But the grantor may be treated as the owner after the expiration of such period unless the power is relinquished.

SEC. 677. INCOME FOR BENEFIT OF GRANTOR.

(2) such person has previously partially released or otherwise modified such a power and after the release or modification retains such control as would, within the principles of sections 671 to 677, inclusive, subject a grantor of a trust to treatment as the owner thereof.
