NUMBER 42 DUPONT BEGINS NATIONWIDE CAMPAIGN TO SUBSID1ZE FASCIST OUTFIT NEW YORK Ever since the Lobbying Investigation coriducted by Senator (novv Supreme Court Justice) Black exposed the rulers of Ameri- ca the leaders of the NAM, Wall Street brokers, and several score bank- ers as the mam subsidizers of the Liberty League and its fascist, anti- Semitic and KuKlux Klan affiliates, there have been numerous docu mented reports shovving who foots the bili for fascism in America. Hovvever, Henry Ford was the only billionaire who was proved to be active personally in this field. In addition to giving money to Tsar- ist and Nazi agents, he helped spread the forged “Protocols of Zionand although he recanted in 1927, he continued to take an active part in the crypto-fascist Buchmanism movement. Other billionaire Corporation heads, notably the duPonts, were known to give money, but none was ever proved to be a personal parti- cipant in propagating fascism. (The latest evidence of duPont financial aid was published by Robt. S. Allen in his syndicated column Dec. 7 say~ ing the total given the fascist Na¬ tional Economic Council had reached $90,000.) Lammot .duPont Becomes Active In US Fascism In previous instances the big busi- ness subsidizers of fascist move- ments have defended themselves on the ground they merely donate mo- ney to “patriotic” organizations and movements, scores of them, without knovving much about them. Now In Fact has evidence that the head of the biggest industrial Corporation in the U. S., and one of the real rulers of America, Lammot duPont, whose previous donations to fascist outfits is documented in “1000 Americans,” has become an active propaganda agent for Ameri¬ can fascism as well as one of its main financial backers. Flere is the major part of the du¬ Pont letter which is being sent to Corporation executives in the Unit¬ ed States: Acceptance for mailing at special rate of postage provided for in section 1103, Act of Oct. 3, 1917, authorized on June 4, 1918, Lammot duPont DuPont Building Wilmington 98 Del. November 29, 1949 Dear Fellow American: Last December, believing the Na¬ tional Economic Council was doing outstanding work toward stemming the tide of communism and social- ism in this country, I wrote to ma- ny Americans, urging them to con- tribute to the Council. Now, I have just read Council Let¬ ter No. 226, “There Is No Peace . . .” I am sure that you will conclude that the Council is doing a good job. We ali have many calls upon us, but in my opinion the NEC should stand among those at the top or near the top of any business man’s list. Will you not stretch a point and make a contribution, or make a larger contribution, and promptly? Yours Sincerely, Lammot duPont The Hart NEC newsletter, like Mr. duPonfs appeal, begins with a few paragraphs about the commun- ist trial in New York, but both soon change their tactics, and swing into a smear of first the socialists, then the Americans for Democratic Ac- tion, then the “planners,” and the “vvelfare State” and finally Trumail and the present Democratic admin- istration. See Conspiracy To Turn ih« US Inio Socialism This is the new line of American reaction. Beginning with propa- gandizing straight fascism, it cul- minates with attacking the Truman administration. Hart now attacks Americans who have been “inces- santly campaigning to make Ameri¬ ca socialist. And this group includes ‘Liberals’ of many kinds.” He States that “they have pictured socialism as a great ‘liberal’ force opposing totalitarian communism . . . They are nothing of the sort. They are blood brothers.” Then immediately he switched to the “free market economy,” and adds: “The managed economy is the end of the free political society. Whether one calls it ‘socialism oi ‘communism’ makes little difference. The purpose of ali this buncombe is soon apparent. On p. 3 of the newsletter duPont is distributing, Hart continues: “At this point the rcader may in- quire: Are you trying to teli me there is a socialist conspiracy m America. “That is it, exactly.” And what is this socialist con- spiracy? “They’re trying to follow ' the road of the British socialists Proof? Some piece of writing of Hart’s fcllovv member of the Amer¬ ica First outfit n a med John M. Flynn, a lapsed liberal turned re- actionary and smearer. Oppose Wage Increase and More Educalion But this is not the end. Vague fakery about a socialist conspiracy in America would not get the du¬ Pont Empire excited. Hart conti¬ nues: “The method by which the plan¬ ners intend to persuade Americans to surrender their freedom is sim- plicity itself. They promise almost everybody something. for nothing. The plans of the Truman socialist palače guard, for example, include the following ‘benefits’ by 1958— ali to be p aid for by the people themselves: “For low income families: at least $4,000 a year. “For farmers: an income of at least $1,200 per year per person.” There follow: social welfare, un- employment insurance, old age pen- sions, “socialized” medicine, hous- ing and aid for education. “These are only some of the items which Leon Keyserling, now domi¬ nant in the Presidenfs Council of socalled Economic—really Socialist —Advisers, has in mind . . .” Thus the Administration’s plan for social welfare, education, rais- ing the standard of living of the American people, workers and farmers alike, is called in the next paragraphs “the police State,” and the v/hole thing is “socialist con- spiracy.” Finally, on page 4, Hart says' in Capital letters that the Congress authorized “spending more than FIFTY-ONE BILLION DOLLARS. That is abour $340 for every man, woman and child in the U. S. - “If you have a family of five,” adds Hart, you are “in hock” $1,700. “Your personal ‘share’ of the na- tional indebtedness is already $3,- 333—or $16,665 if you have a farn¬ ih of five.” The fakery of this item is evident. It is true that the U.S. is spending billions, but these billions are for war preparations. Seventy-five percent of the budget is for past and future wars. The defense budget alone is $15,000,000,000. But the Franco pro¬ pagandist suppresses the faets. He makes it a conspiracy of “planners” and the “masked socialists” of the “welfare state.” US Traitor, Jane Anderson, Had Hart Endorsemeni The Hart newsletter which du¬ Pont is circulating has attached to it an NEC subseription blank in ICont.inupd on Daee 81 Charge Business Taking Over US. Education CINCINNATI—(FP) -—American colleges and universities are becom- ing more and more involved in busi¬ ness enterprises. And unless this rapidly inereas- ing trend is halted, the future of hfgher education will be endangered. This was the vvarning sounded by educators at a 3-day conference of the Assn. of American Colleges. By buying up business or entering into partnership with industrial compa- nies, it was pointed out, the edu- cational institutions are abusing their tax exempt status under fed- eral income tax laws. It was estimated that 445 colleges and universities are now engaged in off-campus business activities. Their total investment amounts to between $300 and $400 million. An English vvalnuhgrove, spaghet- ti factory, cattle ranch, testing lab- oratories, department store build- ings, creameries and chinaware com- panies are among the enterprises engaged in by the educational in¬ stitutions. Profits derived from these sources are treated differently from Corpo¬ ration profits. Since they are for educational purposes, they avoid the 38% corporate tax. One solution to the problem, sug- gested by Preš. Harold E. Stassen of the ,University of Pennsylvania, is for more corporate gifts to col¬ leges. The 1948 Republican party Presidential aspirant urged that cor- porations increase their 1946 level of donations to educational and charitable causes from 0.7% of total profits to 2%. This plan wou!d have one obvious result: a tightening of corporate con- trol of American educational insti¬ tutions. The Men Who Control Our Uni¬ versities, published in 1947 by the King’s Crown Press, a division of the Columbia University Press, re- vealed that bankers and business- men dominate the governing boards of the nation’s 30 leading schools. Proving statistieally that these groups control the boards, the sur- vey said: “The occupations of these trustees and the large incomes they receive reveal only partially the plače of these trustees in the Amer¬ ican economic system. Their com- manding role in the business world is more fully disclosed . . in their offices and direetorships in business enterprises . . . “The magnitude of the 400 larg- est businesses covered is almost be- yond comprehension . . . The enter¬ prises represented are unusually large and powerful . . . They includ- ed, for example, U. S. Steel, duPont, General Electric and General Mo¬ tors.” Each candidate for Parliament in the British elections must post the equivalent of $400, which is for- feited if he polis less than one- eighth of the votes in his district. INJUNCTIONS MAKE THIS ŠTRKE DIF- FEREMT, MINERS S.4V By Slanley Marshall MASONTOWN, Pa.—FP)—Despite Taft-Hartley injunctions and a rec omendation by Preš. John L. Lewis of the United Mine Workers (unaf- filiated) to return to work, miners here are determined to stay on strikc until they win their demands. “There’s a difference between this strike and other strikes in the past,” a veteran of many years in the pits told Federated Press Feb. 23. “In the old days we always went back to work whenever John L. Lewis said to because we figured he and his lawyers could get us something up in Washington . . . Now he tries but ali he gets is injunctions. “Once upon a time we could look to Preš. Roosevelt to take our side against the powerful operators. Novv we know we’ll lose ali if wc don’t hold out in defense of our no contraet, no work principle.” As he finished speaking, ohters joined in to denounce the govern- ment’s use of injunctions. “We’re supposed to have a constitution that guarantees us our rights,” an ex-Gl said bitterly, “but I guess it’s way back on the shelf some plače, dusty and moldering as far as the miners are concerned.” The strikers make it clear that they aren’t fighting for immediate benefits alone. What they are fight¬ ing for, essentially, is their union and retention of their hard-won collective bargaining rights, they say. Then there’s another enemy— speedup. “New machines have brought killing speedup,” a coal- cutter said, adding grimly: “ They use them to work men to death in- stead of making hard, work easier.” He accused pit bosses trving to win company praise of cutting nor¬ mal 28-man crpvvs to 8-man skel- etons. The courrent injury and death rate is one reflection of the speedup. To the striking miners, their bat- tle is the concern of ali organized labor.. “The coal miner is a guinea pig for the rest of the labor move¬ ment,” said a youthful digger who thought “the CIO is beginning to vvake up to that fact.” He used an example to emphasize his point about the miners’ strike being a test čase. “Look at the wa.v Preš. Truman is