De- JfUmanOV OSeblll legacije iz osemnajstih držav mu zagotovile podporo Chicago, 30. dec.—Henry A. Wallace, bivši podpredsednik in trgovinski tajnik, je sinoči v svojem govoru po radiu naznanil, da bo kandidiral za predsednika Združenih držav na listi tretje stranke, ki še ni ustanovljena. Odločitev je težak udarec predsedniku Trumanu in demokratski stranki. Izgleda ni, da bo Truman izvoljen za predsednika pri volitvah v prihodnjem novembru, če bo tretja stranka prišla na glasovnico v državah kot so New York, Illinois in California. V svojem govoru je označil demokratsko stranko kot stranko vojne in depresije in naglasi!, da je prišel čas za ustanovitev nove stranke, ki bo vodila boj proti vojnim hujskačem. "Nocoj naznanjam, da bom neodvisen kandidat za predsednika Združenih držav," je dejal. Wallace je dal razumeti, da se je odločil za ta korak po izjalovit vi razgovorov med njim in voditelji demokratske stranke. Skušali so ga obdržati v stranki, zaeno pa so odklonili njegove pogoje. V bistvu so mu povedali, da hočejo njegovo podporo, toda politike ne bodo revidirali. "Voditelji demokratske stranke niso odgovorili samo mani, temveč tudi vetrn državljanom, ki si prisvajajo pravico do glasovanja o miru in prosperitetl," je rekel Wallace. "Ameriškemu ljudstvu hočejo odvzeti priliko do izbire med napredkom in reakcijo v prihodnjem letu. Glede republikanske stranke ni nobenega upanja. Kadar stari stranki gnijeta, ima ljudstvo pravico do izražanja svojega mnenja preko tretje stranke. To priliko bo dobilo pri volitvah prihodnje leto." ( Wallace je orisal pogoje, katere je predložil voditeljem demokratske stranke, ki so apeliral« nanj, naj ostane v stranki m podpira Truhnana. Ti so bili: Zavrženje programa obveznega vojaškega vežbanja Odstranitev wallstreetske klike, ki skuša potisniti Ameriko v tretjo svetovno vojno. Omejitev oblasti monopolistov in profitov. Ohranitev življenskcga standarda ameriškega ljudstva.

TO IN ONO San Francisco, Calii.—V Prosveti št. 241 je polno zanimivih novic, ki dajo človeku misliti. Na prvi strani opazimo, da ima SNPJ oz. njeno glasilo Proeveta boj s klerikalci, kar za stare naseljence ni nič novega. Spro-minjam se, kako so nekateri duhovniki bruhali ogenj iz sebe, da uničijo prvi napredni list Glas Svobode, ker se je boril proti kapitalizmu in za boljše delavske razmere. Zopet so4 se pojavili ljudje brez sramu Jn poštenja do sebe in naroda. 'Sline se jim cedijo po krvavo prisluženih dolarjih, ki smo jih prihranili za stara leta našega članstva. Ni moj namen vtikavati se v stvari, ki niso meni v korist ali škodo. Vsak delavec se mora dnevno boriti za obstanek življenja, zato je nespametno, da drug drugemu grenimo Življenje in s tem mladini kažemo napačno pot življenja. Kakor urednik piše, je to boj vseh delavcev, zato je naša dolžnost, da se skupno borimo, da nazadnjaki ne uničijo naših naprednih listov. To bi pomenilo, da je tudi v Ameriki izginila tiskovna svoboda. Listi, ki pišejo resnico in se borijo za pro-letarske pravice, so nekaterim trn v peti. Kaj bi Kristus rekel, ako bi se vrnil in slišal, k*j učijo njegovi namestniki. Ko se je učenik poslavljal od svojih apostolov, jim je ponovno poudarjal, da se ljubijo med seboj. Eden izmed apostolov mu je rekel: "Učenik, kaj nam to vedno pripoveduješ?" Učenik pa mu je odgovoril: "Zato, ker vam je edino to potrebno! Ako se boste ljubili med seboj, bodo narodi Spoznali, da ste moji učenci." Zaeno jim je Kristus tudi vedno priporočal, da ljubijo svojega bližnjega kakor samega sebe. Danes pa nas učijo sovražiti in uničevati lastnino bližnjega. Kdo je torej naš bližnji? Naši bližnji so vsi, ki so se rodili, ne glede na pleme, barvo ali vero. Vsi amo se rodili brez naše vednosti, zato imamo pravico živeti, ne da pripadamo k eni ali drugi veri. Ako človek dela in pošteno živi, je vera prostran-ska stvar, ker od nje nikakor ne fhoretno živeti. Ljudje, ki ho čejo živeti na račun delavskih žuljev, niso pošteni in tudi ne vertijejo kar je Kristus učil, naj se ljubijo med seboj in pomagajo drug drugemu oz. svojemu bližnjemu. * Vsaka vojna nam priča, da so dobro izdelani topovi in puške močnejši in bolj uspešni kakor vsi papežovi žegni. tyikakor ne trdim, da so kritizirali godbo. Well, to ni nič novega! Posebno ne od tistih, ki ne znajo p!e-safi. Seveda, dobra godba dela dosti veselja, ampak če je še tako dobra, pride do neupraviče ne kritike. Poznam godce, ki kritizirajo druge godce, da drugič sami dobijo delo. Noben muzikant ne zna perfektno igrati. sicer ne bi potreboval vsak dan prakse. Nekateri ljudje to tako rojeni, da vedno vidijo svet na glavi. P**sr E. Kurnick. PRVA VESELIQA PROGRESIVNIH SLOVENK Milwaukee. Wis-—Mislim, da je že vsakemu znano, da se je tukajšnje napredno ženstvo organiziralo v krožku Progresivnih Slovenk. Žal mi je, ker mi je bolezen preprečila, da se nisem mogla udeležiti nekaj sej, toda članice so me prišle obiskat na dom v velikem številu, za kar jim prav lepa hvala! Sedaj pa naj poročam, da mi je prišlo na uho, da Progresivne Slovenke tuhtajo, kako bi najbolje postregle gostom na njih prvi veselici, ki se bo vršila zadnjo soboto v januarju. Prosim vas, žene, ne kuhajte večerje tisto soboto, kajti na veselici bo dovolj jedače in pijače za vse. Tudi godba bo izvrstna, kajti i-gral bo sin neke Progresivne Slovenke. Kdo je godec, pa sa-ipi uganite. - Namen Progresivnih Slovenk je pomagati vsaki dobri stvari in napredni akciji, toda predno lahko to vršimo, moramo spraviti skupaj kaj denarja, kajti naša blagajn? je čisto prazna. Potrebno bo, da bomo darovale gotovo vsoto tudi Odboru za svoboden tisk, ki vodi obrambo proti nazadnjakom, ki so nape-reli tožbo proti slovenskim naprednim časopisom. Torej udeležite se veselice velikem številu in ne pozabite pripeljati s seboj svoje može, da bodo vam pomagali gori po stopnjicah do tretjega nadstropja. Na plesu se bodo vsi vrteli, da se bo kar kadilo, samo jaz ne, čemur pa ne bo kriva godba. Na veselo svidenje v soboto, 31. januarja, na zabavi Progresiv nih Slovenk! Mary Rodlch. NEKAJ VAŽNIH NAZNANILI Chicago, I1L—Članicam krož ka Progresivnih Slovenk v Chi cagu se naznanja, da bo po prihodnji redni seji, ki se bo vršila dne 7. januarja 1948, predaval Joško Oven, od katerega lahko pričakujemo, da bo izbral predmet, ki bo zanimiv in tudi pod-učljiv. Po zaključku seje bomo imele tudi nekaj zabave. Ker je precejšno število naših članic včlanjenih tudi pri pod pornem društvu Nadi SNPJ, o-pominjam vso slovensko javnost v Qücagu in okolici, da ne pozabi na soboto dne 7. februarja, na kateri večer se bo vršila veselica društva Nade Št. 102 SNPJ, in sicer v dvorarji Slovenske narodne podporne jednote na Lawndale ave.

