The sentencing of four anti-Semites to five and a half years each for the murder of a Warsaw Jew in the course of an anti Jewish riot in June, 1934, was upheld yesterday by the Court of Appeals.

Three others of the eleven who had been sentenced last October, all of them members of the outlawed anti-Semitic National Racial Party, had sentences of two years each confirmed by the court. Four of the appellants won acquittal, sentences of one to two years being reversed.

The eleven Naras were convicted on October 9 of the murder of Jechezkiel Delman, 35, in a riot in the Powonski section of Warsaw. Eleven other Naras on trial for the same murder were acquitted.
