Dear Editor:
Your cooperation in the March
Of Dimes was strong factor in
the support Of the campaign for
funds. The Negro press did q
magnificent job in helping the
National Foundation tell its story
TO the American people.
The need for funds was great
er than ever before and you
made stronger appeal for funds
than ever before. 1t is my priv
ilege to express the gratitude
of the National Foundation and
its chapters for your continued
support.
II is hoped that 1850 will be
comparatively light polio year
for there is great need to build
up reserves which were depleted
by two successive record break
ing years.
However. should there be a
high incidence in 1850 the Amer
lean people can thank the press
for It's support Of the March OF

Jap War Criminals Denied
Appeal Here in Pauper Suit

The United States Court Of
Appeals today refused to permit
seven Japanese nationals, convict
ed of war crimes, to undertake
appeals in that court in pauper
proceedings.
Judge Charles Fahy ruled that
under a recent Supreme Court
decision the seven, all of whom
face long Imprisonment terms, are
not entitled to such pauper's rights
because they are citizens of an
other nation.
The ruling. however. does not
bar the appellants from prosecut-
ing their appeal here. If they are
able, with the aid of their lawyer.
Simon j. Nash, to get together
sufficient funds to meet court costs
they may go ahead with their plea
to set aside District Court ruling
which held it lacked Jurisdiction
to hear the appeal from their war
crimes convictions from military
commissions in Japan.
The appellants are now confined
in japanese prisons in custody Of
the United States military.
In the absence of his clients
presence in the United States,
Attorney Nash sought to obtain
the paupers' privileges by setting
himself up as an appellant rather
than merely as attorney for the
seven Japs.
The appeals court refused to
recognize this arrangement, how
ever.

II Pct. Above 1949,
Set July Record
By Edward c. Stone

July bank clearings in Wash

high mark for that month. Clear
ings totaled $378,833.438 against
1913, ,135, ,645 in July a year ago.
a gain of $65 5,697,793 or 81 per
cent.
Clearings in the first seven
months of this year reached the
unprecedented total of $2.581 ,529,-
899 in comparison with $2,191,-
All, 900 in the like 1949 period,
George H. Bright, manager of the
Clearing House Association re-
ported.
This was a sharp advance of
$500, 1885 or a gain of 18 per
cent. Bankers said today that
striking increases in Cancelled
checks are due to the general
business boom the city is expert
encing. Clearings in the previ-
GUS month of $404. .943,997 were
the highest on record for any
month.
Clearings so far this year COM
pare as follows with the same
