Before MARIS, GOODRICH and KALODNER, Circuit Judges. PER CURIAM.
This is an appeal by two stockholders of a predecessor corporation from an
order of the district court in a reorganization proceeding under Chapter X of the Bankruptcy Act, 11 U.S.C.A. 501 et seq., denying them the right to participate in a distribution of the debtor's assets.
