KAJ JE DELOKROG "RAVNATELJA MLADINSKIH AKTIVNOSTI" Na nekatera vprašanje društvenih tajnikov, iz kakšnih razlogov ali namenov je zadnja konvencija zvišala število društvenega odbora, kateremu se je dodalo še "ravnatelja mladinskih aktivnosti1' in kaj ao funkcije tega odbornika, uvideve* potrebo dati nekaj zadevnega pojasnila. Čas prihaja, ko bo morala tu rojena mladina naših članov, katera je včlanjena v jednotl, prej ali alej prevzeti odgovorna mesta v lokalnih društvih, ker naravno je, da oni, ki so v vodatvu mnoga leta, bodo po naravnem procesu prisiljeni odstopiti omenjene posle mlajši generaciji. Ker se pa mladina na splošno zelo malo zanima za bratske podporne organizacije, ustanovljene po začetnih naseljencih, je resna potreba med drušWi za nekoga, ki naj bi to mladino pripravljal za odgovorno društveno delo. To je bil glavni namen in povod, da se je društvenemu odboru pridalo "mladinakega ravnatelja". Funkoije tega odbornika naj bi bile predveem te: Organizirati in pospeševati različne delavnosti med mladino svoje okolice, zlasti spodbujsti zanimanje za večje sodelovanja od strani mlajših članov pri raznih priredbah in drugih društvenih ali jednotl-nih javnih funkcijah. Ravnatelj mladinakih aktivnosti bi tudi lahko pripravljal primerne načrte programov za družabne, kulturne, atletske in podobne aktivnosti, kakršne so potrebne in po njegov«11 mnenju nsjbolj privlačne za mladino. Mladim članom ali novim kandidata«* za pristop v jednoto bi lahko — če bi imel potrebno podlago — tolmačil vrednost in važnost bratske podporne organizacije, kakor tudi različne vrste certifikate, ki jih jed-nota izdaja za člane obeh oddelkov. Koder so organizirani mladinski krožki, bi lahko služil mladinakim direktorjem v pomoč z dobrimi nasveti in zdravimi navodili, ae posvetoval kaj in kako bi se dalo boljše in uspešnejše poživeti omenjeno mladinsko gibanje, kakor mladinske aktivnosti pri društvih na splošno. Tako bi te kajpada od časa do časa moral tudi posvetovati z ostalimi Člani društvenega, odbora in upoštevati njihova priporočile sli nasve-ta, če bi ga prepričali, da so dobri in koristni za Splošni dobrobit članstva ter organizacija. . S tam- so v glavnem orisane dolžnosti in delo, katero je v smislu 112. A točke pravil, ki jih je odobrila 13. redna konvencija, dolo* čene za "ravnatelja mladinakih aktivnosti". Omenjeni društveni odbornik bamoral biti pri lokalnih društvih izbran izmed članov nove generacije, toda kot smo poučeni, se to ni dalo v mnogih slučajih izvesti iz razloga, ker mladina ne poeeča društvenih sej, ali se vobče malo zanima za društveno življenja.