trying to hold ofi the telephone strike until we gel licked,” he said. “If they breal us, there probably won’t even be a phone strike. One at a time is theii way.” Promises alone, it appears, will not get the man back to vvork. “We had a promise from the White House during the vvar that if wc worked one hour longer, eight instead of seven, hours vvould go down and wages up after the vvar. We agreed, for Roosevelt, not for the operators. Now we stili haven’t got our 7-hour day . . . “If we back down ond go back under an 80-day injunction, the operators vvould get enough coal above ground and then it vvould be goodbye to negotiations for another vear We’re staving m it ” Battle Over Health IF VOLUNTARY HEALTH IN¬ SURANCE fails to provide fully adequate medical čare, how should it be improved? That, as we have indicated in tvvo previous editorials, is the principal question in the fortheoming battle over the Truman administration’s plan for national health insurance. The administration proposes to collect premiums from ali employed persons and their employers for health insurance, just as payroll deductions are novv made for un- employment insurance and old age pensions. Under this plan, the vvorker vvould pay 1’a per cent of the first $4,800 of his annual vvages, and his en:ployer vvould pav the same. A man earning $50 a vveek would have 75 cents dedueted from his pay check, in addition to present de¬ ductions, for the health fund. If he or any member of his farn¬ ih became ill, the health fund' vvould pay the piliš. There vvould be some limitation on benefits to prevent abuse, but it is contem- plated that ali the normal exprenses of illness or hospital čare vvould be taken čare of by the fund. This is the plan vvhich has met such determined opposition from strong and widely spread sections of the medical profession. Several alternatives have been offered in Congress. Sen. Taft for example proposes that federal funds be used to pay voluntary health insurance pre¬ miums for persons unable to pay their ovvn. In some ways this involves a more radical principle than that of the Truman plan. It vvould use general' taxation, rather than specific con- tributions, to support medical čare for part of the people. With one group paying for its ovvn health in¬ surance and another group having its insurance paid for by the gov- ernment, it is not hard to imagine a grovving demand by the first group to move into the second. Sen. Douglas of Illinois has an¬ other idea. He apparently favors a compulsory sysem to vvhich ali contribute. But^ he vvould have each person cOTuribute less—per- haps 25 cents a vveek, instead of 75 cents, for the $50 vvage earner. In¬ stead of paying ali medical bills, the fund vvould pay only those ex- ceeding a fixed sum, say $150. This, says Sen. Douglas, vvould protect the individual against cata- strophic medical expenses, vvhich is the main object. Backers of the Truman plan argue that it is equal- ly important to protect against ORDINARY medical expenses, and to expand medical Service in rural areas vvhere it is novv deficient. The Douglas plan vvould not promote either of these objectives. (Sun- Times) Yugoslavia Contributes To U.N. Children^s Fund for Third Year NEW YORK—A nevv contribution, equivalent to $300,000, from the Government of the FPRY to the United Nations International Chil- dren’s Emergency Fund vvas an- nounced by UNICEF officials. This s Yugoslavia’s third consecutive annual contribution, raising the to- cal to date to the equivalent of 5889,000. Most of the earlier Yugoslav con- ributions vvere in the form of vheat and dried fruits, vvhich vvere ased for the relief of Palestinian :hild refugees. Details about the iew contribution have not yet been received. The present contribution is vvorth, in effect, more than $1,000,000 to UNICEF, because it vvill enable the Fund to claim about $770,000 from the balance stili available under the United States appropriation. The United States’ contribution vpecifies that it vvill make $2.57 available for every $1 received by UNICEF from other governments. USSR Stops Shipment To Yugoslavia From Western Germany BELGRADE —Borba teliš a story of tvvo printing machines that vvent astray in Germanv. Yugoslavia had received them from Western Ger- many on a restitutjon claim; the machines, both expensive models, had been in the British sector of Berlin. Although Soviet authorities grant- ed transportation permits for the machines, the lorries carrying them vvere stopped on the border of the British and Soviet zones by German frontier guards. It is obvious, Bor¬ ba points out. that the German guards could not have behaved this way on their ovvn initiative, but that the Soviet authorities reversed their decision because Yugoslavia vvas involved. Since they vvere taken off to Magdeburg, the ma¬ chines have not been scen or heard of. Turned Away From Medicine Last year 25,000 students applied for admission to American medical schools, and only 6,986 vvere accept- ed. At a time vvhen the need for more doctors is appallingly ap¬ parent, the medical schools turned away nearly three out of four per¬ sons vvho sought training as doctors. This situation received attention at a recent meeting of the American Conference of Academic Deans at Cincinnati. A committee of deans had looked into medical education, and come up vvith some angry con- clusions. The country needs more doctors. Many well-qualified young people vvant to become doctors. But our medical education setup is not training ennough doctors. What’s going to be done about it’ The medical colleges contend, vvith justification, that they do not have the funds to expand training. Yet vvhen it is proposed to augment their funds by federal aid, under conditions calculated to preserve academic freedom, the American Medical Assn. becomes the leading oppqonent to the bili. The A.M.A. is not backing up the enlightened educators vvho see the need for ex- pansion. Some of the academic deans at Cincinnati talked bitterly about the application of “Petrillo economics” to the medical profession. They vvere suggesting that the profession limits its numbers in exactly the same way that a closed union limits apprenticeships. If the medical profesion vvants to free itself of such talk as that, it vvould better get together and see to it that more doctors are trained in the future.— (Sun-Times) Editor’s Column SOME FOOD FOR OUR PREC0NVENT10N DISCUSSION Army Booklet Says Hiring Five Percenters Unnecessary WASHINGTON—(FP)—Novv that the shooting of Woild War II and the shouting about “five percenter” contraet men is over, the army is- sues a pamphlet telling the innocent businessman Hovv to Seli to The U. S. Army. Under that title, the booklet explains you don’t have to hire an influence-peddler at 5% rakeoff to turn the trick. Besides, the booklet says, this vvay of doing business is illegal. Many decisions vvere made at the last SNPJ Supreme Board meeting, as we reported last vveek. Among these vvas also a recommendation that a Convention Forum be opened in the Prosveta in vvhich our members could discuss various matters and problems of our Socieiy vvhich vvill confront our fortheoming convention. As already reported, the conven¬ tion vvill be called to order in the nevv Slovenian National Home in Detroit on August 21. This recommendation is in line vvith an old estabiished practice of ours. If has been the custom that months before every convention members vvould discuss various mat¬ ters pro and con, or suggest nevv policies and features iovvards a fur- ther improvement of our Socieiy, In fact this preconvention discus- sion has already begun in the Slo- vene section of the Prosveta. So far it has ceniered eniirely on the ques- tion of giving some aid to our old members. As you knovv, our last convention, held in Eveleih, Minn., in 1946, insii- tuted a sysfem whereby an old mem¬ ber, 65 or over and 35 years in the organization, may apply through his or her lodge to the Headquarters for the payment of his assessmenl, if and vvhen in need. Close to 700 are now receiving this aid. There is much criticism and dis- satisfaetion about this plan. For one thing, the plan is based, as it vvere, on e. "means test,” requiring the ap- plicant to prove he or she is in need. For another thing, it is often diffi- cult to decide vvheiher the applicani is really in need or not. And the third objection is that, as a general rule, one hates to pass on the ques- tion vvho is or is not in need in order to qualify for this aid. Therefore a body of opinion has been developed to the effect that ali members of this age group should be entitled to this aid or none. * * * It vvas this faetor vvhich movad the Supreme Board to instruct the Execuiive Committee to prepare tv/o plans iovvards "solving” of this pe- rennial problem. As vve already re¬ ported, one plan shoukt provide for the paymenl of the assessment from the Special Benefit fund to ali mem¬ bers 65 years old and 35 years in the organization, regardless of need. This plan is to be financed by an increase of assessment upon ali adult members. As there are about 4,000 members in this age group vvho vvould qualify for this aid and v/hese average assessment is about FIGHT FOR HEALTH By THE PHYSICIANS FORUM Diet for Expectant Mothers In a previous article vve shovved why a good diet is important both for the expectant mother and for her baby. Novv vve should like to discuss some of the fooas that should go into the mother’s diet. This discussion vvill be based pret- ty largely on the pamphlet entitled: “Prenatal Čare,” published by the U.S. Children’s Bureau. This pam¬ phlet vvas completely revvritten and brought up to date this year, and vve recommend it highly. It is on šale for 15c by the U.S. Govern¬ ment Printing Office, Washington, D. C. ~ - A lot of peojjle think that the ex- pectant mother must eat a lot be¬ cause she is “eating for tvvo.” This. isn’t true. The amount of food an expectant mother should eat is only a little more than the amount vvhich should be eaten by a vvoman vvho is not pregnant. The important thing really is not hovv much the expectant mother eats, but vvhat kinds of food she eats. She needs foods rich in pro¬ tein, calcium, iron, and ali the vita- mins. Of courseš she also needs sugars, starches and fats to fill out her need for calories (another name for energy). Unfortunately, many people tend to fill up on sugars, starches or fats, partly because these foods aren’t so expensive and partly because of habit. When neople do this, and doivt eat enough of the other neces- sary foods, their diet is unbalanced and poor. An expectant mother needs to eat the follovving foods ev- ery day: Milk—One quart of vvhole or skim roilk a day. Milk is an important source of protein, calcium and the vitamin called riboflavin. Part of the milk can be taken in cream soups, custards, puddings or creamed foods. Cheese may also be used. Skim milk can be used by over- vveight persons if they are getting vitamin A from other foods. Fruits and vegetables—At least five