NUMBER 213 Acceptance for mailing at special rate of postage provided for in section 1103, Act of Oct. 3, 1917, authorized on June 4, 1918, “America^ Fighting Heritage” THE RIGHT TO OPPOSE WAR -AT ANY TIME t B Y Elmer A. Benson National Chairman, Progressive Parly “U is the right and duty of citizens who love peace and who believe in mamtaimng the high ideals for mhich our government has stood to inauire whether the war xs rtghteous and justifiable, and if it is not . . . to de- nounce it and demand that it shall cease.” Hon. Robert H, Morse, who spoke those words as he demanded an end to the U.S. war against the Philip- pines on April 4, 1899, believed that rights were for citizens to exercise and duties were to be performed. Is this any* less true in our day of atomized super-war—or is it more true? William Lloyd Garrison, who in the Mexican War of 1846-48 scorned “My country, right or vvrong” as a “profligate motto,” urged good citi¬ zens to “protest against the war . . . unmoved by the clamors of the vile, and undeterred by any of the man- dates of Government.” Shall we now stand in fear of these false clamors of “Treason” and “Sedi- tion?” Or shall we exercise the Con- stitutional right Morse and Garrison invoked, the duty of which they re- minded us, to oppose unrighteous war in time of war? To the fearfui and the clamorers alike I recorrmend study of that Constitution which should and must be our yardstick as Americans. With purposeful clarity, to prevent future misinterpretation, it thus defines treason, the one political crime (Art. III, Sec. iii): Treason against the U.S. shall consist only in levving war against them, or in adhering to their ene- mies. giving them aid and comfort. No person shall be convicted of treason unless on the testimony of two witnesses to the same overt act or on confession in open court. "Artificial Treason”: The framers of the Contitution had a purpose in thus narro\ving the limits of politi- ral crime. It vvas explained in The Federalist (written by James-Madi- son, Alexander Hamilton and John Jay to explain the Constitution to the people), Vol. XXXIII: As new fangled and artificial treasons have been the great en, gines by which violent factions, the natural offsprings of govern¬ ment, have usually wreaked their alternate malignity on each other, the convention have, with great judgment, opposed a barrier to this peculiar danger, by inserting a con- stitutional definition of the crime, fixing the proof necessary for the convičtion of it, and restraining Congress, even in punishing it, from extending the consequences beyond the person of its author. Yet stili the people insisted that the limits of political crime be fur- ther narrovved and defined so that human rights be better proteeted against property rights. The Bill of Rights with its guarantees of free speech, press and assembly achieved one of the primary goals of the Rev- olution—to get. rid of the English common-law concept of sedition, the biggest legal barrier to discussion of public issues in the colonies. It was a concept from the old vvorld, born out of the divine-right theory that government was the master and therefore not subject to censure and criticism by its subjeets. the people. The American Revolution made the people master, the government their servant and subjcct not only to censure and criticism, but even (as the Declaration of Independence proclaimed) to overthrow. In this view of goverpment there could be no crime of sedition in the old- world sense. No Treason in Words: The Bill of Rights and the Constitution’s defini¬ tion of treason smashed the concept of verbal treason. Words do not constitute an overt act. The men who fought for American independ¬ ence clearly intended to abolish for- ever prosecutions for criticism of the government without any incite- ment to law-breaking. But the Bill of Rights did more than draw boundaries which gov¬ ernment could not overstep. It laid down within those boundaries cer- tain fundamental policies of Ameri¬ can life, demanding that ali branch- es of the government respect and implement them. Public discussion of ali public af- fairs was to be unrestrieted, said the First Amendment. In his Free Speech in War Time, first published in 1920, Zechariah Chaffee, Jr., pointed out: The First Amendment protects lwo kinds of interests in free speech. There is an individual in- terest, the need of many men to express their opinion on matters vital to them if life is to be worth living. and a social interesi in the attainment of truth so that the country may not only adopt the Viisest course of aetion but can.: it out in the wisest way. This social interest is particularly important in wartime. Na Curtain on Truth: Is it not pre- cisely in wai'time that this “social interest” in free speech is most apt to be ignored on grounds of “public safety?” Yet it is also the time when knowledge of the truth is most vital- ly important. Thus in war even more than in peace public safety and the search for truth must be vveighed carefully against each other to find the boundary of free speech. If the First Amendment means any- thing, it must apply to those activi- ties of government which are most liable to interfere with free public discussion, such as over the under- taking and the conduct of war. The Supreme Court—in the Milli- gan čase just after the Civil War— ruled: The Constitution of the U.S. is a law for rulers and people equally in war and peace, and covers with the shield of its protection ali classes of men at ali times and un¬ der ali circumstances. . . . No doc- trine is more pernicious than that any of its great provisions can be suspended during any of the great exigencies of government. That leads directlv to anarchy and des- potism. The Challenge: Written into the Constitution by the revolutionary founders of our nation, these princi- ples have been affirmed again and again by American lavv and tradi- tion—but only as men have fought for them in each succeeding genera- tion. The fight to affirm them anew and set our nation back on a course of probity and full democratic rights Among the first medical men to sign up in Baltimore under the new law drafting doctors are Dr. John Woyiowlz (left) and Dr. E. Irvin Neserke.

President William Green, who ex- pressed the hope that they would soon be revised so that average farriilies will have a chance at do¬ cent homes. The Federal Reserve Board and the Housing and Home Finance Agency designed the measures to falls now upon the progressives of America. We do not intend to shirk the challenge. Y0UR DOLLAR By CONSUMERS UNION Willys Station Wagon The Willys Station Wagon proved to be an efficient short-haul utility car in Consumers Union’s road tests. It was not a comfortable passenger car and was a tiring car to drive long distances, according to Con- sumer Reports. Compactness, man- euverability, maximum cargo space for its size, excellent traetion on slippery roads and outstanding economy distinguished this 6-pas- senger utility vehicle. Paper Towels Only two of 23 brands of perfor- ated-roll paper towels tested by Consumers Union were found to be outstanding in over-all quality. They were Scot (17c) and Gocjd Housekeepei's Green Label (18c). Princess (13c), the cheapest of ali brands tested, rated next. Accord¬ ing to Consumers Report, wet strength was considered first in im- portance in the tests because with low wet strength, towels tend to disintegrate in use. Besides the towels mentioned, CU rated the fol- lowing brands high: Zee, 15c; Seda, 17c; Co-Op (East- ern Cooperatives Inc.), 15c; and Statler (28c for large roli). The prices are the averages paid by CU shoppers. Applesauce The U. S. Dcpt. of Agriculture tested 50 brands of applesauce for Consumers Union and found 32 to be U. S. Grade A or Fancy. Two were rated Substandard because of defeets. Applesauce, according to Consumer Reports, makes a good dessert and a tasty accompaniment to other dishes, but it lacks any outstanding nutritive qualities. It is low in vitamin content compared with other processed fruits. An Ac- ceptable-Grade A rating was given the following brands vvhich are list- ed in order of inereasing cost for a No. 2 can: Ideal Fancy Quality, 13c; Bluebrook, 14c; Bohack’s Best, 15c, Cherry Valley, 15c; Finast, 15c; Grand Union, 15c; My-Te-Fine, 15c; Stop & Shop Grade A Fancy, 15c; Barlow’s Gravenstein, 16c. The prices are the averages paid by CU's shoppers. Raisins Don’t choose raisins for their iron content, Consumer Reports says. Raisins are good as high-energy food, but in the quantities generally eaten, they contain relatively little iron. Ali 44 brands of seeded and seedless raisins tested by the U. S. Dept. of Agriculture for Consumers Union wcre judged Acceptablo. Some Grade A brands were cheaper than some of the lower grades. Seeded raisins generally cost more than seedless, reflecting extra cost of processing. Some brands of seed¬ less raising rated Acceptable-Grade A by CU were: Market Day Special Thompson, 30c (2 lb.); FevveFs Shamrock California, 15c; Freshpak Fancy, 15c; Stop & Shop Superior Quality Thompson, 15c; Red & White Fancy, 17c; Budget Pack Thompson, 29c (24 oz); Co-op. 18c (ali 15 oz. except where noted).’ Some seeded raisin found Accept- able-Grade A were: Stop & Shop Superior Quality Seeded Muscat, 19c; A&P Seeded Muscat. 21c; Des¬ sert Seeded Muscat, 22c; Red & White Fancv Seeded Muscat, 23c; Sun-Maid Puffed Seeded Museats, 23c; Del Monte Seeded Muscat, 25c (ali 15 oz.). Ali prices are the averages paid by CU shoppers. “combat inflation” and to reduce construction in order to “save ma- terials for the defense program.” Down payment ranging from 10 per cent on a $5,000 house up to 50 per cent on a house costing $24,250 or over are required of ordinary people and the time for payment of the balance is a maximum 25 years where the cost is $7,000 or less and 20 years on others. For war veterans the dovvn payments range from five to 45 per cent. No Chance at Ali “The restrictions will eliminate any chance for most, if not ali, fam- ilies iti the low and middle income brackets to purchase new houses,” the A. F. of L. chief declared. “The fact that these are the families who have the most acute need of housing vvill probably mean that the total volume of construction of new houses next year will be consider- ablv below the 800,000 to 850,000 ‘target’ announced ;by the govern¬ ment agencies. “Most houses will be sold to the wealthier families, having the ieast need for housing but able to afford the high down payments required by the regulations.” Green pointed out that rhe down payment for housing costing $8,000 to $10,000 will range from $750 to $1,300 for veterans, and from $1,550 to $2,300 for other people. He em- phasized how few families can serape together that much money. According to the Federal Reserve Board’s own figures, 68 per cent of ali families with an income of $1,000 to $3,000 and 53 per cent of families in the $3,000 to $5,000 bracket have “liauid assets” of $500 or less, Green said. No Lid on Old Houses According to the Wasmngton Post,” an other effect of the regula¬ tions will be to lift stili higher the priče of ,“second-hand” housing, so that even this will not be available to the low and middle income brackets. In other words, speculalors will take advantage of the situation to boost the prices of our houses. Pres- A Sure Loss Of Our M one y The Securities and Exchange Commissian this week issited an order forbidding the Northwest Pet¬ roleum Company, of Portland, Ore., to seli its stock, on the ground that the “registration statement” filed with the S. E. C. by the company is “grossly inaccurate, misleading and incomplete,” and would de- ceive investors. Undoubtedly the promoters back of this oil company will stop sell- ing its stock, because they are in the United States, where Uncle Sam can reach and punish them if they violate the S. E. C. order. In contrast, oil and mine stock promoters in Toronto, Canada, are swindling small American investors on a huge scale, and cannot be reached by Uncle Sam, because Canadian authorities refuse to co- operate with the U. S. government.. The promoters in Canada do not even bother to file “registration statements” with the S. E. C., al- though failure to do so is a viola- tion of American lav/. Sitting safelv in Toronto, they seli their stock by mail to their victims in the United States. It is risky enough to buy oil or mine stock from American promot¬ ers, who can be reached by Uncle Sam. It is a sure loss of your mo- ney to buy stock from crooked pro¬ moters in Toronto.— Labor.

