MRS. MARIA M, Lithuanian
arrived in Sweden via Poland or
January %, 1913. Her home was
IN the neighborhood of Shiaulia
tShaulen), where her husband rac
been the district agronon1ist rn+i
the Germans deported him on thei,
retreat from Lithuania in 1914. Mrs
M. has had no news from him since
then. When the Russians re-occu.
pied Lithuania, they suspected al.
most everybody of having collaborat.
ed with the Germans. Mrs. M. soor
made the unpleasant acquaintance
OF the NKVD (or MVD), who re.
fused to believe that Mr.. M. had
been deported and insisted that he
was Nazi collaboration who was
now in hiding to escape rightful
punishment.
Neither the protestations of Mrs
NJ. nor the favorable testimony OF
neighbors was believed, and in Feb
1945 Mrs. was arrested as the wife
OF a bandit and deported to Med
vezhegorsk (Karhumaki) in Finn sl1
Carelia. Her fate was shared by
approximately 10000 PEOPLE of the
district of Shiauliai alone. Alto.
gether at least half million people
had been deported from Lithuania
in the last months of 1916. Very
few were properly charged and none
were told their destination but it
has subsequently transpired that all
have been taken to the Lenngrad
region, to Vorkuta in Northern Rus
sia and to Tashkent near the Cas-
plan sea.
63 cattle wagons with people, 80
70 persons in wagon, were taken
to Medvezhegorsk. Men predomi
mated among the deportees bat there
were also many women The ira n
with the deportees stopped in what
appeared to be an empty field with
a few sheds on it and small har-
rack for the armed guards. The
prisoners were told to get out, to
dump their bundles in the snow and
to line up at the sheds for picks
and shoveIs. Their work proved
to be the rebuilding of the canal
uniting the Arctic Sea with the
Baltic, which had been badly da-
mayed by the Germans during the
siege of Leningrad. No living quar-
ters were provided for them and
they had to camp in the snow un-
til they had built themselves bar
racks in their spare time, after
having worked for IL hours at the
canal. Many died from exposure.
Mrs. NJ believes that at least half
the people in her group were no
longer alive when she left in April,
1916; a number committed suicide.
The sick received no care what
ever at first, being left to await
the end lying in the snow, but by
the beginning of 1916 a small bar
'acks were set up to serve as a
hospital and Mrs. M. got job as
nurse after she had broken her
shoulder blade when lifting too
heavy load and the orderly at the
hospital had discovered that she had
first aid training.
New transports with prisoners ar
rived from time to time to rep ace
he dead ones. They were mostly
Ukrainians with a sentence of 20
years forced labor, but also soldiers
of the former Vlassov army who
were given from 10 to 25 years. A
lot were girls who had been deport-
ed by Germans to work in the Ger
man war industries. Their sentences
varied from six to ten years, to
make them fit to re-enter the So

Mr.. Jackson of California Mr..
Speaker, as was so ably pointed
out by the gentleman from Michigan
(Mr. Jonkman), today is the thir-
tieth anniversary of the independence
of Lithuania.
Mr.. Speaker, it is in some re-
spects day of sad remembrance
for the thousands of Lithuanian
Americans here in the United States
= men and women of industry, abb
lity and thrift. Their homeland
lies behind the iron curtain, and the
fate of their short lived Republic
has, for this short moment, at, least,
become the fate of the other lands
and peoples who have disappeared
into the limbo of totalitarianism.
However, this country does not
recognize the legitimacy of the new
Lithuanian regime, and rightfully
so. The sell-out of the Baltic Sta
tes to the ambition of Soviet con-
quest is sad blot upon the char
acter Of fair play, and to lend our
selves to recognition of force as
an instrumentality of international
negotiation would be to deny our
own national birthright.
Lithuania will live again, proud
ly and honorably, as member of
the family of nations. A present
despair will be crowned by even
tual liberation if all mem of good
will keep alive the flame of hope
and the dream of human dignity.
Hail, Lithuania.