servings of fruits and vegetables a c!ay, and at least one serving of each should be ravv. Include a serv¬ ing of oranges or grapefruit, or to matoes, berries, or more leafy of the necessary calcium and en- ergy. Lean meat, poultry, fish—At least a quarter of a pound of meat or fish a-day is needed to supply the building materials for muscles and blood. Eggs—At least one egg a day. Eggs are a good source of iron, vvhich helps to build good blood for both the mother and her baby. Cereals and bread—Three serv¬ ings a day of cereals and bread are needed to supply certain vitamins and also energy. Use only the vvhole- grain, restored, or enriched cereals, breads, and flour. Butter and fortified margarine— These contain vitamin A. If you are vvatching your vveight, use but¬ ter and fortified margarine sparing- ly, since they are fatty foods. Vi¬ tamin A can also be obtained from other foods vvhich are less fattening, such as liver, carrots, yellow squash and leafy green vegetables. Fluids—The expectant mother needs plenty of fluids. Soups, milk and fruit juices are good sources of fluid, but most pregnant vvomen need to drink a fevv glasses of vva- ter a day in addition. Vitamin D—Most pregnant vvomen need extra vitamin D, particularly in vvinter vvhen they • don’t get enough sun. This can be taken in fish-liver oil or some type of con- centrate. It’s better to get the doc- tor’s advice than to dose yourself. Liberal quantities of the foods listed above should be enough to satisfy anyone’s appetite. If the ex- pcctant mother is stili hungry, and her doetor doesn’t think she is gain- ing too much vveight, she can eat other foods. But it’s important that she doesn’t stuff herself vvith cakes. candy, jel- ly, pastries, soft drinks and other $2.20 per month, this plan vvould cosi about $8,600 per month, or 17c per month per member, if ali vvould apply. The other plan should provide the payment of assessment to ali mem¬ bers of this group vvho vvould apply for it but it vvould be dedueted from their death claim. In other words, the beneficiaries of these members would foot this bili by receiving so much less upon the death of their benefacior. There is much merit in this, perhaps more justice than to tax ali the members for their bene¬ fit. If this plan should be adopted then only those members actually in need, or for some other reason, vvould apply for this aid. Then there is the question, vvhich the convention vvill have to dispose of one way or another, of plugging the bole in the General as vvell as in the Disabiliiy funds. To the Gen¬ eral fund vve are stili paying the same amount as vve did 30 years ago. If it vvere not for the fact that this fund has income from tvvo other sources, that is from the prelimin- ary insurance (half of first year’s assessment—the proposal of the Su¬ preme Board vvill be for the enlire amount—the other half is novv go¬ ing into the Special Benefit fund) and Vi of 1% interesi on the admil- ted assets—if it vvere not for these tvvo faelers the payments to the General fund vvould had to have been inereased long ago. Hovvever, the drain on this fund, due to the inereased cost of every- thing—salaries, supplies, etc., has been so heavy since last convention that the income is no longer suffi- cient. The Supreme Board decided to recommend to the convention the follovving aliernaiives: 1) fflerging of the Special Benefit fund vvith the General fund, .thus in fact abolish- ing the Special Benefit fund; 2) transferring (decreasing) tvvo cents from the Special Benefit fund into (inereasing) the General fund. But if the Special Benefit fund remains as is, vvhich vvill depend on vvhat the convention vvill do about the aid to old members, then a slight increase into the General fund vvill be neces- sary. Hovv much, it vvill depend on the guestion if the Society builds nevv Headquarlers. The same goes for the Disability fund vvhich has also been going into the red since last convention. The reasen is because the convention lib- eralized the paymenis from this fund, largely by adding nevv opera- iions, without inereasing of assess¬ ment. Then there is the question of es- tablishing a pension sysiem for our office employees and execulives. By order of the Supreme Board tvvo plans vvill be submitted to the con¬ vention. One vvill provide for sel- ting up of a pension fund into vvhich both pariies, the employees and the employer (the Sociely) vvould con¬ tribute. The other plan vvill pro¬ vide for the "hooking-up” vvith the federal Social Securily syslem. * * * These, then ,are some of the ques- tions vvhich our members should discuss at their lodge meetings or in the Convention Forum in the Corn¬ ing months, prior to convention. There, of course, are other questions pertaining to our lodges, federations, juvenile circles, athletics or dealing vvith general policies and principles of our Society. In the coming months it vvill be time to thrash ali these Ihings out at our meetings or in the Prosveta, or rather both. Ali of you members vvho vvant to participate in this preconvention dis¬ cussion in the Convention Forum mav do so. In this connection vve have two reauests; first, vvrite sep¬ araten for this Forum, not in con¬ nection vvith other lodge nevvs or gessip; second, if you disagree vvith certain policy or policies use such language—non-abusive—that vve can print.

Those interested in running for the job better check up on the by-laws to determine qualifications of a dele¬ gate and act accordingly. Awards to lodge officers: Any secretary after serving a total of 25 years will be eligible for an award from the SNPJ either a watch or pen ancl pencil set. Also, motion was passed at the meeting that any lodge officer, president, vice presi- dent, recording secretary, treasurer or member of the auditing commit- tee, seving a total of 25 years in one or combination of positions, whether for one or more lodges, will be eligible for an avvard of a pen and pencil set... Ali requests for such awards to originate by the lodge, listing the name of the individual, year ancl position served..

The Va lentine affair put on by the circle group, under the able direction of Ann Sannemann, brought out the hidden talents of the youngsters. Good friends and fine people are leaving the fair city of Cleveland. Tony, Rose Debevits and their youngster have left for Fontana, Calif.

Bgb Yar- shen ali anxious to write in the Pro¬ sveta, more Comrade news will be CHICAGO—Perfect Circle mem¬ bers are stili hearing favorable com¬ ments about their Valentine social and program, especially the prog¬ ram. Everyone seemed to like the skits and community singing and Ann Sannemann and I enjoed plan- ning it as much as the children and ali of you enjoyed participating in it. Our handcraft booklets which we displayed at this affair vvere a big hit with everyone and ali of the children should really be very proud of their efforts. We invited ali of the Supreme Board membei's to our social and al- most everyone of them came and I think they ali had a very enjoable evening. To show us their apprecia- tion they presented the Circle with a beautiful enormous box of choco- lates and also a cash donation. Per¬ fect Circle says “Thanks” to ali of you. Perfect Circle has a new Sunshine Friend, Joanne Marolt of Cleveland, Ohio. We would ali like to say “Hello” to Joanne and also to our other little friend, Doris Jeon Wci- gel, of Johnstown, Pa. Perfect. Circle would like to thank Circle 69 of St. Louis for their niče Valentine. We too consider ourselves lucky to have Mrs. Sannemann with us again. Myra Andres, Circle secretary who is very active in school and vvith the circle has added a new activity to her long list. She is a new mem¬ ber of her high school’s ali girl rifle team. Joseph Svehla is president of Far- ragut High Schools Junior Honol Society. Ann Sannemann has been encour- aging the teen group of the Circle and myself to attend more lodge af- fairs and as a result quite a few of us attended Slavija’s dance where we spent an enjoyable evening. Judy Zasadil and Freddy Selak participated in a Brotherhood Week Pageant at their grammar school last week. Judy had the honor of being the announcer and a member of the chorus and Freddy played the part of an Indian Chief with war paint and ali the trimmings. Freddy’s mother, Mrs. Adele Selak, applied the make-up for ali the children and assisted the teacher in charge. Who knows. maybg some day these people will be on Broadway. Ann and I attended the Chicago Federation meeting Friday evening and the main topič was Chicago’s SNPJ Day. It is hoped that Perfect Circle will be able to make this an enjoyable and interesting affair for ali other circles attending. To do this we will- need the cooperation of ali parents, alumni, members and friends and I hope we will get it. By cooperation I don’t raean just talk, I mean actual help. ELLA MAE SELAK, Co-Dir. Attention, Lodge Secretaries And Members! CPIICAGO—The next re g u 1 a r monthly meeting of the Victorian Lodge 632 will be helc! Thursday, March lst, at Gratchner’s Hall, 2653 S. Lavvndale ave. Those members who didn’t attend the last meeting surely missed a grand time. Try and attend this meeting. The after- meeting socials are really grand. Last vveekend the Midvvest tour- ghculd reimbuise ihcse members who paid physical examinaiion nament was held here m Chicago fees. Checks v/ere sent to those lodges from which properly filled^cut reporis were received by February 18, 1950. F. A. VIDER, Supreme Secretary Checks in reimbursemeni of physical examinaiion fees of new members admitted into the Adult Department from July 1 to De¬ cember 31, 1949, inclusive, have been mailed to the Lodge Treas- urerr. Checks were issued to the order of Lodge Secretaries who under the sponsorship of Integrity Lodge 631. This was another gath- ering and reunion of friends and members from many different lodges in the midvvest area. And it was plenty cold over the weekend and lots of snow. We welcome into o.ur midst the Frank Stermetz family who trans- ferred to our Lodge from Jenny Lind, Ark. That was very niče, to get five transfers. We enjoy hav- ing yoij in our lodge. Cookie De Cenzo did' the good. work. Thank you. The Victorians extend their deep- est sy.mpathy to Katherine Pouhe and Jack Beuk on the loss of their father Feb. 19 ih Ely, Minn. Victorians, don’t forget our Spring Dance on April 15 at the SNPJ Hall. Our ovvn Chicago Polka King' Joe Kovich will provide snappy mu¬ šic. A cordial invitation is extend- ed to ali neighboring lodges and friends to attend. On Feb. 18, the Rudolph Hribar family and I motored to Taylor- ville and Nokomis and had a grand trip. It is not only that the city people are out of coal, the miners themselves are getting short of coal too. Members, don’t forget the March lst meeting and the April 15 dance. MARY E. NOVAK, 632 This and That SNPJ Members’ Forum “Ill-Fated Party” WEST ALLIS, Wis.