Kol načelnik generalnega štaba se je general Marsha* voini nedyomno izkazal kot velik yojaški genij, kaitiurganjpfanji, moderno opremljenje in izvežbanje tajco ogromne armade kot jO te ustvarja Amerika po Hitlerjevem zanetšnju svetovnega požari! in jo postavila na bojišča križeip sveta sigurno ni bila majhna stvar, marveč najbolj gigantična ndloga. Olavno odgovornost pri organiziranju in vodstvu te ogromne vojne mašlne je nosil general Marshall, kakor tudi imel odločilno besedo pri določanju boj n* strategije. O njegovi veliki vojaški in diplomatski sposobnosti torej ni nobenega dvoma. ; Toda v tem primeru gre za nekaj drugega, ln sicer ne za kakšnega visokega generala, ki si je spletel kot načelnik generalnega Štaba nevenljive zaaluge, marveč vre za politično usmerjenost naj močnejle vojaške in gospodarske sile na svetu. Gre za militarizi-ranje državnega departmenta, ameriške zunanje politike, sploh yse dežele. * To jo* neizbežen pomen, neizbežen vtis, Id ga mor» dobiti vsak jjektiven opazovalec. Kadar tako mogočna sila kot j» Amerika vodstvo svoje zunanje politike v roke profesionalnemu mi-1, v tem primeru svojemu najvišjemu generalu, tedaj je to lo vsemu svetu, da j» naslonila vso svojo politiko na—ve gorjačo, na miltarizem. Zunanji svet bo to tudi tako razumel, je že razvidno iz prvih glasov, ki so prišli iz Evjrope kot odmev Marshallovo imenovanje za zunanjega ministra. Potrebno Je* to razume tudi šm0rilko ljudstvi ' * t Dviganje vojaškega in militarističnega vpliva v Washingtonu, posebno pa v državnem departmentu se že dalj časa opala. Ameriški poslanik v Moskvi je na primer general, prav tako v Belgiji, flavno besedo na Japonakem ln v Koreji ima general McArthur, i ameriški okupacijski coni v Nemčiji in Avstriji pa general Clay. Slednje se sicer ds opravičevati ln je brez civilne okupacijake Vlade tudi neizbežno. Toda pomen tega je širjenje in utrjevanje militarističnega vpliva v visoki vladni politiki, tako v notranji kot mnanji. Nekateri tolmačijo vea ta razvoj kot posledica "pomanjkanja" zmotnih civilnih diplomatov. Zato ae baje administracija tud bolj in bolj zsteks k profesionalnim milltaristom. Tako tolmačenje j» seveda zelo mršavo. Dejstvo je, da je Amerika zadnja leta ustvarila mogočen vojaški aparat vsled vojnih potreb. Uštvarila j» celo armado generalov in drugih višjih oficirjev. Lani, to pravi leto dni po porazu oalšča, je kongres pristal na zahtevo ge- iralnega štaba in zvišal rodni oficirski kor za 100';i—od 25,000 na ,000 stalnih višjih čaatolkov. V « , Ker ao vai oficirji dobro plačani in žive kot pravi arlatokratl po ekskluzlvnih oficirskih klubih ter jim je zagotovljena tudi maatna penzija, je naravno, da a» hoče ves ts aparat obdržati na krmilu pri polnih vladnih koritih. In da ai zagotove svoj položaj, svo; vpliv, je naravno, da bodo akušali dobiti čim več oblasti v svoj« rtke. Zato ao ai v Pentangon Buildtngu ustvarili "mašino " pred katero ae trenejo kongresniki in senatorji, kakor tudi marsikaj yiadni načelnik. Največji vpliv pa imajo v Beli hiši, ki bolj in V postaja privesek Pentangon Buildlnga, njih glavnega stena. + if* Zadnje nI nobeno prazno domnevanje ali gola propaganda, mar-veČ brutalno dejstvo.

Društvo 138 SNPJ je v mesecu novembru izgubilo dva člana. Dne 8. novembra Je umrl Matt Ahačič, 23. nov. pa Martin Mo-horčič. Podrobnosti so bile že poročane v listu. Društvo 138 je pri pogrebih stoodstotno sodelovalo, tako da sta bila dostojno pokopana. Naše ženske, ki so organizirane v gospodinjskem klubu dru šiva 133, so imele v mesecu oktobru vinsko trgatev, katera je uspela zolo dobro. Na priredbi smo videli znane obraze iz raznih bližnjih naselbin. Ob priliki bomo vrnili poset. Naša podružnica 55 SANSa je v decembru odposlala $800 sa otroško bolnišnico V Sloveniji, To je bila že tretja odpošiljatev.

Umrla je naša mati Mary Progar, roje na Mali, v starosti 90 let »n irie-sec dni. Pokojnica je bila rojena v Prečni, občina Bršlin pri Novem meatu na Dolenjakem. Tukaj zapušča tri sinove iti tri hčere, izmed katerih je ena moja žena Rozi, ter 39 vnukov in 30 pravnukov.

Hvala tudi Louiau Bartlu ln ženi, ki sta namesto venca darovala $5 za otroško bolnišnico v Sloveniji. Vsota Je bila izročena na pristojno mesto. Ko sem se pred nekaj meseci ponorčeval, da so mati bolj gibčni kot hči Rozi, ki je najmlaj-za v družini, aem govoril reeni-co, vedel pa sem, kadar človek pričakuje 90. rojstni 'dan, vsa jgbénost ne more tekmovati s časom.

