Predsednik Reagan se srečal z letošnjim predsednikom Jugoslavije Miko Špiljkom
WASHINGTON, D. C. — Preteklo sredo je imel predsednik Reagan sestanek z jugoslovanskim predsednikom Miko Špiljkom, ki je na delovnem obisku v ZDA. Srečanje je bilo prvo med ameriškim in jugoslovanskim predsednikom vse od 1. 1978, ko je takratni jugoslovanski predsednik Tito obiskal predsednika Jimmyja Carterja. Bilo je tudi prvi sestanek, ki ga je kdaj imel predsednik Reagan s kakim voditeljem komuni-stčne vlade.
V nagovoru po srečanju s Špiljkom je Reagan ponovil ameriško podporo za neodvisnost Jugoslavije. Priznal je, da so globoke razlike v gledanju obeh držav na razne pereče mednarodne probleme, da pa so odnosi med ZDA in ZSSR »dobri«. Dobesedno je Reagan dejal: »Združene države odločno podpirajo neodvisnost, enotnost in teritorialno integriteto Jugoslavije. Dalje, priznamo njeno politiko neuvrščenosti.« To stališče se ne razlikuje od stališč prejšnjih administracij, tako demokratskih kot republikanskih.
Reagan je govoril pohvalno tudi o prizadevanjih Jugoslavije, da bi redno odplačevala svoje mednarodne finančne dolgove. V kolikor moremo, je pripomnil Reagan, bodo ZDA pomagale.
Državnika sta govorila tudi o raznih mednarodnih problemih. Špiljak je povedal Reaganu, da želijo Sovjeti vrniti se k pogajanjem o omejevanju oboroževalne tekme, da pa morajo biti ZDA popustljivejše. Špiljak, ki upa na skorajšnje srečanje s sovjetskim voditeljem Jurijem V Andropovom, je rekel dalje, da je nedavno postavljanje ameriških Pershing H. in manevrirnih raket v raznih NATO državah škodovalo odnosom med ZDA in ZSSR. Sovjeti so bolj sumljivi do ZDA radi tega, je dejal Špiljak.
Reagan predložil osnutek zveznega proračuna za fiskalno leto 1985 zveznemu kongresu — Demokrati zelo kritični
WASHINGTON, D. C. — Preteklo sredo je predsednik Reagan predložil zveznemu kongresu osnutek zveznega proračuna za fiskalno leto 1985. Proračun predvideva skupne izdatke v znesku 925,5 milijarde dolarjev. Predviden primanjkljaj v proračunu je pa 180 milijard dolarjev.
Zakladni tajnik Donald T. Regan in načelnik zveznega proračuna David A. Stock-man sta priznala v izjavah, da je primanjkljaj nesprejemljiv. Pozvala sta zvezne kongresnike, naj sodelujejo z Reaganovo administracijo k zmanjševanju v kolikor mogoče napovedanega primanjkljaja. Mi smo pripravljeni na tako sodelovanje, sta v ločenih izjavah dejala Regan in Stockman.
Vodilni demokrati so takoj ostro kritizirali proračunski osnutek in ga označali kot nesprejemljiv. Demokrati in tudi mnogi republikanski kongresniki menijo, da so potrebne povišitve raznih davkov, ki jih terja zvezna vlada, ter tudi omejevanje rasti izdatkov predvsem za obrambno tajništvo. Glede novih oziroma povišanih davkov in tudi omejevanja izdatkov za obrambo ZDA je pa Reagan nepopustljiv. Radi tega pričakujejo opazovalci razmer na kapitolskem hribu, da zvezni kongres ne bo ukrepal letos proti rastočemu primanjkljaju v zveznem proračunu in da bodo morale možne rešitve čakati do 1. 1985, ko bodo predsedniške volitve končane.
Gospodarstveniki govorijo o hudih posledicah za ameriško gospodarstvo, ako se bodo nadaljevali še nekaj let tako visoki primanjkljaji v zveznem proračunu. To priznavajo tudi Reaganovci in predsednik sam, vendar doslej ni enotnega gledanja na to, kako učinkovito ukrepati zoper primanjkljaje.
Včeraj je bila podpisana pogodba, ki bo urejevala turizem med ZDA in Jugoslavijo. Pogodba bo menda precej koristila jugoslovanskemu gospodarstvu.
El Salvadorski predsedniški kandidat odgovoren za atentat na nadškofa pred 4 leti, trdi bivši veleposlanik ZDA
WASHINGTON, D. C. — Bivši ameriški veleposlanik v El Salvadorju Robert E. White je trdil včeraj, da je odgovoren za uspeli atentat na el salvadorskega nadškofa Oscara Romera, do katerega je prišlo 24. marca 1980, sedanji predsedniški kandidat in desničarski voditelj Roberto D’Aubui-sson. Dalje, meni White, ki ga je januarja 1981 odstranila nova Reaganova administracija, ZDA so vedele za zaroto zoper nadškofa in za D’Aubuissonovo vlogo v njej, ter ga ščitijo vse do danes.
White pravi, da je D’Aubuisson sklical sestanek, ki se gaje udeležilo 12 oseb, na katerem je bil atentat pripravljen ter atentator določen. Atentator naj bi bil neki Walter Antonio Alvarez, kasneje pa je D’Aubuisson dal tudi Alvareza ubiti, da ne bi mogel pričati o atentatu. Podatki o vsem tem naj bi bili zbrani v ameriškem veleposlaništvu do januarja 1981 ter odposlani v State Department in seveda v Belo hišo, meni White.
Bela hiša še ni uradno komentirala o teh trditvah. Mnogi opazovalci el salvadorskih razmer menijo, da vodi D’Aubuisson »morilske skupine«, ki izvršujejo atentate na levičarje in druge desničarjem nesprejemljive osebe. D’Aubuisson zanika te trditve, češ da so izmišljotine levičarjev.
Začetek tajnih pogajanj med Argentino in Veliko Britanijo o Faiklandih
LONDON, V. Br. — Angleški Foreign Office je potrdil, da že dva meseca potekajo tajna pogajanja med Veliko Britanijo in Argentino o bodočnosti Falkandskega otočja, ki ga Argentinci imenujejo Malvin-sko otočje. Leta 1982 je Argentina zasedla Falklande, Anglija pa je argentinsko enoto po srditih bojih premagala in jo izgnala. Vojna med državama je trajala 74 dni, izgube na obeh straneh so pa bile precejšnje.
Argentina še vedno trdi, da pripadajo Falklandi njej, kar pa Anglija zanika. Novi argentinski predsednik Raul Alfonsin je predlagal, naj igrali posredovalno vlogo Združeni narodi, kar je pa angleški zunanji minister Sir Geoffrey Howe takoj odklonil. V izjavi je predsednica vlade Margaret Thatcher dejala, da želijo Angleži vzpostavitev rednih diplomatskih in predvsem komercialnih odnosov z Argentino, suverenost Falklandov pa ni odprto vprašanje.
Muslimane! napredujejo napram enotam redne libanonske vojske
BEJRUT, Libanon — Včeraj in tudi danes potekajo srditi boji med Druse muslimanskimi četami in enotami redne libanonske vojske. Muslimanci so zavzeli nekaj položajev od vojske, ki je bila prisiljena k umiku. Položaji nadzorujejo mednarodno cesto, ki povezuje Bejrut z Damaskom, Sirijo. Ameriški marinci niso bili tarča včerajšnjih in današnjih spopadov.
Iz Clevelanda in okolice
Koncert v nedeljo—
To nedeljo popoldne ob treh bo v Slovenskem delavskem domu na Waterloo Rd. šesti letni koncert U.S.S. pihalne godbe. Vstopnice boste lahko dobili pri vhodu v dvorano. Volitve—
V	torek, 7. februarja, bodo v Clevelandu posebne volitve. Glasovanje bo o dveh predlogih (Issues 1 and 2). Predlog 1 bi dovolil povišitev davka na zaslužke tistih, ki so zaposleni v Clevelandu, za pol odstotka. Župan Voinovich zelo vneto zagovarja Predlog 1 in na 3. str. današnje A.D. boste našli njegovo pismo, naslovljeno na slovenske bralce, ki ga objavljamo kot plačan oglas. Predlog 2 bi dovolil mestu pravico uporabe zveznega denarja za sofinanciranje nove valjarne, v kateri bi baje našlo zaposlitev do 300 delavcev. Župan Voinovich tudo ta Predlog zagovarja. Proti obema predlogoma so bivši župan Dennis Kucinich in mnoge druge osebe. Kucinich je sedaj Član mestnega sveta.
Zaprisegel bo—
V	petek, 10. februarja, dopoldne ob enajstih bo v prostorih clevelandskega mestnega sveta na E. 6. cesti in Lakeside Ave. zaprisegel novi clevelandski mestni sodnik Edmund J. Turk, naš rojak. Na to sodniško mesto ga je imenoval guverner Richard Celeste. G. Turk vabi vse Slovence, da se udeležijo njegove zaprisege in tudi sprejema, ki bo sledil. Zelo bi bil vesel, če bi bila udeležba velika. Kot morda veste, je Edmund Turk tretji Slovenec, ki je kdaj postal sodnik v Clevelandu. Prvi je bil seveda Frank J. Lausche, drugi pa August Pryatel, ki je še vedno sodnik. Menda se bosta oba udeležila Turkove zaprisege, kot tudi župan Voinovich. Pridite tudi Vi!