—In regard to Brother Max Kumer’s philosophical comment of disapproval of some of our Prosveta writers, especially of those who sometimes are reminding readers that there are publications in existence that don’t float with the current. In regard to a free press: Yes, there is a free press for somebody in every country. In the U. S. you have the privilege to praise capi- talism, oh pardon, “Free Enter¬ prise,” and denouncing socialism and communism. In the so-callea “iron curtain” countries it’s just the opposite. Have you heard of the “paper curtain”? If you are in doubt, try your nearest press, for instance in Pittsburgh. As for the “ill-fated” Progressive party, it’s more proper if you pass the “ills” to the “popular” parties. Their ills grow bigger and bigger, here and abroad. Remember the time when our wartime “pet” Bear lay wounded. helping us to save our “way of life.” Asking us to help him on his feet, oyr “populars” refused. They turn- ed their attention to our enemy and helped him instead. But when the Bear licked his own wounds, got up on his feet to his full height and began to look at his “friend”, the “friend” became frightened, hid be- hind the atom ,bomb. Stili scared, it is now desperately building bar- ricades behind the H-bomb. You see, if the “ill-fated” Pro¬ gressive party vvould be running the show, they would act as a true samaritan, and ali this barricading would be unnecessary. Do you know, Bro. Kumer, that there is a small, but dominant group among the “populars” who are afraid of peace? They are closely tied with the Vatican. If peace is reached, the Pope’s real estate in Eastern Europe is lost forever. Do you know that the Vatican is the big- gest financial and real estate Cor¬ poration in the vvorld? FRANK MATKOVIČU Comrade Corner CLEVELAND—Viva la Barber- ton! Congratulations to the hard working people of a small town who. really did a grand job of. sposorin^j their first tournament; it could not have been done better in any big city. Mary Apchak is really a glutton for work, as are the Valencheks and many others without whose help it could not have happened. Congrats also to the winners. I believe that the Lodge Cleveland boys’ team took the handicap prize, Mitzi Zad¬ nik, who refuses to leave the Buck- eyes, hit a high of 584 for the sin- gles. Our Paula Špik bowled like once she used to, hitting over 500 actual in each event. I personally make a motion that ali events be bowled hereafter on Sunday morn- ing following a hectic Saturday night. It seems that each event im- proved as we went along. The Cleveland Athletic League is looking into the possibility of chart¬ ering buses for the tournament in Johnstown. Ali bowlers contact your man in charge, so it may be known how many are going and want to go by bus. Comrade bowl- ers, call Joe Fifolt or Bob Yarshen. The February Comrade meeting was poorly attended. Sworn in as new Comrade member was Marion Wolf. Also a new member was Marcella Stadler but not present. Another personable Penna man has applied for membership into our midst, namely, Tony Iskra. He deals in television. The Comrades have acquired a Friday night for a bovvl- ers’ dance in the near future. Ali bowlers will be asked to attend to work and enjoy themselves. Comrade men and women stili leading the leagues. How about it, Comets, let’s do something and get back up there. The Planets hit the big guns last night; they hit a new high of 906. Ann Golob and Pau¬ line Ross contributing with their 192 and 191 games. Sophie Grkman also doing well for the first year of bowling, a high of 140. The Starš knocked out the Comets with a new high series of 2479. Marge and Jean Beljan with Mollie Koren hit¬ ting the maples down 10 at a time. Mickey Može taking the honors for the losers, the Rockets. Rose Bau¬ man hitting a high game of 160 against team 12 for the Spartans. Rose Mihcic leading the 12 team with a 142. Lucy Lepold leading the Napredne against the Sportans who were led by Jo Zakeraskis and Frances Kolence. The Comets lost 2 games with only Al Vehar hitting a good 163 and the Concordians having Ann Hoenig, Ann Petruny and Louise Bobatch hitting 160, 167 and 174 respectively. The Lodge Cleveland girls with Rose Knezevich topping the list could not win against the Concordians with Millie Marn blast- ing away with her 186 and 147 games. Milwaukee members are ali cn- thused about their nevv Slovenian Home. The Detroiters convincing evcryone in Barberton that thev should not miss the opening of their New Home in May. What say, Stra¬ bane? I understand that some peo¬ ple are stili waiting for that. invite. FRANCES PREŠEREN, 566 Strabane Pioneers By Peter Elish Frcm V/illiam the Conqueror to Clement Attlee When William the Conqueror sub- dued the native Brittons in 1066, he had some fixed idcas of ruling the subjugated people. Ali Englishmen were removed from responsible government positions. New earls with a few exceptions were of Nor¬ man French blood. These nevv earls vvere entitled to only a single shire apiece, and they were directly re¬ sponsible to the king. To this day the English land theoretically “be- longs” to the crown, and most of the land ovvnership is a “grant” from the king. In order to ascertain the value of the land, William had a searching appraisal made. This he compiled in huge records, and these records vvere termed the “Domesday Book”. The Domesday Book records are stili used to prove points of lavv. At first, the Norman French looked with disdain on the native people. Like other conquerors, they formulated strict class distinctions. This caste system was very rigicl and unbroken. In England, until re- cently, it has been practically im- possible to “jump” from one class to another. This class system witli the law of primogeniture (inherit- ance by the eldest son only) had enlrenched the ruling class position. The Normans however lost their identity, although for nearly four centuries the French language was the official language of the British court. Many Norman French vvords have remained in the English lan¬ guage, especially in court and gov¬ ernment terminologies. Needless to add, the class system has made life difficult for the average Britton. By their very sta- tion in life, the commdn people vvere denied certain privileges of education and employment, not to menlion various Social tabus. Recently a vvriter not in sympathy with the British Labor party had this admission to make in the Scripp-Hovvard chain of papers, “The gradual abolition of class dis- tinction brought about by England’s silent revolution is a great trump card in the Labor Party’s hand.” She continues, “The one-time preroga- tives of the upper and middle classes have almost entirely disap- peared.” In five years, it seems, the Labor Party has abolished nine cen¬ turies of class tradition and distinc- tion. For this act alone, the Labor Party is placed with the immortals from the Gracchi brothers to Lin¬ coln and Franklin D. Roosevelt as the champions of a better life for 'ali the people. Attention, PSWA! CHICAGO —• Attention, P S W A members! Plans for entertainment at our March 10 meeting have been changed. The lecture we had hoped for, is postponed until the next month or so.

Markoff and vvife Della, Jake Kacin, John Yurgec and vvife Mary and daughter Patty. We missed Tillie and Ben Ducote and Sophie Vertovsek, also Stanley Hervatin and v/ife Arline. Too bad, Stan, that lučk was against you this year. He had the misfortune of slipping on icy roof about a month ago and injured his spine and the doetor ordered him to give up bovvling for this year. Our' next meeting will be Friday, March 10, at 8 p. m. sharp, at vvhich time two members will be initiated, a mother and son. A social vvill be held after the meeting. Members, don’t forget to attend and don’t for¬ get the attendance prize. Ben Du¬ cote was the lucky person at the last meeting. Alvin Kacin is reported vvell again and back to school to make up the lost time, Tony Vertovsek left the Missouri Pacific hospital to return home and recuperate some more before he can run after those choo-choos again. Listen, members, if you like to listen to Yankie’s recordings, tune in on sta tion KXLW from 8:15 to 9 every morning, and send in your request piece for ali oecasions; also station WTMV eveiy evening at 6:30, and on Sunday afternoon at 1 o’clock.

STRABANE, Pa.—The regala r monthly meeting of Lodge 589 vvill be held Sunday, March 5, at 7:30 p. rh. at the usual plače. Don’t for¬ get to attend. On Saturday, March 11, the "Four Polka Queens” from Detrpit vvill make their first appearance anywhere in vvestern Penna, at our SNPJ Ballroom, to play for a dance sponsored by our 80-man Johns- town Bovvling League. What Yan- kie is among the men, this girls’ or- chestra is among the vvomen. So don’t fail to come to this dance to either listen or tvvirl arouncl the floor. ■ On Sunday, March 19, Lodge 589 vvill have Phil Levvis and his popu¬ lar band plav a long avvaited return engagement. This band is an estab- lished group in musical circles; they are always a joy to heak and more fun to dance to. We are expecting ali of our friends from Bridgeport, Sharon, Moundsville and Burgetts- tcwn to come out for that evening, as vvell as our friends from lodges near and' far. Bovvling Buzzes—The b u 11 e t i n board in our bovvling alleys shovved that Ray Barbish vvon the $2 prize for men vvith his single game of 224, and for the vvomen, Jane Kes- novvski took the $1 prize vvith her score of 201 single game; John Kes- novvski vvith his 244 single game high and Mary Cu^iarski vvith a 205.

The champs of Strabane for 1950 are Joe Krall, Ed Kocian, Chester Kaminski, Frank Delost, Rudy Krulce, Jim Tomšič, and Frank Barbish. The defending champ of 1949 is Frank Tomšič. The contest is the main topič around the Club these days. Pioneer Personals—Our lodge bovvlers and friends vvant to thank their very gracious hosts and host¬ esses in Barberton for the lovely time had by ali of us here, especial- ly the popular Frank Marsek and his charming “Pioneerette” vvife Josie vvho had the vvhole gang up to their house for dinner. We met other old friends there like Andy and Agnes Nedok of Barberton. Lovely Agnes was a former Pioneer too. Her uncle is our ovvn popular Joe Novak, so she buzzes into tovvn frequently. Cleveland had a lot of representatives and, like Barberton, they claim a lot of former Pioneers. It is always so niče to meet vvith old friends at such affairs and it is doubly niče to knovv that our SN¬ PJ means so much to our social lives. Women hold their ovvn in the lodge field as so many of our lodges elected vvomen presidents. The Buckeyes have the charming Mary Apchak as their president and she is doing a good job too. Our Valentine party vvas a hilari- ous thing. Everyone had a vvonder- ful time and it was a big crovvd, too, much more than at first ex- peeted due to the times. The “floor shovv” vvas really something that vve vvill long remember. The men had complete charge of it. Yes, our parties are something that none of us ever forget. We vvere glad to see one of our popular pinboys back on the job. Kenny Mavrich vvas in the hospital vvith pneumonia a vvhile back.

