Minister Says Americas
Support Is His Peoples
Greatest Encouragement

The Lithuanian Minister, Pavilas
Zadeikis. in a statement to the
State Department today asked for
American assistance ito thousands
of Lithuanian nationals deported
by the Soviet government into the
interior of Russia" since the Rus
sian seizure of Lithuania, Latvia
and Estonia year ago.
The friendly attitude of the
American Government and the
American people is the greatest
source of moral support and en-
couragement for the Lithuanian
nation in these trying times, when
Lithuanian soil has become
battlefield for Germany and Rus
sia," the Minister said.
He added that any help for the
deported Lithuanians would be
profoundly appreciated by the
Lithuanian government and the
Lithuanian people
The problem of American-Lithu-
anian relations has been complicated
by the administrations new policy
of assisting Russia, whose seizure
of the Baltic republics was de-
nounced in unusually vigorous Ian
guage last July by Acting Secretary
of State Welles. The United States
has never recognized the change In
Lithuanian sovereignty from in
dependent republic to part of the
u. S. S. r.
The Lithuanian nation insists
on it's inalienable right to complete
sovereignty and independence" the
Minister told the State Department.
The country 'is determined to fight
for and defend these sacred rights
with all means at its disposal, no
matter who the new invader may be
and regardless of administrative
qualifications of new puppet

Maryland Lawyer Urges
Stote-Sponsored Bar
BY the Associated Press


ATLANTIC CITY. N. j., June 2s
The Maryland Bar Association
was urged yesterday to seek forma-
tion of a State-SponSored 'inte-
grated bar" organization to which
all Maryland lawyers would be re-
quired by law to belong.
Horace F. Whitworth, Western
port (Md) lawyer, made the pro-
posal, asserting voluntary" bar as
sociations were often controlled by
cliques" and lacked sufficient men,
bership to maintain proper disci-
pline in the profession.
Under an integrated bar" said
Mr.. Whitworth, the 2,600 lawyers
in Maryland would be forced to be-
long to the State bar. Compare this
with the present membership of 686
in our voluntary State Bar Associa-
ton"