Nagradeno gospodinjstvo
Za pojem, ki ga vsebuje angleška beseda housekeeping, imamo Slovenci izraz gospodinjstvo. Ta beseda zajame obširno vsebino dejavnosti, obsegajoče ne le skrb za red in snago v hiši in okrog nje ter za pripravo jedil, ampak tudi za življenje v hiši, torej za družino in zlasti za otroke. Z ozirom na tako obsežno nalogo gospodinje, ki se n. pr. na kmetiji raztegne še na štalo in hleve pa tudi na raznovrstno poljsko delo, pravi naš znani pregovor, da gospodinja tri vogale pri hiši podpira.
V mestnih in delavskih družinah pade včasih pod gotovimi okoliščinami gospodinjsko delo v naših časih tudi na ramena moškega, se pravi moža in očeta. Čimbolj se uveljavlja v sedanji družbi feministično gibanje za enakost moškega in ženske, ko žene-gospodinje in matere silijo v službe izven doma, da bi si zagotovile lastne dohodke, tembolj ustaljena struktura gospodinjstva, h kateri nujno spada vzreja in vzgoja otrok, prehaja pod silo socialnega in gospodarskega razvoja v mnogih primerih v roke moža in očeta. Tendenca ženskega omoženega sveta po lastnem zaslužku je prav pogostoma razumljiva in celo upravičena. Na kmetiji dobijo mati skoraj redno kak drobiž za jajčka, maslo, mleko ali kako kuro, med tem ko v delavskem ali meščanskem gospodinjstvu kaj takega ni mogoče. Iti za vsake nogavice ali ruto moledovat k možu, je res odvratno. Ne smemo torej ženskam preveč zameriti njihove bojevitosti, a na žalost, gre ta reč nekoliko predaleč na račun gospodinjstva in družine.
Preden o problemu 'gospodinjstva' kaj več spregovorimo, se mora razjasniti terminologija tega pojma. Kar razume Anglež pod izrazom housekeeping ali homemaking, vsebuje slovenska beseda gospodinjstvo. Toda, med tem ko angleški samostalnik ne razločuje med spoloma (n.pr. slovenska učitelj in učiteljica sta oba le teacher - neprijetna pomanjkljivost angleščine), je v slovenščini zmeraj razloček med obema. Po drugi strani pa za housekeeper, besedo, ki velja za moškega ali žensko, tudi Slovenci nimamo dveh izrazov. Rabimo samo besedo gospodinja, kar je verjetno posledica slovenske zgodovinske danosti, ko je bila skrb za dom in družino vedno v rokah žene, nikoli moža. Da si pomagamo iz jezikovne zadrege, bom uporabljal za moškega housekeeperja moško končnico ar pri besedi gospodinja, torej gospodinjar (kakor n.pr. gospodar, konjar ipd.)
Kljub tem težavam se vendarle splača nekaj reči o 'gospodinjstvu', ker je problem v resnici zelo akuten pa tudi zanimiv in važen. Gre namreč pod pojmom gospodinjstvo za razmišljanje in ukvarjanje z družinsko politiko našega časa. Zgodovinski razvoj človeškega rodu je namreč prišel do točke, na kateri se smatra urejeno družinsko življenje za nekaj preživelega, zlasti za ženo nekaj obremenilnega, kar preprečuje njen svoboden osebni razmah. Radi tega družinsko življenje propada, dom je v krizi, otroci brez nege staršev rastejo divje v negotovo bodočnost človeške družbe in socialnega sožitja.
Te krute resnice se je zavedala katoliška Cerkev, in iz Vatikana je pred kratkim izšla 'listina' (charter) o družinskih pravicah, kjer je sproženo vprašanje, naj bo gospodinjstvo za svojo službo - plačano. Ideja je gotovo edinstvena, vredna razpravljanja tudi in zlasti v sedanji politični kampanji v Ameriki, kjer je kriza družine zelo prisotna.
Poročilo s Koroške
FOWLER, Kans. - Gotovo bo naročnike Ameriške Domovine - posebno še one, ki tako vneto in velikodušno podpirajo Koroške študente - zanimalo, kakšno je trenutno stanje slovenskih študentov na Koroškem.
Omenil sem že v prejšnjih dopisih, da so levičarji odprli v jeseni nov, zelo moderen študentovski Dom za 180 študentov. Dom je bil zgrajen s skoraj 100-odstotno pomočjo komunistične vlade v Ljubljani. Zastopniki te vlade in njihove ideologije so hodili od hiše do hiše in vabili slovenske študente v njihov Dom. Ker je oskrbnina študentov tudi v Avstriji zelo draga, so študentom obljubljali stanovanje in hrano v Domu za polovično ceno in celo zastonj. Seveda račune bo plačala vlada v Ljubljani. Na ta način si hočejo zagotoviti močno postojanko njihove ideologije na Koroških tleh. Vzgoja je seveda strogo po partijski liniji. In kakšni so rezultati?
V	šolskem letu 1982/83 je v tem Domu stanovalo 61 dijakov; v letu 1983/84 jih pa imajo 67.
V	katoliških Mohorjevih Domovih pa je stanovalo v letu 1982/83 197 študentov, v letu 1983/84 pa jih imajo 181.
Mnogo je seveda študentov, ki se vozijo dnevno z vlakom ali avtobusom, ali pa stanujejo v Celovcu. Tako je slovenska gimnazija v Celovcu imela v letu 1982/83 511 dijakov, letos
pa jih ima 491. Število je malo padlo in glavni vzrok je seveda, pač ni otrok. Gimnazija je državna ustanova in nima nobenega opravka z Mohorjevo družbo. Takšno je torej stanje študentov.
Kot je bilo je poročano v Ameriški Domovini, Mohorjeva družba sedaj zida v neposredni bližini gimnazije nov Dom - Modestov dom - kamor se bodo dijaki preselili. Glavni vzrok zidave je potreba prostorov in nujna izselitev iz sedanjega Doma, ker poteče najemna pogodba. Tako bodo študentje v novem šolskem letu že stanovali v Modesto-vem domu.
Naša glavna skrb so seveda študentje v tem novem Domu. V preteklem šolskem letu je dobilo podporo 25 študentov. Štirje so dobili podporo iz Avstralije, nekaj darov je prišlo iz Nemčije, ostali pa so dobili štipendije iz Amerike in Kanade. Celotna šolnina je 500 dolarjev.
Kdo dobi štipendijo? Pogoji so trije: dober katoličan, zaveden Slovenec, in reven. O vsem tem odločuje posebna komisija. Člani komisije osebno poznajo študenta-prosilca in gospodarske razmere njegovih staršev. Tako je popolnoma nemogoče, da bi kakšen levičar dobil podporo od darov, ki jih jaz tja pošljem. Silno vestno skrbi za ta denar g. Janko Urank in vsakokrat, ko mu kaj pošljem, mi takoj sporoči točno stanje denarja v
banki, ki je pod posebnim čekovnim računom: »M-RPZ -Urank«. (Mohorjeva-Rož, Podjuna, Žila). Ta denar se rabi samo za štipendije (room and board) dijakov v Mohorjevih domovih. To poudarjam radi tega, ker so bile neke govorice, da je možnost, da bi tudi levičarji kaj dobili iz tega sklada. Možnosti ni nobene. Vsi dobrotniki to dobro vedo, saj dobijo lepa, osebna zahvalna pisma od študentov, ki so prejeli njihove štipendije.
Vsi vemo, kako hitro čas beži. Prav kmalu bo zopet jesen in novo šolsko leto. Z zbirko teh šolnin moramo takoj začeti, da bo tako vodstvo štipendij vedelo, kolikim študentom morejo obljubiti podporo v novem šolskem letu. Zato se ponovno obračam na vse Slovence v Ameriki in Kanadi, naj to akcijo podprejo z vsemi močmi. Tako bo z našo pomočjo ostal slovenski živelj na Koroškem pri življenju in Korošci bodo imeli voditelje, ki jim bomo mi pomagali preko težavnih študentovskih let. In kar je najbolj važno: v Mohorjevem domu se bodo vzgajali zavedni Slovenci in dobri katoličani. V naši rodni domovini je kaj takega nemogoče; pomagamo pa lahko slovenskim Korošcem, ki so naša kri in del našega trpečega naroda.
Vsak dar bodo študentje in njihovi starši sprejeli z največjim veseljem in hvaležnostjo. Vse darove lahko pošiljate na moj naslov in za vsaki dar se vam bom osebno zahvalil.