Za združenje je glaaovalo 517 članov z 886 del-nicarhi, proti pa 17 članov s 40 delnicami. S tem, da se je toliko število Članov udeležilo glasovanja, je bilo dokazano, da zadruga vzbuja mnogo zanimanja med našimi rojaki v naselbini in da se člani dobro zavedajo, da bo združitev koristila članstvu in zadružnem gibanju *v splošnem. « Co-op Trading zadruga bo sedaj imela neomejeno priliko za razvoj v okraju Lake, članstvo naše zadruge pa bo sedaj pripadalo organizaciji, katera poleg osmih grocerijskih trgovin in mesnic, obratuje veliko mlekarno. pekarijo, kavarno, trgovino električnimi aparati, izdelo-valnico klobas, garažo itd. Te trgovine prodajo za dva in pol do tri milijone dolarjev blaga na leto, kot nam je poročal na združitveni seil naš poalovodja. Združitev alovenske zadruge (No. Chicago Co-op) s Co op Trading stopi v veljavo s 1. januarjem 1948 in s tem dnem se bo Imenovala naša zadruga No. Chicago District of Co op Trsd-inR .

O.—Vsem onim, ki me imajo še vedno radi in mi pošiljajo božična voščila, se lepo zahvaljujem, toda kart ne bom vrnil, ker se s tem več ne ukvarjam. Danes je moj rojstni dan, to t pravi, da je minilo 62 let, odkar sem pričel piti mleko, ka Jj terega pa še vedno rad pijem. To ve tudi Franca Mihevčeva iz Salema, O., čeprav ni bila ona moja mati, ampak za pričo lahko pokliče njene krave. Toda naj povem na kratko: Izogib-ljem se onemu delu, ki ni nujno, ter si tako podaljšujem življenje. Fletno je na tem svetu, čeprav imamo vsakovrstne križe in težave. Čital sem prerokovanja, kak-čen je bil tisti človek, ki je bil rojen na današnji dan. Sreča mu ni bila prinešena na krožniku. Slab tudi ni, rad pa podraži velike domišljavce na drugem koncu mize. On se drži srednje poti, čeprav danes pišejo živi preroki, da srednje poti ni. Na 14. decembra sem se udeležil letne seje društva 53 SNPJ. Udeležba je bila malo večja kot pa na sejah med letom. Začetek seje je bil oglasen ob devetih zjutraj, toda zapisnikar je prišel šele 20 minut po deveti, zato je bilo treba pozneje hiteti. da smo skončali ob dvanajstih. Izvoljeni so bili sledeči odborniki: Predsednik Frank Bar-bič, podpredsednik John šorc, tajnik Joseph Durn, blagajnik John Zaic, zapisnikar Ivančič, prvi nadzornik Frank Završnik, drugi Lamut, tretji Joe Lozar. Podpirali bomo še nadalje organizacijo SANS in Prosvetno matico. • V Prosveti, ki sem jo prejel dan po božiču, sem čital nekakšno jemirijado glede tajnikov in drugih odbornikov, dočim se izdajali Mladinski list v slovenščini z velikimi črkami na prvi strani. Pa se je nekdo domislil, da bi bilo bolje, če bi tiskali list v angleščini in spremenili tudi slovensko ime v angleško. Danes je le še malo slovenskega v tem mladinskem mesečniku, a izhaja prav tako kot prej. Nekaj "časa e bilo malo mrmranja, ali član stvo se je spremembi polagoma privadilo. Tako se bi tudi, ako bi tiskali prvi štiri strani Pro-svete v angleščini. Slišali ste tudi nekaj mnenj glede oglasov. Ti naj ostanejo v sredini številki, saj morajo na-ročevalci oglasov več zanje plačati kot v dnevniku. Prosveta pa^ potrebuje denarja, če ga ne bi; ne bi bila zvišana naročnina. Narobe je edino to, da so vloženi oglasi večinoma na prvih slovenskih straneh, kar vzame precej prostora. Če pa bi tiskali prve-štiri strani v angleščini, bi jih lahko pa vložili na četrti strani angleškega besedila. V naši jednoti imamo veliko število članov drugih narodnostih, ki ne marajo slovenske sekcije Prosvete, če pa se bi glasilo tiskalo na prvih štirih straneh v angleščini, bi se pa potolažili in spregledali, kar ie zavitega znotraj.