Other millions who might want to vote vvill be simply dis- franchised; this pariicularly in the "Bible Beli” where the Dixicrats and their cousins have long en- frenched Ihemselves by the means of poli tax, plain lerror against the Negroes and/or by other chicanes.

Hence in the Solid South on- ly about 10% to 15% of adult popu- lation generally čast their ballots. The rest of them are either dis- franchised fhrough the poli lax and other means or siay home on the election day for various other rea- sons—plain indifferc-nce or disgust and feeling of helplessness. Because of this siluation the rep- resentation in Congress is very lopsided. In the populous northern congressional districts as a rule many limes more votes are usually čast for the election of a congress- man than in the Solid South. Hence the represenlaiion in our highest legislative body is most unrepre- sentafive and undemocrafic. There are congressmen who have been eleeted by less than 10,000 votes, as, well as congressmen who have re- ceived from ten to fifteen times as many votes. * * * It is guite obvious, then, in order to reinvigorate our political democ- racy and give it some substance.

ON THE CAPITAI/S CDFF By John B. Stone IFs Your Vote, It’s Not Un-American, Use It to Keep It It belongs to you, this fight to vote on Nov. 7, 1950. Histor,y shows. to keep the right you must use it. The biological lav/ of use and disuse applies to polities. So far ali the Martin Dieses, John Rankins, John Woods, Richard M. Nixons and Pat MeCarrans have failed, except in the Deep South, to make it unAmerican to use vour vote. Your vote is as American as the little red schoolhouse. Red blood of patriots vvas spent to win it, sweat and curses and hard fighting secured the right. Not even now is the right won for ali Americans. Negroes tremble in many parts of America to use it. Women were given the right to čast ballots only 31 years ago when the 20th Amendment to the .Constitu¬ tion vvas ratified on June 10, 1919. Men gained the right to vote di- rectly for U.S. Senators. only 37 years ago -through the 19th Amendment ratified Nov. 11, 1913. The Free secret ballot has built America as v/e like to think of Am¬ erica, in the name-calling, knock dovvn political battles of most cher- ished U.S. history. "\Vhen the Hamiltonians had de- mocracy on the run and the Adams administration passed the h a t e d Alien and Sedition laws relatively few Americans could vote. But they voted despitc the aristocratic fet- ters placed on the “mob”. For a vvhile it looked as if the voie vvouldn i count. But knaves fell out and Thomas Jefferson was eleeted President, the Alien and Sedition laws were svvept away, de- mocracy began to thrive. Labor led the fight for universal education, the ballot and the eight hour day. Not always were the ballots čast wisely in the light of history. But the ballots vvere čast and they re- mained a vital part of American life. Fever heightened the marking of ballots as the West awoke and kept Andrevv Jackson in the White House for eight years. The Whigs caught on and a de- luge of ballots was precipitated by “log cabin” Americanism with its cry of “Tippecanoe and Tyler too” to sweep \Villiam Henry Harrison to the Prcsidcncy. It vvas men who fought the good political fight and čast their votes for the man they loved and trusted in the bays of great crisis who bade Abraham Lincoln farevvell in that incident at the railroad station in Springfield, Illinois. There have been great political f igli Is since then, great ieuders, hard vvorkers and men and vvorren vvho vvould rather lose an arm than niiss their chance to vote. Remember the surge of 1932, the wild flood of votes in 1936 that saved America from an- other crisis. But strange things have been hap- pening to the ballot and its use since Civil War days. Laboring people and others have fought for the ballot. Novv they are letting it go by default. In 1844 there vvere onlv a few more than 17 million people in the U.S. but 1,337 thousand voted for Democrat Polk and 1,299 thousand for Whig Clay. Since industrialism began to grow spending $580,000,000. This affects construction of homes, hospitals and rural electrification programs, flood control, land reclamation. Standard & Poor’s told investors that militarv spending “ends the fear, recurrent in recent years, of a business recession or depression ‘somevvhere around the corner’.” S & P predieted, hov/ever, that “this inflation vvill get worse.” Claude A. Putnam, head of the National Assn, of Manufacturers (dominated by Morgan, Rockefeller, Mellon, Du i Pont), vvas 1 reported to have told a closed meeting of the President's Advisory Committee on Mobiliza- tion: “This tension has to break some time. We can’t stand it indefinitelv. A preventive war vvould be one way to end this intolerable sit.ua- tion, Our country, and especially business, can’t stand interminable mobilization.” Otto Sayforth, U. S.

In 1940, 79 million vvere qualified and 49 million voted. In 1944 it vvas 89 million qualified and 47 million vot¬ ing. The 1948 elections vvere open to 94,641,000 voters but only 46,075,000 took the trouble to use their ballots.

As it is, an honest, intelligent Citizen has, in most cases, hardly any choice on the election day; you either vote for Tvveedle- dee or Tvveedledum, for a stark Ropublican reaciionary, or a set of them, or, in most instances, for equaliy odorous Dixicrats or Tam- manite Damocrats vvhose party ma¬ chines in the countrv at large, but especially in big cities, are aligned wilh and ccntrolled by the gambling interests, hoodlums and racketeers. In either čase the end-result is the same: enirenched reaction and stink- ing corrupiion. As in everything there are, of course, exceplions here too. Here and there you find a fried and true Progressive candidate, or an honest public official, in both old parties— as a rule a fevv more among the Democrats than among the Repub- licans. Hovvever, in the last two Ccngresses this group has been very small, about 20 in the Lower House and about half as tnany in the Senate—the vole on the McCarran bili, a true test of progressivism. (We are hapt>y to say that our own Brolher John Blatnik, farmer-labor Congressman from Minnesota Iron Range, has a splendid record, one of the true Progressive stalvvarts, ali too fevv in Congress or in the nation et large.) * * * Perhaps the major reason for the political apathy and illiteracy on the part of our citizenry, and espe- cially among the vvorkers, is the lack of a grovving mililant Progres¬ sive third oarly, sincerely devoted to honesiy in public life as well as to general vvelfare of the people and the nation as such and to the vvorld peace through a complete disarma- ment and the settlement of ali in- iernational d i s p u t e s peacefully, through the United Nations. Kovvever, as long as Organized Labor vvill pursue its present policy of vvorking for the lesser evil—that is vvhal its present policy in reality amounts io—there is bardi-/ any hope that the counlry v/ill be lifled from its current political quagmire of long standing through the launch- ing of a third part-/ of the people, by and for the people and transmit this concept to the government. Voting against the lesser evil— for Lucases against Birksens, for example, or even for Fergusons against Tafts—will bring you no- vvhere; the lesser evil invariably becomes the greater evil once the election is over. This at least is the record of our political life, and especially in recent times since there has been no effective minorily par- ty to challenge the lwo old parties. Consequently a protest vote, v/herever this opporiunity exists, for this or that lefl-wing minority party is infiniiely more effective than voting for lesser evils. Alas in most States there is not even this cpporluniiy to čast a protest vote. One of the reasons is that the tvvo old parties of pelf, power and cor- rupiion have made it extremely dif- ficult and in some important States almost impossible for a third pariy to get on the ballot. This augurs ill for American political democracy. This is our pre-election discourse and take it for vvhatever is worfh. Co-ops Grow Farmers believe in the povver o: organization.

For snappy mušic these fellovvs can’t be beat. Thanks a lot for a good job, girls. You should have been at the Sil- ver City alleys for the Wednesday night bowling sessions. Guess what? The girls had a hard-time party dur- ing their 9'o’clock shift. Ali the girls came in costume and bowled that way. Marion Ermenc with a big' floppy hat and overalls and pipe, plus a couple of teeth blacked out. won first prize. Olga Yerrran came dressed in a complete baseball uni¬ form, Ann Rajšter as Miss SNPJ of 1900, Fannie Kropušek as a South¬ ern mammy, Marge Lonkner as a farmer girl, Julia Verbick as an In- dian squaw. There were many oth¬ ers, of course; your reporter onlv mentioned the highlights. Perhaps we can have the total list of par- ticipants and their eostumes next week. Needless to say most of the girls had more fun than bowling form. The men had a good session with no really outstanding' scores.

So no matter which is your favorite mušic I am sure that you will have an enjoy- able evening. And, of course, there will be plenty of refreshments and food. So do come and be sure to bring your friends along; the more, the merrier, they say. To the mem¬ bers who offered gifts and cakes be sure to get them to the committee in time.