VIDER, glavni tajnik V torek dne 21. februarja se je v hotelu Morrison v Chicagu vršila letna konvencija Illinoiskega bratskega kongresa, katerega članica je naša jednota in tako sva bila s predsednikom delegirana po izvršnem odseku, da zastopava organizacijo na omenjenem zbo¬ rovanju. 'Udeležba ie bila izred- __ no velika, kar pomeni, da so bile organizacije, ki so včlanjene, do¬ bro zastopane. Zborovanje je nekaj minut po določenem času otvoril John C. Phillips, predsednik kongresa, po običajnih “ceremonijah”, ka¬ kršne so še vedno v praksi - pri voditeljih te vrste organizacij. Po kratkem nagovoru nam je predstavil predsednika Narodne¬ ga bratskega kongresa, George G. Perrina, kateri je imel — ka¬ kor je bilo v programu poveda¬ no — pozdraviti zborovalce. Me¬ sto pozdrava pa je mož v tri če¬ trturnem govoru slavil privatno podjetništvo in strašil navzoče, da v to deželo prihaja socializem in da je socialno zavarovanje iz- rod omenjene teorije, kakor tu¬ di nevarna predloga “državno zdravljenskega zavarovanja.” Povedal nam je, da je nižja zbor¬ nica kongresa pred kratkem in brez šuma prejela dodatni iz¬ boljšani zakon socialne zaščite”, proti katerem je glasovalo samo 35 kongresnikov. Sedaj je treba naše akcije in sicer takoj, je na- glašal, če hočemo preprečiti, da tudi senat ne odobri tega — za ameriške davkoplačevalce — škodljivega z a v a r ovanja. Če pojde tako naprej, je dostavil, tedaj se v petih ali šestih letih znajdemo v — “socializmu” . . . Ko je zaključil svoj govor, je žel veliko odobravanje. Nato se je oglasil za besedo delegat in vprašal mr. Perrina, če ne bi bi¬ lo priporočljivo, da bi ta kon¬ gres podvžel akcijo proti takim nevarnim zakonom in da bi se v tem smislu sprejela resolucija, ki naj bi se poslala na pristojna mesta. Predsednik Narodnega bratskega kongresa je takoj po¬ jasnil, da ima že pripravljeno za¬ devno resolucijo in če jo hoče Nova čistka se obeta v Bolgariji Bivši podpredsednik vlade aretiran Milan, Italija. —Donald Heath. bivši ameriški poslanik v Sofiji, je dejal, da je dobil poročilo iz zanesljivega vira, da je bil An¬ ton Jugov, bivši podpredsednik bolgarske komunistične vlade, aretiran. Iz tega sklepa, da se bo pričela nova čistka v Bolga¬ riji. Heath je dospel v Milan po odhodu iz Sofije. On je bil od¬ poklican kot poslanik, ko je Amerika pretrgala diplomatske odnošaje z Bolgarijo. Na sestan¬ ku s časnikarji je izjavil, da je možnost, da bo več pristašev po¬ kojnega premierja Dimitrova odstranjenih z visokih pozicij. Jugov je bil notranji minister v vladi premierja Dimitrova. Kot podpredsednik bolgarske vlade je bil odstavljen pred ne¬ kaj tedni. On je bil tudi član eksekutivnega odbora bolgarske komunistične stranke. Heath in 47 članov njegovega štaba se je ustavilo v Milanu na poti v Pariz. V francoski pre¬ stolnici se bodo mudili nekaj dni in potem odpotovali domov. Heath je dejal, da je v Bolgariji ostalo še 58 ameriških državlja¬ nov no prelomu diplomatičnih odnošajev. Moskva. — Pravda, glasilo ko¬ munistične stranke, je označila prelom diplomatičnih odnošajev /z Bolgarijo za odprto agresijo, politiko ameriškega državnega departmenta pa za izsiljevanje. Pravda je napovedala polom ameriške politike v vzhodni Ev- ropi. List trdi, da je bil poslanik Heath špion. Bolgarska vlada je razkrinkala aktivnosti agentov ameriških imperialistov. zbornica slišati, jo bo prečital, nakar se lahko voli o isti. Re¬ solucija, katero je predložil, ob¬ soja in pobija izboljšanje zakona socialne zaščite, kakor tudi vsak poskus vpeljati državno zdrav¬ stveno zavarovanje. Resolucija je takoj po prečkanju dobila za¬ dostno podporo, nakar je pred¬ sedujoči predsednik vprašal, kaj si zbornica misli o resoluciji. Ker se nihče ni priglasil za be¬ sedo, se oglasim in povem predl- sedniku, da se moje ime zanese v zapisnik, da sem proti predlo¬ ženi resoluciji, katera je proti principom naše organizacije. Utemeljil sem svoje razloge ter navzoče opozoril, kako je pred leti tudi zakon o socialni zaščiti pred Illinoiskim državnim brat¬ skim kongresom naletel na od¬ por, katera zakonodaja se je pa v teku let izkazala dobra in za ameriško lju*dstvo koristna. Tu¬ di brezposelnost bolj in bolj trka na vrata in tako je potreba tudi od strani vlade, da nekaj za ljud¬ stvo stori. V Washingtonu ni socialistov, s katerimi nas straši mr. Perrin, ampak razmere de¬ žele pritiskajo na odgovorne fak¬ torje ali zastopnike ljudstva, da se ganejo in nekaj storijo, dokler je še čas. Bodimo realisti in glejmo resnici v oko in skušaj¬ mo pomagat reševati važne pro¬ bleme dežele kot odrašeni ljudje mesto s strašenj err?, s katerim lahko le škodujemo našemu ljud¬ stvu sem zaključil. Nato je ne¬ ki delegat predlagal, da se o re¬ soluciji podrobno - razpravlja, ka¬ teri predlog je bil podpiran. To¬ da predsednik se ni držal par¬ lamentarnega reda in je dal na glasovanje najprej predlog in ne protipredlog, da se resolucijo o- dobri, kateri je bil z veliko ve¬ čino sprejet. Protipredlog je to¬ talno ignoriral. Tako je Illi- noiski bratski kongres sklenil, da je proti izboljšanju zakona socialne zaščite in tudi proti dr¬ žavnemu zdravstvenemu zavaro¬ vanju. Če bi bilo na konvenciji vsaj kakšnih pet delegatov, ki bi si upali podpreti moje stališče, sem skoro gotov, da bi bil rezultat drugačen, tako pa je moj glas ostal — glas upijočega v puščavi. Da se je v dandanašnjih raz¬ merah bolj težko postaviti na stran delovnega ljudstva pred ameriško publiko, ker je nevar¬ no, da ti pritisnejo pečat enega ali drugega “izma,” je že res, to¬ da zgolj besedičenje le po dru¬ štvenih sejah pa tudi veliko ne pomeni. Kongresniki in tako tu¬ di senatorji se mnogo bolj ozi¬ rajo na zaključke omenjene vr¬ ste bratskih zborovanj, nego na kakšne proteste od strani naših konvencij. Izgovori, da hoditi na taka zborovanja je brezuspe¬ šno, nimajo prave podlage, vsaj toliko časa ne, dokler nismo o tem povsem prepričani. Treba je napraviti poskuse in če se iz¬ jalovijo, šele tedaj bi imeli opra¬ vičeno trditi, da smo tam brez moči. Newyorška zbornica zahteva preiskavo lojalnosti Achesona Albany, N. Y,—Državna zbor¬ nica pod kontrolo republikancev je pozvala kongres, naj odredi preiskavo lojalnosti državnega tajnika Achesona. - Zahteva je v resoluciji, ki je bila sprejeta s 125 proti 21 glasovom v poslan¬ ski zbornici in potem poslana višji zbornici. Proti resoluciji so glasovali demokrati. Resolu¬ cija obsoja Achesona, ker je iz¬ javil, da ne bo obrnil hrbta Al- gerju Hissu, bivšemu visokemu uradniku v državnem depart- mentu, ki je bil pred nekaj te¬ dni na obravnavi pred federal¬ nim sodiščem spoznan za krive¬ ga, da je izročal tajne dokumen¬ te departmenta ruskim agentom. Obravnava proti rudarski uniji v Washingtonu Federalni sodnik Keech zavrnil predlog od¬ vetnika unije za umaknitev obtožbe. Pogaja¬ nja med reprezentanti unije in operatorji pre¬ trgana. — Policija zaščitila prostore dveh kom- panij Kajšek bo prevzel predsedništvo Kitajski nacionalisti napadli ameriška parnika Tajpej, Formoza. —Generalisi- mo Čiang Kajšek je naznanil, da bo ponovno prevzel predsedni¬ štvo nacionalistične Kitajske 1. marca in vrhovno poveljstvo na¬ cionalistične armade. Obem po¬ zicijam se je odpovedal v janu¬ arju lani, preden so komunisti¬ čne sile okupirale Nanking, kjer je bil sedež nacionalistične vlade. Predsedništvo je potem pre¬ vzel podpredsednik Li Cungjen. On je sedaj v bolnišnici v New Yorku, kjer se je podvrgel ope¬ raciji. Kajškovo naznanilo ne ome¬ nja, ali je Cungjen odobril akci¬ jo. V kratki izjavi, katero je objavila časniška agentura, pra¬ vi Kajšek: “Odločil sem se za ponovno prevzetje pozicije pred¬ sednika nacionalistične Kitajske. Odkar je Cungjen odpotoval v Ameriko, je nacionalistična Ki¬ tajska brez predsednika in vr¬ hovnega poveljnika oboroženih sil. Situacija se je poslabšala po sklenitvi pogodbe med komuni¬ stično Kitajsko in Sovjetsko uni¬ jo. Iz tega razloga in iz name¬ na, da zadovoljim ljudstvo, sem se odločil za prevzetje predsed- ništva in vrhovnega poveljstva nacionalistične armade.” New York. — Kitajski naciona¬ listični letalci so napadli dva ameriška parnika v Cingtaoju, pristaniščnem mestu severne Ki¬ tajske, ki je pod komunistično kontrolo. Tarča bomb sta bila parnika Pioneer Dale in Flying Clipper. Prvi je