Upam, da kako bi pričeli delovati, da bi bom im«l" vso kooperacijo tudi v ČLANSTVU PODRUŽNICE 1 SANSa Detroli. Mlch—Podružnice št. 1 SANSa bo obdržavala sejo drugo nedeljo v januarju mesto prvo, kajti na prvo nedeljo se bo vršila delničarska seja SND. Torej seja podružnice se bo vršila 11. januarja v SND, začetek ob treh popoldne. Danes se nahajamo v resnih časih, zato na tem mestu apeliram na vse, da se gotovo udeležite te važne seje. Potrebno je, da vsi strnemo svoje sile nas, navadne fraternaliste, kliče skupaj in s podvojeno energijo k delu. Kdor je bil kdaj dru-' štveni odbornik ali pa je še, ve, da mora imeti danes jeklene živce, da prenaša razna šikaniranja za "boglonaj". Kaj je glavni vzrok, da danes nasi tajniki nočejo ponovno sprejeti tajniškega urada? V prvi vrsti je vzrok, ker jih plačamo tako slabo, dočim kolek-torji raznih komercialnih zavarovalnih družb dobivajo fiksno plačo, poleg tega pa še procente od zavarovalnine. Letos pa so v Clevelandu agenti privatnih zavarovalninskih družb zastav-.kali za višje plače. Kolikor je meni znano, so naši tajniki zelo slabo plačani. Če pa imajo malo boljše plače, imajo pa opraviti s takimi člani, za katere morajo zalagati asesment. Toda zgodi se, da bi rad tajnik od takega "dobrega" člana nazaj denar, pa morda dobi odgovor: "It is your bad luck that you were paying for me." Že pred leti sem pisal, da dostikrat moj glas zadene na gluha ušesa, namreč večkrat sem 3-peliral, naj bo društveni asesment tak© velik, da pokrije društvene stroške. To je glavna točka društvene blagajne. Najbolj praktično plačevanje društvenega tajnika je na podlagi place od člana. Če se viša število članstva, se zaeno viša tudi tajnikova plača, če pa se število članstva niža, se avtomatično niža tudi plača. Tajnik bi moral dobivati v sedanjih časih približno 15c meseno od člana, tako bi dobival tajnik, čigar društvo šteje 500 članov, $75 mesečno. I>* set centov naj bi šlo pa v društveno blagajno za druge stroške. Za vse dtuge darove raz njjn ustanovam pa se naj bi ko ytfktalo od članov, ki hočejo pod puati take ustan9ve. Če hočeš, (,aj, če ne, pa nel Nekateri tajniki si nalagajo na rame velika bremena, ko pa ne morejo dela zmagovati, pa pravijo po ribniško: "Pa ti popi ¡mi, mene tlači doli!" Kdor J«• tajnik velikega druitva, ima dosti dela. zato naj ne bi spreje mal dela še kje drugje, ¿ko sm' res tako narpdno zavedn» v Am»riki, moramo gotovo imeti tudi dovolj delavcev za narod. Naj delajo malo tudi oni, ki ima Jo vedno na Jeziku PREDLAGAM io in to. Torej kdor kaj predlaga, naj potem tudi pomaga pri delu, ki ga nalaga njegov 1 red log. ^aj pa io nekaj boaed e dvojezičnem glasilu. Najprvo »mo delamo za naše ideale in program. Reakcija bi nam rada vzela še to svobodo, ki nam je ostala. To jasno priča tožba, ki jo je s pomočjo reakcije naperil kaplan Gabrovšek proti Enakopravnosti. Prosveti in Prole-tarcu. Jej, jej, gospod kaplan bi pa res radi čez noč obogateli na račun denarja, ki smo ga spravili skupaj preprosti slovenski delavci v tujini. Upam, d? bi mesto miljončka dobil robec s katerim bi se brisal solze zr ameriškimi dolarčki. Da, da, marsikdo bi rad obo gatel na lahek način. Mi, pre prosti slovenski delavci in delavke, smo prišli v to deželo pred 30 in več leti, toda milijona še nismo videli nikjer drugje kot napisanega na papirju. Sicer pa nam ni za denar, ampak mi, ki smo že toliko žrtvovali delali, garali in doprinesli tudi lastno kri za to deželo, nismo lahkomni po denarju, pač pa želimo sVobddo. Ne, ne pričaku jemo in ne zahtevamo milijone za svoje usluge, ki smo jih doprinesli s svojo pridnostjo in skromnostjo za našo novo domovino, pričakujemo pa svobodo tiska in izražanja. Mi ne smemo mirovati, marveč delati na vse kriplje, da se reakciji okrog A. D. ne posreči nakana. Ameriška vlada bi storila pametneje, ako ne bi takih ljudi pustilo v deželo. Človek, ki ne ljubi drugega kot denar, ni vreden, da živi. Ti ljudje so slovenska naselbina prišla v najkrajšem času do tako potrebnega narodnega doma. Nekateri člani z navdušenjem podpirajo idejo, da bi se za to akcijo zavzela naša federacija in da bi se postav»! dom naših društev. Tak sklep je bil sprejet zadnje poletje in imeli bi pričeti pobirati podpise za vsote, namreč koliko bi bil eden ali drugi pripravljen posoditi za dom. Prav ob istem času pa so pričeli pri stari organizaciji "Slovenski dom" z novim delovanjem za dom, zato so bili nekateri naši člani proti temu, da bi pričeli delovati kar za dva doma, ker se do sedaj ni mogel še eden postaviti, ter se izrazili, naj bi vsa naselbina delovala za zgraditev enega doma. Sedaj pa smo prišli tako daleč, da ne razumemo več drug drugega. Poglejte zapisnik federacijske seje v oktobru, ki je bil priob- bodočnosti.