Y. — Poli¬ tični odbor Združenih narodov je na svoji seji zavrgel sovjet¬ ski mirovni načrt, toda ruski zu¬ nanji podminister Jakob Malik ni hotel priznati poraza. Takoj je ppedložil točke mirovnega na¬ črta kot dodatek k resoluciji, ka¬ tero je sestavilo sedem držav. Resolucija obsoja agresijo v vsa¬ ki obliki. Malik je s svojo taktiko razbil sejo političnega odbora. Člani tega odbora se bodo ponovno se¬ stali na seji v sredo. Na tej se bodo diskuzije obnovile. Sovjetska resolucija bi prepo¬ vedala vojno propagando, atom¬ ske bombe in razglasila državo, ki bi se prva poslužila atomske¬ ga orožja, za vojno zločinko. Omogočila bi tudi sklicanje kon¬ ference reprezentantov petih ve¬ lesil in diskuzije o znižanju obo¬ roženih sil za tretjino. Jugoslovanski zunanji minis¬ ter Edvard Kardelj je obdolžil Rusijo neodkritosrčnosti in ob¬ sodil njeno resolucijo. Dejal je, da bi Združeni narodi s spreje¬ tjem resolucije podprli nevarno in škodljivo prakso, nedemokra¬ tične in celo agresivne metode Sovjetske unije. Generalna skupščina Združe¬ nih narodov bo na plenarni seji razpravljala o resoluciji, katero je sestavila ameriška delegacija in podprlo trinajst držav* Ta do¬ loča podaljšanje termina Tryg- vea Ideja, generalnega tajnika Združenih narodov, za nadaljnja tri leta. Njegov sedanji termin bo potekel 2. februarja prihod¬ njega leta. Podporniki resolu¬ cije so izjavili, da bo sprejeta s potrebno dvetretjinsko večino Kritika politike Trumanove- administracije Amerika ne more igrati vloge svetov¬ nega policaja Chicago. — “Vojna v Koreji je demonstrirala, da ameriški vo¬ jaški ustroj, katerega je ustva¬ rila Trumanova administracija z odobritvijo kongresa, ne bo kos nalogi,” je dejal James P. War- burg, mednarodni bankir, v svo¬ jem govoru pred člani sveta za zunanje odnošaje v hotelu Con- gress. V svojem govoru je kritiziral zunanjo politiko Trumanove ad¬ ministracije. Označil jo je za negativno. “Očitno je, da Ame¬ rika ne more igrati vloge sve¬ tovnega policaja,” je rekel. “Po¬ trošila je že petdeset milijard dolarjev za oboroževanje in vo¬ jaško pomoč državam v zapadni Evropi po zaključenju druge svetovne vojne. Ako se bo se¬ danja politika nadaljevala, bo Amerika pognala svobodne drža¬ ve v atomsko vojno, ki bo uniči¬ la civilizacijo.” Warburg je dejal, “da je Ame¬ rika prevzela vojaške obvezno¬ sti, katerih ne bo mogla izpolni¬ ti. Politika Trumanove admini¬ stracije skuša ustvariti situacijo moči, ki pa le pomeni kopanje jarkov, da se zajezi Rusija. Sled¬ nja bo morda zmagala v konflik¬ tu z zapadonj, ne da bi oddala enega strela. Amerika se lahko reši iz zagate, v katero je za¬ bredla na podlagi domneve, da mora biti ona svetovni policaj, z revizijo zunanje politike.” na zasedanju generalne skupšči¬ ne. Ruski zunanji minister An¬ drej Višinski vodi opozicijo pro¬ ti podaljšanju Liejevega termi¬ na. Na sestanku s časnikarji je izjavil, da sovjetska vlada ne bo priznala Lieja in bo nretrgala uradne odnošaje z njim. Podalj sanje Liejevega termina bi bilo kršenje provizij čarterja Zdru¬ ženih narodov, ker je sovjetska delegacija vetirala njegovo po¬ novno imenovanje na seji var¬ nostnega sveta. Jugoslovanski delegat Aleš Bebler je dejal, da ne smatra so¬ vjetske grožnje za resno stvar. Višinski je na sestanku s časni¬ karji naglasil, da hoče informi¬ rati javnost o poskusu odprte kršitve provizij čarterja Združe¬ nih narodov. Citiral je 97. toč¬ ko čarterja, ki pravi, da gene¬ ralna skupščina imenuje gene¬ ralnega tajnika na priporočilo članov varnostnega sveta. Ekonomski in socialni odbor je na svoji seji odobril načrt za pomoč in rekonstrukcijo Koreje. Poljska in Ukrajina sta obdolžili Ameriko, da hoče dobiti vojaške baze v Španiji. Pred političnim odborom je resolucija osmih dr¬ žav, ki določa preklic zaključka proti vzdrževanju reprezentan¬ tov Združenih narodov v Madri¬ du. Ameriška delegacija je pod¬ prla to resolucijo. . Domače vesti Nov grob v Chicagu Chicago. — Včeraj (torek) je umrla Paulina Kocjan, žena To¬ neta Kocjana stara 54 let. Po rodu je bila Holanderka in do¬ bro poznana med slamnikarica- mi v Chicagu. Na mrtvaškem odru leži v Tanclovem pogreb¬ nem zavodu na 3821 W. 26th st., pogreb pa ima v oskrbi Zefra- nov zavod. Pogreb bo v četrtek ob 1:30 popoldne. Zastopnik v bolnišnici Milwaukee. — Louis Barbo- rich, znani zastopnik Prosvete, se nahaja v County General Hospitalu v resnem položaju. (Prosveta mu iskreno želi okre¬ vanja.) Pritožbe proti Ame¬ ričanom v Koreji Vojaške čete terorizirajo begunce Secul, Koreja. — Čough Mee, notranji minister v vladi južne Koreje, se je pritožil proti ame¬ riškim vojaškim častnikom, ker so odredili izgon njegovih poli¬ cajev iz severne Koreje. Izrekel je tudi obdolžitev, da ameriške čete terorizirajo begunce, ki so dospeli iz severne Koreje v juž¬ no Korejo po izbruhu vojne. Be¬ gunci se bi radi vrnili domov, toda ameriške čete jim ne dovo¬ lijo povratka. “Zdi se mi, da bomo zmagali v vojni, toda izgubili bomo mir,” je dejal Mee. “Našo vojaško mi¬ sijo, katero smo poslali v Won- san, so ameriške vojaške oblasti deportirale. Ako bo ameriška vo¬ jaška kontrola v južni Koreji trajala več mesecev, bomo pora¬ ženi pri volitvah.” Predsednik južne Koreje Svn- gman Rhee je dejal, da organi¬ zacija Združenih narodov ovira prizadevanja njegove vlade, ki hoče dobiti kontrolo nad vso de¬ želo. On je govoril na shodu, katerega se je udeležilo več ti¬ soč ljudi. Indija bo ostala nevtralna Vlada Tibeta apelira za pomoč New York. — “Indija ne bo re¬ vidirala svojega stališča in osta¬ la bo nevtralna, čeprav so kitaj¬ ske komunistične invadirale Ti¬ bet,” je izjavila Vijaya L. Pan- dit, indijska poslanka v Wash- ingtonu, v svojem govoru v New i Yorku. “Dogodki v Tibetu niso pri- j jetni, toda mi hočemo izravnati nesoglasja na miren način,” je j nadaljevala. “Moja vlada hoče ! storiti vse v tem oziru. Stabil¬ nosti na svetu ne bo, dokler se ne bo Azija pomirila. Indija se ne bo pridružila nobeni zunanji sili v 'konfliktu, ker je za mir. Sleherna država, ki Se postavi na eno ah drugo stran, povzro¬ ča nove komplikacije in podži¬ ga Ihsterijo.” Poročilo iz New Delhija pra¬ vi, da je Dalai Lama, vladar Ti¬ beta, apeliral na Indijo za diplo- matično pomoč. Druga vest pra¬ vi, da kitajske komunistične če¬ te prodirajo proti glavnpmu me¬ stu Tibeta. Možnost je, da bo Dalai Lama pobegnil iz dežele. Kitajske čete v severni Koreji? Zavezniške sile vržene nazaj Seoul, Koreja. — Kitajske ko¬ munistične čete so priskočile na pomoč severnokorejski armadi in vrgle nazaj zavezniške čete, pravi poročilo. Neki ujeti sever¬ nokorejski častnik je dejal, da sta dve kitajski komunistični di¬ viziji v akciji v severni Koreji. Šesta južnokorejska divizija, ki se je približala mandžurski meji, je bila poražena v bitki. Umakniti se je morala 30 milj pod pritiskom sovražnika. Severnokorejske čete prodira¬ jo proti Hamgungu, industrijske¬ mu mestu. Ameriški in južnoko- rejski častniki so priznali, da je sovražnik reokupiral Huičon, 20 milj severnovzhodno od Onjon- ga- Poveljstvo desetega ameriške¬ ga vojaškega zbora poroča, da je kitajski komunistični regiment v akciji v severnovzhodnem ko¬ tu Koreje. Ameriške oklopne kolone prodirajo v smeri Onjon- ga. Ameriška bojna letala pod¬ pirajo prodiranje. Enote 24. ameriške pehotne divizije so okupirale Kusong, mesto v severnozapadnem delu Koreje. To je oddaljeno 34 milj od reke Yalu, ki tvori mejo med severno Korejo in Mandžurijo. Besednik poveljstva ameriške oborožene sile je priznal resnost situacije. Razplet vojne v sever¬ ni Koreji je razblinil upanje ameriških vojaških krogov, da bodo oborožene sile severne Ko¬ reje poražene pred kongresnimi volitvami 7. novembra. Ameri¬ ški vojaki so pričakovali, da se bodo lahko vrnili domov pred božičem. Sedaj ni izgleda, da ho vojna v Koreji kmalu končana. Kanadska vlada omejila kredite Ottawa, Kanada. — Kanadska I vlada je sledila Ameriki z uve¬ ljavljenjem odredbe, ki omejuje kredite.

Doslej ni bilo v Ka¬ nadi kontrole kreditov. Nova od¬ redba je takoj stopila v veljavo. IZBRUH NACIONA¬ LISTIČNE REVOLTE NA PORTORIKU Rebeli naskočili palačo governerja Marina San Juan, Portoriko. — Vlada je mobilizirala 3,500 vojakov za potlačitev nacionalistične revol¬ te, največje v zgodovini tega otoka, ki je ameriško ozemlje. Policija trdi, da je bilo 23 oseb ubitih in 13 ranjenih v bitkah. Vodja rebelev je Pedro A. Campos, absolvent univerze Har- vard. On je tudi vodja naciona¬ listične stranke, ki zahteva od¬ cepitev Portorika od Amerike ih neodvisnost. Vojaške čete, oborožene s strojnicami in drugim orožjem, Se pripravljajo za naskok na me¬ sto Jayuya, ki je pod kontrolo rebelev. To je oddaljeno 50 mil] od San Juana, glavnega mesta. Dve kompaniji vojakov sta na poti v Jayuyo. Poročilo pravi, da so požari, katere so zanetili rebeli, skoro uničili mesto. Rebeli so naskočili palačo go¬ vernerja Luisa Marina v San Juanu. Revolta je zajela druga mesta. Izvršeni so bili napadi na policijske postaje. Rebeli so raz¬ dejali šest policijski postaj v Jayuyi, središču revolte. Nacionalisti zahtevajo popol¬ no neodvisnost Portorika od Amerike. Vest pravi, da je po¬ licija obkolila poslopje, v kate¬ rem je vodja revolte Campos. Pričakuje se, da bo ujet in are¬ tiran. Med onimi, ki so bili ubiti v revolti, je bilo trinajst polica¬ jev. Nacionalisti so proti seda¬ nji administraciji governerja Marina, ki je protj odcepitvi oto¬ ka od Amerike. Izbruh revolte bo morda preprečil volitve 4. no¬ vembra o novi ustavi, proti ka¬ teri nacionalisti vodijo opozi¬ cijo. Governer Marin je v Svojem govoru po radiu izjavil, da je revolta zarota proti demokraciji. V ozadju revolte so komunisti. Marin je napovedal, da bo revol¬ ta kmalu zatrta. Senator napovedal zvišanje davkov Washington (FP) — Senator Walter F. George, demokrat iz Georgije in načelnik finančnega odseka, je posvaril javnost, naj se pripravi na večje davke. Na¬ povedal je, da bo kongres na svojem zasedanju sprejel zakon za davke na odvisne profite, po¬ leg tega pa bo tudi zvišal splo¬ šne davke. “Če se to ne zgodi letos, se bo prav gotovo zgodilo v januarju,” je rekel George..

New Ycrk. — Objava odloka jugoslovanske vlade o odpravi posebnih privilegijev v hrani in drugih potrebščinah s prvim no¬ vembrom letos, dramatizira eko¬ nomsko stisko dežele in pred- oča še večjo potrebo pošiljanja “ČARE” paketov iz Amerike. Kot posledica suše, je imela Jugoslavija letos eno naj slabših letin v svoji zgodovini.