lastnina druž¬ be United States Lines, drugi pa Isbrandtsen Co. Kapitan parni¬ ka Pioneer Dale je poročal, da je bil en član posadke ranjen. Uradniki v Washingtonu so iz¬ javili, da skušajo kitajski nacio¬ nalisti raztegniti blokado na vse kitajske luke, ki so pod kontrolo komunistov. Amerika še vedno priznava kitajsko nacionalistično vlado, dočim so Velika Britani¬ ja, Rusija in nekatere druge dr¬ žave priznale komunistični re¬ žim v Peipingu. Ruska izjava o atomski energiji Glasilo vlade udarilo po ameriških kapitalistih Moskva. — Izvestja, glasilo vlade, so objavila izjavo o atom¬ ski energiji. Ta vsebuje napad na ameriške kapitaliste in ob- dolžitve, da skušajo na vsak na¬ čin preprečiti, da se ne bi atom¬ ska sila upregla za koristne na¬ mene. Glasilo vlade izraža prepriča¬ nje, da bo Sovjetska unija izko¬ ristila atomsko energijo za o- gromne spremembe v narodni ekonomiji in socialnem življe¬ nju. Napovedala je prihod no¬ ve dobe, v kateri bo atomska energija temeljito spremenila procese produkcije dobrin. Značilno je, ker je glasilo so¬ vjetske vlade objavilo izjavo v momentu, ko se slišijo sugesti¬ je za obnovo razgovorov med Ameriko in Sovjetsko unijo gle¬ de mednarodne kontrole atom¬ ske energije. Glasilo je poveza¬ lo atomsko silo s slovito dekla¬ racijo, katero je podal Lenin pred 30 leti. Takrat je Lenin izjavil: “Komunizem je sovjet¬ ska sila z elektrifikacijo vse de¬ žele.” V nasprotju z Leninovo izjavo je glasilo sovjetske vlade orisalo sliko v Združenih državah, v ka¬ terih privatni kapitalistični in¬ teresi igrajo glavno vlogo. Na¬ glasilo je, da so ti interesi proti upreženju atomske energije za miroljubne namene, ker bi bile prizadete njihove investicije v transportaciji, premogovnikih in POLJEDELSKI TAJNIK UDARIL PO OPOZICIJI Obdolžil jo je, da hoče potisniti male far¬ marje k steni Des Moines, la. — Poljedelski tajnik Charles F. Brannan je v svojem govoru v tem mestu udrihal po nasprotnikih njegove¬ ga načrta stoodstotne paritete in jih obdolžil, da skušajo potisni¬ ti male farmarje k steni. Tarča njegove kritike je bil Allen B. Kline, predsednik American Farm Bureau Federation. Njega in njegove podpornike je Brannan obdolžil, “da se bri¬ gajo le za svoje interese in da so pripravljeni igrati divjo igro v škodo malim farmarjem. Ra¬ di bi žrtvovali male farmarje za svoje lastne koristi. Ti so zago¬ vorniki plazeče lestvice cen, ki običajno gre v eno smer — na¬ vzdol.” Brannanov načrt predvideva vzdrževanje cen poljskih pridel¬ kov z vladnimi subvencijami. Razliko med cenami na tržiščih in onimi, ki jih dobe farmarji za pridelke, izravna vlada. Mali farmarji podpirajo Bran¬ nanov načrt. To so dokazali na zborovanju, na katerem je po¬ ljedelski tajnik govoril. Farmar¬ ji so ustanovili organizacijo, ka¬ tere predsednik je Fred W. Sto- ver. Med onimi, ki vodijo opozi¬ cijo proti načrtu, sta senatorja Thomas in Gillette. Stover je dejal, da bi opozici¬ ja rada pognala male farmarje v položaj, v katerem so bili v dobi depresije pod administraci¬ jo predsednika Hooverja, ko poljski pridelki niso imeli, sko¬ ro nobene cene in je mnogo far¬ marjev izgubila svoja posestva. “Naš namen je preprečenje vrnitve dobe depresije,” je re¬ kel Stover. “Naše metode so me¬ tode miroljubnih državljanov, ki se v glavnem zanimajo za blagostanje ljudstva na splošno. Pritiskali bomo na senatorje in kongresnike za sprejetje Bran- nanovega načrta. Skrbeli bomo, da se bodo naši glasovi slišali v Washingtonu.” Nadaljnja ameriška pomoč evropskim državam Washington, D. C.—Člani kon¬ gresnega pododseka za zrtnanje zadeve so se izrekli za nadaljnjo ameriško pomoč na podlagi Mar¬ shallovega načrta Veliki Brita¬ niji, Franciji in Italiji. Zasliša¬ nje je v teku o priporočilu Tru¬ manove administracije, naj kon¬ gres dovoli dodatno vsoto $2,- 950,000,000 za financiranje eko¬ nomskega okrevanja držav v za- padni Evropi. Mučenje grških političnih jetnikov Lake Success, N. Y. — Sovjet¬ ska delegacija je predložila ko¬ misiji za človeške pravice Zdru¬ ženih narodov spomenico, v ka¬ teri so obdolžit ve, da so grški politični jetniki v koncentracij¬ skih taboriščih žrtve mučenja. Sovjetska delegacija je dobila spomenico od organizacije, ki se imenuje Liga za demokracijo v Grčiji. Obravnava proti brd¬ skemu znanstveniku London. — Dr. Klaus Fuchs, slovit britski znanstvenik, bo pri¬ šel pred sodišče v sredo. Obto¬ žen je, da je izdajal britske in ameriške tajnosti atomskih in vodikovih bomb ruskim agen¬ tom. Fuchs je že priznal krivdo in pričakuje se, da bo obravna¬ va trajala samo dva ali tri dni. javnih napravah. Bojazen pred ekonomsko krizo narekuje za¬ vlačevanje uporabljanje atom¬ ske energije za koristne name¬ ne. Bojazen pred stavko v Parizu Demonstracije proti francoski politiki v Indokini Pariz. — Bojazen pred splošno stavko prometnih delavcev v Parizu se je povečala. Možnost je, da bodo zastavkali tudi de¬ lavci, uposleni v električnih centralah, plinarnah in drugih javnih napravah. Pred štirimi tedni so zastav¬ kali avtni delavci in kovinarji v pariškem distriktu, ker so bile njihove zahteve za zvišanje pla¬ če odbite. Znamenja so, da bo stavka zajela tudi druge indus¬ trije. Policaji in komunisti so se spo¬ padli v bližini vojaških barak v Clingnancouru zunaj Pariza. Po¬ ročilo pravi, da je bilo 27 poli¬ cajev ranjenih v bitki s komu¬ nisti. Komunisti so demonstri¬ rali proti francoski politiki v Indokini. Rebelna grupa v Indokini pod vodstvom Čiminha, v Moskvi iz- vežbanega komunista, skuša str¬ moglaviti vietnamsko vlado, ka¬ tero je ustanovila Francija. To vlado so priznale Amerika, Veli¬ ka Britanija in nekatere druge države. Belgrad bo prizmi Čiminhovo vlado Poslanika Amerike in Francije obvešče¬ na o odločitvi Belgrad. —Jugoslovanska vla¬ da je naznanila, da je sprejela predlog Ho Čiminha, komuni¬ stičnega voditelja in načelnika rebelne vietnamske vlade, ki je bila po vojni ustanovljena v francoski Indokini, za ustanovi¬ tev diplomatičnih odnošajev. To je najbolj senzacionalna poteza maršala Tita od razkola med Ju¬ goslavijo in Kominformo. Ameriški poslanik George V. Allen in Barthemely Epinat, o- pravnik poslov francoskega pb* slaništva v Belgradu, sta bila povabljena- v jugoslovanski zu¬ nanji urad, kjer sta bila obve¬ ščena o odločitvi Titove vlade. Mao Tzetung, vodja komuni¬ stične Kitajske, ni storil še no¬ benega koraka za ustanovitev diplomatičnih odnošajev z Jugo¬ slavijo, čeprav je slednja prizna¬ la njegov režim. Tak korak je storil Čiminh, tesni tovariš Tze- tunga. Znano je, da je Čiminh ljubljenec sovjetske' vlade, zato je značilno, ker je vprašal pre¬ mierja Tita, naj prizna njegov režim v Indokini. Moskva je prej razglasila Tita za sovražni¬ ka Sovjetske unije. Naznanilo pravi, da je jugo¬ slovanski zunanji minister Ed¬ vard Kardelj poslal telegram Nguyenu D. Quyju, reprezen¬ tantu Čiminha v Siamu. “Šte¬ jem si v čast, da vas obvestim o sphejetju obvestila, katerega nam je poslal Ho Čiminh, pred¬ sednik demokratične ljudske vietnamske republike,” pravi telegram. “Obvestilo smo pre¬ jeli 15. februarja. Prosim vas, da informirate vašo vlado, da jugoslovanska vlada rešpektira načela in pravice vseh ljudstev glede neodvisnosti in suvereni- tete. V njenem imenu vam spo¬ ročam, da je sprejela predlog vaše vlade za ustanovitev diplo¬ matičnih odnošajev med drža¬ vama.” Opazovalci v Belgradu so pre¬ pričani, da bo Kardeljev tele¬ gram zabeležen kot naj večji do¬ godek v današnji zgodovini vzhodne Azije. Dočim se zapad- ne države trudijo in iščejo sred¬ stva, da bi ustavile plaz komu¬ nizma v vzhodni Aziji, je očitno, da komunizem prodira naprej. Jugoslovansko priznanje Čimin- hove vlade ie v bistvu težka klo¬ futa zapadnim državam. Washingion, D. C. — Obravna¬ va proti rudarski uniji UMWA se je pričela prjed federalnim distriktnim sodiščem. Unija je obtožena, da se ni pokorila in- junkciji, ki je bila izdana na podlagi Taft-Hartleyevega za¬ kona, da se mora 372,00 stavku- jočih rudarjev na polju mehke¬ ga premoga vrniti na delo. Uni¬ ja je izjavila, da ni kriva. To je že tretja obravnava pro¬ ti uniji na obtožbo preziranja odredbe sodišča od 1. 