Vatikansko iniciativo je povzel predsednik katoliške univerze v Ameriki Rev. William J. Byron S.J. ter napisal esej o tem predmetu. Svoj traktat je naslonil na pravkar izšlo knjigo univ. profesorja Neil Gilberts pod naslovom Capitalism and the Welfare State, v kateri ta predlaga za celodnevno zaposlitev gospodinje ali gospodinjarja primerno odškodnino, ki naj jo plača federalna vlada. Ideja nagra-denega gospodinjstva zajema oba spola, ženo in moža in zatorej ni naperjena zoper ženski spol ali zoper feministično gibanje. Njen pomen pa je v viziji, da v družinah z otroki naj nikoli ne bo vakuuma, v katerem bi bili prisiljeni rasti otroci od nežnega otroštva do telesne in duševne zrelosti. Vedno naj bo doma eden od staršev, nikoli oba cel dan zdoma na delu.
Ne moremo na tem mestu iti v podrobnosti eseja, ki ga je napisal Rev. Byron, pa tudi predmet sam ni toliko razglašen, da bi vzbujal veliko zanimanje. Le en odstavek je vredno dobesedno navesti: »Socialni znanstveniki, politiki in včasih pisci strankarskih programov (platform) ugotavljajo odsotnost družinske politike v Združenih državah. Nacionalna politika, ki bi ekonomsko omogočala večjemu številu staršev prebiti več časa z otroki v razvojnih letih bi komaj bila kaj drugega kot dobra za narod.«
Nagrada (družinski) gospodinji ali gospodinjarju je zamišljena na svobodni izbiri, brez kakršne koli prisila. Nadomestila naj bi zelo hvaljene Day Care Centers, ki pa so skrajno slabo nadomestilo za domačo oskrbo in vzgojo otroka, čeprav je uvodničar lista The New York Times tako navdušen zanje, da je oni dan zapisal, da je Day Care tako imenitna, da »AH of America's children should be so lucky«, če so v njih. Kakšno izmaličeno gledanje na osnovno vzgojo v družini!
A od kod naj pride denar za kritje družinskih gospodinjskih izplačil? Osnovno vprašanje za realizacijo te zamislil Jaz bi imel skromen predlog: vzame naj se od tam, od koder se danes plačujejo Day Care Centers (ki bi ne bili več potrebni), od koder teče javni (taxpayer's) denar za abortuse, za vzdrževanje ustanov in razdeljevanje tablet proti spočetju in za podpore ničvrednicam, ki rodijo otroke v zavesti, da bodo vzdrževani z javnim denarjem. Vsa ta resnična stvarnost slabi in uničuje fizično moč in moralne vrednote naroda. Naj bi se zatorej raje trošil za ohranitev in razvoj zdravega družinskega življenja, ki je stoletja bil, in je danes, temelj narodove fizične in moralne moči.