Zapisnik je pravilno napisan, sklepi pa dajo človeku veliko misliti. Pri društvu 104 SNPJ je bilo soglasno sklenjeno, naj gre federacija svojo pot in deluje za zgraditev lastnega doma. V zapisniku boste dalje čitali, da je društvo 584 tudi za federacijski ali skupni dom, ako pa se ne bo pričelo z delom, bodo pričeli pa sami delovati za svoj dom. Za društvo 764 pa so poročali, da so za skupni dom, ako pa ne bo nič s to akcijo, bo to društvo pa samo kupilo svoj dom. To ooletje sem bil društvenega doma od 8:30 do 8. ure zvečer, Ako pa pade na ta dan praznik ali nedelja, se pa pobiru asesment dan pozneje. Denar za ^sesment lahko pošljete tudi po poŠti.

Na tej seji se bosta druitvi združili nato pa se bodo vršile volitve odbora ¿a L 1948. Torej ta seja je zelo vaina, zato se je naj udeleže vsi člani in članice. * Za druitvi 230 in 250: MUka Pimtsc, tajnica. JobbpIi Yambrovich. tajnik. B«nld. III.—V mesecu novembru je bilo priobčeno v Prosveti vabilo na letno sejo društva 356 SNPJ. Članstvo se je odzvalo v lepem številu, od 85 jih je bilo navzočih samo 13, torej samo odborniki in nekaj drugih članov. Že na treh sejah smo razpravljali glede društvene veselice na starega leta večer, ker pa ni bilo zanimanja od strani članstva, smo stvar opustili. Vendar pa je bilo treba nekaj ukreniti za društveno blagajno, kajti odboru je bila zvišana plača za celih 25 centov, najemnino dvorane za društvene seje pa so'podražili z $12 na $18. Zato je bilo sklenjeno, da mora vsak član in članica plačati za leto 1948 50c izrednega asesmenta. Doklada mora biti plačana do 1. dec. 1948. Toliko v pojasnilo. Anna Wldmar. tajnica.

Letne seje so zelo važne, zato apeliram na društva, da izvolijo dobre zastopnike in jih pošljejo na federacijsko sejo, da skupno začrtamo smernice našega dela v 1. 1948.

First, to mention the Christmas party held by the Women's Lodge 130 on Dec. 16 after their regular monthly meeting. To bring out the Christmas spirit, the table was attractively decorated with a centerpiece and lunch was eaten by candlelight. This lodge is one of the most active, having over 500 members and at every meeting have new applicants. Only last month we accepted 13 new members. This lodge has 260 juvenile members. New officers elected at this meeting were as follows: Mrs. J. A. Am-brozich, president; Mrs. M. Zadko-vich, vice president; Mrs. Frank Frantar, secretary; Mrs. Joseph Krall, treasurer; Mrs. Mathide Roberts, rec. Secretary; trustees, Mrs. J. Semivh, Mrs. A, Russ and Mrs. F. Krall. The Young Americans, Lodge 650, held their meeting on December 18 after which they also had their Christmas party snd dance to which we were invited. From what I observed. they are very conscientious SNPJers and it is their desire to expand although they have over 100 members. The party was carried out in great style. To mention part of the lunch they served would give all a good appetite: potica, ham, cakes, coffee and drinks. They danced to a late hour. Thank you, Lodge 650. I enjoyed being with you. Juvenile Circle No, 48 with the help of our senior Eveleth lodges sponsored an outstanding Christmas party and program on December 21, The following program was presented: Address of welcome, Mrs. J.