1946. Na prejšnjih dveh obravnavah je bila spoznana za krivo in mora la je plačati težko denarno ka¬ zen. Ako bo na tej obravnavi spoznana za krivo, jo bo spet doletela težka kazen. Federalno' sodišče je izdalo injunkcijo pro¬ ti uniji 11. februarja, toda stav- karji so jo ignorirali. Izjavili so, da se ne bodo vrnili na delo, dokler ne bo sklenjena nova po¬ godba, ki naj bi nadomestila ono, katere veljavnost je potek¬ la 30. junija lani. Obravnava je samo proti uni¬ ji, ne proti njenemu predsedni¬ ku Johnu L. Lewisu, ki je dva¬ krat pozval stavkarje, naj se vr¬ nejo na delo. Lewis je sedaj v Springfieldu, kjer se je udeležil pogreba svojega brata Thomasa. Kdaj se bo vrnil v Washington, ni znano. Obravnava proti uniji se vrši Domače vesti Nova grobova na zapadu Klein, Mont.—Po dolgi bolezni je 11. febr. umrl Peter Jellar, star 72 let, doma iz Zadrage, fa¬ ra Spodnje Duple, Gorenjsko, v Ameriki 50 let, član društva 132 SNPJ. Bil je tudi tajnik tega društva 14 let — do 1944, ko ga je zadel mrtvoud in od takrat je bil v postelji do smrti. Za¬ pušča ženo Mary, ki je tajnica društva 132, hčer, štiri sinove in tri vnuke, v starem kraju pa sestro. Butte, Mont.—Tukaj je umrla Johana Anzik (Anzelc), rojena Tekavčič, stara 69 let, članica KSKJ, doma iz Lazine pri Hi¬ njah, v Ameriki 45 let. Zapušča štiri sinove in dve hčeri. Bila je korajžna in radodarna. Iz Clevelanda .Cleveland. — Po dolgi bolezni je umrl Joseph Zalar, star 68 let, doma iz Hriblane pri Št. Vidu nad Cerknico, v Ameriki 45 let, član društva Naprej št. 5 SNPJ in ABZ. Zapušča ženo, dva sinova in sestro Johano Po¬ nikvar, v starem kraju pa brata'. — V bolnišnici je po kratki bo¬ lezni umrl Steve Vuga iz Col- linwooda, star 66 let, doma iz Ročinja pri Gorici, Primorsko, v Ameriki 40 let, član društva V boj št. 53 SNPJ in Loyal Order of Moose. Zapušča ženo, dve poročeni hčeri in tri sinove, v Johnstownu, Pa., pa brata An¬ dreja. — Mary Jošt iz Collin- wooda se nahaja v bolnišnici Glenville. Katarina Marash pa v Univerzitetni bolnišnici, kjer se je morala podvreči težki ope¬ raciji. — Rojak Rolih iz Euclida se je vrnil iz bolnišnice, kjer je srečno prestal operacijo. — Vile rojenice so se oglasile pri dru¬ žini Henry Gulich in pustile drugorojenko, enako pri družini Vic Drobnič. Francoska policija zasegla orožje Toulouse, Francija. — Policija je zasegla sedem ton orožja in streliva v Barbazanu, južna Francija. Aretirala je šest Špan¬ cev, ki so izjavili, da so komu¬ nisti. 1 pred federalnim sodnikom Rich¬ mondom B. Keechem. Welly K. Hopkins, odvetnik unije, je predlagal umaknitev obtožbe proti uniji. Izjavil je, da unija ni oklicala stavke in da je sto¬ rila vse, da pridobi stavkarje za vrnitev na delo. Sodnik Keech je zavrnil predlog odvetnika Hopkinsa. Po zavrnitvi predloga je Hopkins izjavil, da se unija odpoveduje pravici do obravna¬ ve pred poroto. Priče federalne vlade bodo nastopile na obravnavi proti uni¬ ji. Sodniku Keechu bo predlože¬ na vsa evidenca, nakar bo on podal odločitev. Kot priče bodo nastopili reprezentanti operator¬ jev. Pogajanja med reprezentanti unije in operatorji so bila sinoči spet pretrgana. Vladni posredo¬ valci so pred pretrganjem poga¬ janj izrazili upanje, da bo prišlo do sporazuma med unijo in ope¬ ratorji. David L. Cole, načelnik odbora za ugotovitev dejstev, katerega je imenoval predsed¬ nik Truman, se je udeležil poga¬ janj. Izjavil je, da pretrganje pogajanj ne smatra za polom. Reprezentanti unije in operator¬ ji bodo ostali v Washingtonu in štor j eni bodo novi poskusi za iz¬ ravnavo konflikta. Chicago. — Policijske enote so zastražile prostore Dealers Coai Co., 3149 So. La Salle St., in Marshall Coal Co., 147 Root st., da jih zaščitijo pred množico, ki se je zbrala v upanju, da bo do¬ bila premog za gretje stanovanj. Ljudje so se zbrali, ko se je razširilo poročilo, da je Dealers Co. dobila štiri vagone premoga, Marshall Coal Co. pa dva vago¬ na. Premog je bil kmalu pro¬ dan. Ljudje so ga dobili v od¬ merkih. V vseh krajih mesta se čuti pomanjkanje premoga. Com- monwealth Edison Co. je zniža¬ la porabo električne sile za 17 odstotkov in s tem prihranila 4,600 ton premoga. Državna tr¬ govinska komisija je odredila znižanje porabe električne sile za 25 odstotkov. Več industrij je omejilo obrat zaradi pomanj¬ kanja premoga. Bolgarija zaprta ameriškim državljanom Državni department prepovedal obiske Washingion, D. C. — Amerika je prepovedala svojim državlja¬ nom vstop v Bolgarijo, satelitko Sovjetske unije, s katero je prej¬ šnji teden pretrgala diplomatič- ne odnošaje. “Potni listi, izdani ali obnov¬ ljeni v Ameriki in vseh ameri¬ ških zunanjih uradih, bodo do¬ bili pečate, da niso veljavni za potovanje po Bolgariji,” pravi n a z na n i 1 o državnega depart¬ menta. Državni department je prepo¬ vedal državljanom potovanje po Ogrskem 20. decembra, ker ni ogrska vlada dala zagotovila za normalno zaščito Američanov, toda department ni pretrgal di¬ plomatičnih odnošajev z Ogrsko. Michael J. Dermott, uradnik državnega departmenta, je de¬ jal, da je okrog 60 ameriških dr¬ žavljanov v Bolgariji in okrog 200 na Ogrskem. Ti ne bodo po¬ zvani domov. Ako bi kdo izmed teh zapustil Bolgarijo ali Ogr¬ sko, ne bo dobil ameriškega pot¬ nega lista za povratek. PROSVETA SREDA, 1.

Chicagu je v polnem teku. Ako bomo vsi delali za to pri¬ redbo kot en mož, potem bo fi¬ nančno in moralno uspela. Ker je to prva priredba vseh štirih društev, bi morali z njo preko¬ siti vse priredbe, ki smo jih še cdaj imeli v S. Chicagu. Sharon, Pa. —Kampanja za no¬ ve člane se je končala 28. febru¬ arja. Pri našem društvu nismo mogli dosti doseči glede novih novih članov dozorelo; in to po¬ sebno še tam, kjer ste to polje posejali z angleško poslujočimi društvi. S tem ste zatrli še zad¬ njo bilko za pridobivanje novih članov v stara društva. Torej mi, stari odborniki in člani smo se dolga leta žrtvo- 1 vali za SNPJ vsled njenih načel Volitve delegatov in stari člani Zadnjo sredo smo poročali o raznih sklepih letne seje glavnega odbora, ki je med drugim zaključil, da se prične naša prihodnja konvencija 21. avgusta v novem Slovenskem narodnem domu Detroitu. Pri tej točki nas je presenetilo poročilo, da se je med našimi Detroitčani raznesla vest, da je gl. izvrševalni odbor proti temu, da bi se konvencija vršila v SND, marveč v hotelu. Pre¬ senetilo nas je to, ker na sejah eksekutive ni bilo niti govora o tem. Nekomu se je menda sanjalo in je potem to “vest” raz¬ nesel po Detroitu. Bilo je torej nepotrebno razburjenje. Br Andy Grum nam je dal zagotovilo, da bo v novem in starem SND dovolj prostora za vse potrebe konvencije — na razpolago tudi dovolj malih dvoran za zborovanje konvenčnih odborov. Datum konvencije je torej določen, kakor tudi prostor. Pra¬ vila pa določajo, kako in kdaj se vrše volitve delegatov in kdo je lahko kandidat. In pravila določajo, da morajo biti te volitve izvršene med prvim majem in 30. junijem konvenčnega leta, to¬ rej se bodo pričele čez dva meseca. Volitve delegatov pred tem datumom ali po tem datumu ne bodo veljavne. To omenjamo- iz razloga, ker je od par društev že prišlo poročilo, da bodo že na marčni seji “nominirali” delegata. Ker pravila nikjer ne do¬ ločajo, da se delegate sme nominirati pred omenjenim rokom, to je pred sejo, na kateri so volitve, bodo društva storila bolje, da se drže pravil. Sploh se mora vsako društvo tudi pri volitvah delegatov držati pravil. Ker je v jednoti precejšnje število društev, ki štejejo manj ko sto članov v odraslem oddelku, pravila tudi določajo, da se mo¬ rajo ta društva v svrho zastopstva na konvenciji združiti pred prvim majem v svrho izvolitve skupnega delegata. Vsako dru¬ štvo mora samo določiti, s katerim društvom se spoji v ta namen, in sicer je potrebno, da ta društva že pred volivnim rokom — pred prvim majem — napravijo ta dogovor. To je določno po¬ vedano v pravilih. Združevanje po prvem maju v svrho izvolitve delegata bi bilo proti pravilom. Manjša društva bodo torej storila pravilno, da si že v marcu ali najpozneje do konca aprila poiščejo svoje “partnerje” v svrho izvolitve skupnega delegata. To omenjamo že zdaj iz razloga, da se manjša društva izog¬ nejo nepravilnostim in sitnostim, ki se na tem področju rade dogajajo pred vsako konvencijo. Potem pa je zamera in slaba volja, če so pozneje nepravilne volitve razveljavljene, odnosno če konvencija ne prizna sedeža nepravilno izvoljenim delegatom. Naj te vrstice torej služijo kot