Zed. države in svet so izgubili velikega vodnika." V mestu bodo pogrebni obredi za predsednikom V Clevelandu bodo jutri ob času pogrebnih obredov v Wash-ingtonu pogrebne molitve v vseh episkopalnih cerkvah, ker je bil pokojni Roosevelt te veroizpovedi. V nedeljo popoldne ob štirih bodo pa pogrebni obredi v katoliški katedrali sv. Janeza, katere bo opravil škof Hoban. Po vseh katoliških cerkvah so bile danes molitve za pokojnega predsednika. Škof Hoban je izjavil: "Smrt predsednika Roosevelta je pahnila deželo v tako veliko in splošno žalost, da dvigamo instinktivno svoja srca k vsemogočnemu Bogu v molitvi. Ne molimo samo, da bi bil Bog usmiljen njegovi duši, katerega odgovornost za dobrobit naroda je bila tak0 ogroriina, ampak molimo tudi k Sv. Duhu za vodstvo in varstvo sedaj, ko smo izgubili svojega voditelja." Nekaj trgovin bo danes zaprlo po mestu Trgovine v mestu bodo danes ob dveh popoldne zaprle. Večinoma vsa gledišča v mestu osta- nejo zaprta do šestih jutri zvečer. Zveza gostilničarjev, je urgi-rala člane, naj zaprejo gostilne med 2:30 in 3:30 danes popoldne. Državne prodajalne žganja bodo zaprle ob eni popoldne da nes. --o—- Rusi so okupirali Dunaj po osmih dneh bojev po ulicah Moskva, 13. apr. — Ruske kolone, ki so se borile 8 dni po dunajskih (ulicah in razvalinah nekdaj krasnih palač imajo zdaj v rokah vso avstrijsko prestolnico. Zavzetje Dunaja je poročal maršal Stalin. Istočasno pa trdijo neuradna poročila, da so začele ruske čete z spolšno ofenzivo od reke Odre v smeri proti Berlinu. Rusi so zajeli na Dunaju do 130,000 Nemcev. Dunaj je 18. evropska prestolnica ki je padla v roke zavezniškim armadam. Dunaj je štel 1,924,000 prebivalcev in je bilo 15. največje mesto na svetu. Dunaj je tudi največje mesto, ki so ga dozdaj še osvojili Sovjeti. Ena ruska kolona prodira zdaj proti Brnu na češkem, druga pa proti bavarski meji, zapadlio od Dunaja. -o-- Prihodnja perioda za žganje 5 tednov Columbus, O. — Prihodnja perioda za nakup žganja v državnih prodajalnah bo trajala 5 tednov, začenši v pondeljek. Dozdaj je trajala perioda 4 tedne. Brinjevec (gin) bo dan zopet nazaj na racioniranje. -o- Prijavite naslove Urad za pozidavo slovenske naselbine bi rad zvedel za na-solve vseh onih, ki imajo parcele na pogorišču. Naslove prijavite Anton Grdini ali kateremu drugemu odborniku. Fantje, letos ga pa ne boste dihali! Marčno pivo (boclc beer) se letos tako težko dobi, kot svinjska šunka. V" državi Illinois sfa f/a zvarili samo dve pivovarni to sezijo. Tako je po vsej deželi, da ga je napravila sama tu pa sem kaka pivovarna. Pivovarji pravijo, da je z izdelovanjem marčnega piva dosti dela, dobička pa skoro nič. Pred vojno se je prikazalo marčno pivo na bari 17. marca. No, letos bo pa vsako dobro, samo da je, kaj ne, fantje? Razne vesti od nailh borcev v službi Strica Sama Danicic, Hospital Annex Ward 5, Patterson Field, Ohio. M n M Sgt. Michael G. Filipovic, sin Mrs. H. Kukac iz 14815 West-ropp Ave. je bil zadnji teden 3 dni doma na dopustu iz taborišča Gruber, Oklahoma. Njegova žena, prej Rose Suponcic in sin Michael, ki sta bila z mo^m oziroma očetom sedem mesecev, bosta zdaj stanovala pri Mrs. F. Burgar, 1381 Giddings Rd. Sgt. Filipovic bo moral namreč kmalu "tje preko." M Ml M« Sgt. Joseph Koljat, sin Mr. in Mrs. Louis Koljat iz 19404 Chickasaw Ave. se je po 45 dneh dopusta zopet povrnil k svoji četi v Atterbury, Indiana. - Po St. Clair cesti se .. bomo čez en mesec že vozili, pravijo • Mestni odbornik 23. varde, Mr. Kovačič, nam je