Franc Jeza umrl v Trstu
GORICA, It. - V tržaški bolnišnici je v petek, 20. januarja, umrl za kapjo časnikar in pisatelj Franc Jeza. Star je bil 67 let. Pokojnik je bil doma iz Hajdine pri Ptuju. Tik pred vojno se je vpisal na pravno fakulteto v Ljubljani, študija pa zaradi vojnih dogodkov ni mogel dokončati. Mnogo let kasneje je dokončal študij etnografije in etnologije na univerzi v Gradcu.
Takoj po okupaciji Slovenije se je Franc Jeza kot krščanski socialist vključil v narodnoosvobodilno gibanje. Med neko akcijo za osvoboditev zaprtih prijateljev pa so ga prijeli, obsodili na dosmrtno ječo in odgnali v notranjost Italije. Ko se je po razsulu vrnil, so ga prijeli nacisti in ga odvedli v Dachau. To svojo kalvarijo je opisal v pričevanju »V dachauskih blokih«, ki ga je objavljal v Novem listu, katerega sodelavec je bil skoraj trideset let.
Po vrnitvi iz nacističnih taborišč je bil Franc Jeza v Ljubljani nekaj časa časnikar pri Slovenskem poročevalcu. Ker se ni strinjal s povojnim režimom v Jugoslaviji, se je odločil za beg iz domovine in prišel leta 1948 v Italijo; najprej je živel v begunskem taborišču pri Frosinonu in potem v Rimu, nazadnje pa se je preselil v Trst, kjer je bil do leta 1954 pri zavezniški časnikarski agenciji AIS.