opozorilo na pravilno postopanje v zvezi z volitvami delegatov. Pravila so v tem jasna in nihče se ne more izgovarjati, da jih ne razume. Toliko o tem. it Pri nas je navada, da se pred vsako konvencijo razvije raz¬ prava v glasilu o raznih vprašanjih in problemih, ki pridejo pred konvencijo. V zadnjih 20 letih so se predkonvenčne razprave navadno največ sukale okrog vprašanja, “kaj naj storimo za po¬ moč starim članom?” Bilo je mnogo govorjenja in grmenja, toda malo dežja. Razlog za slednje je bil deloma v tem, ker bi radi nekaj dobili za nič, deloma pa v tem, ker bi ne mogli dosti sto¬ riti niti v primeru, da bi bili pripravljeni taksirati se. O vprašanju starih članov, kako jim vsaj nekoliko pomagati; se je oglasilo že več članov. Sploh se zopet obeta široka razprava o tem. In s tem vprašanjem se je bavil tudi glavni odbor na zadnji seji. Kakor je bilo že poročano, je glavni odbor poveril eksekutivo, da izdela dva načrta za konvencijo. En načrt naj določa, da jednota plača asesment vsem članom, starim 65 ali več, v jednoti 35 let ali več, brez ozira, če so v potrebi ali ne, obenem naj eksekutiva preračuna, koliko približno bi to stalo jednoto, odnosno koliko bi bilo treba povišati asesment v ta namen. To je razmeroma lahko približno dognati. V jednoti je okrog 5,600 članov, starih. 65 let ali več. Koliko teh članov je 35 let v jednoti, nam ni točno znano, toda sodi se, da to število znaša ali bo znašalo v prihodnjih par letih okrog 4,000. Če vzamemo, da je povprečni asesment na člana $2.20, bi skupen asesment teh članov (4,000) znašal okrog $8,800 na mesec ali $105,600 na leto, kar znese približno 17c mesečno na člana. To pomeni, da bi morali zvišati asesment v sklad izrednih podpor okrog 15c, ako bi tega sklada ne hoteli izčrpati. Če je članstvo pripravljeno to storiti, potem se bo lahko uvedel ta sistem — “vsi ali pa nobeden.” Drugi načrt naj določa, da jednota plača asesment vsem onim starim članom iz navedene grupe, ki bi vprašali zanj, ne glede če so v potrebi ali ne, toda plačevanje njih asesmenta bi šlo na račun njih smrtnine, odnosno na račun njih dedičev. Torej če je članstvo proti prej omenjenemu povišanju asesmenta za 15c v sklad izrednih podpor, tedaj bi bil izhod v tem načrtu — da se asesment za člane, stare 65 let ali več, v jednoti 35 let ali več, plačuje na račun njih smrtnine, na račun njih dedičev, ako tako 7e ; e - ^ em bi ne bilo vprašanje, ali je član v potrebi ali ni. Odločil bi sam, njegovi dediči bi po njegovi smrti pa prejeli- toliko manj, kolikor bi bilo vplačanega asesmenta iz jednotine blagajne na račun njegove zavarovalnine. Kdor želi nekaj za nič, ali pa na račun drugih, se seveda ne bo zadovoljil ne s prvim ne z drugim načrtom. Prvi načrt bi prizadel vse člane, ker bi morali vsi plačevati 15 do 20 centov več asesmenta v sklad izrednih podpor- nego sedaj. Drugi načrt pa bi prizadel dediče onih starih članov, ki bi se poslužili te->a sistema. Alternativa ali izhod je v tem, da ostane pri sedanjem sistemu te podpore, ali pa da kdo pogrunta kak boljši sistem. Toda naj zopet poudarimo: brez nič bo nič tudi jutri. Glede tega vprašanja se bo moralo članstvo opredeliti za prvi ali za drugi od prej navedenih načrtov, to je, če ie večina proti sedanjemu sistemu, ki ima svojo dobro in slabo stran. Slaba stran je v tem. da se mora član tako rekoč ponižati na berača, vpraša /.a plačevanje njegovega asesmenta 1/. sklada izrednih Milan Medvešek.

Neki član pa je zapisal, da ne bo iz te moke kruha in da naj vse skupaj. prepustimo glavne¬ mu odboru, da bo že on vse sto¬ ril, kar je mogoče storiti. Moje mnenje pa je, da smo vsi enako¬ pravni člani SNPJ in zato ima¬ mo tudi,vsi pravico podati svoje mnenje o teh zadevah. Resnica je, da smo prišli s predlogi za podporo starim čla¬ nom 44 let prepozno, toda, bratje in sestre SNPJ, ali ne bi bilo bo¬ lje sedaj kot nikoli? Vprašanje je, kateri član je potreben podpore in kateri ne. Ta beseda je delala preglavice preteklim konvencijam in jih bo še delala. Član, ki je star 60 let, lahko še vedno koristi jednoti, bodisi gmotno ali moralno.

" ' , 1 vili elanov visoko pristojbino.! Jacob Pajnich Mary Gornick SREDA, 1. MARCA 1950 PROSVETA 1 G iz PROTI ZVIŠANJU ASDSMENTA Neffs, O. — Pazljivo sem čital 'zapisnik izvršnega odseka SNPJ z dne 4. jan. 1950, kateri se bavi s plačevanjem asesmenta za sta¬ re člane. V tem zapisniku je re¬ čeno med drugim, ako bodo ru¬ darji zopet dobivali penzije, bo¬ do morali pozneje jednoti povr¬ niti prispevke, katere sedaj pre¬ jemajo. Po mojem mnenju ni pravil¬ no, da bi oni jednoti morali po¬ vrniti prispevke. V Prosveti za¬ sledujem razne sugestije glede plačevanja asesmenta za stare člane. Nekateri priporočajo, da bi se povišal asesment. Jaz sem proti povišanju, ker mi že sedaj plačujemo'dosti visoke prispev¬ ke. Ako bi prišlo do povišanja, bi morali mnogi člani, kateii že sedaj komaj zmagujejo pla¬ čevanja asesmenta, pustiti jeano- to. Posebno bi bili prizadeti ru¬ darji, ker smo zaposleni samo pol leta. V Prosveti sem tudi čital pri¬ poročilo nekega člana iz Illi¬ noisa, kateri priporoča, da bi konvencija zvišala plače glav¬ nim odbornikom. Ne kritiziram rad, toda sem primoran. Dotič- :nega člana bi vprašal, ako ve. kakšne plače imajo glavni od¬ borniki, ako pa ne ve, naj po¬ gleda v zapisnik zadnje konven¬ cije. Dobro bi bilo, da bi vsakdo primerjal njihovo plače s plačo drugega delavca. Glavni odbor¬ niki so redno plačani vsak teden in ne izgubijo nobenega dneva, dočim povprečen delavec izgubi plačo mnogo dni v mesecu in letu. Glede pokojnine za glavne od¬ bornike in jednotine uslužbence, je moje mnenje, da se ne more vpeljati pokojnina zanje, ne da bi zvišali asesmenta. Društva naj izvolijo dobre de¬ legate, da bodo delali v korist starih članov in proti povišanju asesmenta. Mnogi člani pišejo, da že dol¬ go časa plačujejo za asesment svojih otrok. Tudi jaz plačujem in bom plačeval še nadalje, sa¬ mo da jih pridržim v jednoti. Zakaj pišem vse to? Zato, ker sem mnenja, da bo jednota do¬ bro poslovala toliko časa, dokler bomo imeli v uradu stare urad¬ nike in stare člane v društvih. Čez 15 ali 20 let pa bo velik pre¬ obrat. Z denarjem, katerega jednota danes kupiči, se bo ma¬ stila bodisi država ali pa kakšna druga zavarovalna družba, zato pa sem proti vsakemu povišanju asesmenta.

Večkrat se sliši, da je tudi na¬ ša gostilna premajhna, posebno ob času priredb. V načrtu ima¬ mo, da jo bomo povečali prej ko bo mogoče. Vse to bo stalo ve¬ liko denarja, zato pa je potrebna kooperacija od vseh. Prosimo več zanimanja za naše podjetje in manj osebnosti, pa bomo po¬ časi vse dobro izpeljali.

Maškeradna veselica društva Li¬ lije je bila velik uspeh. Zopet smo napolnili našo lastno dvora¬ no do zadnjega kotička. Da ne bom tratil časa in jemal preveč prostora v našem časopi¬ su, bom omenil samo kar je važ¬ no in potrebno. Hvala gre vsem društvom oziroma članom, ki so nas posetili. Društvo Vijolica je sicer majhno društvo, a veli¬ ko, kadar gre za dobro stvar. To je pokazalo na Lilijini maške- radni veselici. Članice tega dru¬ štva so v resnici bile tam kot velika družina SNPJ. Nosile so ime organizacije Združenih dru¬ štev. Ne smemo pozabiti pridnih de¬ lavcev in naših kuharic, katere so darovale zastonj razne dobro¬ te. Za vse se vam Lilijevci lepo zahvaljujemo. Naj omenim, da gre organiza¬ cija Združenih društev naprej po začrtani poti. Člani SNPJ, vaša dolžnost je, da postanete člani te plemenite organizacije. Čla¬ narina ni velika, a postali boste lastnik tega našega kolektivnega podjetja, na kar boste ponosni poznejša leta, rtamreč da je tudi vaše ime med onimi člani, ka¬ teri žrtvujejo vsaj nekaj za svoj narod v naši naselbini. Zadnja direktorska seja Zdru¬ ženih društev je odobrila več važnih sklepov. Naša dekleta gospodinjskega kluba in obenem naša desna roka so se večkrat pogovarjala o večji kuhinji, ker je sedanja premajhna. Bilo je odobreno, da naš gospodinjski klub dobi novo in moderno ku¬ hinjo. Z delom bomo pričeli v kratkem. Naj na tem mestu takoj ome¬ nim. da bo gospodinjski klub pri¬ redil 5, marca zopet kartno za- do odprla ob treh popoldne, kon cert pa se bo pričel točno ob ! 4. uri. Donela bo spet lepa slo¬ venska Desem. Na sporedu bo nastopilo oet pevskih zborov, ka¬ teri se bodo kosali med seboj. J.