Attention is callad to closing entry dates which, this year, are set well in advance of tournament, this to allqpv the local committees plenty of time to arrange schedules and to notify the bowlers when they sre to bowL Bowlers arc warned that the deadline rule will be strictly enfoscad. Another rule with which all'bowlers must comply pertains to eligibility in relationship to membership. This rule provides that no one shall be permitted to bowl unless be has been a member of the SNPJ ninety (90) days or longer (except entrants in the Juvenile Telegraphic Tourney) and is in good standing at the time of the tournament. For example, members sdmitted into the Society on or prior to January 1. 1948. whose asSess men! due is (uUy paid, will be eligible to participate in the Nationel Bowl ing Tournament at Detroit On tbe other hand, members admitted on or alter February 1 will not be eligible. It must be remembered that one does not become a member of the Society on the date ot his scceptance into the local lodge, but on the data of issue of his membership certificate which cannot be earlier than the first day of tbe following month The prize list oí each tournament must be drawn up and published in tbe Official Organ not later than the issue prior to the opening date of tbe tournament, so that all bowlers will have opportunity to acquaint themselves with the number snd amount of prises offered in each event. The prise list in each case shell be drawn up to conform with requirements sat forth by the rules of the National Athletic Board. Further more, prises shall not be distributed among the winners until the eligi bility and sveragas of* the bowlers has been verified. Including aU substi tutions made during and before the toiirnamenL Bowlers and other sport-minded members of the SNPJ. who aaam to be under the impression that the welfare of the Society dependa upon and revolves around sport activities, have another thought coming. Tbe real business of the Society has to do with protection of members and their families in times of sickness, disability, death snd of bar serious emergen cies. followed by educational, social and cultural functions, activities snd affairs. These are bandied through channels provided by lodge meetings held regularly every month at a fixed place and tima. They are made successful by the members who stiend the meetings snd carry out assign meats and by the officers who have sssumed leadership responsibilities to aae that the meetings are properly conducted, that affairs are well organised and publicised, that new members srs enrolled, that the sick are visited, etc. The real progress of the Society, therefore, hinges on the kind of meetings the lodges hsvs with respect to attendance, questions and problems discussed snd decided, snd influence in its community. Without lodge meetings there would he no SNPJ sports. AU who participate in athletic activities should make a note of this fact and resolve to attend meetings more regularly and make a real effort to understand the fundamental aims of the Society in 1948.

Rally Contribute* $14)900 SAN FRANCISCO - (FP) — Indorsement of a third party to return to the people "their common heritage in the government" and "a "voice |n their own political destiny" was voted here by the national executive board of the Intl. Longshoremen's |( Warehousemen's Union (CIO). "We take note of the growing third party movement in many sections of the country," the JLWU statement said. "We note particularly the very constructive role played by the American Labor party in New York state, the strength displayed in a recent election by a third party movement in Chicago and the enthusiasm with which registered voters arc supporting the organizing committee of the projected Independent Progressive party In California. "We also note the growing number pf Democrats dnd others who cry fpr thp election of Henry Wallace, the last pettyocrat of Presidential stature who adheres to the ideals of FDIf. "These ore the stens on the road towards the building of a political union of the common man." ANGELES.- (FP) - Caiifor-nina's accelerating movement to put a third patty on the 194ft ballot took a long step forward at a Shrine auditorium rally attended by 4.000 persons who contributed $141100 and 204 petitions bearing ti.000 signatures. Sponsored by the Independent Progressive party of California, which must collect 175.000 signatures to crash the ballot in '48, the rally cheered leaders of two other third parties—Eugene Connolly of New York's American Labor party and Sidney Jones of Chicago's new Progressive party.' . While it was the Republicans who killed OPA, scuttled rent control and passed the Taft-Hartley act, thev did it with the help of Democrats, Connolly said, adding: "We no long tr have a 2 party system. Botn have been taken over by Wall Street." Americans want the type of leadership Henry Wallace can give them, he declared. - Jones, Negro labor lawyer who polled 200,000 votes as a Progressive party candidate for a Chicago judgeship, said his party needed 105,000 signatures in three months to get on the ballot. It obtained 135,00) und polled 313.000 votes for'its leading candidate, 20,000 short of victory, in one of the strongest political machine cities in the country. » Dr. Francis E.

In full-page ads published throughout the country the NAM said: "If OPA is permanently discontinued, the production of goexis will mount rapidly und through free competition prices will adjust themselves to levels that consumers are willing to pay. , . Supply will quick ly catch up with demand. Prices will be fair and reasonable to all." Congress destroyed price control at the request of the NAM and other big business organizations. The result of that calamity has been felt by every family. Living costs have shot up mora than 25%, tie-tail food prices have skyrocketed about 45%, Inflation was let loose on the country and price« are shooting through the sky. At the present time, living costs rising at an annual rate of 1Q». Retail food prices are going ^ip < at a rate of more than 30% a year and rents 12%. Government economists expect living costs to rise more thsn 10% in the next four to six months. The, present uncontrolled Inflation Is the direct result of the government's surrender to the NAM. The only beneficiaries of Inflation have bean the profiteers and apec-ulators. Corporate profits after taxes are about double the wartime level and quadruple the 1930-39 level. . , . And a New One Now the NAM In a new series of full-page ads puts the blame for inflation, not on big business which wrecked price control, but on the people. Its opening ad, tyd-catch-ingly titled, Do W*t Streets Cause Rgin, says that "Inflation comes when the flow of money Into the markets Is greater than the flow of goods Into the markets." That's a 82 way of saying that supply is not In bslance with over-ail demand. But that was the cas<' back in mid-194« when labor and conaumars fought for the retention of price control until major ihort-ages were eliminated. Sine« that time production has gone up less than 10%, but business and Industry raiacd wholesale prices by around 50%, Big business has been profiting from inflation, gouging consumers for every penny they have. And prices will continue to rise until the profit is taken out of inflation. That requires price control, an ex cess profits tax and consumer sub-sidles so that prices can be rolled back. It requires rationing so that tha aupply that is available can be distributed fairly. But the NAM's answer to the inflation problem is lower taxes for corporations und no wage increases for workers. This would mean still greater profits and a greater acceleration of the price spiral. It would leave workers who«« real wages— what they can buy with their pay envelopes—have been falling with' no defense against uncontrolled Inflation. The NAM apparently believes (hat you can fool all of the people all of the time. Having brought on a dls- { astrous inflation through its greedy ' drive for profita, the NAM now says that the way to fight inflation Is to "Increase" production. But industry Is working at capacity today, The monopolies, particularly In steel, have stubbornly refused to expand their capacity. As u n-utter of fact, in shoes and other industries, where production has fallen because consumers have been' priced out of the ticket, prices have not gone down. On tho contrary, they have kept going right up. The NAM argues that trying to combat Inflation by controlling price« Is "putting the cart before the horae." But If prices are controlled und profits are controlled, the Inflation spiral can be halted and reversed. Following th« NAM line of longer hours, no w«ge In creuse« und lqwer tuxe« for eoi porstlons csn only lead to u catastrophic Inflationary explosion. That would provide a favoruble oppor tunlty, in th« midst of mass un employment, for the NAM to press for Its primary goal of lower wages and lower living ,«Undaids for all workers. inust crowded shops m moscow are book stores By Alexander Kendrlck MOSCOW —Thcie aie no publishers' remainders in Russia.