Slovenska šola pri Mariji Vnebovzeti se zahvaljuje
CLEVELAND, O. - Preteklo nedeljo, 29. januarja, je bilo prav lepo pri fari Mariji Vnebovzeti v Collinwoodu. Pri lepo zasedeni pol enajsti sv. maši so otroci Slovenske šole lepo sodelovali. Tudi mašnik, g. Lojze Tomc, nas je bil vesel, hvala mu za spodbudne besede.
Po sv. maši smo odšli v Šolsko dvorano na kosilo Slovenske šole. Okrog lepo pripravljenih miz smo posedli, matere in dekleta pa so urno postregle.
Za vse te dobrote in skrbi naša iskrena zahvala ge. Zofi Mazi in njenim pomočnicam. Prav tako hvala vsem materam in dekletom za vso postrežbo. Pa tudi vsem, ki so pripravili mize, tako očetam kot materam, in vsem, ki ste napekle štrudeljna in drugega peciva. Hvala vsem, ki ste pomagali pri pospravljanju.
Naša iskrena zahvala župniku g. Victorju Tomcu, ki nam je dal dvorano na razpolago, Ameriški Domovini za objavo dopisa in vrstic, ter dr. Milanu Pavlovčiču, ki je po radijskih valovih vabil na naše kosilo.
Bog plačaj pa tudi vsem, ki ste razumeli naše vabilo, se odzvali, in vsem, ki ste na kakršenkoli način pomagali!

O Predlogu 1
Prihodnji torek bodo v Clevelandu posebne volitve, na katerih bodo volivci glasovali za ali proti Predlogu 1, ki dovoljuje povišitev davka na zaslužke vseh tistih, zaposlenih v Clevelandu, za 0,5 odstotka. Ta davek bi torej bil povišan od sedanjih 2 na 2,5 odstotka.
Davek bi plačali predvsem ljudi, ki so zaposleni v našem mestu, živijo pa v Euclidu, na Richmond Hts. ali drugje. Davek bi morali plačati tudi tisti Clevelandčani, ki so zaposleni v Clevelandu. Davka pa ne bi plačali tisti, ki so upokojeni in prejemajo Social Security in oz. ali druge pokojnine. Prav tako ne bi bili obdavčeni preko Predloga 1 dohodki, ki izvirajo iz raznih investicij, kot na primer hranilnih vlog, delnic, najemnin, zadolžnic itd.
V posebnem pismu obravnava svoje stališče do Predloga 1 župan George V. Voino-vich. Vsak clevelandski volivec bi moral ta sicer plačan politični oglas temeljito prebrati. Lastnik Ameriške Domovine in tudi urednik slovenskega dela podpirata županovo stališče. To storita kljub temu, da bosta morala oba davek plačevati, nimata pa možnosti, glasovati o Predlogu.

Žena, Verona ter ostalo sorodstvo. Cleveland, Ohio, 3. feb. 1984.
Odprto pismo župana George V. Voinovicha
Dragi slovenski prijatelji v Clevelandu!
Ta torek, 7. februarja, imate priliko glasovati o Predlogu 1, ki odobri polodstotno povišitev davka na zaslužke (Payroll Tax).
Etnični volivci - posebno tisti, ki so slovenskega porekla -tradicionalno dokazujejo svojo zvestobo pošteni, odgovorni in zanesljivi vladni upravi.
Dobro razumete močan vpliv, ki ga imajo učinkovite mestne storitve na vrednost vaših hiš in na trdnost vaših soseščin.
Odobritev Predloga 1 (Issue 1) bo okrepila trdnost soseščin in denarna vrednostJiiš.
Najbrž že veste o mojem slovensko-srbskem poreklu. To omenjam zato, ker smo pripadniki narodnostnih skupin poznani in spoštovani po našem varčevalnem značaju. Clevelandska mestna uprava je bila pod mojim vodstvom zvesta temu značaju in smo varčevali z denarjem, kjer smo mogli. Skušali smo dobiti od vsakega dolarja največ možnega v korist mestu in njegovemu prebivalstvu.
Varčevali smo pri izdatkih mestne uprave na raznih načinih. Tako je zaposlenih v mestni upravi danes 437 manj delavcev in uslužbencev, kot pred 4 leti. Veliko manj je zaostankov od dela radi bolezni s strani mestnih uslužbencev, število nadur je manjše za več kot 50%. Storili smo torej vse, kar je bilo v naši moči, da bi ne bili prisiljeni zaprositi volivce Clevelanda za povišitev davka na zaslužke oz. Payroll Tax.
Kot veste, je naše mesto prizadeto radi najhujšega gospodarskega zastoja vse od Velike depresije v 30-ih letih, ki se je mnogo nas še spominja. Cleveland se še ne udeležuje v gospodarskem vzponu, ki ga ekonomisti opazujejo v drugih predelih Združenih držav.
Velika brezposelnost, zapiranje mnogih tovarn - prav ta teden smo zvedeli, da bo Exxon Corp. zaprl svoj Reliance Electric obrat na Ivanhoe Rd. v Collinwoodu (moja soseščina vse od rojstva do danes), pri tem bo pa izgubilo delo več kot 300 delavcev in uslužbencev -, krajši delovni tedni in znižanja plač so vsi prispevali k zmanjševanju dohodka, ki ga mestna uprava prejema od sedanjega davka na zaslužke.
Dohodki, ki smo jih pričakovali in na katere smo računali, niso prihajali. Dohodek od davka na zaslužke v letu 1983 je bil na primer manjši od pričakovanega kar za 15%. Brezposelnost v Clevelandu je še vedno zelo visoka - 1 5,4-od-stotna v primerjavi z 8,4% za ZDA.
Sedaj se soočamo s proračunskim primanjkljajem okoli 1 7 milijonov dolarjev. Tak primanjkljaj bi imel hude negativne posledice glede mestnih storitev. Med drugim, imeli bi manj policistov, manj gasilcev, manj uslužbencev oddelka za Emergency Medical Services.
Ves naš dosedanji napredek, ves zagon, ki smo ga ustvarili, bi bil zelo prizadet. S pomočjo clevelandskih etničnih skupin, tega ne bomo dovolili.
Želim posebej poudariti nekaj zelo važnega, nekaj, kar morate vzeti v poštev vsi, ki se preživljate predvsem ali izključno s Social Security in drugimi pokojninami. Vi ne boste plačali niti enega centa tega davka!
Plačali bodo samo tisti, ki prejemajo plačo, torej tisti, ki so zaposleni. Mislim, da je to prav, ker imajo upokojenci dovolj denarnih skrbi in težav brez naložitve še kakega novega davka. Dalje, kljub temu, da vi, upokojenci, ne boste radi tega davka sami obdavčeni, zagotavljam vam, da boste deležni visoke ravne mestnih storitev, ki jih bo dovoljevala povišitev davka.
Torek, 7. februarja, je dan odločitve.
Ako bo Predlog 1 zavrnjen, bomo imeli manj policistov, manj gasilcev, manj Emergency Medical Services zaščite. Prizadete bi bile tudi druge mestne storitve.
Vodilne etnične organizacije v mestu aktivno podpirajo Predlog 1.
Ali bi jim sledili tudi vi, ko greste glasovat ta torek, 7. februarja?
Glasujte v svojo osebno korist, v korist vaše družine in vaše sosečTne ter za nadaljnji razvoj in napredek vašega mesta! Glasujte ZA za Predlog 11
Hvala za vašo pomoč in razumevanje.
George V. Voinovich, župan