Zadnjih 19 let sva bila soseda kot trgovca in reči moram, da sva se dobro ra zumela kot trgovska kolega, žalostna vest o njegovi smrti je nas vse presunila, največji udarec pa je seveda za pokojnikovo družino. Umrl je 5. januarja zjutraj. Imel je navado, da je s prijatelji igral karto in tako je Šel v soboto večer med prijatelje in se vrnil domoV pozno v noč ter legel k počitku, a zaspal je za vedno. Zanj je bila to najslajša smrt, a toliko večji udarec za družino in osttle: sorodnike. Nas vse je presenetila Žf-lostna vest, kajti pokojnik je bil dodobra udomačita in postaneta aktivna člana. Pri naa nimamo že zadnjih nekaj lot veliko bolnikov, zakar se štejemo srečni. Na bolniški Ji-" sti so sedaj: Louis ¿Cosmac, Joseph Lustik in Cilka Ôtritof. Vsem tem želimo hitrega okre-i vanja!

Ker bo to zborovanje začrtalo organizaciji smernice za bodoče delovanje, je neobhodno potrebno, da dobimo boljše stike s staro domovino, in da bi naši zastopniki na tahčnb proučili tamkajšnje raz mere, kar jim bi omogočilo^da bi bili na zboru korripetentni odgovarjati ha razna vprašanja.

Imenik tiskamo v posebni knjižici vsako leto že zadnjih šestnajst lat. Tiskati ga nameravamo seveda tudi letos, ker je to dobra knjižica in je važno, da jo imajo pri roki vsaj društveni uradniki. In tiskali jo bomo, kakor hitro imamo na roki vse naslove. Od urad-nikov društev so večinoma že v redu, manjka nam jih pa šg od federacij, ki zborujejo kasneje, večinoma šele ta mesec in zato moramo čakati. Da se pa ta stvar le preveč ne zavleče, prosimo tajnike federacij, da nam sporoče imena in naslove svojih uradnikov za leto 1947 čim prej mogoče. Kooperacija je tudi tukaj na mestu. March of Dimea z današnjim dnem se je začela kampanja, znana kot "March of Dimes," ki se vrši pod avspicijo narodne organizacije z imenom National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis in bo trajala od 15. do 31. januarja, kakor običajno vsako leto. Kaj je namen te organizacije, ime že samo pove. In ker se je pojavilo pretečeno poletje veliko večje število slučajev, je pobijanje te bolezni tudi stalo veliko več denarja in bo letos treba zbrati precej večji sklsd kot prejšnja leta, da bo mogoče s pobijanjem uspešno nsdsljevati. Načelstvo te organizacije prosi, da našemu članstvu to sporočimo in kako potrebno je to delo, kar seveda drage volje storimo. Menda ni potrebno, da tukaj posebno povdarjamo, kako nevar-l na bolezen je otroška paraliza, in to ne samo za otroke, temveč tudi za odrasle. Menda nihče ni izvzet. Narodna organizacija za pobijanje te bolezni torej vrši veliko dobro delo in največ s prispevki po deseticah ali "dajmih," kakor se tudi kampanja imenuje. In ker je veliko humanitarno delo te organizacije zelo važnega pomena tudi za nas—za vsskegs poedinca in jednoto kot tako—se bomo gotovo tudi mi vsi dobrohotno odzvali, vsak vsaj s ksko de-satico, če ne več!— I Pošljite ta "Posebno I Ponudbe"' Kupon — Soda) I □ Priloženo Je 11.00.

