document also addresses the specific case of James D. Hill's application to represent others before OAP, ultimately agreeing with the conclusion that he is ineligible to handle the present Zalcmenis tax refund claims. The questions presented for review include the validity and applicability of the conflict-of-interest regulations, as well as the determination of eligibility for representation based on the former employee's actions while in government service.