NEW ROCHELLE, N. Y. May g.
Bobby Locke, who is the greatest
if not the only-golfer ever to come
out Of South Africa, is hitting each
shot even little crisper than usual
in the Goodall round robin tour
nament here.
Bobby is sore. He has been banned
from playing in the Professional
Golfers Association championship
this summer at st. Louis. Here In
the Goodall, he has IA of this coun-
try's top professionals to work on
and he holds a burning desire tc
demonstrate that he is papa.
Locke has become fast friends
with most of the top American pros
since he arrived here last year. But
he feels he has been given a fast
shuttle by George Schneiter, the
PGA tournament chairman.
Fires Blast at Schneiter.
He didn't hesitate to express his
feelings after he had shot his second
straight 50 over the par 70 course
in yesterdays second round Of the
Goodall event. This gave him q
plus" score OF %, only one behind
the leader, Herman Barron, OF White
Plains, N. Y.
The Goodall is played on a match
play basis. In each Of five rounds
each contestant plays hole-by hole
against the three other superstars
in his foursome.
"Schneiter has barred me from
the PGA championship" Locke said
because he says I have been over
here so long I no longer am . visi-
tor. The fact remains that I am
here on a visitors visa, which I can
get extended.
I'm tired Of this hanky- -panky.
I couldn't play in the PGA now II
they invited me, because I've booked
exhibitions during that time. But

.0f 10 Nominees for
Dixie Classic Today
BY The Assoeiaisd Press

BALTIMORE, May &c. D.
Jacobs Stymie and nine other
proven route runners were named
for todays 44th renewal Of the $685.
600 Dixie Handicap at Pimlico-
Stymie, the worlds leading money
winning thoroughbred, has picked
up $818,560 in 116 starts, but never
has won the Dixie classic.
The big red chestnut has some
terrific competition in today'S try
for the mile and three -sixteenths
Dixie.
Three other nominees, Ridgewood
Stables Double Jay and the Calu-
met Farm entry of Fervent and
Faultless, all have done pretty well
at picking up purses, too. Each
has won more than $200,000-and
there are only IL horses in training
which have hit that mark.
Stymie was assigned top weight
Of 127 pounds. Double Jay, who
beat Stymie earlier in the year,
was given a 124-pound impost. Fer
vent was assigned 121 and Fault
less lit.
The other good campaigners max
ing up the overnight field were
William Helis' Elpis, 118; King
Ranch's Contest, 110; Bayard
Sharp's Tide Rips, 10; J. H. Ham,
mond's Butler, 110; Christiana
Stables Service Pilot, 100, and Jo-
seph Tucci's Incline, 107.
A rainy spell has kept the racing
strip in anything from a slow to
sloppy condition since the meeting
started Monday. Pimlico racing
officials held little hope that the
Dixie horses would have fast foot
ing.
Post time is approximately SOS

Field for Preakness
May Shift as Result
|0fCoaItown'sEntry
lY the A.seeiafed Press

BALTIMORE, May g. Warren
Wright paid 5000 to enter pair
of horses in next Saturdays Freak
ness. He's figuring on getting his
money back-at about 1,750 per cent
interest.
Most horsemen figure he's f1gur-
ing correctly. The pair happens to
be Citation and Coaltown.
The news that the two top 3-year-
olds would renew their racing duel
in the great classic at Pimlico was
announced in Louisville yesterday
by General Manager Ben Jones OF
Wright's Calumet Farm.
Wright did not nominate either
horse for the Preakness before the
list closed. He posted $4,000 apiece
for two supplementary entries just
before the April Is deadline.
A one-two Calumet finish would
return $105,0 or better.
Citation, the Derby winner. was
shipped to Baltimore last Tuesday
Coaltown, the only horse who helped
Citation make the Derby Q race
was held in Louisville.
That was welcome news to many
owners, and there was talk of a
field of 10 or more Preakness start
ers. The $4,000 which Pimlico gives
to the second horse home In the
classic is not q bad pickup.
Now that Coaltown is entering
too, the whole complexion of the
probable field Is likely to change.
And the big question again will
be: Can Coaltown outlast Citation?
After leading the field most OF
the way, Coaltown was caught by
Citation and ended the mile and
a quarter test three and hall
lengths back OF his stablemate.
He won't have as far to run In
the Preakness-a mile and three
sixteenths route. Also, maybe the
racing strip at Pimlico won't be
sloppy from rains as Churchill
Downs was Derby Day.
His ability to cover lot of ground
in q hurry keeps . lot Of people
unconvinced that Citation h the
better horse.
Citations hackers point to past
performances.
The arguments started all over
again.

ton, Of Prince Georges Country Club

that Locke had the thing in hand
As they went into today's two
rounds, the score stood thus: Bar
ron, plus "a; Locke, plus %; Hamil-
ton, plus 20-and Locke against the
field. Ben Hogan was plus IL as
class made itself felt, and Lloyd