povedal glede poprave St. Clair ceste slede- • če, ko smo ga vprašali, kdaj, za _ božjo voljo, bo že pripravljena za promet. Cesta bo pripravlje-na za promet čez en mesec, pra-, vi Mr. Kovačič. ' Koncem tega tedna bo gotova z delom pod St. Clair cesto električna družba. Mesto je že razpisalo ponudbe za tlakanje ceste. Te ponudbe bodo odprte pri-1 hodnjo sredo ter cesta oddana za tlakanje do sobote. In od tedaj mora biti cesta pripravljena za promet v 30 dneh: | Torej okrog 20. maja bomo že lahko furali po naši St. Clair cesti, nekako 7 mesecev po katastrofi v plinarni ' ! -o-__! Nemika armada se j podaja zapadnim za- j veznikominneRusom Washington. __ Nemško vrhovno poveljstvo se je očividno odločilo, da se je bolje podati Amerikancem, Angležem, Ka-nadcem in Francozom, kot pa Rusom. Zato ni zclaj na zapad-ni fronti škorb nobenega odpora ' več. | Dolgo pričakovana vdaja Nemčije je očividno tukaj. Ni se sicer podala nemška vlada, | pač pa nemška armada po uka-! zu poveljnikov. Vse to potrjuje' naglica, s katero prodirajo ameriške kolone zadnjih 24 ur. Drugo dejstvo/ki to potrjuje, je tudi to, da Nemci drže Ruse ! nekaj milj pred Berlinom že več ■ tednov, dočim ni pred ameriški-1 J mi armadami skoro nobene opo-!! zicije. Zato se bo tudi najbrže'! zgodilo, da bodo Amerikanci pr-; 1 vi v Berlinu. '-o--— Lep uspeh za Rdeči križ I v 23. vardi Clevelanda , V zadnji kampanji za Rdeči! -križ se je 23. varda v Clevelan- i < du zelo dobro odzvala, kot nam'i sporoča načelnik John L. Mihe-lich. Vsega skupaj se je nabralo in izročilo v blagajna Rdeče- < ga križa $4,287.89. Imena na-1 f biralcev in vsote bonio priobčili , enkrta kasneje. Važna seja V pondeljek ob osmih zvečer bo v javni knjižnici na 55. St. in St. Clair Ave. važna seja korpo-racije za pozidavo slovenske na-sebine. , Vsi naj pridejo. četrta obletnica V pondeljek ob 6:30 bo darovana v cerkvi sv. Vida maša za pokojno Rose Zalokar v spomin 4. obletnice njene smrti. truplo^otroka je bilo poslano po pošti Palo Ato, Cal. — Iz Dallas, Texas, je bilo poslano po pošti v Palo Alto, Kalifornija, trupel-ce otroka. Policija išče tako od-pošiljatelja kot naslovljenca. Preiskavo v6dijo tudi poštni inšpektorji. Zdravnik, ki je trupelce pregledal, pravi, da je bil otrok rojen živ in da je umrl vsled zadu-šenja. Morda je umrl otrok šele potem, ko so ga dali v mal zaboj in ga odposlali po pošti. Zaboj je bil naslovljen na neko žensko v Palo Alto. OB tednu ! Senat bo v kratkem poslal po-seben odbor na evropsko boji-1 Iče, ne v boj, ampak da pregleda j položaj ameriških armad. V i zbornici je zdaj velik boj, kdo j bo poslan v Evropo. Vojaški od-; sek je pričakoval to nalogo, pa je videti, da je šla zbornica mimo njega. ! A Filipini bodo postali avtoma- 1 tično samostojni 4. julija 1946. | Toda predsednik Zed. držav ima j pravico razglasiti samostojnost Filipinom prej. Najbrže se bo to zgodilo, čim bodo Japonci po-' pol noma pregnani z otočja. A Zavezniki so vznemirjeni radi pogostih poročil iz Tokia, da so zavezniški bombniki ubili to- < liko in toliko vojnih ujetnikov , v taboriščih. Zavezniški letalci ' dobro vedo, kje so ta taborišča ■ in se jih skrbno izogibljejo z < bombami. Zato zavezniki sumi- <. jo, da Japonci morijo ujetnike j ali jih stradajo do smrti, potem t pa razglasijo, da so jih ubili za- r vezniški bombniki pri zračnem i napadu. A I Naš vojni department ima eno skrb poleg vsakdanjih, namreč, l kaj naj se napravi po padcu c Nemčije z nemškimi vojnimi ^ ujetniki tukaj. Ako bi jih po- " slali takoj