Nova številka revije Slovene Studies ob 10-letnici Družbe za slovenistične študije
TRST, It. - Novi zvezek revije Slovene Studies: Journal of the Society for Slovene Studies (številka 1, leto 1983, 152 strani) je posvečen deseti obletnici delovanja Družbe za slovenistične študije v New Yorku. Poleg rednega revialnega gradiva to pot revija prinaša predvsem jubilejno poročilo o Družbinem delovanju.
V	rednem revialnem gradivu sta dve razpravi, ena iz jezikoslovja, druga iz semiotike. Jezikoslovna razprava »O padajočem naglasu v slovanskih jezikih z ozirom na gradivo, ki ga daje slovenščina,« je izpod peresa Lewa R. Micklesena, ameriškega akcentologa, ki se že vrsto let ukvarja s slovenščino. Študija »Ethnicity and Communication« izpod peresa znane raziskovalke naše Žirovnice, ameriške antropologinje Irene Portis Winnerjeve, predstavlja nov poskus povezovanja jezika in etničnosti v modernih ameriških urbanističnih centrih.
Med ocenjenimi knjigami so: Ac ta Ecclesiastica Slove-niae, I in II (Rudolph Planik); monografija Das Slowenische in Kdrnten Gera Fischerja (T. M. S. Priestly); in knjige The Structure and History of the Slovene Language R. L. Lenčka (Ronald F. Feldstein).
V	bibliografskem pregledu novejše literature iz posameznih strok slovenistike poročata: Rado L. Lenček o publikacijah o jeziku in jezikoslovju, in Bogdan C. Novak o publikacijah iz slovenskega zgodovinopisja. V pregledu konferenc in zborovanj je napovedana posebna številka ameriške revije Nationalities Papers (števiHca 2, 1983), ki prinaša prispevke tržaških članov Družbe za slovenistične študije s Simpozija o Slovencih v severovzhodni Italiji, ki ga je Družba priredila lani v oktobru v Washingtonu, D. C.
Glavni del te številke revije je posvečen jubileju delovanja Družbe za slovenistične študije (1973-1983). Pregled njenega delovanja je pripravil Ian Kelly v sodelovanju s tajnikoma in predsednikoma Družbe. Gradivo tega pregleda prinaša: predsednikovo Uvodno besedo; pravila Družbe; pregled funkcionarjev Družbe od začetka do danes; kronološki pregled zgodovine Družbe; finančno poročilo; pregled 2®t>rovanj in konferenc, ki jih je Družba imela v desetih letih; bibliografski pregled publikacij Družbe; reprezentativni bibliografski pregled znanstvenega dela članov in seznam članov Družbe.
Predsednikova Uvodna beseda prinaša med drugim nekaj misli, ki jih je vredno posneti v slovenščini: Za obstoj in delovanje družbe znanstvenikov, posvečene pospeševanju študija kulture takega jezikovnega mikrokozma, kot je slovenski, v takem svetovnem jeziku, kot je angleščina, govore vsaj trije razlogi.
Taka družba, prvič, lahko smotrno vzbuja zanimanje za
kulturo malega naroda v svetu; drugič, lahko pospešuje raziskovanje kulture malega naroda pri znanstvenikih, ki se ne ukvarjajo izključno s slovenskimi problemi; in tretjič, pomaga vključevati rezultate slovenističnih raziskovanj v širše kontekste, preglede in sinteze sodobnih znanosti.
To poslanstvo je vodilo delovanje Družbe za slovenistične študije v prvem desetletju njenega obstoja in le po tem, koliko je bila Družba zvesta namenu, radi katerega je bila poklicana v življenje, naj bo merilo za presojanje njene aktivnosti. Mimo vseh seznamov manifestacij slovenskega imena v svetu, predavanj in publikacij, s katerimi se Družba upravičeno lahko ponaša ob svoji desetletnici, je pravi čudež, da taka Družba, ki — kot stvari stojijo danes — edina predstavlja slovenske študije v svetu, obstoja že deset let, samorastna kakor je — izključno ob skromnih finančnih podporah svojih članov. U-gled, ki si ga je pridobila in ki sloni samo na njenem delu in ugledu njenih članov, dela čast njej sami, njenim članom in njihovi predanosti znanstvenemu delu.
Sedež Society for Slovene Studies je na Columbia University v New Yorku. Njen predsednik je Rado L. Lenček, profesor slovanskega jezikoslovja na Oddelku za slovanske jezike te univerze. Urednik revije Slovene Studies je profesor Henry R. Cooper, Jr. (Dr. Cooper je profesor na Oddelku za slovanske jezike na univerzi Indiane, Bloomington, Ind. Op. ur. AD) C.E.G.