Obsodba volivne kampanje v Ameriki Ruski list omenja zvezo med politiki in gangeži Moskva. — Ruski listi pišejo, da je volivna kampanja v Ame¬ riki divja orgija, ki se očituje v podkupovanju, sleparijah in na¬ siljih. Zmagovalec v tej kampa¬ nji bo Wall Street. Izvestja, glasilo sovjetske vla¬ de, omenja volivne kampanje v Illinoisu, New Yorku, Floridi. Južni Karolini in Louisiani kot tipični zgled. V Illinoisu so se demokratski in republikanski politiki zvezali z gangeži, toda največji škandal še je pripetil v New Yorku, kjer je governer Dewey razkrinkal zvezo med de¬ mokrati in igralnim sindikatom. Zaradi tega škandala je župan 0’Dwyer odstopil in potem do bil pozicijo poslanika v Mehiki. Demokrati v New Yorku so pa razkrili Dewey-Hanleyev škan¬ dal. “V Južni Karolini,” pravijo Izvestja, “je zmagal James Byr- nes kot kandidat za governerja. On je bivši državni tajnik, tesno povezan z lastniki bombažnih plantaž in tobačnim monopolom. V Louisiani je zmagal kot kan¬ didat za zveznega senatorja Rus- sell Long, vreden naslednik svo¬ jega očeta, ki je posnemal Hi¬ tlerjeve metode. V Georgiji je zmagal Eugene Talmadge, znan sovražnik zamorcev.” Električarji dobili visoke penzije Povezane so s socialno zaščito New York (P) — Več kot 8,- 000 članov lokalne unije št. 3 Bratovščine elektriških delavcev ADF bo deležnih po $150 meseč¬ no iz penzijskega sklada, ki ga bo vzdrževala družba sama. Pen¬ zije So povezane s socialno za¬ ščito. Voditelji unije so pozdravili novo pogodbo kot najboljšo v kateri koli industriji, kjer delo¬ dajalci sami vzdržujejo penzij- ske sisteme za delavce. Prejšnja pogodba je jamčila $120 meseč¬ ne penzije. Poleg penzije, ki bo sedaj v veljavi, družba vzdržuje tudi blaginjski sistem, ki vključuje bolniško oskrbo za unijske čla¬ ne in njihove družine, odškod¬ nino v slučaju pohabljenosti, o- peracijske stroške in prosto zo- bozdravniško oskrbo. Nova pogodba dalje določa, da družba letno podeli število šol¬ nin ali štipendij otrokom unij¬ skih članov na univerzah Co¬ lumbia in Cornell. To je najbolj širokopotezna pogodba med de¬ lavci in delodajalci. Pripravljajo zakon za prisluškovanje Washington (FP) — Justični department bo kongresu predlo¬ žil zakonski osnutek, ki mu bo dovolil prisluškovanje privatnih telefonskih pogovorov.

Jugoslovansko sodišče obsodilo zarotnike Belgrad. — Distriktno sodišče je obsodilo 13 oseb, ki so bile spoznane za krive zarote, katere namen je bil strmoglavljenje vlade premierja Tita. Obsojene so bile na pet do 15 let zapora. Med obsojenci je Vilibald Toma¬ šič, bivši major jugoslovanske armade pod monarhijo. On je dobil 15 let zapora. ZASTOJNAKONFE- RENCI OBRAMB¬ NIH MINISTROV Problem uključenja nemških vojakov v evropsko armado Washingion. D. C. — Kavsanje o oboroževanju zapadne Nemči¬ je je povzročilo zastoj na konfe¬ renci obrambnih ministrov dva¬ najstih držav, ki so podpisale atlantski pakt. Konferenca je bila pretrgana v pondeljek zve¬ čer in potem objavljeno nazna¬ nilo, da se bodo ministri ponov¬ no sestali in nadaljevali disku¬ zije. Obrambni ministri se niso mo¬ gli zediniti o uključenju nem¬ ških vojakov v skupno armado za obrambo zapadne Evrope pred možnim ruskim sunkom. Zastoj je povzročil nesporaz¬ um med Ameriko in Francijo. Francoski obrambni minister Jules Moch se je moral držati izida glasovanja v parlamentu o načrtu, ki ne dovoljuje kompro¬ misa o oboroževanju Nemčije. Ta predvideva le uključenje ne¬ znatnega števila nemških voja¬ kov v skupno armado in to šele po dosegi sporazuma o ustano¬ vitvi politične zveze med drža¬ vami zapadne Evrope. Nobenega izgleda ni, da se bo¬ do obrambni ministri sporazu¬ meli o formuli uključenja nem¬ ških vojakov v .skupno armado zapadnih držav. To vprašanje bo najbrže odloženo. Obrambni ministri so se na konferenci sporazumeli o ime¬ novanju vrhovnega poveljnika skupne oborožene sile. Izrekli so se za imenovanje generala Dwighta D. Eisenhowerja za vrhovnega poveljnika. On je ■ predsednik univerze Columbia v New Yorku. Moch je omenil opozicijo fran¬ coskih komunistov in socialistov proti uključenju nemških voja¬ kov v skupno armado. V Fran¬ ciji še vedno prevladuje bojazen pred dvigom Nemčije kot voja¬ ške sile. Svet zunanjih ministrov držav v okviru atlantskega pakta je v septembru priporočal odboru, katerega tvorijo obrambni mini¬ stri, naj sestavi načrt, ki bi omo¬ gočil uključenje nemških voja¬ kov v skupno armado. Ti so se sporazumeli le o načrtu, koliko vojaških divizij naj bi prispe¬ vala vsaka država v okviru at¬ lantskega pakta k skupni ar¬ madi. Obrambni ministri so zaradi zastoja na konferenci odložili obisk ameriške letalske baze v Daytonu, O., in vojaškega vež- bališča v Aberdeenu, Md. Britska kolonija bo dobila samovlado Poljska osvojila zlato valuto Vrednost denarne enote se zvišala Varšava, Poljska. — Parla¬ ment je soglasno sprejel nov za¬ kon, s katerim je postavil de- narstvo na zlati standard.

Stara enota ni imela nobene vrednosti v kapitalističnih dr¬ žavah. Dabrowski je pojasnil, da bo nova denarna enota odpravila staro enoto. Banke so dobile ob¬ last do izmenjave.

Volicem se bo predložilo mno¬ go glasovnic za izdajo raznih bondov in za nove davčne na¬ klade. Mestna zbornica, okraj¬ ni komisarji in šolski odbor bo¬ do predložili na glasovanje ka¬ kih 20 takih predlogov. Hišni posestniki, ki se pogosto pritožu¬ jejo, da so že danes davki pre¬ visoki, bodo imeli priliko, da s svojimi glasovi odločijo, ali naj se ti davki še povišajo. Dolžnost državljanov je, da dobro premislijo, predno glasu¬ jejo. Nekaj teh predlogov je koristnih, nekaj pa tudi ne. Med temi je tudi predlog, da se izda za štiri milijone bondov za zgradnjo novega “Airport Sta- tiona”. Železnice si zgradijo svo¬ je lastne železniške postaje in jaz ne vem, zakaj bi se stroški za gradnjo aeroplanskih postaj naložili na rame davkoplačeval¬ cev. Clevelandski davkoplače¬ valci že nad 25 let plačujemo obresti od bondov, ki so bili iz¬ dani za gradnjo mestnega avdi¬ torija. Koristi od te velike dvorane in od konvencij, ki se tam vršijo, imajo pa samo veliki hoteli in trgovine v sredini me¬ sta. Kapitalisti investirajo svoj denar tam, kjer je profit, a dav¬ koplačevalci naj podpirajo po¬ slopja, ki delajo izgube. .

Vse kaže, da Lauschetov urad ni v nevarnosti. Najbolj važna bitka pa je menda za urad zveznega sena¬ torja. Za ta urad se pogajata sedanji senator “Bob” Taft in Joe Ferguson. Oba imata za kampanjo na razpolago ogrom¬ ne tisočake. Organizirano delav¬ stvo podpira Fergusona, a ne za¬ to, ker je bolj zmožen, ampak za¬ to, ker je Taft obsovražen zara¬ di tiste postave, ki nosi njegovo ime. Kaže, da ima Ferguson precej prilike, da izpodrine Tafta. Citatelji Prosvete, slovenski državljani v Clevelandu! Jaz vem, da je med vami glede po¬ litičnega udejstvovanja mnogo cinizma.