domov, bi bilo to ve- z liko breme za ladje, ki jih potre- 8 bujem0 na Pacifiku in za evrop-| ski relif. Morda bi tudi ne bilo j dobro poslati domov spočite in dobro napasene nacije. Najbrže jih bo pošiljal vojni oddelek v majhnih oddelkih in polagoma, k Ameriške delavske organizacije c pravijo, da ne vidijo rade, da bi q vojni ujetniki delali tukaj po j, vojni. ' h A z i Vse kaže, da bomo pošiljali Rusiji potrebščine iz posojilne- n sklada po končani vojni v Evropi iz vzhodnih pristanišč. Zdaj gre blago v glavnem pre- . ko Pacifika v Vladivostok. J* d A Angleški viri trdijo, da so gla- jj vni naciji naložili velike vsote n Jenarja v Švici, Portugalski, s| Španiji in v Južni Ameriki. s1 Skupno imajo naciji naloženega, q ;rdijo Angleži, do $320,000,000. A Zavezniki pričakujejo, da bo Stalin imenoval maršala Voro-silova za sovjetskega komisarja n ari zavezniški komisiji, ki bo po /o j ni upravljala Nemčijo. r: A ri Rimski meščani se bolj boje, B 3a bi jim roparji ne odnesli oble- n co kot pa denar. Ropi in tatvi- P ie so tam na dnevnem redu. Par k jevljev stane v Rimu do $100, P ,ore j ni čudno, če roparji ne gle-iajo za denarjem. A 11 Ameriški inženirji poskušajo n igraditi za povojne truke motor, si ti bo imel od 400 do 500 konj- si ?kih sil. Tak motor bi moral po- = ;egniti težo 75,000 funtov. Ra- JS jili bi ga največ v goratih za- _ oadnih delih Zed. držav. A Ameriške zavarovalne družbe v 50 plačale v januarja $115,000,- rr >00 dedičem padlih vojakov. To ti ie rekord za katerikoli mesec v s< lobi njih obstoja. z< A * Nek kongresnik je vprašal: ci 'Kaj bomo po vojni napravili z oazami, katere smo vzeli v na- o jem za '99 let?" Well, mi mu ne n remo odgovora, in morda tudi u marsikdo drugi ne. k -o--ji Kupujte vojne bonde! b NOVI GROBOVI Joseph Pavlench Po daljši bolezni je umrl na svojem domu, 882 Rudyard Rd. Joseph Pavlench, star 59 let. Tukaj zapušča žalujočo soprogo Terezijo roj. Bohinc, sina Cpl. Josepha, ki se je nahajal 35 mesecev na Novi Gvineji in je sedaj v Halloran General bolnišnici v New Yorku, hčer Theresa, brata Franka v Gary, Ind., ter več sorodnikov. Rojen je bil v Kostanjevici, kjer zapušča pet bratov in drugo sorodstvo. Tukaj je bival 33 let ter je bil član št. 142 SNPJ in društva Slovenec št. 1 SDZ. Pogreb bo v pondeljek zjutraj ob 9:15:iz Želetovega pogrebnega zavoda v cerkev Marije Vnebovzete in na Kalvari-jo. Naj počiva v miru, preostalim sožalje. Rudolph Chesnik Nenadoma se je zgrudil in kmalu zatem umrl v Emergency Clinic bolnišnici Rudolph Chesnik, star 56 let, stanujoč na 16011 Waterloo Rd. Pogreb ima v oskrbi Želetov pogrebni zavod. Čas pogreba in druge podrobnosti priobčimo prihodnjič. Pogreb Elizabete Bijek Pogreb pokojne Elizabete Bijek bo v pondeljek zjutraj ob devetih iz Grdinovega pogrebnega zavoda v cerkev sv. Vida in potem na Kalvarijo. Kot se nam sporoča, zapušča tukaj se-| stro Terezijo Jakšič Fink, v| stari domovin'i pa sestro Ivano Gliha. PATT0N IE 90 milj od RUS0V_ Tretja armada je presekala vse ceste, ki vežejo Berlin z jugom Pariz, 14. apr. — Tretja ameriška armada je že presekala vse glavne ceste, ki vežejo Berlin z južnim delom Nemčije. Samo prav malo še manjka in Nemčija b0 razdeljena na dva dela, severni in južni del. General Patton se je včeraj pognal 32 milj proti vhodu ter je presekal deželno cesto Berlin-Monakovo, dve železniški progi v isti smeri, se približal ruski fronti na 90 milj ter se približal na 38 milj mestu Dresdenu, ki je glavno mesto Saksonije. Patton hoče presekati zadnjo