| exemplary and popular farmers of
the districts, elementary schoo ol
teachers, thousands of former Gov
ernment employees. students, mer-
chants, craftsmen, families of work
ers. Even the poorest social stra-
tum, that of the manual laborers
and landless agricultural workers,
was not allowed to remain in peace.
Although the Communist Party
boasted that it was bringing free
dom, equality, and just distribution
of property, thousands were subjec-
ted to, and are still wearing, the
shackles of slavery and became the
first victims of the Red regime. In
this way, under the first Soviet oc-
cupation alone, Lithuania lost, in
cluding deportees and murdered vic
tins, about ninety-five thousand of
her nationals. Nobody could assay
the danger Of the moment and no
body felt secure for the future. The
intervening Bolshevik- German war,
fortunately stopped the heartless
activities of the Russians. The So
Wet of the Bolshevik comm i S :
sars of Lithuania had planned to
deport 100000 so-called "irreparable
enemies of the people" 1t is true
that when the Germans came, the
sufferings of the Lithuanian workers
did not come to an end Thousands
Of them trod the paths of slavery in
the Reich, where, under hail of
bombs, famished, and brutally treat
ed they were forced to do the hard
est labor or, at the least word of
opposition, were sent for "vaca-
ton" to the concentration camp.
From this brief summary Of the
first Bolshevik occupation it is clear
why we fled from Bolshevik-occupied
Lithuania, and why we never again
wish to see the Bolsheviks, even if
we should be obliged forever to for
sake everything we hold dear.
We, displaced Lithuanian crafts
men and workers, having organized
ourselves into a professional associa-
ton in Western Europe, publicizing
the black deeds of the Soviets to
brother Lithuanians overseas and to
the entire free world, wish to draw
attention to the disparity that exists
between the propaganda disemina-
ton by the Bolsheviks and their ac-
tions. The Bolsheviks say that they
are hand in hand with the workers
and with the people, and that only
in Bolshevism lies the salvation OF
the workers. We publicly protest
against this propaganda of lies. We
learn from the press and radio OF
the free world that the present 81
tuation in our homeland is perhaps
even more terrible than that of l9-
4O-41. The working man is forced
to be the slave of the Stalinist five
year plans and of the Bolshevik Par
ty. He is imprisoned, prosecuted,
deported, and murdered. Entire vii
lagos and towns in Lithuania are
being colonized by kolhoz-people all
from Russia, in whose wake come
poverty, famine, exile, and death to

LIE Lithuanian naClOn, consist
ing of more than three million far
mers and workers living by the
Baltic Sea, at all times desired
peace and free, independent life.
Alas, on many occasions that small
but beautiful and Industrious Lith-
uanian land has been the victim of
the imperialistic designs of it's great
neighbors. During the course of
the last terrible war it endured
three occupations. That war des-
troyed the entire political and eco
nomic structure of Lithuania. The
cruel occupants moreover, scatter
ed countless Lithuanians through
out foreign lands. The nation is
even now enduring occupation
We, displaced Lithuanian crafts
men and workers, who know from
what it means to live in the "red
paradise" ruled by the guns of the
NKVD, and because of our knowl-
edge prefer to endure the hard lot
Of refugee existence in Western
Europe, are grateful to the Ameri-
cans and the British for their care.
Although we have lost our homes
and our property, and many of us
have lost even our families, and al
though throughout the entire war
we endured the brutal oppression
Of the Bolsheviks and of the Nazis,
with deportations to Siberia or to
the Reich for forced labor, never
theless, we believe in the Twelve
Points of President Truman and
the fundamental human freedoms
proclaimed in the Atlantic Charter.
The victory of truth will sooner or
later brighten the faces marked
now by tears and hardship, and we
shall once again live as free men
in our free homeland.
While we await the pro m d
freedom that will make it possible
for US to return to an independent
Lithuania, we are endeavoring to
show by the work of our hands
and the exercise of our crafts, by
cultural and scientific activity, and
by the press, that Lithuania is
worthy Of being free nation among
free nations; we are trying to help
with our labor the armed forces of
the countries assisting US that we
may thereby speed as rapidly as
possible the decision on the case
of Lithuania's freedom.
Having an opportunity to follow
the press and radio Of the free
world, we hear and read accusa-
tions and insinuations against us
made from behind the Iron Curtain.
We evaluate with bitter smile the
reports emanating from there, usual
ly in the name of the workers, and
the propaganda about freedom, in
dustrial progress and equality. Dis
placed Lithuanian craftsmen and
workers recognize the shame e S
Bolshevik lies, the exploitation of
the human being and his reduction
to the status of slavery, for we have
experienced all this ourselves.
1t suffices to glance at the first
Bolshevik occupation of Lithuania