Super Folks Enjoy SHA Benefit Fete
It was “Super Sunday” in Euclid Jan. 22 when the largest crowd in the six year history of the Venison Dinner - for the benefit of the Slovene Home for the Aged enjoyed the St. Mary Parish-sponsored event at the Slovenian Society Home on Recher Avenue.
The huge number of persons in attendance indicated their concern for the Slovene Home for the Aged by being at the dinner in spite of the much publicized Super Bowl football game taking place at the same time. All those workipg in any capacity at the benefit donated their time. Congratulations to the Slovenian community for another ► splendid job well done!

Radio Show Expands We are happy to report that because of an increased interest from business sponsors, our radio program on WELW (1330 AM) and NBN Cable will expand a full hour Saturdays (beginning Feb. 4). The show will now be broadcast for three hours Saturday, noon until 3 p.m. in addition to the daily 4 until 5 p.m. slot.

The program which began in 1961 is the longest running daily polka show on radio and is done live from Tony’s Polka Village on E. 185 St.
The response to the new Polka Varieties TV show Joey Miskulin is doing on
Channel 61 in Cleveland has been very good and it looks like it will be put back to back permanently on Sunday evenings with Lawrence Welk.

Memo From Madeline
Works of Slovene Landscape Artist on Display Now
by Madeline Debevec
The Contemporary Art Center of Cleveland is presenting “'Cleveland Revisted,” an exhibition of landscape paintings by April Gornik through Feb. 11.
April was born in Cleveland in 1953 and now resides in New York City. She attended the Cleveland Institute of Art from 1971-75 and received her bachelor of fine arts degree from Nova Scotia College of Art and Design.
Her paintings capture nature at its most theatrical: storms at sea or whipping across the desert; the menace of thunder over an empty landscape; the peculiar light just before sunset.
Gornik has had one-woman exhibitions at the Edward Thorp Gallery in New York and at the University of Colorado Art Galleries. Selected group exhibitions included Cleveland’s Museum of Art May Show, Center Gallery at Rutgers University, the Fine Arts Gallery at the University of Rhode Island, Hudson River Museum in Yonkers, and the Tucson Museum of Art in Arizona.
Her uncle, Joe Gornick of Euclid, beams with pride when he talks about the exhibit.
St. Vitus Dad’s Club is sponsoring a fish and shrimp fry from 4:30-7 p.m. today (Feb. 3).
MaryAnn Rose Skrabec Makes Debut
MaryAnn Skrabec made her debut on Dec. 9 at Euclid General Hospital. She weighed 7 lbs., 3 ozs. Proud parents are Joe and Maria Skrabec of Euclid.
A christening was held at St. Mary’s Church last Sunday. Godparents are Apolonia and Joe Žakelj.
Congratulations to the grandparents, Anton and Marianne Vegel and Joe and Pauline Skrabec; great-grandparents Anthony and Marianne Osredkar and Mrs. Mary Kobal, and little brother Joe.

CONCLUSION MAYOR GEORGE V. VOINOVICH Q. What happens if I say no and we don’t pass the tax?
A. We’ll initially have at least a $17 million deficit, with all the grievous consequences that will have for the city on the bond market.
This will require reducing or wiping out entirely the tax credit now enjoyed by
Clevelanders who work in the suburbs.
The elimination of as many as 1,300 workers — many through layoffs, others through attrition — workers, I should add, who now perform vitally important functions for taxpayers.
It also will mean fewer police cars on patrol, fewer Emergency Medical Service units for taxpayers, fewer recreation centers and fewer
fire stations.
Q. Is there anything else left to say?
A. Yes. February 7th is a time for decision. Unless Issue I is passed we will have less police, less fire, less emergency protection and reduced city services.
We must keep Cleveland moving ahead. Vote for Issue I. Vote for Cleveland. Vote for you, your family, y°ur neighborhood, your city.
Slovenians Endorse Bigger Tax
We are writing this letter to you because we believe the time has come to support an issue which is vitally important to the future of our city and our Slovenian Community. This is a personal and civic appeal for your active support of the proposed 1/2 increase in payroll tax.
We are proud of the outstanding work Mayor Voinovich, a distinguished member of our Slovenian Community, has done during the past four years. He led our City out of default, established a sound management system, slashed overtime by more than 50%, and trimmed the city -payroll. He has established a good rapport with City Council, the business community, and civic and religious institutions. Under his inspiring leadership, we are rebuilding a positive image for Cleveland on both the local and national level.
Much, however, remains to be done. The momentum that is building up... the progress achieved will be critically hindered unless we provide the mayor additional revenues he needs to provide good services. As you well know, a great number of factories and businesses, where many Slovenians found employment and secure living have been shut down in recent years. All of you know what happened to White Motors’ Truck Plant, the Fisher Body Plant on Coit Road, the Eaton Axle Plant and the Collinwood Railroad Yards, to name only a few. With declining city revenues and decreasing support from the Federal government, the city’s future, our future, depends on our ability to help ourselves. In helping the city, in this time of need, we will assure the survival of our Slovenian institutions based in Cleveland: our national homes, our churches, our social organizations, and cultural groups, which rely so heavily on good services and quality of life that only an orderly and well managed government can provide.
It is important to remember that our senior citizens and pensioners, living in Cleveland, depend on good city services and
police protection. While the tax increase will assure thfiSfi services, the taX
these services, the tax burden will rest only on the income earners and not senior citizens who live on social securitv or other
social security or other pensions. They will not have to pay a penny of this tax although they will derive every benefit from it-
Now is the time for all Slovenians to give full support to our mayor in this time of need. If you are 3 Cleveland resident, please vote yes on issue one. If y0LJ live outside the city, please encourage your friends m Cleveland to vote for it.
Naj lepša hvala za vašo pomoč. — Thank you f° your support.	-