linijo, po kateri bi se mogli umakniti naciji od severa na jug v bavarske hribe, kjer se pripravljajo na zadnji odpor. Natančnih pozicij 3. ameriške armade sicer ne dajo še v javnost, toda računa se pa lahko, da je Patton oddaljen od češke meje sam0 še kakih 30 milj. Deveta ameriška armada se pa vali proti reki Labi na 100 milj široki fronti ter se je pognala že do točke 45 milj od Berlina. Prva armada se približuje Leipzigu, katerega je 3. armada prešla na jugu. Prva armada je postala brezobzirna. Ko so v neki vasi streljali civilisti iz hiš na ameriške čete, so Amerikanci zapodili svoje tanke proti hišam in jih porušili d0 tal vse, iz katerih so Nemci strejali. Tretja armada je z lahkoto okupirala zgodovinsko mesto Je-no, kjer je dosegel Napoleon eno svojih največjih zmag nad Pru-si. Nemški ujetniki na stavki ker ni bilo cigaret Darovi za begunce V našem uradu so bili izročeni sledeči darovi za slovenske begunce v, Rimu: društvo sv. Cirila in Metoda 191 KSKJ je darovalo $5.00, po $1: Mrs. M. Ropret, Louis Srpan in neimenovana, ki je izročila tudi $1 za pošiljanje lista vojnim ujetnikom. Prav lepa hvala vsem skupaj. Osma obletnica V torek 17. aprila bo darovana v cerkvi sv. Vida ob osmih maša za pokoj n0 Frances Lev-stek v spomin 8. obletnice njene smrti. Belle Glade, Fla. — V to-I varni za prezerviranje sadja dela 250 nemških vojnih ujetnikov. Oni dan so zastavkali dva dni, ker ni bilo zanje ob času cigaret na razpolago. Ameriški poveljnik jih je dal pa za kazen na kruh in vodo. -o- Seja mlad. zbora V pondeljek ob 7:30 bo seja mladinskega pevskega zbora SDD na Waterloo Rd. Več važnih zadev bo na dnevnem redu, zato se prosi polne udeležbe. Na bolniški postelji Mrs. Anna Stiftar, 5810 Dibble Ave. je zbolela za pljučnico, toda zdravje se ji že obrača na bolje. Rada bi videla, če bi jo prijateljice ob priliki obiskale. nemški župan se je obesil, ko je videl brutalnost nacijev Ohrdruf, Nemčija. — Polkovnik Searl, ki je s svojimi četami našel nemško koncentracijsko taborišče blizu tega mesta, kjer so naciji na debelo morili tuje-zemske delavce, je hotel, da bi Nemci sami videli brutalnost na-cijev. Zbral je kakih 40 boljših Nemcev ter jih peljal na kraj zločinov. Tukaj so še videli trupla umorjenih, ki so bila zložena na kupu kot drva. Na drugem kraju so videli odprto jamo, kjer s0 bila nagrmadena trupla. Veči- noma vsi so bili ustreljeni zadej v glavo. Na nekem kraju so ležala trupla v krogu 40 čevljev. Očividno so morale žrtve v krogu poklekniti, nakar so jih naciji ustrelili drugega za drugim zadej, v glavo. Med Nemci, ki so si to ogledovali in ki svojim očem niso mogli verjeti, da so take grozovi-tosti mogoče, je bil tudi župan mesta Ohrdruf in njegova žena. Drugi dan so ju našli v domači hiši obešena. Amerikanci pravijo, da sta izvršila samomor. Oilman bo govori! kongresu Truman je proglasil danes za vse Zed. držav dan zalova-i - Truplo predsednika Roosevelta na potu v Washington. - 6u-^r-er Lausche narodu, naj sloji trdno za novim predsednikom, spominski obredi za Rooseveltom v Clevelandu. Pred nekaj tedni je dobila Mrs. Mary Ann Daničič, rojena Bandi, obvestilo, da se je" njen soprog, pilot S/Sgt. John R. Daničič hudo poškodoval z letalom nekje na zapadnem bojišču in da se zdravi v vojaški bolnišnici v Franciji. Pred nekaj dnevi je pa sam telefonično sporočil, da je bil pripeljan s transportnim letalom v Zed. države in sicer v vojaško bolnišnico v Patterson Field, Ohio. Ta kraj je nekako 15 milj od Daytona, O. Soproga in Mrs. Eleonor Bandi sta se odpeljali z letalom tje, da ga obiščeta. John je še v zelo kritičnem stanju in ne bo mogel še več mesecev iz bolnišnice.

