Having excluded the government's evidence of the atrocities at Kedainiai to the extent that the evidence implicated petitioner, the court found that the government had failed to prove by clear and convincing evidence that petitioner had participated in those atrocities (id. at 122a-123a).
At a minimum, it is clear that an investigation might have shown that petitioner was involved in the atrocities at Kedainiai in July and August of 1941.
The fact that petitioner continues to insist that he left Kedainiai prior to the atrocities, in the face of overwhelming evidence to the contrary, suggests that he has something of grave importance to hide concerning his activities in Kedainiai during July and August 1941.

 Locational Aspects of the Chemical Industry in Lithuania: 1960-1970 - Augustine Idzelis
From an ideological framework, it provides the rationale explaining the participation of a Union republic or economic region in the territorial division of labor; on a more operational level, it emphasizes the necessity to develop the most favorable conditions and resources within a given area.
Within the framework of the Soviet industrial location theory, it is obvious that, the chemical industry could not have been developed as a specialized sector of the economy of Lithuania as has been the case with the machine tool and metal fabricating industry.
The rapid growth of the natural gas industry in the Soviet Union, together with the expansion of its distribution network, has made it possible to locate nitrogen fertilizer plants in agricultural regions such as Lithuania, where the demand for chemical fertilizer is great.

The Third Circuit declined to pass on the United States' submission that the first asserted ground (participation in the Kedainiai atrocities) was wrongfully rejected because of error in failing to admit unqualifiedly the Soviet-source depositions.
It reversed, however, the District Court's rejection of the second ground, concluding that Kungy's willful misrepresentation of the date and place of his birth in connection with his applications for visa and naturalization (which was no longer disputed), was material for purposes of the "concealment or misrepresentation" provision of 1451(a).
In addition in his application for a visa [petitioner] failed to disclose (and therefore concealed) his presence in Kedainiai during the 1940-42 period and he failed to disclose (and therefore concealed) that he had been a bookkeeper-clerk in the Kaunas brush and broom establishment during the 1941-44 period.