ZAPISNIK FEDERACIJSKE SEJE DRUŠTEV SNPJ V ZAPADNI PENNSYLVANIJI Braddock, Pa. — Federacijska seja se je vršila v nedeljo, 22. oktobra, v Slovenskem domu v Libraryju. Predsednik br. Anton Čipčič odpre sejo ob 10.30 dopoldne. Od odbora sta odsotna nadzornika br. Louis Karish in Vinc Arch. Zastopana so sledeča društva: 6, 33, 52, 88, 89, 138, 141, 166, 210, 231, 240, 295, 300, 386, 400 , 419, 426 in 427, skupaj 18 društev s 33 zastopniki in odborniki. Za¬ pisnik prejšnje seje je sprejet kot čitan. Dopisi: Brat tajnik prečita va¬ bilo odbora za Ameriško-sloven- ski dan in za radio-program na letni seji, katera se bo vršila v nedeljo, 29. oktobra, v Sloven¬ skem domu v Pittsburghu, Pa. Se vzame na znanje. Poročilo odbora: Ves upravni odbor federacije nima nič kaj posebnega poročati, ker ni bilo nobenega izrednega dela med sejami. Brat tajnik Ambrožič poda finančno poročilo za zadnje tri mesece. Premoženje federa¬ cije znaša $2,147.30. Blagajnik in nadzorniki se strinjajo, nakar se poročilo sprejme. Brat Anton Rožanec, predsed¬ nik nadzornega odseka, poroča, da je predložena prošnja brata Josepha Kreka, živečega v Bridgevillu, ki je član društva 166, Presto, Pa. Ker pa ni ta prošnja predložena na uradni listini in tudi ni podpisana od društva, se je ne more upošte¬ vati. Priporoča se, da omenjeni sobrat predloži prošnjo pravilno izpolnjeno od društva in naj jo predloži na prihodnji seji. Odo¬ bri pa se priporočilo, da federa¬ cija kupi za $600 zveznih bon- dov. Poročila zastopnikov. Druš¬ tvo 88 (Moon Run): Pridobili 3 nove člane od zadnje seje. Druš¬ tvo 138 (Strabane): Umrla sta brata Frank Žele in Frank Ster¬ le; dobili so 8 novih članov; društvo šteje v obeh oddelkih 736 članov; proslava 40-letnice je bila uspešna in se zahvaljuje¬ jo vsem za poset. Društvo 89 (Midway): Umrl brat John Pi vovaf; Veselica bo'11. novembra. Pri društvu 33, Ambridge, Pa., je umrl član br. Tom Budalec. Društvo 300 (Braddock): Prire¬ dili bodo veselico 11. novembra in vabijo na poset. Društvo 419 (Harwick): Istotako hodo prire¬ dili veselico 11. novembra; isti večer bo tudi rekordiranje slo¬ venskega programa, kateri bo potem oddajan v nedeljo, 12. no¬ vembra s postaje WLOA ob 12 uri. Vabijo na veliko udeležbo. Društvo 427 (Coverdale): Pri¬ dobili 3 nove člane. Ostala dru¬ štva nimajo ničesar posebnega poročati, nakar brat predsednik pozove navzoče člane, da vsta nejo v zadnji pozdrav za pokoj¬ nimi. Ker bo prihodnja seja letna, se bo v smislu pravil vršila v Slovenskem domu v Pittsbur¬ ghu, Pa., v nedeljo, 28. januarja 1951 ob 10. uri dopoldne. Razno: Razpravlja se o seji Ameriško-slovenskega dneva in o radio-programu. Seja se bo vršila v nedeljo, 29. oktobra v Slovenskem domu v Pittsbur¬ ghu, Pa. Za zastopnike so bili izvoljeni bratje Anton Čipčič, John Koklič, Anton Rožanec in Jakob Ambrožič. Plača se jim vožnja v smislu pravil po 5c na miljo. Razpravljalo se je tudi o slo¬ venskem radioprogramu in po daljšem razmotrivanju se pripo¬ roča zastopnikom, da program ostane vnaprej nepolitični, zago¬ varja pa naj napredne ideje, kot jih na primer unije itd. Brat blagajnik John Kvartič priporoča, da bi se dalo $50 v pomoč radioprogramu. Sklene pa se, da se to prepusti do letne seje in bi bilo bolj pravilno, da bi federacija plačala ob priliki za enourni program. S tem brat predsednik zaključi dopoldansko sejo. Popoldanska seja se prične ob 1. uri popoldne. Angleško poslu¬ jočo federacijo zastopata brata Frank Opeka in Andy Pogan. Brat Opeka poroča v imenu fe¬ deracije in se najprvo zahvali za skupno sodelovanje. Poroča tu¬ di, da so na zadnji seji sklenili, da bodo zopet enkrat prihodnjo spomlad priredili obe federaci¬ ji skupni koncei-t ali igro ali karkoli podobnega. Dalje pove, da je njih federacija sprejela re¬ solucijo na zadnji seji, v nedeljo, 15. oktobra, ki se tiče angleške strani sredine izdaje Prosvete. Oni se ne strinjajo s članki na tej strani in so iz tega razloga sprejeli to resolucijo, v kateri zahtevajo, da bi se tista stran nadomestila z objavami društev in tako dalje. Žele, da bi tudi naša federacija podprla njih re¬ solucijo. Prišlo je do precej obširne raz¬ prave o tej resoluciji in večina zastopnikov je bila iznenadena o tem zaključku angleško poslu¬ joče federacije. Niso mogli raz¬ umeti, kaj so delali odborniki angleške federacije, posebno pa še naši mladi' glavni odborniki SNPJ, ki so bili izvoljeni na zadnji konvenciji v Detroitu, Mich. Saj je vsem zrlano, da je bila resolucija o smernicah Pro¬ svete odobrena z veliko večino. Od tedaj je poteklo komaj dva meseca. Obenem se ugotovi, da v smislu pravil so naše fede¬ racije predvsem za agitacijo, konvencija naše jednote pa je naj višja zakonodaja. Iz tega raz¬ loga je bil soglasno sprejet pred¬ log, da naša federacija ne Odo¬ brava zaključka angleško poslu¬ joče federacije. Za zastopnike na sejo angle¬ ško poslujoče federacije, katera se bo vršila v nedeljo, 21. jan. 1951, sta bila izvoljena br. An¬ ton Rožanec in Anton Rednak. Sprejme se priporočilo o skup¬ nem koncertu ali kar koli bo, da federaciji sodelujeta skupno. Sprejme se tudi predlog, da se bo vršil prihodnje leto dan SN¬ PJ za zapadno Pennsylvanijo skupno z angleško poslujočo fe¬ deracijo. Sklene se tudi, da je dolžnost tajnika br. Jakoba Am¬ brožiča, da skliče sejo odbora obeh federacij najkasneje do 10. decembra. S tem je bilo delo federacije končano, nakar se brat predsed¬ nik zahvali gospodinjskemu od¬ seku v Libraryju za izvrstno ko¬ silo. Zahvali se vsem navzočim za posluh in vabi na obilno ude¬ ležbo 28. jan. v Pittsburghu, Pa. Zaključek seje ob 3.15 popoldne. Anion Rednak, zapisnikar ZAPISNIK WESTMORELAND- SKE FEDERACIJE Lairobe, Pa, —Seja westmore- landske federacije se je vršila dne 22. oktobra v Carbon Hillsu pri Greensburgu. Predsednik John Fradel odpre sejp ob 2. uri popoldne. Zapis¬ nik prejšnje seje čitan in spre¬ jet. Nadzorni odsek poroča, da je pregledal račune pred sejo in našel vse v redu. Tajnik Victor Bohince poda svoje poročilo, kakor tudi nova blagajničarka Jennie Lavrich. Vsa poročila se ujemajo in so sprejeta. Ker se ta seja vrši pr¬ vič v novi dvorani, ki je last društva št. 223 SNPJ”, br. Louis Gorence kot najstarejši in zaeno ustanovni član pozdravi v lepili besedah navzoče zborovalce v imenu društva 223 SNPJ in no¬ vega doma. * Br. Gorenc pove, da je druš¬ tvo kljub težavam in raznim oviram končno uspelo in si po¬ stavilo nov hram, na katerega so zdaj vsi zelo ponosni. Za¬ stopniki in odborniki prisrčno ploskajo besedam še vedno čile ga br. Gorenca, ki je že v letih, toda mlad po mišljenju. Nato se predsednik društva br. Matt Maurovich v zbranih besedah zahvali federaciji za $100, ki jih je podarila njihovemu novemu domu. Tajnica društva 223 Mary Russ prečita tudi pismeno za¬ hvalo. Zbornica vzame zahvalo z odobravanjem na znanje. Prečitano je pismo tajnika in oznanjevalca slovenskega radio- programa Antona Rednaka, ka¬ kor tudi vabilo na letno sejo or- 1 ganizacije Ameriško-slovenskega dneva in radio-kluba. Dalje je čitana zahvala Katarine Ozanich iz Fredericktowna za poslanih $5 za njuno 10-letno hčerko, katera je nastopila kot plesalka na zad¬ nji federacijski priredbi. Dalje je bil poslan ček v znasku $29 ženi pokojnega blagajnika Ale¬ ksandra Škerlja, ki mu jih je dolgovala federacija. Na federacijski seji je zastopa- nich 17 društev z 32 zastopniki. Društvo št. 23 (Darragh) nima posebnega poročila, istotako ne št. 41, 63 in 64. Za društvo 87 (Herminie) poročajo, da je umr¬ la Frances Levela.

Društvo 758 (Ex- port) bo imelo ples na Zahval¬ ni dan in vabi na poset. Ostala društva nimajo posebnih poro¬ čil. Predsednik pozove zborovalce, da' vstanejo in oddajo zadnji po¬ zdrav v znak sožalja za pokoj¬ niki. Sprejet je predlog, da federa¬ cija pošlje dva zastopnika na sejo slovenskega radio-kluba, katera se bo vršila 29. oktobra v Pittsburghu. Sprejmeta br. John Fradel in sestra Theresa Matko- Arch. Sledi razprava o suši v Jugoslaviji in sklenjeno je, da federacija po možnosti pomaga, ker pa je še več nejasnosti, je sklenjeno, da se natančneje po¬ izve o zadevi. Sestra Anna Kaferle iž Yuko- na, ki se je prejšnji dan vrnila iz stare domovine, tudi priporo¬ ča pomoč bratom in sestram v stari domovini, ker so pomoči zelo potrebni in da je najboljše, IZ naselbin GLASBENA MATICA VPRIZORI "LA TRAVIATO" Cleveland, O. —V nedeljo, 5. novembra, bo pevski zbor Glas¬ bena matica vprizoril krasno opero “La Traviata”. ,Prireditev bo v Slovenskem narodnem do¬ mu na St. Clair ave. “La Traviata” je eno izmed Verdijevih najlepših del. Melo¬ dije te opere človeka kar ožive. Pevci Glasbene matice se z ve¬ likim navdušenjem pripravljajo za ta dan, ki bo nekak glasbeni praznik, katerega praznujemo že 20 let. V teku te dobe je zbor podal na odru SNPJ lepo števi¬ lo krasnih oper, operet in kon¬ certov. Opera “La Traviata” ima zelo lepe melodije, res nekaj čarob¬ nega. Zvezda je Violeta. Vaje potekajo v naj lepšem redu pod vodstvom mr. Šublja. On je ope¬ ro prestavil v slovenščino. Tudi režija je v njegovih rokah. To vam jamči, da bo opera dobro podana, saj ima on velike skuš¬ nje, katerih mi ni treba opiso¬ vati. da bi vsak poslal pakete po po¬ šti svojim ljudem. Federacijska blagajna znaša $2,817.26.—Prihodnja seja se bo vršila v Pleasant Valleyju četr¬ to nedeljo v januarju.—Na tem mestu naj bo izrečena najtoplej¬ ša zahvala društvu št. 223 od¬ nosno ženskemu klubu, kateri je zastopnikom postregel s pravo slovansko gostoljubnostjo. Theresa Mafko-Arch, poročevalka Glavni vlogi bosta pela v Ame¬ riki rojen Slovenec in Slovenka, in sicer Violeto Josephine Pe¬ trovčič, katera poseduje melodi¬ čen sopran, Alfreda pa Edward Kenik, ki je izboren tenorist, Vsa čast jima, ker se toliko tru¬ dita za slovensko kulturo! Pevci Glasbene matice so že mnogo doprinesli k uspehu pri¬ redb raznih naših kulturnih in društvenih priredb, prav tako za dobrodelne namene. Sodelo¬ vali so na mnogih priredbah kot posamezniki ali pa ves zbor, za¬ to pričakujemo, da bo naša slo¬ venska javnost to upoštevala in napolnila avditorij Slovenskega narodnega doma do zadnjega kotička. Naj se vrnem k oper; “La Tra¬ viata”. Josephine Petrovčič je kot ustvarjena za to vlogo. Ne odlikuje se samo v glasu, am¬ pak tudi v interpretaciji in mi¬ miki. Edward Kenik nastopa v vlogi Alfreda kot njen ljubimec. Frank Bradač je Alfredov oče, Vencelj Frank nastopi v vlogi barona, Anton Smith v vlogi zdravnika itd. Nekaj izrednega bo balet, ki ga bo spremljal orkester 16 god¬ benikov. Oder bo krasno oprem¬ ljen, lepi kostumi itd. Vabimo naše občinstvo od bli¬ zu in daleč, da gotovo pridejo na opero v nedeljo, 5. novembra, v Slovenskem narodnem domu, začetek ob 3.30 popoldne. Po predstavi se bo razvila v prizid¬ ku prosta zabava. Ko bodo pevci povečerjali, se bo pa petje nada¬ ljevalo. Na gotovo svidenje!

