April 9 Dead|ine
Nears on Filing Claim
As Oppressed POW

Time is running out for some
$4,000 American prisoners Of
World War II or their survivors
to file claims for compensation
from a $40 million fund set up
for their benefit.
The sum has been made avail
able. through the liquidation of
enemy property seized during
the war, to pay all military .pris-
oners $3.50 for every day they
we're inhumanely treated or
forced to work against their
wishes.
The deadline of next April 9
was established when the bill to
authorize the payments passed
Congress last April 9, the 10th
anniversary of the fall of Cor
regidor.
officials of the War Claims
Commission have no way of es-
timating how many of the $4,000
former prisoners or their heirs
who have failed to file can
qualify under the abuse clause.
Most Can Qualify.
Enough information has been
assembled by the commission,
however, to establish the fact
that the great majority of pris-
oners can qualify. Only a rela-
lively few claims have been re-
jected on the ground that the
prisoners were well-treated dur
ing their captivity.
More than $4,000 service men
and women were held in enemy
prisons during the war. OF
these, more than 10000 died in
captivity. Heirs of the latter
men, or of those who died after
the war. are eligible for the pay
mentS.
Senator Beall, Republican. of
Maryland, emphasized, in a
statement yesterday, that all
claims must be filed by mid
night April 9, and all forms
should be mailed directly to the
War Claims Commission here.
Where to Get Forms.
These forms can be obtained
through the commission. regional
Offices of the Veterans Admins
tration, State veterans agencies,
veterans organizations and the
Red Cross.
It is believed that most Of
the $4,000 who have failed to
file are heirs without exact
knowledge of conditions under
which the prisoners served.
The commission, however, has
the names, dates and places of
Imprisonment, along with con-
siderable information on condi-
lions in the various prisons.
So far, $4,000 claims have
been filed. These are being pro-
cessed as rapidly as possible.
More than $4,000 claims already
have been paid. and the ma
jority of those remaining will be
approved. a commission spokes-
man said.
The money was set aside from
sums realized by the Alien
Property Custodian. The COM
pensation will be in addition to
the regular pay and allowances
received by prisoners after their
release.

Creation Of a 12-man COM
mission to search for solutions
to the traffic. highway, bridge
and mass transportation prob
lens of this metropolitan area
was proposed today by Repre-
sentative Broyhill. Republican.
of Virginia.
Under his bill the Hoover
Commission type Of study group
would submit its findings to the
President. who would make rec
concentrations to Congress.
Would Consider Authority.
In addition to bridge, highway
and traffic questions. the pro-
posed commission also would be
directed to consider establish
ment Of a regional commission
to regulate public transportation
facilities between the District
and Arlington, Fairfax. Mont
gomery and Prince Georges
Counties. Nearby Maryland and
Virginia and the District would
have representatives on the COM
mission.
In a plea that this area be
lifted out of the horse-and-b buggy
methods Of dealing with the
traffic problems, Mr.. Broyhill
said ''it is high time that we
realize that the metropolitan
area Is not composed of isolated
communities, that we are de-
pendent upon one another.
See Danger in Bottlenecks.
"There are bottlenecks imped-
ing the orderly flow of traffic in
and out of the Capital, especi-
ally during rush hours. In times
of crisis, as in war times, it
would be impossible to evacuate
Washington without a tremen-
dous loss Of life and limb" he
said.
He protested transit companies
operate Independently, do not
provide transfer privileges and
are subject to regulation by
three separate commissions. A
single regional commission, he
contended, could coordinate and
improve service.