We are proaeatiag It to our roador^or the purpose of informations-Editor. •m PREFACE In presenting this report, we ask our readers to bear certain basic facts in mind. The evidence here set forth, where space does not permit of lengthy quotation from the sustaining documents which are mentioned, to the result of our eye-witness investigation; it is not second-hand There was svailable to us an enormous amount of corroborating evidence, much of it from Americans and others who*have lived in Jugo-slsvia for months or years, which we have not included in this report. The material on the status of religious life in Jugoslavia in no case came from the government but from personal interviews with leaders of churches in the four republics we visited—Romart Catholic. Serbian Orthodox, Jewish, Moslem and Protestant. Since we are all clergymen and three of us editors of religious journals, it wss both natural and sound procedure for us to seek our informstion on religious affairs from leaders in the field of religious life. We must emphasize in reference to what we say briefly about the case of Archbishop Stepinac that our sources of information were Roman Catholic—the most incriminating documents were the files of the Roman Catholic diocesan newspapers, concerning the suthenticlty of which there can be no question— and while we found division of opin ion smong Catholics ss to his conviction, many Cstholic lesders frankly sdmittad the truth of the beck-ground data. Certain sections of the press, both in Americs and in other parts of the world, hsve chsrged thst we hsve "whitewashed the Tito government" and have gone so far ss to assert thst we went to Jugoslavia with thst purpose. The sccusstion to ludicrous snd falls of its own weight, ss this report will verify to any intelligent and honest reader. We did not go to Jugoslavia to sp-prsise the Tito government or its policies outside our stated field of interest, snd nowhere have we made, as s group, sny comments on that government. We went to investi-gste one thing—the status of religious life in Jugoslavia today. The form of gover iment has no bearing on the facta that we report. Among other details, the reader will find how our trip came about, how the members of our party wero chosen, the degree of freedom of movement that we had. the purpose of our trip, the precise things we ssw, snd comments by individuals whom we interviewed. We hsve concluded with the hope that our investigation and report may cut through some of the ignorance snd misrepresentation, and thst it will help towsrd better sll s round understanding, snd thus contribute to thst world pesce without which civilizstion to now doomed. Few clergymen can afford them, and official church bodies have neither the funds nor the inclination to investigste conditions in countries where they have no direct membership. Any trip, therefore, would have to be at the expense of the Jugoslav government. Precedent for this wss established during both World Wars I and II when Just such infoi njal groups of religious lesders and editors visited England to report on conditions, snd went as the guests of he British Ministry of Information with all expenses paid by the British Government and without any public criticism. In June of 1047, when relations between the United States and Ju goslavia were at a low point and war-talk was on the increase, fol lowing the enunciation of the so-called Truman Doctrine and the virtual black-listing of Jugoslsvia, the Jugoslav Ambassador asked Dr. Shipler if there were tan represent ative clergymen who would be willing to visit his country ss the guests of the government. When he was told thst such a group could be secured, he asked Dr. Shipler to prepare a list of names. One wss submitted, with preference given to editors of national religious Journals. Political considerations played no part in the selection, as the names of those asked clesrly indicates. WHO WAS ASKED? Four of those invited could not accept because of prior summer commitments; Dr. Louis Newton, Southern Baptist of Atlanta, Georgia; Bishop G. Bromley Oxnsm of bile, boat, train, airplane—we were able to visit four of the six republics thai constitute Jugoslavia: Ser-. bis, Croatia, Slovenia and Beams. At the end, foreign correspondents in Belgrade told us we had seen more in our fourteen days than they . had in several months. I Som{. of the press said, even-Before we left New York. "You will be on a conducted tour and will see only what they want jrov to see." We were well ^ware of that possibility, but it was totally disproved by our experience, With us at all official visits ariS interviews we had as our interpreter a Princeton graduate of tb/ class of 1934, who had lived jrfxteen years in the United Statds, had attended Taft school, and worked a year on Newsweek. At all times, in every section of the country we visited, we were given complete freedom, both as individuals snd as s group, to talk to anyone to whom we wished to speak, and to go where we wished, without government representatives present, an opportunity of which we took full advantage. Whenever possible, we talked to the people directly, rather than through an interpreter. Dr. Trexler spoke German, Dr. Nussbaum French, and the rest of us had some knowledge of various languages. Furthermore, many Jugoslavs speak languages other than their own Serbo-Croat; many know German, French and English. Often we were approached by friendly people on the street with whom we talked freely. We saw no indication of fear or restraint; in fact, there was- an atmosphere of self-confidence and optimism, especially among the young people. Often they would ask naively, "What don't you like about us?" We met the British tf*p American diplomatic representatives without Jugoslavs present, talked with foreign newsmen, and had conversations with the young people from many other countries who were taking part in the voluntary labor proj- THE UPPER CRUST the Methodist Church, New York GENESIS OF THE TRIP Late in October of 1»48 the American Committee for Jugoslav Relief gave a dinner at the Hotel Pennsylvania, New York, in honor of the Jugoslav Ambassador, Mr. Sava Ko-sanovich. who, in his address, discussed the Jugoalavia religious issue. Dr. Shipler, editor of Tha Church-man. attended the dinner as the representative of his paper and sst st the press table During the evening he talked with Mr. Monroe Stern, the public relations representative of the Jugoslav Embassy in Washington, whom he had not previously met and who was sitting at the same table. In the course of the conversation, Mr. Stern said that he believed the Ambassador would be grateful for an opportunity W» meet some of the church leaders of America to whom he might speak freely of religious conditions in Jugoslavia apd whoae questions he might have the privilege of answering. As a result of this conversation, letters were sent by Dr. Shipler to a list of clergymen and other church leaders in the New York area, in viting them to a luncheon in November at the Hotel Pierre, New York. to hear the Ambassador and to aak him questions. At this luncheon some thirty Protestant ministers and leaders met with Ambassador Kosaaovich Foreign Minister St-mich. and members of the Jugoslav United Nations' delegation. There was opportunity to croaa examine them on the trial of Archbishop Stepinac which had just occurred, and on the general aortal and religious polU'les of the new Jugoslav government At the cloae of the luncheon, the clergymen expressed the opinion that what had been said at this meeting concerning their matters indicated that the«« was another side to the picture which had not been adequately pre aented to the Amencan public, and was far different from that desri I bed in the pies« As a result of what they had heard »»me of the guests at the luncheon felt that It might help to create better understanding between Jugoslavia and the UnKed State» if a group of ixrhapa ten such representative cleigymen as thoae present could go to Jugoslavia and report their findings Trips of this kind are expensive, sres; Dr. Alvs Taylor, Church of the Disciples of Christ, Nsshville, Tennessee; and Dr. Carlyle Adams, editor of The Presbyterlaa Tribune of Brooklyn. A fifth, Paul Hutchinson, editor of The Christian Century of Chicago, declined. We cite these nsmes because they refute the charge made in the press thst the Jugoslavs asked only "hand-picked" friends. The fact is thst the Jugo-slav government made no suggestions of nsmes and made no comment on those selected. Six men accepted: Dr. Shipler, editor of The Churchman, an Epis-copalian; Dr. Emory Stevens Bucke, editor of Zton's Herald of Boston, s Methodist; Dr. George Wslker Buckner, Jr., editor of World Call of Indianapolis, Disciple of Christ; Dr. Phillips Pecker Elliott of the First Presbyterisn Church of Brooklyn, whom Dr. Adsms suggested to represent The Presbyterlaa Tribune; pr. Samuel Trexler, former president, Lutheran Synod of New York; and the Rev. Claude Williams, director of the Institute of Applied Religion in Birmingham, Alabama. To this group was added Dr. Trex-ler's friend. Dr, Edmund Devol, a New York physician. When Bishop Oxnam and Dr. Newton failed to suggest substitutes, as they hsd been asked to do, the Rev. Willism How-ard Meltoh of the Church of the Holy Trinity, Brooklyn, en Episcopalian. was invited by the group. Sections of the press, both sec-ulsr and Roman Cstholic, hsve sought to discredit the party by alleging that three of the group are "communists" or "fellow-travelers". —sn allegation which our entires group is as one in denying. Those who have made these false chsrges hsve aaid little about the othc{ five men. whose signatures sppcsr on this document. Also they hsve ignored the additional but significant fact that we were accompanied throughout the trip, as we have publicly stated, by Dr. Jean Nussbaum, a Swiss citizen working out of Paris as General Secretary of the International Association for the Dcfenac of Religloua Liberty (European Section) with headquarters in Washington.