Slovene Natl Benefit Society in 44th Year of • Fraternal Service-1904-1947 PRO ENGLISH SECTION Help to Increase Our Juvenile And Adult Membership WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 15, 1947 For Members of Slovene National Benefit Society and American Slovenes PAGE riVE STRABANE PIONEERS STRABANE, Pa—On Sunday evening, Jan. 5, Lodge 589 held their firat monthly meeting of 1947 and a good attendance was present. If such an attendance and the fine enthusiasm and fraternal spirit continues. 1947 will undoubtedly be a banner year for the Pioneers. All incoming officers for 1947 were sworn in by Mildred Barnes in the absence of Pres. Max Chesnic. after which Frank Tomsic took over the presidential duties and conducted the remainder of the meeting. Besides attending to regular business, six new members were added to our membership, five transfers and one new member, bringing the total to 211 adults and 130 juveniles, or a totfj of 411 membeip. Our lodge has been adding new members each month and has shown excellent progress in building up our membership. As an aid to. further attract new members to the SNPJ, our lodge decided to conduct a more athletic program this year and a committee consisting of Rudolph Krulce. Frank Podboy, Jane Kesnowski and Frank Kaminski was elected. This committee will plan a more active athletic program that will benefit our members and also be an attraction for new members. Another incentive to create more activity among members was the creation of an entertainment committee. This committee will put on various social affairs at different times throughout the year. We sure that with the cooperation bf the members, the year will be a big success in social activities for all members. If you haven't been too active in the past, start the year off right, attend all meetings and social affairs of Lodge 589. Just to tip you off. you will really be sur prised at the first two affairs being planned. All we can say is to watch the Prosveta for further details and to attend our next meeting on Feb 2nd. To enable more membert to be come active in committee work, the entertainment committee was elected for a period of six months Elected for the first period are El sie Kosmach, Frances Zele, Frances Ahacic, Jane Kesnowski, Harry Kaminski, Carl Podboy and James Podboy. All are young, active lodge members and you can be sure the first half year will find the social calendar of the Pioneers filled up The monthly two dollar award was won by Joseph Vercek Jr. While on the subject of social activities, wc might inform our members that for an evening of fun and fine entertainment they should visit our SNPJ Club. There aro some fine impromptu floor shows put on by any of those present. There are amateur nights like you've never seen. It's all good clean fun and those of you who haven't spent a good evening at the club are really missing something, There is some fine talent among our members and you would be surprised how soon an orchestra is formed and providing music for your dancing pleasure. And if you like to participate in any of these pleasant affairs, drop around to the club «on weekends. You'll have loads of fun and an evening well spent. * Pioneer Patter Two teams of Pioneers' bowlers participated in the duckpin tourney at Carrick and as in past years, lack of practice in duckpins kept the teams from making a better showing. Right now Pioneer bowlers are looking forward to the National Tourney in Chicago ... We must say a word of praise about a new member of ours, who really can play an kccordion, Joe Terpin. A swell, likeable fellow, Joe plays every Sunday evening at the club. We hope that Stanley Bunevich who is ill, will soon be well and about again . . . Last Sunday at the club, we really saw a band that topped "Spike Jones". Joe Terpin on the accordion. Joe Yarkosky on the violin, with assitsance of Bill Tomsic. Carl Podboy on a new type Plastic trombone, assisted by Joe Novak, who was the vocalist. Ray Yarkosky on the baas and Cummy Kaminski on the cello, and the fang aided by Steve Yarkosky. promoter. They really did a swell job in keep in* everyone in a cheerful mood. Did you know that the Pioneers have two Mildred Podboys. three Mary Progars, two Tony Progars. two Frank Tomates, two Wm. Tom-■»« in the lodge? The dance floor has been sanded and will be in good shape for future dance« . . . Remember the membership campaign our lodge has s tew years ago, with a used cai nated b "omsk. as a prise for THE ANSWER TO: "WHAT IS THE SCOPE OF JUVENILE DIRECTOR'S WORK?" . To the queries of lodge secretaries as to reasons why the, last convention increased the lodge officers',staff by adding a "Director for Juvenile Activities," I feel that some explanation is necessary. The time is approaching, when the American born children of members and others enrolled in our Society, will sooner or later take over important responsibilities in our local lodges, in view of the fact that those holding present positions for many years, will by natural processes be forced sooner or later to give them up. Generally, the interest for fraternal organizations founded by our immigrants is sadly lacking among our youth today. It is, then, vitally important that one person in the lodge be appointed to the post of preparing our youth for the responsibilities of lodge work. This was the paramount reason that the "Juvenile Director" was added to the lodge staff. The work and responsibilities of thi$ officer were designated as follows: To organize and promqte various activities among the youth in his locality, especially to enhance the interest for better cooperation on the part of our yfung members at various affairs and other lodge or Society functions. The juvenile director could prepare plans for suitable programs of social, cultural arid athletic activities, such as he deemi necessary and in his opinion seem most attractive to our youth ih the Society. To the younger members or prospective candidates for membership he could, If he were acquainted, explain the value and necessity of a fraternal beenfit organization, as well as various types of certificates which the Society issues to the members of both departments. Wherever the juvenile circles are organized, he could help the circle managers by giving sound advice and good opinions; talk over the plans for improvement and more effective means for encouragement of juvenile activities in lodges and Society generally. Occasionally, he would confer with the rest of the lodge Officers and consider their suggestions and advice, if he were convinced that they are good and for the benefit of the membership and the organization. These are the highlights of the duties and work which the 13th regular convention approved in the form of article 112-A of the Society's by-laws, for the "Director of juvenile Activities." This lodge officer should really be selected from the membership representing our younger generation in local lodgas, although as we have learned, this could not have in some instances been exec uted, because youth in the lodges either do not attend lodge meet ings, or they don't display sufficient interest in the lodge activi ties.

