The War Claims Commission is
holding several million dollars which
belong to 30,000 American veterans
who were held prisoners by the enemy
during World War II. The veterans
who are eligible can get this money,
or it will be paid to their widows and !
children, or if the veteran was un-
married, to his parents. Figured at
the rate of $1.50 per day for com-
pulsory labor or inhumane treatment
while they were prisoners of the
enemy, these 30,000 cases are entitled
to sums varying from $700 to $1,200
each. If you are a former prisoner I
of war or are the surviving parent or j
dependent of such a veteran, file a
claim with the War Claims Commis
sion, Washington, D.C. at once.
