CONCERT FOR OLD
AND YOUNG

ONE of the first Lithuanian Con-
certs to be held in Cleveland at a
public hall for a good many years
has finally been arranged. The nice
thing about this concert is that
foreign-born and American-born will
both share the spotlight. This is
one of the reasons, Americans of
Lithuanian descent should make an
effort to attend.
On this well-arranged program, we
have Brute Smetoniene, an excel
lent pianist who performed through
out Europe before the war.
Another foreign-born singer of
popular acclaim in Europe is Sofia
Adomaitiene. This capable young
singer performed in various operas
in and around her native Lithuania.
Two talented young American-born
Lithuanian pianists are Miss Aldona
Thomas, daughter Of DR.. Thomas of
Cleveland and Miss Dorothy Zuris,
daughter of Mr.. P. J. Zuris of Lake
wood.
The only speaker on this program
will be Martin r. Laurinavicius, an
engineer, refugee from Lithuania
victim of World War ii, although
he is of American birth. He was a
first hand witness of the Soviet at
rocities committed in Lithuania. Mr.
Laurinacicius will give short talk
on conditions as they were then
and the way his friends still cover
there" write to him they are now

very moment, and they, together
with those who will keep on fight
ing until they attain their freedom
or perish in the attempt, say to
the world:
The Lithuanian nation, heroical-
ly fighting for it's existence and
for its freedom, appeals to the con-
science of the world, pleading that
voice of protest be raised against
the cruel process of physical and
spiritual annihilation of the nation.
The blood of partisans and the tears
of their women are a black spot
on the fossilized Atlantic Charter
and on the other beautiful and elo-
quent declarations of justice. There
is no road back for Lithuanians and
they do not seek one. They will
either perish from the terrible hand
of the NKVD, die in far Siberia OF
by the Arctic Sea, to the greatest
shame of the whole world, or else
they will be victorious. The Lith-
uanian nation will never waver ir
it's determination and will not bow
before the plans of the Kremlin, nc
matter in what beautiful phrases
they may be couched. The Lith
uanian nation prays that the ter
rors of this struggle and the hor'
rors of the injuries committed
against it by Bolshevism be exposed
to the opinion of the world and thai
the freedom of Lithuania be res
tored."

LITHUANIA VICTIM OF AGGRESSION
KIWANlANS TOLD
Plight of Country Cited by Consul at Chicago Office

reprint from The Elmhurst Press)
"Lithuania is victim of Nazi-
Soviet conspiracy and aggression
- victim of non-feasance OF we'll
meaning leaders of demdcracies," the
Elmhurst Kiwanis Club was told on
Tuesday at it's meeting at the Green
house restaurant by Petras Dau-
zardis, consul of Lithuania at Chi
cago.
"Rights Violated"
"The plight of Lithuania can be
compared with that of kidnapped
person." he said. "Lithuania's rights
have been violated and her govern
mental functions usurped by an
aggressive and imperialistic neigh
Dor.
"Lithuania has been occupied and
is dominated by. Soviet Russian
force and violence. During the first
occupation, lasting from June, 1910,
to June 1941, Lithuania lost more
than $4,000 people in slain and de-
ported to Russia.
100000 Lost
During the second-the Nazi-
occupation lasting from June, 1941,
until Oct. 1914, Lithuania's loss was
more than 100000 people, killed or
removed to Germany.
adding over 100000 refugees to
this figure, Lithuania was deprived
of more than 100000 of her people.
The third and present occupation
by Russia has already cost Lithuan-
MIA more than 100000 people, liqui-
dated and carted away to the very
depths Of Russia.
"The deportations continue -
from two to three thousand persons
are shipped out of Lithuania every
month. The occupants have come
to the conclusion that at least 7C
per cent of the Lithuania popula.
ton is undigestable by them, sc
they determined to reduce the Lith'
uanian population to such a degree
that it would become a minority ir
it's own country.
Conditions Appalling"
Economic, social, political ano
cultural conditions in Lithuania are
appalling. Two bloody and devas.
tating Soviet-Nazi engagements in
Lithuania and six years of foreign
armed occupation caused Lithuania
severe damages exceeding three bill
lion dollars. Farms, industries and
business enterprises have been ma
tionalized by the occupant.
"The state has become the own
er of all real property, without
any compensation to the private
owners.
Human rights and fundamental
freedoms are non-existent in Lith.
uania and in the other two Baltic
states. The people are treated there
as they were in the notorious slave
labor camps of Hitler and TOTO.
"Calls for Action
"The situation in the Baltic
states calls for action by all those
who believe in freedom, in right
and justice. 1t affects not only the
victims of aggression and injus-
tice, but the world of decency and
moral responsibility.
"Tens of thousands of youth of
Lithuania are engaged in Iive or
die warfare with the occupant.
Many thousands of them have al
ready given their lives. Many of
them are losing their lives this