BOWLING BITS By J. J. Spils* * CLEVELAND, Ohio.—Happy days ire here again!

Squaring off with the tough Lunder-Adamlc Sharpshooters, Shorty snd his mates did a Mart bit 01 pin toppling to upset the Hotshots in sll hree encounters.

"Slamming" John Sirncic bore the brunt of the Lunder's attack with a 625 series, third best btttot in the individual racket. ' Th« Utopian 1-Loyallte 4 clash ssw the Rod-Shirt Raiders on top in two gruelling affairs. The Pacemakers triumphed easily enough in the first fray but hadf to turn on the steam to cop the second match by 10 pins. The final fight waé an all-out brawl with the Loyalites stsv Ing off a torrid Red-Shirt finish to. snag the. gema also by 10 sticks, 050 to 04a The tostare highlights of that last encounter wore Frank Ja godnik's aod Joe Matthews' 224 scores.

"S isn't PROSVETA WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 15, 1947 An Old Southern Custom By TR1S COFFIN WaMhington —The grimy and somewhat incoherent story of Mississippi politics drawled into microphones propped up on a desk in the Senate caucus room is a clear warning of how easily democracy can degenerate into a sordid racket. These hearings before the Senate War Investigating Committee were described by one awed Congressional Secre- tary aa "a postgraduate course in how to make politics pay." I counted ten different ways in which the shrunken little Mississippi Senator is alleged to have collects funds or other things of value without, apparently, running afoul o'f federal law. Violations of Mississippi law were shrugged off by witnesses as of no importance. The various donors, according to statements made to the committee, were war contractors, who put up« the "heavy sugar," patronage appointees. business men who had been assisted in priorities, and even an elderly drug addict. Bilbo's former secretary. Ed Terry, testi fied that the Senator had him draw UP a list of 100 names from whom they might solicit funds. The trail of that mysterious quality, "influence." wandered over Washington, through the War Department Justice Department. Bureau of Narco-tiec. and War Production Board. According to Terry. Senator Bilbo tried to get the Department of Justice to call off its prosecution of Abe Shushan, Huey Long lieutenant, and appealed to the Commissioner of Narcoticea to give a Natchez dope fiend a permit for two grains of morphine a day. The Shushan deal had a highly legal flavor. Abe "lent" Bilbo $3,000. and the Senator gave him his note for it.. Whin Bilbo was unsuccessful In his efforts with the Justice Department, Shushan is alleged to have threatened to "sell" the note to Bilbo's political opponents. In the narcotics case Terry accused Bilbo of accepting f 1.500 to arrange for the addict to get his morphine. The Bilbo operations were conducted vaguely, and without incriminât lag records, by a few cro-nies. It was not until one of them, Ed Terry, had a falling out with the gr.ng that the facts came into the open. Senator Bilbo's role in the combine was that of vote-getter, Bilbo haa stayed in office, election after election, despite frequent chargea of corruption, through his rabble-rous-ing talents and the indifference of the ao-called "respectable" element In his state. The legal brains of the outfit was Porrast Jackson, the sharp and pefaonable Bilbo protege. Ed Terry and Bob Candy were the confidential operatives. They solicited, collected, and paid money and made backroom arrangements. One reporter at the hearing described Terry's day of testimony as "Terry and the pirates." The promoter and organizer wag A. B. Friend, the husky and bluff war contractor and Bilbo campaign manager. Architecte interested In the nrnposod Washington municipal stadium went to Friend for a cooperative deal. Bilbo was chairman of the Senate District of Columbia Committee. This small group composed the informal committee which was act up in 1042 allegedly to support the candidacy of Wall Doxcy for reelection to the United States Senate. The committee was so informed that it kept no records and had no bank account or treasurer, Bilbo kept thousands of dollars given him by war contractors, supposedly for the Doxev campaign, upder his pillow. The largest donor was the war contractor "Big Boy" Newton, who toascd In 128,000. (Doxcy testified that he knew nothing about thta alleged contribution to his rampalgn.) Bilbo, Jackaon, and Gandv have all been vague about how this money was distributed—when, where, and how much. The Informal committee offered a way for Senator Bilbo to receive thousands of dollars which cannot now be pinned down aa illegal pavmenta by a war contractor to a politician in return for his "Influence." Another of the Senator's scheme« for raiaing money waa to aoliclt contributions for the Juniper Creek Baptist Church, which Is located on his property He waa the custodian of the church funds and the church's actual owner. He also aoHclted funds for the parsonage, a houae with five bathrooms and eight bedrooms. The current paator, "Brother" Smith, has built hts own home neiir the church, thus raisin« the question whether he ever hoped to live In the gorgeous personal« Another Bilbo project was aettlne up a fund to pay hia alimony. 