Speech Salutes Anniversary of Radio Show
The Jollowirig speech was given by Mojca Slak on Sun., Jon. 15 at the Slov. National Home on St. Clair on the occasion of the 30th anniversary °f the Slovenian radio program, “Songs and melodies from Beautiful Slovenia. ” The talk was so good, it received the longest applause of any speaker.
By MOJCA SLAK
Today we honor the ac-c°mplishments	and
achievements of those whose unselfishness and tireless ef-ort brought “Songs and ^elodies from Beautiful .venia’’ to mark its 30th anniversary on Cleveland’s airwaves.
The program debuted on Oc-°ber 11, 1953. Stane Šušteršič ancI Rado Menart were the Program's originators. Mr. u*teršiČ brought his broadcasting experience gained at adio Celovec before the rorophone, while Mr. Cnart handled the technical ud managerial aspects of the °w. The program aired Sun-uay mornings on WERE from *00 to 9:30.
v For special occasions Mr. Jeršič invited Milan favlovčič to join the team, u ' Pavlovčič, too, brought roadcasting experience as e, as extensive dramatic ming to the show. n i960, Stane Šušteršič ac-Pted a position with Voice of M erica in Washington, D.C. h/' ^avl°včič then assumed
the Program.
jin the same year, Rado was involved in for-n ..atlng and organizing a new qi l0nalities radio station for

When I was asked to present the history of the Slovenian radio program for this occasion I found myself quite happy about my ignorance. After all at my age it’s been quite some time since I was able to admit that 1 was too young to remember certain events. Because I was a mere infant when “Songs and Melodies from Beautiful Slovenia’’ debuted, I had to learn the dates and sequence of events. On the other hand, because I was a mere infant, the Slovenian radio program has been as much a part of my life as the house I live in, the schools I attended, or the church where I worship. The show has been an important link between America and Catholic Slovenian culture and customs left behind for those who came to the U.S. after World War II. But for those of us born here, the radio program has been both an integral part of daily life and an educational tool our parents used to teach us many things about who we are as Slovenians.
Growing up, we always had company for dinner. The family sat down to dinner with the radio on. When the voice of Milan, or Rado, or Pavle spoke, everyone became silent and listened. The guest was always to be respected. Based on what was said, our parents then began to explain or detail the information so that we would understand and remember.
These lessons taught at dinner covered a wide range of
knowledge. Perhaps we learned of a great event in our Slovenian history. Or perhaps we celebrated the anniversary of the writing of one of Preseren’s works. Or perhaps we hummed a new melody by Avsenik. Throughout these 30 years the combined effect of these pieces of knowledge has been that the radio program helped teach those of us born in America what it is to be Slovenian.
Often times ethnic things are considered to be for older people and believed to be of only temporary value; that once those older people leave this earth there will be no need, no point to all this ethnicity. Yet there is a need for “Songs and Melodies from Beautiful Slovenia” to continue. We are witnessing the birth of a new generation: Americans born of Americans born of immigrants. This new generation must learn what we had to learn.	They	need	the radio
program to aid in their education just as we did — just as we still do because learning ends only with death.
To Mr. Šušteršič, Mr. Menart, Mr. Borštnik, and most	certainly,	to	Mr.
Pavlovčič, we extend our heartfelt appreciation for all you have contributed to the growth of the Slovenian community in Cleveland through the radio program these 30 years.	May	God	bless	our
homes	with	the “Songs	and
Melodies from Beautiful Slovenia” for another generation.

Deaths
PAUL HORVAT
Paul Horvat, 85, a retired landscape contractor and nursery owner on Illinois’ North Shore, also was the founder of the International Peasants Movement; the International Farmers Movement; and Self-Help Action of Chicago, a food-buying coop with 30,000 members.
Mr. Horvat, a Wilmette, 111. resident, died Jan. 14 in Glen-brook Hospital, Glenview, 111. Mass was Jan. 18 at Our Lady of the Brook Church, Northbrook.
Mr. Horvat organized Yugoslavian peasants against the Central Powers in World War I, against the Nazis in World War II and against the Communists in the decade following the war. After a short but very successful landscaping nursey business career in Wilmette, he helped organize farmers in the Midwest and the poor of Chicago to win better food prices.
In World War I, Mr. Horvat organized a Slovene peasant resistance movement against the Central Powers and was sentenced to death, only to be saved by the armistice. Tito’s Communist insurgents in World War II freed him from a similar death sentence at the hands of the Nazis. Mr. Horvat was
credited with saving thousands of Jews from imprisonment at Dachau by impersonating German officers.
Years later, he learned a tree had been planted at a memorial garden in Israel to commemorate his deeds.
He also was imprisoned by the Communists but was released when they needed him to pacify rebellious peasants.
Mr. Horvat organized the International Peasant Movement and was elected president by 3,500 delegates from 21 countries meeting in Linz, Austria, in 1948.
He arrived in New York from Yugoslavia in 1952, borrowed $10 and took a train to Gary, Ind., where he worked in steel mills. When workers went on strike, he and his wife moved to Winnetka, 111., and obtained employment as a house couple. They worked in the evenings as baby-sitters and saved money to start a landscaping and nursery business.
They eventually owned four greenhouses, a nursery, a flower shop and a garden supply store in Northbrook as well as homes on the North Shore and in Florida.
At a meeting he organized for a group of Chicago South Siders and a Downstate farmer in 1968, he began the Self-Help Action of Chicago food program. The farmer couldn’t believe the high prices that he would be getting for his food