Russell Shook, long a suspect In the case, has confessed to the mur- der of Hubert Wilson, according to word received today from Ketchi- kan.
 Wilson's body was found several weeks ago, lying face down in the doorway of his cabin near Craig. His feet were out the door, and a box was over his head.
 Wilson apparently had been trap ping, but Investigating officers could find no furs or pocketbook
 Previous to Snook's confession, officers had determined that he had sold some marten skins.
 The coroners verdict had been that Wilson met his death hy gunshot wounds at the.hands of per sons unknown, sometime between November IT and November 30, in his shack on a floating fishtrap off Egg Island
 Shook is expected to be bound over to the grand jury which is called for January l2 in Ketchikan.

NEWS REVIEW
NEWS REVIEW
Slump Possible: Truman;
Cite Air Power Need

In this season of presidential re-
ports to the nation the alarm bells
were jangling for everything from
the state of the entire world to the
frayed condition of John Does back
pocket.
And through his 'Semi-Annual
Economic Report of the President,
Mr.. Truman sounded the gong omi-
nously on a new note: The impend-
ing peril of economic disaster in the
u. S.
The nations economy, he said. is
operating on borrowed time and in
hation-ridden Americans are oper-
ating on borrowed money in situa-
tion flirting with depression.
Millions of persons in the lower
income groups, his report pointed
out, now are keeping the initiation
carousel whirling by liquidating
their savings, reducing their current
savings and by extensive use of con-
sumer credit. >.
"Such use of savings for current
living expenses is an ominous sign
for the economy as a whole"
Without stopping to consider any
possible political aspects of the
Presidents economic report, Amer
leans could take it as sober. realis-
tic picture of what lies beneath the
relative luxury in which many OF
them are existing now.
Exhaustive and complete, the eco
nomic survey presented figures no
table in that they:
Showed for the first time that
i. real purchasing power" Of the
American masses-basic factor sup
porting u. S. economy-has declined
per cent since the first quarter of
1916, and that
- Millions of Americans are living
q. on their savings accounts and
borrowing money. Almost one-quar-
ter of all families and more than
one-half of families earning less
than $4,000 yearly "held no liquid
assets in 1947."
Then Mr.. Truman tied in these
facts with his administrations pro-
posed policy to beat the imitation
rap. If imitation, he said, is 'per-
mitted to run its own course, it will
break with destructive force"
And in order not to let it run its
own course the President again
urged adoption of his anti-infation
program-limited price and ration
controls.
That way, he indicated, lies a
new, greater economic era for the
U. S. embodying maximum employ
ment and solid and lasting pros
perity.
Arizona sun., 1948-01-30

serious danger of atomic attack will
exist"
On that premise the group recon-
mended that the government start
now to spend on the air force in 1948
1.3 billion dollars more than the 2.85
billion currently scheduled for this
calendar year, and that in 1949 the
total be raised still another 1.3 bill
lion dollars.
For actual air strength the COM
mission said that by 1912 the u. S.
should command a total of r. 10
first-line planes, plus more than
5000 held in reserve.
Although it was extremely un-
likely that the air policy commits
sion's recommendation would be
adopted in toto by this or any other
peacetime congress, the report put
realistic emphasis where emphasis
belonged. Everyone has been aware
that air power is mandatory if the
U. S. is to have any degree of ma
tional security in an era of feverish
atomic-bomb production, and the
commission has succeeded in put
ting that awareness on as factual a
basis as is possible now.
Arizona sun., 1948-01-30
OPEN CITY,:
Jerusalem

Since apparently nothing can stop
the quasi-civil war between Arabs
and Jews in Palestine, that coun-
try's harrassed government has
done the next best thing and re-
quested both factions to spare the
holy places of Jerusalem from any
depredations they might carry out.
The Palestine government asked
the Christian, Moslem and Jewish
religious communities to declare Je-
rusalem's ancient walled area an
"open city"
That plea couldn't stop the blood
shed but it could preserve the re-
hgious relics sacred to all three Of
the worlds main religions.
Meanwhile, transportation was
being made available to evacuate
any of the 1,500 Jews still living
under Arab siege inside the walls.
They are the remnants of 1900 nor
NAL residents of the area.