1< was for this purpoae that the Shushan "loan" was arranged The Senator's former private secretary testified she was fired when her fathet refused to share In this "charity.1 One war contractor. Miko Morris •ey. had his own little wav of expressing hts appreciation for errv ices rendered him by Bilbo. Moins aey took over the operation Af the Senator's farms for four years at a loas of I4S.OOO He gave hia friend a Cadillac for a Chrlstmaa present and con»tructed a lake for him. Other « asv-spending henefartors gave Bilbo furniture f<* hia "drtam house no 1" The txrys also chipped In to defrav extra ripnwi in Bilbo's Well ington office They oftrn lent him money with no intention of trying to eollsct it. A politician set una about délibérât* ly to shake down persons far whom he mtftht do favors could *ei many pointera from three hr a rings on Capitol Hill In each eaae pretexted to the Senate committee element if miming to prove conclu-alvely that Bilbo or his associates wining money out of war contractors or others. The Internal Revenue Department has been trying for almost a year to build up a case against Bilbo gang on income tax evasion. But. at least in the hearing. it haa been extremely difficult to figure out how much money was received, how it was spent, and for what purpose. It is also difficult to determine which of the different sets of witnesses is lying and which is telling the truth. The moat damning testimony against Bilbo the man was given by the Senator himself. It was no proof of corruption or crookedness, but it showed a atrange indifference to moral issues. Senator Ferguson was questioning Bilbo about money Terry collected from a Louisiana gambler. He said. "You knew he (Terry) had the money, and where he got It—from a gambler." Bilbo answered. "Well, he got the money. I didn't care who it w^s he gqt it from." At another point Ferguson compared the $25.000 Bilbo obtained from Newton with a small sum collected by Terry. Bilbo commented proudly, "Ah'm a good collector. Ah'm a better collector than Terry." About the gift of the Cadillac, the Missimippi Senator instructed Ferguson condescendingly: "It's lust up old Southern custom. Let him that is without sin cast the first stone." Of the' charge that he worked energetically to obtain lucrative contracta of the coat-plus, fixed-fee vsriety for members of his gang, Bilbo said virtuously, "I have done no more than has been done by practically all my colleagues in the Senate." In his written statement he aaid blandly of a contractor, "Bcrnie Friend is a great organizer, an excellent engineer, and a hightoned Christian gentleman. I ought to know his ability becauae he has successfully managed two of my campaigns for United States Senate." The rest of his defense, which both Ferguson and Mead mid had no bearing on the hearing, was that Negroes and Communists were trying to persecute him. Ho also claimed that payments to him were "loans' which he will repay. Every day Senatora not on the committee were sitting back in the c.'i-iurs of the large chamber. Some are frankly awed by this testament. One freshman from a state long noted for its clean politiea murmured. "Thia certainly is educational." —The Nation. Spot For the Cash In a brief but perilous foray a little band of English soldiers had brought considerable glory to their regiment. Now; before the regiment, and a distiguished company of visitors, they stootf to be decorated for their valorous service. But sorrcthing new had been added. The commanding general, an extremely rich old gentleman, was supplementing the government awards by personally placing in the bank in London a one hundred pound note to the credit of each hero. , The awarding of tho medals went on apace, until the General cam« to a big Irishman namod Moriarity. Well, Moriarity," mid the General. "I pin on your chest this medal frorr a grateful government, and in the bank I place a hundred pound note to your credit. What do you cay to that?" "Well, sir." replied Moriarity, "if it don't make any difference to yoy, pin the not« to my chest and place the medal in the bank." Schwellenbach Names Aides For Puerto Rico, Alaska Washineton.