It is Baseball Commissioner Chan
dler's Iron Curtain"
1t was rolled down week or 30
ago when that Bluegrass Balladeer
was not content with throwing lust
the book at Leo Durocher, but let
the Brooklyn manager have the
entire library, including the librarian
and the scrubwoman.
Rams Gags Down Throats.
After banishing Durocher from
baseball for a year, and roundly
chastising Larry MacPhail and
others, Uncle, Joe" Chandler drop
ped the Iron Curtain" He ordered
all concerned to keep their mouths
shut about the whole thing, and to
hold their peace and tongues forever.
In short, he rammed gags down
their throats of the same size and
texture that have been standard
equipment in totalitarian nations for
many years. I don't know where
the baseball commissioner got his
gags, but it could be that an Army
friend found them while shopping
in the medicine chest of Adolf
Hitler's Berlin bunker retreat.
That I will be in danger while at
tempting to get behind the Iron
Curtain" goes without saying. It is
rea sonable to assume that Uncle
Joe" Chandler, having slapped the
silencer on Durocher, MacPhail and
the others, will do his best to see to
1t that they don't talk. I imagine
that Elite Guards from the commits
sioner's Office will trail them day and
night, keeping ears and eyes to key
holes "a neat trick, always ready
to put the slug on them with a
sawed-off Louisville slugger.
haven't decided on what dis
guise I will use on my mission.
The chances are that I will use
several, switching them while the
Commissioners Gestapo begins to
suspect me. Being as "Uncle Joe'
Chandler was a politician for so
many years, may choose to dis
guise myself as vote for the first
few weeks. Politicians have weak
ness for votes, and I probably
wouldn't be challenged. A disguise
making me look like a fat salary
check wouldn't be bad, either. After
living on a Senator's salary for so
many years, the Commissions
probably takes kindly to a substan-
tial chunk Of the old do-re-mi.
Bit Old for Mission.
I am a bit old for a hazardous
mission Of this sort, but I believe it
must be done. There is no use talk
ing about free speech, and fighting
for free speech, and then allowing
it to be curtailed by a man sitting
behind desk in Cincinnati, or
wherever it is that the Commits
|sioner has his Kremlin.
The muzzle that Uncle Joe"
Chandler put on the men he pena-
lized Is un-American as caviar for
breakfast. And he put the muzzle
on a sport which, more than any
other, makes all Americans equal,
whether they SIT in bleachers or box
seats. esys -
I will let you know when I start
out on my mission, but please keep
it to yourselves. I don't want one

the Veterans of Foreign Wars. she
walks bravely in to meet the Presi-
dent of the United States. Six
years old, she has the honor of
selling to the President the first
Buddy Poppy of the 1947 Buddy
Poppy Sale. And the President has
the honor of buying it. The rest
OF us cannot buy Buddy Poppies
until the week Of Memorial Day.
Adds Up to Relief Fund.
Buying Buddy Poppies is how we
prove our gratitude to the boys
who won the war for us. Nothing
is too good for those boys. We
give dime, or even a dollar, for
a Buddy Poppy and the dimes and
dollars add up to a relief fund to
help the boys or their families, in
the case of the boys who didn't
como home.
~ Some of the money goes to the
National Home for Widows and
Orphans Of Ex-Service Men. That's
the home Of the little girl who called
on the President. She lives there
with her three sisters, her brother
and her mother. Her father was in
the infantry. He was killed during
the fighting In Europe.

ga, It Isn't Different Yet.
That program having been pretty
thoroughly demolished, there was
still the prospect Of a long-range
general housing program, from
which veterans could hope to obtain
some benefit. Under the name of
the Wagner -Ellender-T bill it was
passed with enthusiasm by the
Senate last year, only to be
smothered to death in a House COM
mittee. Nobody was against it but
the real estate interests, but that
was enough. $50. .+,4~~ .......
This year, 1t was to be different,
but it hasn't been different yet. The
bill--renamed the. Taft -Ellender-
Wagner bill-has not come out of
the Senate committee and It is said
the committee won't take up its con-
sideration before the middle of May.
It. doesn't require an expert in such
matters to recognize that the situa-
ton Of the bill is precarious. Wig
