All accruing interest on such deposit during the time it shall be held in the United States Postal Savings System shall be paid to the person furnishing such sum. I n the event such alien becomes a public charge, the Attorney General shall dispose of such deposit in the same manner as if it had been collected under a bond as provided in this section. I n the event of the permanent departure from the United States, the naturalization, or the death of such alien, such sum shall be returned to the person by whom furnished, or to his legal representatives.