From the moment we met the Jugoslav authorities in Belgrade, we were asked what we wanted to see Without exception the government made no recommendation. Every thing we ultimately did was first propped by us and then arranged by them, chiefly from day to day. Brevity of time prevented the car rying out of one or two requests: otherwise all of our propoaala were met We were in Jugoslavia fourteen days Our hosts had asked us to rtay three weoks but our personal obligations made this impoaaible Since Jugoslavia is not s large coun-try Mpproaimalely the sire of Colo-»ado snd wtih a population on!y twice that of Greater New York City- We felt a fortnight would pro vide sufficient opportunity to study the i*>c subject We went to Jugo »l-Ma t<, investigate We indicated to our ho«ts that we were ptepaied 1» travel night and day without Since every fa ccts such ss the fsmous Youth Railway In Bosnis. Since our return, we have been asked if we experienced sny antagonism towards us as Americans. The question at first surprised us. In Jugoslsvis we neither snticipated nor found the slightest evidence of inhospitality or lack of cordiality, whether we were meeting officials or people on the street. In fact, quite the opposite was true. Among our most friendly receptions were those given us, in sll parts of Jugoslsvis, by leaders of the Romsn Cstholic Church. Dr. Buckner, Dr. Bucke, Dr. Shipler end Mr. Meltoh had cameras, as did Joseph Blank, a free-lance correspondent from New York, a friend of one of our group, whp Joined us In Belgrade and was with us for most of the trip. The only thing we were asked not to photograph was the outer approach to Lepoglava Prison but we were permitted to take our cameras with us when we entered. Ntt objection was voiced when we took aictureS of Archbishop Stepinac in hiirroom, as well as photos of his private chapel next to his room. Though among us wc took nearly 1000 shots, wc were not asked to have ,our photographs developed before leaving the country. In fact, with the single exception of Lepoglava, no reference was made to our cameras, which we carried everywhere we went, whether alone or in a group.

