grueling experiences during . year
of Russian occupation and three
years under German rule in Lith-
uania.
TT is difficult to say which was
worse-the Red or the Brown die
tators. But maybe the Red was
little worse-if some one was de-
ported to Germany he could be
found again, but any one who Is
deported to Siberia-he can never
be found"
He never heard what happened to
his brother Michael, who was de-
ported to Siberia by the Russians in
1941. His 20-year-old daughter died
of starvation under German oppres-
sion.
He himself, however. shows little
sign of his experience in German
camp. He and his son were lberat-
ed on May 2, 1945, when American
troops reached the Elbe River. He

lift pre-strike embargoes on perish

that the city faced lone Of the worst

already rising.
In the st. Louis area alone, the
Chamber Of Commerce estimated
that a strike would cause layoffs
Of between 100000 and $4,000. In
Detroit, auto industry leaders said
plants throughout Michigan would
be closed lin a matter of q few
days. in event Of a strike.
The spelling Of millions Of dol
lars worth Of produce and other
crops was threatened by the strike.
That situation would pose prob
lem for the housewives who do the
shopping for food and meat.
From the Nations principal cities
came reports Of plans in event of
a walkout. Airline companies across
the country prepared for inaugural
ing extra flights to handle the over
flow of passengers and extra cargo.
Bus companies readied all available
equipment to meet the expected

unsettled dispute. Some of the
rail union leaders not involved In
the strike threat said the best thing
the Government could do would be
to seize and then work out its own
agreement with the unions.
On this score, there was a posi-
bility that If the seizure occurs Mr..
Truman might call back a fact

E. Leiserson to clarity" its recent

The board recommended a 1871
cent hourly pay boost for the three
unions involved. That was the
same pay raise accepted last fall
by II other rail brotherhoods, but
the three refused it as inadequate.
They are demanding a 30% wage
increase.
Rule Changes Proposed.
A number Of proposed changes
in rail operating rules desired by
the three brotherhoods were dis
cussed in Mr.. Leiserson's report.
These included ID time-and-a-
half pay for workers for Sunday

It was indicated that these or

trimmed accounts or held aloof to
await the outcome Of negotiations
in the threatened railway strike
which, II it happens, would hit vir-

Offerings also were attributed to
the belief the lengthy market up
swing had rendered the list techni.
cally vulnerable.
A few thin" rails and special in
dustrials made good headway from
the start. The majority of recently
buoyant oils took a rest despite per-
sistent bullishness regarding this
group. Air transports were not par
ticularly responsive to the move Of
the Civil Aeronautics Board to
boost aviation mail pay.
Dealings were moderately active,
although slowing now and then.
While gains Of fractions to g. point
or more were we'll distributed near
the close, numerous minus signs
dotted the ticker tape. Transfers
for the two hours ran to around
500, 900 shares.

LAKE SUCCESS, May 8.-An
air Of pessimism and futility
prevailed today at United Ma
tions headquarters over failure
to solve the Palestine problem.
Delegates have less than one weel
to meet the crisis and no solution
is in sight. The British insist they
will give up their mandate rule al
midnight next Friday-leaving
government vacuum In the en-
battled Holy Land.
In . desperate effort to do some
thing to bridge the gap, q 12-nation
working group scheduled sessions
today. Emergency meetings may
continue through the week end. This
group has set up In the current
special Palestine sessS..op * the q. N
Assembly.
Hunt for Mayor Futile.
It was understood that intensified
efforts to find . neutral mayor for
Jerusalem-one step in an overall
peace program-so far have been
fruitless. Britain yesterday asked
the Assembly to help find . man
acceptable to the Jews and Arabs
when q search failed in Palestine
There were some hopes last night
that agreement might be reached
on a representative Of the American
Friends Service Committee. But a
high source said that nominee had
been unacceptable.
Arthur Creech Jones, British
Colonial Secretary, last night called
for q small, emergency U. N. agency
to carry on ordinary life in Palestine
after the British leave. Addressing
the 12-nation group. he rejected any
idea Of using force and said the
agency should have limited powers
The British plan thus would te-
pend on the Jews and Arabs to
agree to stop fighting.
Would Avoid Trusteeship.
"I'd get away completely from the
trusteeship idea" the Colonial Sec
retary told the committee in dis
cussing the American plan for q
U. N. interim trusteeship.
This apparently meant that
stepped-up talks between American
and British officials here have failed
to bring the two powers together
on 4 solution.
It was announced that Pablo
Azcarate Of the U. N. staff would 60
to Jerusalem Sunday to act as a
top U. N. oficial for the truce

2. India appealed to the Security
Council not to 90 through with q
plan to send a U. N. commission to
the princely state Of Kashmir to
stop fighting and oversee plebi-
scite. The Indian delegate said such
a step only woald intensity feelings
between MosleIns and Hindus. The
United States was appointed a nth
member of the commission. which
includes Belgium, Colombia, Czecho-