Od časa do časa komentira in poroča Milan Medvešek Chicago. — Kongresne volitve so skoraj tu. Kampanja je vro¬ ča in če eitaš kampanjske govo¬ re tega ali onega političnega aspiranta, se nehote vprašaš, ka¬ teri je večji lump. V politiki je menda vse dovoljeno, po voli¬ tvah si pa stresajo roke. To ob¬ metavanje z najgršim blatom je v mnogih primerih pretirano, kakor je na primer pretirana trditev, da je državni tajnik Acheson “zaščitnik” komunistov v vladnih službah, vendar pa je resnica, da so mnogi posamezni politiki In čestokrat politične mašine v celoti povezane s ko¬ rupcijo, nižinskimi elementi, ra- ketirji, zlasti v velikih' mestih kot so Nevv York, Chicago, Los Angeles, Philadelphia itd. , Čudno je, da se spričo teh fak¬ tov, ki jih politiki sami razga¬ ljajo pred vsakimi volitvami, ne zbudi med poštenimi državljani upor proti obema strankama, proti strankama “osla” in “slo¬ na”, kateri sta v vrhuncu pod delavskega sloja zgodila v krat¬ kem času, a prišla bo prav go¬ tovo in tedaj bomo šli na voli¬ šče z večjim navdušenjem kot sedaj, ko .nimaš zlasti v velikih bil že od nekdaj zelo energičen in priden kot čebela, zato se ne bo tudi sedaj kar tako podal. On je bil tudi delegat na'zadnji kon¬ venciji SNPJ in je potrpežljivo sledil poteku zborovanj, dasi- ravno ga je že tedaj mučila bo¬ lezen. Čez teden dni po konven¬ ciji pa je pridno delal na narod¬ nem dnevu SNPJ, prešteval de- mestih kaj izbirati in se bojiš, da nar nabiral oglase in se izredno • + -i-i i i .-j i I v-. trcnn Irnrvmh iv« rvo i l h ne boš pravilno glasoval, če od daš glas temu ali onemu kandi datu. Vendar pa je potrebno iti na volišče in glasovati za tiste kandidate in predloge, ki se nam vidijo najboljši. Tu naj še pri¬ stavim, da delavsko zavedni Slo¬ venci v Minnesoti ne bodo čuti¬ li, da bodo vrgli stran svoje gla¬ sove, ko bodo volili za kongres¬ nika Johna Blatnika, ki je doka¬ zal, da v resnici čuti za malega človeka in ga ni vrgla s tira ta divja gonja proti vsemu, kar je naprednega. Na Johna so danes ponosni vsi napredni Slovenci po vsej Ameriki in ne samo v Minnesoti. O čikaških društvenih aktiv¬ nostih nekoliko besed. Pretek¬ lo soboto smo imeli sejo Čikaške federacije društev SNPJ. Fede- zelo dobro obiskane, zadnji dve pa ne tako dobro. Ne vem, za¬ kaj ne. Na dnevnem redu smo imeli problem, ki je nastal radi odpovedi dvoran SNPJ za druš¬ tvene veselice in seje, dalje vprašanje nakupa izletniške far¬ me in druge, zadeve. Na zadnjih dveh sejah smo pogrešali blagajnika Viktorja Zupančiča. Toda stari Viktor ni zaostal radi brezbrižnosti, am¬ pak. zato, ker je hudo bolan. Pred nekaj tedni se je namreč podvrgel težki operaciji, katera ga je močno zdelala. Viktor se absolutno kontrolo bogatih slo ! racijske seje so bile do zadnjega jev, in ustanove stranko malega' človdka, ljudsko stranko! Po vseh neuspehih, ki so jih doživeli napredni in delavsko zavedni državljani s tretjimi strankami v preteklosti, zlasti še s progresivno stranko, je na¬ ravnost mučno govoriti o tretji stranki oziroma o šamostojni de¬ lavski stranki. Mnogi so danes mnenja, da v Ameriki sploh ni upanja, da bi se razvila močna delavska stranka in v podporo svojih izvajanj ti kažejo na re¬ zultate tretjih strank v pretek¬ losti, kakor tudi na politično ne¬ dozorelost ameriškega delavstva in njegovih voditeljev ter na ameriško tradicijo političnega sistema, kateri baje ne more pre¬ nesti več kot dve stranki. Slika je črna, vendar pa ni ta¬ ko črna, kot se vidi na prvi po¬ gled. Danes je delavstvo orga¬ nizirano v močnih unijah in pri¬ šel bo čas, ko se bo pričela v njih vrstah buditi razredna po¬ litična zavest, ko bo ta ogromna: masa prišla do zaključka, da morejo zastopati v zakonodajah ih kongresu delavske interese le ljudje, ki izhajajo iz delavskih vrst. Najbrže se ne bo taka po¬ litična preobrazba ameriškega trudil na vseh koncih in krajih. Viktor, vsi ti želimo, da čimprej okrevaš! Srčna hiba in rak ubijata naj¬ več ljudi. Prej ali slej bo zna¬ nost dohitela tudi ta dva uniče¬ valci človeških življenj in ju za¬ dušila. Prav te dni je časopisje poročalo, da je izvršil dr. Beck iz Clevelanda čudovite operaci¬ je, s katerimi je omogočil večji dotok krvi v srce in nekaj bol¬ nikov ozdravil. Ko je dr. Beck razlagal o teh operacijah zdrav¬ nikom na univerzi Northwestern in zaeno kazal filmske slike, so zdravniki vzklikali: “Čudovito! Presenetljivo!” Zdravniki si obetajo velike uspehe s takimi operacijami. Naj še omenim, da je prav ta zdravnik, ki je profe¬ sor na univerzi Western Reserve v Clevelandu, leta 1928 zdravil mojega očeta, ko se je v avto¬ mobilski nesreči močno poško¬ doval in si prebil tudi lobanjo. Očetu je tega zdravnika preskr¬ bel slovenski zdravnik dr. Kern. Prešernov koncert je zopet dobro uspel. Vršil se je pretek¬ lo nedeljo v Falcon-dvorani na Ashland ave. Poleg koncertnih točk je bila tudi vprizorjena kratka komedija “Zaklad”. V solospevu sta nastopila Angeli¬ ne Plut in Thomas Cukale. Mla¬ da Elaine Mesec pa je podala nekaj plesnih točk. Program je vodil predsednik zbora Edward con-dvorana v drugi soseščini, je bila udeležba velika. Krožek št, 2B SNPJ bo praz¬ noval svojo 10-letnico obstoja v nedeljo, 26. novembra, v dvora¬ ni SNPJ.

Everyone dressed either as a comedian or otherwise. Judges had a hard time seleeting the winners. And to those who dic ; n’t win, ^ou ali looked perfect. We had many games, such as feed- ing popcorn to one another with a spoon blindfolded. Balloons were blown up vvith a piece of candy in it; they were put in a sheet and hung up on the ceiling. If you had one with a piece of candy in it you won a prize. And paper purrpkins hidden ali over the hali, and many more games. Some of the parents came in costumes, but it was niče to see so many attend. Refresh- ments were served, mušic was fur- nished by Dick Bencin for an en- joyable evening. It is such a friend- ly feeling belonging to our Circle, and working side by s.ide vvith our friends and directors. It makes real team work. KATHY ZORMAN Circle 76.

A number of movies of important SNPJ activties, held during the spring and summer months this .year, have recently been completed and are novv available for shovving to lodges, Juveniie Circles and federa- tions. These new 1950 SNPJ movies, together with those taken in pre- vious years, are sixteen millimeter silent films taken almost entirely in natural color, and can be obtained on vvritten request to the Main Office at no cost except the return postage. 14th Regular SNPJ Convention Cne cf Ihe new films is a thirty minute movie of the 14th Regular Convenlion of the SNPJ vvhich vvas held at Detroit, Michigan, last August. In these pictures vou vvill have opportunity of seeing the convention in session in the spaeious auditorium of the nevv §200,000 Slovene National Home, the convention officeis at their places on the stage, the Supreme Board members as th-ey sat facing the delegates, and then one by one the various committees at vvork. You vvill see many delegates, coming and going, as they enter or leave the convention hali, as vvell as a papo- ramic vievv of the 281 delegates and 32 supreme officers gathered in front of the SNH for the official convention photograph. There are a number of excellent scenes of the cooks and their helpers preparing the ; ’b the kbrbens, of the vvaitres.ses vvho served the food and cleared the tables, and many more at the clubroom bar vvhere there vvas never a dull moment. There are also some very good shots of the banquet and the program, particularlv the entertaintrient presented by the tvvo De¬ troit Circles, ali of vvhich should serve to bring back many pleasant memo- ries especially to the delegates and the visitors vvho vvere at the con¬ vention. 1950 National SNPJ Day The lalest addilion to our film library is another thirty minute movie, this one of the 12th National SNPJ Day events held in Chicago, Illinois, last Labor Day vveekend. This film offers a fairly good revievv of the main activities vvhich took plače at this annual celebration. The opening scenes vvere filmed at the Arrovvhead Country Club vvhere the 5th Na¬ tional Golf Tournament vvas staged. There are several colorful shots of the golfers and the grounds behind the club house, the committee check- ing in the contesfants, and a fevv action pictures of the golfers teeing off and putting on the greens. Leaving the golf course, the action shifts quickly to the ballfield vvhere the National Softball Play-offs were in progress anc’ from there to the Slovene Center Social Club allevs vvhere j the National Balina Tournament games vvere played. At both places you vvill see players in action and the speetators enjoying the competition and the fun from the sidelines. Next you find yourself entering Pilsen Park vvhere the main social and cultural activities of National SNPJ Day vvere staged. Scattered groups of the people are seen gathered here and there. Most of the mem¬ bers and visitors vvere inside the park’s ballroom at the time the pic¬ tures vvere taken vvaiting for the program to begin. You vvill probably agree, after you have seen these movies, that Pilsen Park is equiped vvith ali necessary facilities for an affair of this kind and, also, that the enter- tainment program was rich vvith a good mixture of outstanding adult and juveniie talent. The concluding number on the program vvas the presentation of trophies to the golf, balina and softball champions. After that you are taken on a “short tour” of the 4th National Juveniie ITand- craft Exhibit in the SNPJ Auditorium vvhere you are shovvn ali or parts of ali of the displays of handeraft entered by the twenty participating Circles. Many visitors are seen vievving the handwork. The exhibit committee and other vvorkers also get into the movies. The elosing scenes of the three-day celebration are climaxed vvith pictures of dele- : gates, supreme officers and visitors vvho attended the SNPJ Day con- i ference, the cooks anc helpers vvho had their hands full the entire vveek¬ end, and finally the various committees vvho planned and vvorked hard to achieve a successful National SNPJ Day in Chicago. Mih National Bovvling Tournament & Slill another nevv SNPJ movie is the 15 minute review of the 14th National Bovvling Tournament vvhich vvas held at Johnstovvn, Pa., last April. The scenes are laid almost entirely at the Capitol bovvling estab- lishment vvhere nearlv ali of the tournament events vvere conducted, follovved by a fevv scenes in the Slovene Hall at Moxham and several vievvs of Johnstovvn from the surrouding heights. This, we admit, isn't one of our good films for the reason that conditions vvere not favorable at the time movies v/ere taken. Hovvever, they can serve to rekindle the memories of a mightv pleasant and enjoyable weekend for the hundreds of members and friends vvho vvere fortunate to be there. Cleveland Recreaiicn Farm If your lodge or federation is interestec! in acquiring and developing a reereation park or farm, you vvill no doubt be interested in seeing the pictures vvhich vvere taken of the Cleveland SNPJ Farm. While this movie is not complete in every detail, it does convey a fairly good idea of vvhat these reereation grounds novv consist, including the large pavi- lion vvhich houses the dance floor, kitchen and bar, the caretaker’s quarters anc! club house, balina courts, childrems playground and parking space. Arrangements are also under consideration to construct a play- ing field for softball, and vvhere juveniles and adults can also stage their annual field days. A plače such as this, you vvill agree, has broad pos- sibilities as a social, recreational and vacation center ...

