1. The notice and petition shall be served upon the clerk of the court into which or into whose registry the fund or property has been paid or deposited or which has control or custody thereof, or which has jurisdiction to make orders for the payment of such money to the rightful owners thereof, together with a notice that no personal claim is made against him, and also upon the United States attorney for the district in which such court is located.
