 Resolution Received
 Professor Aleksis has received word of the acknowledgement by Secretary of State Cordell Hull of receipt of resolution regarding Lithuanian struggle for independ- ence drawn up at Q convention of the federation in Hartford last month. The resolution gives a de- scription of the treatment given the Lithuanian people following both the Russian and German occupation of the Baltic state, and tells of the Lithuanians' desire for independ- ence.
 One point stressed In the resolu- ton is that the uprising Of the Lithuanian people at the start of the German Russian conflict was not brought on by desire to help Ger many. The document states that the Lithuanians tried to proclaim to the world that their blood flowed for a free and independent LithuanIa, and not for the cominis- sars of the Reich" Condemnation is expressed toward the German exploitation of Lithuanian property as well as toward the brutal treat- ment by the Russians.

Protest Voiced By Independents On Sign Removal

Independent Democrats today continued to protest against hav- ing been forced to remove a cam- paign sign from the building ct 67-S5 East Main street where they have established headquarters. They claimed a political motive was behind the order.
 John M. Fitzgerald, building superintendent, said the sign had been removed because no pern1is- sion to hang 1t had been given. He is employed by Mrs. Ellen Hayes, mother of former Mayor Frank Hayes. Mrs. Hayes owns the building.
 1t developed teddy that the In- dependents did not rent their headquarters from Mrs. Hayes or her agent, but had instead sub- let them from a tenant who holds a lease.
 The lare sign bore the words: 'VOte Yndependent-Be Independ- ent; Frank Wall for Mayor; Ind. Democratic Headquarters"
 The Independents hinted that Aldermanic President John s. M0nagan Dl, counsel for Mrs. Hayes, was linked with the order but MT. MOnagan said he knew nothing whatever about 1t.