As evidenced in the monthly reports, the special assessment amounted to $290 during ihe past six months. Let us ask ourselves, will 290 dcllars colleeted from the Canadian members es a special assessment solve the problems of the Soc:eiy? In our opinion, no. We are con- vinced thal you would also have a deficit, if you would seggregate in the USA a little group of members as a separate unit. Our Slo- vsnisn motto is: In unily there is strength. The larger the number of membership in one unit, the easier it covers its expenses. This situation forced us io come before your Convention of the SNPJ and to' demand for us the same rights as enjoyed by the members of the SNPJ in America. As far as the Canadian aulhorities are concerned, ihe only obstacle is their demand that the record of Canadian members be kepi in Canada. Besides, the aulhcriiies vvould like io see the SNPJ do busi- ness in Canada as ii did until July, 1942. The mainienance of such an office in Canada vvould cost the Socieiy only $20 per month, or only $240 per year. Thus for $240 per year vvhich the Society vvould have io spend, vve are not permilled to accept new members in our lodges. Let us ask ourselyes, hovv much money is being speni bv ihe Sociely for various campaigns in America, vvhile membership in Canada is not being considered important. It aooears to us as if we Slovenes in Cana.da vvere considered some other kind of people, or as if we v/ere not interested in the Socieiy or cared for the progress of Slavic people. For this reason vve request that the Officers and Delegates of the 141h Regular Convention take into consideration our resoluiion and adopt the follovving three poinis: 1) To obtain the license for transaction of business in Canada to ihe exieni in effect until July, 1942, enabling us io enroll nevv members into the Societv; 2) To granl the membership in Canada same privileges and rights as enjoyed by the membership of the Socieiy in the United States; 3) To establish an Office in Canada, as reguired by the Canadian aulhorities. Approved in Toronto, Canada, this 12lh day of August, 1950. LODGE "BRATSKA SLOGA" No. 648, (Signed) Slar,ley Demshar, President (Signed) J. Sherjak. Secrelary (Signed) John Skrabec, Treasurer Brother Skuk reported further that a representative of Canadian mem¬ bers vvas present and vvanted to be heard. The chairman gave the floor to Brother Louis Klemenčič, member of Lodge 648 in Toronto, vvho greeted the delegation in behalf of the Society membership in Canada and appealed that they be given the same opportunity to inerease their ranks as have the members in the United States. The Resolutions Committee moved that the matter be turned over to the Supreme Board for action. The motion vvas seconded and unani- mously carried. Sister Lois Steibly, delegate of Lodge No. 755, asked to be excused from the afternoon session because of the plane reservation. She vvas excused. Tally committee announced tha result of the election of the Vice-Presi- dent for District No. 7. Sister Sadar received 146 votes, Brother Klan- cher 151 votes, vvith one ballot being void. Brother Turk contested the election, stating that ali the delegates have not voted, and demanding another balloting. Upon inquiry bj r the chair¬ man it'vvas eonfirmed that members of ali the committees received. their ballots. Therefore the chair ruled he cannot consider the protest, since every member of the Convention had the opportunity to čast the ballot. He declared Brother John Klancher eleeted. Brother Medvešek submitted the follovving resolution: RESOLUTION FOR RETIREMENT BENEFIT FOR SNPJ OFFICE PERSONNEL Whereas, the Slovene National Benefii Socieiy, a Progressive vvorking- men's fraternal benefit organization, recognizes the validity of ali wage earnerr.' demands for a retirerr.eni benefit after a lenglhy and faithful period of Service, and Whereas, the Slovene National Benefit Sociely gives ali moral help through the official organ "Prosveta" to ali wage earners in their strug- gle for retirement (oension) benefit,—be it therefore RESOLVED by the Fourteenih Regular Conv^ention held in Detroit, Michigan, on the 26ih day of August, 1950, that (A) On and after January 1, 1951, ali personnel employed in ihe office of the Society on the said date rhall be enlitled to a retirement (pension) benefit under the provisions cf the "Retirement (Pension) Plan", the details of vvhich shall be prepared by the Executive Committee wilh the represeniative of the employees and submitted to the Supreme Board for ratification. (B) The Supreme Board is heraby also empowered to transfer into the Retirement Fund a sufficient an.ount of money in order to make the plan operate, from such fund or funds as it may legally be permitted to do so. Brother Medvešek explained further that the Resolutions Committee vvas not submitting any specific plan, that the resolution provides for the approval of the pension plan in principle only, and that the plan itself vvould be prepared by the Executive Committee and submitted to the Supreme Board for approval. Brother Max Kumer explained the text of the resolution to the English speaking delegation and moveci its adoption. Brother Malgai inquired vvhat had happened to the pension plan vvhich vvas to be submitted by the Executive Committee to the Supreme Board, upon the motion of Brother Zupan. Brother Kumer explained that anv plan that might be considered vvas too broad in its scope for the Conven¬ tion to go into details. Consideration must be given to the demands of the union, to the recommendations of the Executive Committee, and to the extent of the liability that the Society could carry. Brother Zupan explained that he moved at the meeting of the Supreme Board the adop¬ tion of federal pension plan vvhich vvas not tied up vvith the Social Securi- ty benefits. The question of the adoption of the pension plan for the personnel of the Home Office precipitated a long debate and ciscussion, in vvhich 18 delegates and the Supreme President took part. The latter heartily rec- ommended the adoption of the resolution, stating: “There are thousands of pension. plans and it vvould take us hours and hours to discuss and approve ali the details. Hovvever, I ask you to trust the Supreme Board vvhich you have just eleeted, to approve such a plan vvhich vvill be satis-- factorv to the office personnel and at the same time acceptable to the Society. Our Society is not a stock company and you are not the stock- hoiders to hold their vievvs on this subject. On the contrary, vve are ali vvorking men and vvomen, and vve have to deal vvith our kind of people, the vvorkers.” fContinued nn paee 81 JUVENLE CIRCLE ACTIVITIES, 1947-40 ... .15 FUNERAL OF VINCENT CAINKAR, Chicago, 1948. 8 BEAUTIFUL FLOVVERS ON EXKIBIT, 1349-50.15 MISCELLANEOUS SNPJ ACTIVITIES, 1943-50..15 SLOVENIA, taken by Božidar Jakac, 1939-49...75 " Note: Films are also available of a number of activities held prior to 1941.

Spillar CLEVELAND-—The league lead¬ ing Utopian Bcavers successfully thrust aside the challenge of their second plače brother Bears as John- ny Žele personally took charge in the three point victory. John’s power bali boomed out consistent 203, 202 and 210 scores for a tidy 615 series which was the main weapon in overcoming the seventy five point deficit absorbed in the initial tift which was won by the Bears. Ed Hartman’s 530 aided in the cause as the losers couldnT match the pace on 570 and 519 shots by Joe Matthevvs and George Jeli- nek. After dropping nine straight con- tests at the start of this early sea¬ son, the Lodge Cleveland lads an- nexed their second consecutive three point win at the expense of the Spartans. Tony Gregurich and Joe Gabrowshek made the come- back situation much brighter with their 537 and 529 figures although ! the latter made it close on 543, 530 and 510 series bv Frank Krainz, Bill Schlarb and Hal Reed. Another nip and tuck affair saw the Utopian Browns edge the Loyal- ites in two games and total pins. Richy Skufca’s 588 and Elmer Pin- tar’s 511 elevated the Brovvnies to a tie for the runnerup slot in the standings with the Bears. The Loy- ites offense was led by Stan Zup- on’s 584 and Marolfs 502. Ali the matchcs tonight came out by a three to one count so the Uto¬ pian Beagles also enjoyed the long end in the battle with the Lunder Adamič men.

The attendance vvas exceptional and everyone vvas in fine spirits. Preš. Peter Kerze opened the meeting with the Lodge greeting and the business session vvas ex- pedited vvith efficiency and capabili- ty. At this time we passed the med- ical report of Bro. Matt Pauchnik vvho has been ill a great deal this past year. Hovvever, since his opera- tion, we are pleased to hear he is vvell on the road to recovery. Con- grats to you, Bro. Pauchnik! The SNPJ Federation extended an invitation to our lodge to attend the conference at the Council Chambers at Eveleth on Oct. 29 at 10 a.m. The suggestion vvas that we elect dele- gates to attend said conference.