So ended the first act of a drama which must some dsy be played through to the end. The action began in October in New York, when certain Negro citizens of the United States wrote a letter to the world telling the bloody story of race relations in this country and asked the United Nations for action. Entitled "A Statement on ti>e Denial of Human Rights to Miwf/fies in the Case of Citizens pf Negro Descent in the United States of America, and an Appeal to the United Nations for Redress," the, ^ifneographed volume of 150 pages was prepared by the National Association tor the Advancement of Colored People and and Econ-h of the fifty-to the U.

The document is partly an indictment of the United States by a Urge section of its citizens. Government has failed the Negro at every level, from the local sheriff to the Supreme Court. .Most especially the Supreme Court, though on its dignified home to boldly emblazoned "Equal Justice Under the Law," is found in this record to hsve been the great diluter of Negro righto, the great ¿legator of constitutional guaranties. From Revolutionary days the Supreme Court has taken the attitude that the "Negro has no righto which the ^hite man to bound to respcef," a dictum incorporated in Roger Tandy's justly infamous Dred Scott decision. The constitutional amendments which followed the Civil War were designed to abolish slavery and make the Negro citizen a voter, but they were soon interpreted in such s wsy that, instead of serving to protect the newly emancipated slave in the exercise of his citiscnship, they helped the'states to constrict, limit, and even prohibit the rights he hsd been granted. By its biased interpretations of these amendments the Supreme Court has permitted Negroes to be deprived of tho right to vote: from Its decisions stem the poll taxes, separate primaries, "rotten boroughs," and other voting restrictions which are still in wide use throughout the South. The right of Negroes to sit on Jurtrs when Negroes are Mng triad has been nullified on the simple theory that the proof of dtocrimination presented to the augmt court was not satisfactory. Seperatlon of races in intra-state travel kaa been encouraged by the court's dtrdict that this was but a "valid exercise of the police power of the state." The Supreme Court has denied the Negro hto civil righto on the ground that Congres* was given the theory of "separate byt equal" facilities. Acceptance of this vicious theory was of course the certain guaranty, not of equality, but of its opposite, segregation, and out of it have come the separate school systems, separate toilet facilities, separate quarters in hospitals, trains, and practically everywhere else, in-chiding graveyards. Op every hand the South offers propi that these separate facilities are unequal and the Negro. It to a return to other historical methods, to those off the Reconstruction era, when Negroes acting as solid communal groups resisted the attacks of the Ku Klux Klan. The present challenge to presented by s militant and united people, conscious of thier aims and unafraid, for perhaps the ftort time, of setting up s red scare. Dr. W. E. Burghardt DuBoto, in the statement's opening chapter, disposes of the red bogy: "It to not Russia that threatens the United States so much ss Mississippi, not Stalin and Molo-tov but Bilbo and Rankin; internal injustice done to one's brothers is far more dangerous than the aggression of strangers from abroad." Whatever the Russians make of this, and by espousing the Negro cause at Geneva they indicated it would be a great deal, action will be up to us. We must cure ourselves of our Rank ins.

These words do not harm the child; this need not be the beginning of a bad habit; it j, simply a phase which most children go through." The reasons for the child's sud-denly adopting "skunk ', "louse" "stinker" or worse (usually much worse) can range from a desire to tease or use s new word innocently to a real desire to get back at some-one, to let off steam in words rather than physical action.

You will not scold or punish the child for bad words because you'll understand he is not being bAd. Youll try to have a sense of humor—and avoid acting in such a way as to emphasize the importance of the words in his mind. 2. You may decide to use the same words back to him in a calm unemotional way to make the words seem less important. Or ask him pleasantly but firmly not to use the word again. You might say, "Though wc don't mind it at home, some people think little children should not use words like that." 3. If a word or phrase of religious or racial prejudice is used, there is the temptation to give a lecture on tolerance. But the child is too young for that. Simply ask him not to use the word because it hurts the feel ings of others. 4. You might try playing with the word until it loses its significance. If he says "lousy", for instance, say "bowzy, dowzy, etc." 5. Show the child how to coin new words or give him long, hard words as substitutes. One teacher suggeated "shoppie-jawed and "Cechoslovakia" At any rate, whatever you do, you will want to experiment, always in a calm fashion. See what works best with your youngsters. The problem may be handled differently depending on whether the child to trying to tease because he is bored or because he to angry. If the child to swearing because he to angry, says Dr. Ridenour, "remember thst to express his anger in words instead of actions is a step forward—even though he may not use the words you would select for him. . . Be glad he has reached this next stage in hto development. You would not want him to remain inarticulate all his life!"