Jugoslavs in Czechoslovakia By Maurice Hindu* A group of 150 Jugoslav boys, from 14 to 17 years of age—all orphans. all former partisans, nearly all peasants—have come to Zlln (about 150 miles southeast of Prague) to make themselves experts in the various industries for which this Czech town is noted. They are among 3,000 Jugoslav boys whom Czechoslovakia has undertaken to educat« in th« industrial arts and sciences in its highly developed industrial and scicntific institutions. I passed two evenings with these boys, and mor« mature, more politically minded youths I have met nowhere in Czechoslovakia. Though of mirthful diapoaition and given | to sports, dancing and music they almost overwhelm one with the decisiveness of their opinions and the earnestness of (heir ambitions. 'What are you going to do when you finish your education here?" I asked. "Go back to develop our country, which our kings and our Mihailo-vitchea were ready to mortgage to foreign powers," said a muscular boy of fifteen. "You see," began a tall, handsome Montenegrin, who is the official adviser of the group. "Jugoslavia ia one of the-richest countries in Europe. Next to Finland, we have more forests than shy other European nation. we have gold, ailver and the choicest iron ore in the world. Our copper mines are well known everywhere. And such pasture lands as we hsvet Such wheat lands! And the fat pigs that we raise, the fruits that we grow, the endless water-' falta that we have for electric power! But our kings and Mihailovitches would rather have had foreigners come in to exploit our resources than educate their own people into developing them." "That's finished now." he contlr nued. "Only our people, with their own sweat, are going to develop thier own God-given wealth ao they can enrich, not foreigners, but themselves." "That's why we're here." remarked a diminutive lad with flaxen hair and lightly frcckled face. "How old are you?" "Fourteen," he replied, smiling. "For five years he was a partisan in Marshal Tito's (Premier Josip Broz's) army," Interjected Snother, a dark-haired youth with classical features, who was the only Mohammedan in the group. "He carried messages across enemy lines," explained the tall Monte-neorin. "His1 fothcr and mother were killed in the war." There was so much anti-British sentiment among them that I asked what wero their grievances against Great Britain. "Don't misunderstand us," replied one of the oldest boys, the only one indulging in the masculine prerogative of growing a mustache. "We aren't against the British people." "No! No!" a burst of voices interrupted. "Wo were only against the British reactionaries," resumed the mus-tached youth. "Are you anti-American?" I aaked. "No! No!" came a chorus of voices. "We're only against reactionaries everywhere," said the Mohammedan boy. "The American people we respoct and honor." said the boy with the mustache. "But wc don't like to see them fall for British propaganda against us. British reactionaries cannot forgive us our refuaal to take back th« king (former King Peter II., who waa deposed when Tito pro claimed a federal republic laat Nov. 20) ao th«y could go on «xplolling our natural riches for their own l>«nefit "Why do they refuse to extradite Ante Pavelltch (Croat Fasclat lesd • r)?" asked the only boy with distinctively broad Slavic featurea "Didn't he ally himself with Muaao-I nl and Hitler against his own peo-and the AllieaT^^^^^H^fl "But you want to be sur« and say w« have no quarrel with the Britiah or any other people anywhere." aald another youth, more Greek than Slavic in appearance. "How do you like living In Cae-choalovakia?" I asked "Fine.'' mid the mustachcd youth. "Only they cat too much potatoes and gravy here."

United States representative on the United Nations Atomic Energy Commission, in a statement made before the Commission's working committee: "If contrsrv to its solemn agreements. a nation in violation of the terms of the (proposed) tresty (for atomic control) seizes a plant or some fissionable material or commits some other major breach, the administrative body will ba obliged to bring this to the sttention of the nations and to the attention of the Security Council.

