Action OverLicenses
 Move Made To Void
 Recent Permits

Voiding of an antique shop license and a repair shop permit involving neighboring premises in Southbury is sought by Charlotte P and Ed ward F. Ryan of Southbury in an appeal filed in Common Pleas Court today from the zoning Board of Appeals of the Town of Southbury..
 The plaintiffs claim a zoning or dinance amendment adopted April II, under which the permits were issued, is illegal and that the appli- cations for the permits should have been denied.
 Permission. to operate the antique shop was given Marguerite L. Croucher, under an application dat ed April IT, and the repair shop H. cense was given to William J.
 Holmes and William Jones Holmes, who asked on April Is for permis- sion to operate an automobile, farm machinery, and general repair shop. Both licenses were issued May 10.
 The plaintiffs claim the zoning lamendment does not contain any rule or standards to guide or re- strain the exercise of power dele gated to the Zoning Board of Ap- peals. No comprehensive plan is prescribed and no assurance for uniformity of operations is given by the amendment, the complaint states. Discretion imposed by the amendment is so wide that it is un- definable, the plaintiffs state in claiming that the amendment is un- constitutional and void.

Speakers Disagree on Lithu0nia s Plight
 Two Refugees, Consulate .Attache
 Dispute Statements Made by Pro-
 Soviet Editor; Much Suffering Evident

Two Lithuanian refugees ana an attache of the Lithuanian consulate in New York City told a gathering of over 300 persons in Nemunas Hall last night of the plight of displaced Lithuanians, and disputed claims made earlier in the day by Anthony Bimba, editor of a pro-Soviet Lith- uanian newspaper, that conditions in Lithuania were favorable.
 An lnscheduled address was given before the packed audience by Kos tas Klybas, young Lithuanian stu dent who arrived in this country three days ago after a long-drawn out flight from his native Lithuania.
 Other speakers were Anicetas Si- mutis, consulate attache, and George Savaitis, a former teacher in Lith- ua1lia who was forced into a Ger man Labor Army during the war.
 Relates Experiences
 Klybas, who was invited to the meeting by Alexander J. Aleksis president of the Lithuanian-Am Amer ican Council, after word of his ar- rival reached here, told of his own experiences in his escape from his subjugated native land, and de- scribed conditions at the time he left.
 The youthful speaker, whose ap- pearance disclosed the strain of his flight, told of the Mass transporta- ton of Lithuanians from their homes to Siberia, and of hardshipS undergone by the displaced persons who were separated from their fam lilies and were without any money or possessions.
 Klybas denied a claim made by Bimba, at an afternoon gathering at Venta Hall, that the displaced Lithuanians were criminals, and pointed to the vastneSs of the dis placement. He denied that condi- tions in Lithuania were satisfactory or that Lithuanians were now we'll fed and clothed.
 Hopes For Free Lithuania
 The youthful student, who decried the treatment received by his coun- trymen, expressed the hope that every displaced Lithuanian may one day go back to a free and in- dependent Lithuania."
 MT. Savaitis pointed out that the United Nations Relief and Rehabil- itation Administration had done ex- tensive work to aid the displaced Lithuanians, and that only through that aid were conditions rendered "bearable."
 MT. Simutis told of the need for more aid to LithuanianS in Europe and described the work done by the United Lithuanian Relief Fund oi America.
 Savaitis, who was editor of a De- riodical on displaced persons in Swe- den, escaped from the German La. bor Army during the war and made his way to Denmark and then Swe. den. He arrived in this countr, three months ago.
 Musical Features
 The meeting was arranged by the Lithuanian-American Council. 4

White House Exploring Lobor Peace
 RoiI Negotiations
 Expected to Resume
 In Washington

The government put on pressure today for settlement of the railroad dispute before the Thursday strike deadline, but peace in the coal mine controversy appeared as distant as ever.
 With two paralyzlng waIkOuts still threatening, the nation was
 suffering the worst case of
 strike-nerves in its history. The
 railroad strike, which would
 cripple the cOuntry's economy
 within a short time, was post
 pOned at the last minute Satur-
 day at President Truman's re-
 quest.
 However, if no settlement is reached by Thursday, engineers and trainmen will walk out, crippling the nations rail network. The coal mine strike is scheduled to resume a. midnight Saturday after a two week truce which has produced lit- tie progress toward agreement.
 MT. Truman had gone to Lib-
 erty, Mo-, to receive an honorary degree, but before he left he re-
 portedly discussed the coal dis
 pute with q representative of the mine operators, and ar
 ranged for conferences in the
 rail dispute.
 Government conciliators were hopeful of renewing direct negotia-' tions in the railroad crisis today. A, F. Whitney, president of the Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen, and Alvanley Johnston, president of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers, returned to Washington for further conferences after post poning the strike from their Cleve- land headquarters.
 They conferred for more than
 an hour with Dr. John R.
 SteeIman, special presidential
 assistant. SteeIman and Re-
 conversion Director John w.
 Snyder then conferred with
 representatives of the railroads.
 White House aides said the
 talks were exploratory" It was
 believed they were held prelim-
 mary to resuming negotiations
 between the disputants today.
 President Truman had said Sat- urday that he was confident prog fess could be made toward settle ment, but he did not disclose the basis for his confidence. However, :t was believed he would support the unions in their demand for lib- eralization of working rules.
 In the coal mine dispute,
 opinion was divided on whether
 Mir. Truman would order seizure
 of the coal mines as he did the
 railroads. One government off
 cial predicted the 5000 bitumi-
 nous mines would be seized by
 midweek. Other administration
 sources. however. disagreed.
 They still hoped that negotia-
 tiOns could be resumed.
 A reliable informant said the President conferred shortly before leaving for Kansas with Charles O'Neill, of the mine owners nego- tiation committee. The same source believed President l.. Lewis of the AFL. United Mine Workers also had met separately with MT. Tru- man, but neither Lewis nor O'Neill would comment.
 No developments were anticipated within the next day or two.
