Magnetic susceptibility results for single crystals of the new cubic compounds UTAl (T=Mn, V, and Mo) are reported. Magnetization, specific heat, resistivity, and neutron diffraction results for a single crystal and neutron diffraction and inelastic spectra for a powder sample are reported for UMnAl. For T = V and Mo, temperature independent Pauli paramagnetism is observed. For UMnAl, a ferromagnetic transition is observed in the magnetic susceptibility at = 20 K. The specific heat anomaly at is very weak while no anomaly in the resistivity is seen at . We discuss two possible origins for this behavior of UMnAl: moderately small moment itinerant ferromagnetism, or induced local moment ferromagnetism.