Juvenile Handcraft Exhibit SHARON, Pa,—At last I have a chance to vvrite to Prosveta. First I vvant to thank the people in Chi¬ cago for their vvonderful hospitality vvhen I vvas there for the National SNPJ Day celebration. I had a very niče time. The members of Circle 21 vvere very proud vvhen they vvere presented vvith the trophy awarded by the SNPJ, emblematic of a tie for first plače in the 4th Na¬ tional Juvenile Handcraft Exhibit. I knovv this vvill certainly spur them on to vvork even harder next year. In submitting the follovvmg for publication, I might not vvin any friends, but they are my own opini- ons and I feel that they should be expressec’ in this way. Sometime ago Ella Mac Selak, vvho vvas chair- man of the handcraft exhibit com¬ mittee and vvho I think is a vvon¬ derful person, made some sugges- tions for rules vvhich she thought should govern future handcraft ex- hibits. These vvere published in the Prosveta. First, she stated that no matter hovv large a circle might be, it should be allotted only so much space. I don’t quite agree vvith her. Sometimes a smaller cii'cle is much more active than a large circle, so why shouldn’t it send in ali it can to shovv hovv active the members are. Hovv can you allot each circle so much space vvhen you don’t knovv hovv many children are going to participate. Besides, the handcraft exhibit is judged, or is supposed to be by the quality of vvork and not the quantity. Secondly, she suggested that vvork done outside of circle meetings be banned. Maybe in a large city like 1 Chicago you can do that, but if Sis- ter Selak lived in a small town I don’t think she vvould have men- tioned such a suggestion. Here in Sharon I can meet vvith the chil¬ dren about tvvo nights a vveek, and by the time I get to the hali it is 7 o’clock. Hovv much can children accomplish betvveen seven and their bedtime? They also have their homevvork to do and some children have quite a distance to travel. It vvas also suggested that a state- ment be made up vvhich the direc- tor of a circle anc’ her assistant (if any) should be required to sign, pledging the originality of their handcraft before it could be accept¬ ed. This to my estimation is an implication that the displays this year vvere not original, and that the members cheated by entering vvork vvhich vvas not their ovvn. I dorrt think any direetor vvould allovv her juvenil.es to display any handcraft under their own name if he or she did not make it himself. I’m sure the SNPJ trusts ali of the direetors in that respect. As for strict enforcement of the deadline, that, perhaps, vvas direeted mainly at our circle. We had a great many things that couldn't be mailed or shipped as they vvere j very fragile anc’ irreplaceable. I sent Sister Selak a special delivery 1 letter and explained that, because i of vvork. I couldnt possibly arrive in Chicago before late Saturday afternoon. So vvhen I got there the exhibit had already been judged. But the judges vvere stili there, and they vvere good enough to judge our j exhibit. If a direetor cannot, due to vvork, etc., bring or send breakablc articles by deadline time, it vvould be very unjust to disqualify the exhibit. Furthenr.ore, I don’t think that the handcraft displays should be judged until the final day of the SNPJ Day affair or at least the day after the opening of the exhibit. The motto “Quality and not quan- tity” is ali right, but vvhat about ali the tiny tots in our circles from 5 to 8 years of age? What sort of perfection do you expect from them? After ali, they are almost too young to even vvrite their ovvn names, let alone make anything perfect. You have to allovv for them. As far as the things that the older children make, their vvork is usually of good quality. The SNPJ has made ex- hibits possible so that ali juvenile members can enter articles they themselves have made. While in Chicago I spoke to Bro. C alkar and Bro. Vider, and. both thought that this year’s exhibit vvas really rr.arvelous and vvere proud of it. As for quality, one of my members, vvho is in the first grade, made a bovv and arrovv of vvhich he vvas very proud. It vvas Foughly put together vvith a piece of string tied betvveen tvvo ends of a limb and dravvn taut to form a bovv. The arrovv vvas another stick j ust as roughly shaped. He vvas pretty proud of his part in the exhibit. This wasn’t quality, but it vvas something he, himself, had made. If things such as these vvere dis- qualified it is only natural that the children, vvho are left out vvhen small, vvill not even attempt to en¬ ter exhibits vvhen they grovv older. Sister Selak mentioned, also, that each mernber should be permitted to enter only one article in the ex- hibit. This wouldn't be fair to the members or the circles represented. What if one excelled in more than one craft such as metal vvork, sevv- ing, vvoodvvork or felt craft? Why shoulc’ n't'he or she be permitted to enter everything? After ali, I think that is the object of our exhibits, to shovv people vvhat the members can do. If only one mernber in a circle is interested in entering hand¬ craft and vvorks bard to get up an e v (ubit- to l epiesent lus c.ircie, I don’t think that should disqualify the exhibit. If such a rule vvere put into effect, that mernber vvould never have a chance to shovv other circles vvhat he is capable of mak- ing. As far as judges are concerned, I think they should be persons vvho are vvell acquainted vvith handcraft projects and vvhat children of cer- tain ages can be expected to do. The ages of the participants should be a major item, besides their vvork, in judging the handcraft. Some Professional people after a time get to the point vvhere they vvant per¬ fection in everythinp. and so -vve should be very careful in selecting judges for our exhibits. I hope that Ella Mae doesn’t get too angry vvith me for vvriting this article, but she has had her say and I feel that I should express my vievvs, also. Everyone should have a right to his or her opinion. In the exhibit from Herminie, Pa., one of the girls made some adorable crocheted dolls to vvear as lapel pins. I vvonder if she vvould send me her name and address. Our Circle members hold bovvl- ing sessions every Friday at 7 pm, at Caldvvelhs Recreation Center. Every vveek vve each bovvl three games. The children have a grand time and are doing quite vvell in their bovvling. This Thursday the children vvill have a Hallovveen party and ali the committees are chosen and arrange- ments for this annual event under vvay. We plan to have a very big and successful party. Pil vvrite more next vveek. Best of lučk and vvishes to you ali. FRANCES KAY BAHOR, Direetor Circle 21 Out California Way FONTANA, Calif. —- Because so many people read this paper, it’s a pleasure to vvrite and exchange thoughts vvith members from Coast to Coast. One does not realize vvhat an audience he has until he or she comes in contact vvith other lodge members throughout the country. First, must mention and thank the lodges of the Bay Cities: San Francisco, Oakland and Richmond, for their effort in putting over the yearly California SNPJ Day. Let us hope that these days vvill long continue. Our Bovvlers’ Hard-Time Dance held on the 21st vvas a success.. Everyone enjoyed the comedy acts put on by the masqueraders. Wear- ing a rubber mask vvith the ugly facial expression of a one-eyed pi¬ rate (having the outvvard appear¬ ance of truly being a male and not merely depicting one) vvith an ab- undance of energy—really surpsised everyone vvhen upon removing the mask revealed our good bov/ling mernber—Mrs. Gross vvho. vvith her husband, operate the “Den” on Foothill blvd. Due to a bustling sound at the entrance to the Hall, ali eyes fo- cussed on the door to see tvvo long legs protruding from a wierdly con- trapted baby buggy being pushed by a “proud father”. Of course, the buggy was equipped vvith ali the baby's needs—except that the milk bottles contained an amber liquid that the “daddy” enjoved so much himself that the baby had to do vvithout. Their comical anties kept everyone in stitches. It vvas something different vvhen Frank Vidmar, a comedian himself, inves- togated and hauled out the sup- posedly baby vvho turned out to be none other than 6-foot Basey of Los Angeles. And the dadc : y: Gunnar Kallgren. Imagine hauling that bulky, but daintilv decorated vvith pink bovvs, buggv from Los Angeles. 'Tvvas certainly a clever rig, and brought much laughter. Don’t mean to offend the other masqueraders, but these vvere the outstanding cutups. The bovvling league thanks ali for making it a successful evening. On Nove 12, vve celebrate our 20th Anniversarv vvith a banquet and en- tertainment in the afternoon. In the evening, there vvill be dancing. We urge ali our members and friends to be vvith us for a glorious day. See you then. JOE RICHTAR, 723 Proceedings of the 14TH REGULAR CONVENTION SLOVENE NATIONAL BENEFIT SOCIETY Held in Deiroii, Michigan from 21st io 26ih of Augusi, 1950 (Continued from page 7) During the debate it vvas further explained that it vvas erroneous to think that the pension plan vvould cover the Supreme Board; only em- ployes and those officers are involved vvho are employed in the Home Office. Regardless of the nature of the plan, contributory or non-eon- tr_ibutory, the Society vvill be affected to the same degree. If the em- ployes themselves vvould also contribute to the fund, their benefits vvould be so much greater. It vvas further explained that the greater part of the income, necessary to maintain this pension fund, vvas provided for in the budget of income and disbursements of the general expense fund previously submitted to the convention. Some members vvere of the opinion that the exccutive officers should be excluded from the plan, vvhile others recommended that the membership settle the matter through a referendum. One of the delegates stated that he vvas forced to strike for ten vveeks, before he vvas granted the old age papsion; this problem vvas before tvvo previous conventions and each time the result vvas nega- tive; the time is therefore ripe that vve do something positive about it. The time is also ripe that vve vvere given some definite plan. It vvas the duty of the Executive Committee to make the idea of old age pension popular among the membership vvhich vvould certainly approve of it. Another speaker stated that the Supreme Board vvill look for its ovvn interests, if it vvere allovved to make its ovvn pension plan. Stili another delegate contended that vve are poor unionists, if vve are to deny the employes in the Home Office the right to those benefits, for vvhich vve vvere fighting in principle for a long' period of years. What vvill vve do vvith our old employes? Speaking in favor of the retirement plan vvere also delegates represent- ing English Speaking Lodges, vvho stated they have full confidence in the Supreme Board and expect it to adopt such a plan v/hich vvould prove most appropriate under the circumstances. The greatest part of the Supreme Board is composed of members vvho are not officers of the Society, and therefore vvill not be included in the plan. When the list of speakers vvas exhausted, the resolution vvas put to a vote and it vvas adopted by a great majority of votes. The session vvas adjourned at 12:20 P.M. DONALD J. LOTRICH, Chairman MATTHEW J. TURK, Secretarv MIRKO G. KUHEL, Rec. Sec’y SNPJ Memiiers' Forum Another Election SPRINGFIELD, 111,—A n o t h e r election has rolled around, for this Nov. 7, and an important one it is. I don’t knovv that Organized La¬ bor has ,ever before taken such an active interest in polities in its ovvn behalf. I hope it vvill finally realize its political povver this time and come of age. Since vve have no choice but to support either Pro¬ gressive Democrats or Republicans, I believe vve SNPJers should gc» along and vote vvith the Labor Unions. Here in Illinois they have ali endorsed Scott Lucas; defeat Dirksen vvho has been “blessed" by Taft. And vve vvho live here in Central Illinois in the 21st District vvhich includes Sangamon, Macoupin and Montgomery counties vvherein the Prosveta is read, should remem- ber that Peter Mačk has labors en-, dorsement. His opponent, DeBoice. is a bitter reactionary. We hope our people in Ohio vvill put Taft dovvn in defeat. He is just no good for the working man 1 In Oregon state this policy vvould mean to vote for Senator Morse, a Progressive Republican. Keep the reactionaries out of Congress! Un¬ der the Free Enterprise system of Herbert Hoover in 1929-1932 the First-Trust Joint Stock Land Bank of Chicago, forcclosed on 1600 farms. The farm vve live on vvas one of these. Another farm adjoining ours vvas another of them. I can prove this. Let's put in office only those vvho are most progressively inclined. JOE G. BRINOCAR, 567 Fontana News FONTANA, Calif,—The bovvlers’ dance held last vveek vvas not as vvell attended as expected. I vvish to thank ali those vvho donated prizes, and certainly hope for larger attendance at our Valentine dance Feb. 10. The committee of Lodge 723 is urging ali members and friends to come to our Lodge's 20th anniver- sary celebration on Sunday, Nov. 12, at the Slovene Hall.