Our then unorganized or only organized, were signed up. membership trebled. Workers imppved their economic position during ths war. They had steady work and over-time pay. Through their organizations they could talk back to the job-owners. With war's end. a change began. Wages were "too high." Workers were "too independent." Unions were "running the country." They must be "put back where they belong." Well-to-do people who used such phrases never knew or else forgot that big business owns virtually the whole U.S.A non-agricultural econ-onmy, that it owns and controls the means of shaping public opinion, that Jt consolidated its power and multiplied its profits during the war, that its representatives operate the government, that during the entire war period no single representative of labor secured so much as one important "polies -making Job anywhere in the fédéral government. What they meant was that labor should be pushed back to the position it occupied before 1032. Labor met the challenge by demanding that the take-home peace-I time pay should have a purchasing power equal to that of war-time. asked wage increases to match •price increases. Some even went so -fat at t6 ask that wage increases depend upon the capacity of job owners to pay the increased wages without raising prices. They supported their demands with large-scale strikes in autos,' steel, coal, electric power, rails. The money raises they got as a result of theae strike efforts were more than cancelled out by priqp increases between June and December of 1946. When the business interests forced the Truman administration to abandon the O.P.A. in October-November. a series of steep price boosts began. Organized labor retorted with new wage demands. The C.I.O., at its Atlantic City convention, formulated the new demands politely. The formulation was preceded by an ultra-datriotie resolution and followed by President Philip Murray's flag-waving speech of Nov. 22. John L. Lewis beat the C.I.O. to the punch. While Philip Murray was waving the flag, Lewis's 400.000 miners came out of pits. The next cycle of Itrikes had begun. )■ »" e For many years I have heard a lot of; things about John L. Lewis. Some were complimentary; others the reverae. In general the ruling Class and the middle clam denounced him. Rebels and revolutionaries ,were also anti-Lewi*. One thing I do know, however. When John L. Lewis began his long period of leadership with the United Miners, the organization was scattered an weak. Company towns abounded in which miners were not cxactly serfs, but certainly not first-Class citizens. Pay was low. Work was dangerous. Life in the mining camps was hard. Through the years the U.M.W., under Lewis's leadership, hss not only raised wages and improved working conditions, but has welded the miners into one of the best-dis-ciprined labor unions in the world. After Lewis and Krug failed to get together and Lewis announced that the contract was terminated, imagine the effect in the mine bampa of the federal directive to thé miners to go on working. When the federal' notices went up, the miners quit, days before the time specified for the stoppage. Said one miner for publication: "I am not quitting becauae ' John Lewis said So: When I read that government hotice. I knew that there was one thing for me to do. That was to go home."

John Lewis and Philip Murray grab in the name of labor. Of course it is a lawless game. When was the jungle struggle for wealth and power anything else? There is one great difference between the business leaders and the labor leaders. The business leaders, controlling legisuatures. courts and executives, have state protection for their grabbing. Their job-owning power to grab is supplemented by injunctions, police, sheriffs and the military. Consequently, they are able to grab more and keep more. President Truman made that clear, when he clapped an injunction on Lewis and U.M.W. Compared with Ford, Luce & Co. and their take between 1939 and 1046. Lewis, Murray & Co. are the merest pikers. Ford and Luce have got away with a huge five-course dinner, while Lewia and Murray are now having their knuckles rapped for trying to pick up a few extra crumbs. ••" a AS I STARTED TO SAY. British and U.8.A economy are up against some real difficulties. While Hitler Was around, they blamed him. Now that Hitler is out ot the picture, they are trying to shoulder the load onto Stalin. But anyone who goes to the grocery store, or trim to find a gopd job, -or studies the federal budget, knows that poor Joe Stalin, busy with home affairs five thousand miles away, cannot possibly be running U.S.S.R, A. St P., du Pont and the Federal Budget Bureau all at the same time. It. is too much to ask for any human. The trouble must lie nearer home. Maybe President Truman will find out what is wrong. / Again, maybe President Truman does not know what is wrong. In that case, somebody else must find out fairly soon. Otherwise, we shall be sinking into the slime of another Great Depression snd then lifting ourselves out of it by manufacturing atom bombs and dumping them on the homes, schools and hospitals pf "the enemy," in the name of "Christian civilization" Snd for the profit of big business. e NOT A PLEASANT OUTLOOK, is, it? And yet. if the same forces that produced the Great Depression of the 'thirties and the Great War of the 'forties continue to operate through the 'fifties and 'sixties and are aimed toward the same objectives, what other outcome can you expect? What an odd, errstic and unpredictable world it would be if like causes did not produce like effects. Perhaps, after all. if we do not approve of the effects of the present social order, as expressed in free-booting, insecurity, depression and war, we shall be compelled to modify those causes. The present social order is not necessarily permanent, it has been altered considerably since 1917. Further shifts are in order until the social aet-up produces cooperation, adequacy and regularity in income, tolerance, understanding and universal goodwill. the labor organizations have no choice. Free enterprise is a system of frebooting under th« slogan, "He who graba first gets most" Fre«-enterprisers are - grabbers.

"Nop«,'' was the reply. "A ahot-gun?" "Nope." "A sling-shot?'' "Nope." ... "Then tell me how you got him," insisted the Easterner. "Wal, stranger," the native replied, "it's kind of a trade-secret, but I don't mind telltn' ya.