Furlanu v London Entered as second-class matter January 5th. 1909, at the Post Office Cleveland. Ohio, under the Act of March 3rd, 1879. ______ at No. 86 Sat., Apr. 14, 1945 Ne bomo metali klobukov v zrak Nekateri Amerikanci, ali če hočemo reči: mnogo ljudi bo dalo duška veselju, ko bomo zaslišali sporočilo, da je v Evropi vojna končana. Morda že ta ali oni v omari spravljeno steklenico najboljšega, ki jo bo takrat odprl, zagnal klobuk same prešernosti v zrak .ali ob tla, zavriskal in si ga natočil zvrhan kozarec. Res je, da bo vsak vesel te novice, ampak ne verjamemo, da bi bilo čezmerno veseljačenje takrat na mestu. Preveč je padlo naših fantov na evropskih bojiščih, da bi mogli • dati duška svojemu veselju nad koncem vojne. .Popolnoma se strinjamo s clevelandskim škofom Hobanom, ki priporoča za takrat, ko se bodo oglasili zvonovi in parne piščali ter oznanjale konec evropske vojne, da gremo v cerkve in se tam spomnimo onih, ki se ne bodo vrnili domov z zmagovalci. Raje kot bi dali duška razposajenemu veselju, od katerega nima nihče kake hasni„se spomnimo onih tisočih in tisočih, ki so prelili za nas in domovino svojo srčno kri in ki spijo večno spanje v daljni tuji zmelji. Pokazali bomo s tem, da smo resen narod, ki zna upoštevati najvišje žrtve, ki so jih dali številni naši fantje na polju slave. S tem bomo pokazali, da smo vredni teh žrtev, da smo zrel narod, ki se zaveda resnih časov in resnosti položaja. Ako bi takrat veseljačili, bi bilo prav' toliko, kot če bi plesali na dan smrti našega najdražjega bitja. Oni srečni, ki bodo lahko pričakovali svoje sinove in brate z bojnega polja, bodo res lahko veseli. Toda to veselje krotimo in soeustvujmo z onimi, ki bodo zdihovali: našega pa ne bo domov ... Z resnim zadržanjem bomo dali veliko uteho žalujočim, ki so tudi vredni in potrebni našega sočustvovanja in tolažilne besede. Proti zmagujočim armadam gre armada sužnjev Od zapada prodirajo v Nemčijo zavezniški tanki in armade. Proti njim pa prodira vse drugačna armada, armada sestradanih in stepenih sužnjev, ki išče zavetja pri zaveznikih. To je armada nemških vojnih ujetnikov in prisilnih delaveve, ki so se oprostili nemških spon in hite v zavetje zavezniških tankov. V tej armadi bivših nemških sužniev so Francozi, Holandci, Nizozemci, Čehi, Italijani, Grki, Jugoslovani, Poljaki in kdo še vse. Nekateri gredo peš, nekateri na motornih vozilih, drugi na kolesih, tretji s konjsko vprego ali na konjih. Vse to so pobrali Nemcem. Pa ne samo vozila, ampak tudi živež, kjer so le mogli do njega. Mnogi so izropali nemške trgovine, tovarne in kmetije ob potu. V Fuerstenbergu v zapadin Nemčiji so ruski delavci zasedli bogata posestva grofa Metternicha, si organizirali komunistično komuno ter si servirali steak po trikrat na dan. Razume se, da niso vprašali za račun, ko so odšli naprej. Na desettisoče se jih je vsulo preko zapadne Nemčije. Kmalu bo štelo pa njih število milijone. Hitler je namreč ukazal pripeljati na prisilno delo v Rajh do 11,000,000 delavcev iz okupiranih dežel. In ti zdaj izrabljajo zmedo po Nemčiji, pa gredo v zavetje k zaveznikom. Ta, armada sužnjev je postala velik problem za zaveznike zaradi prehrane. Zavezniške armade imajo same težko-če, ko morajo dobivati živež za naglo napredujočimi četami. Nek ameriški stotnik je imel nekega dne na skrbi 20,000 takih ubeglih delavcev, pa naj jih preživi, kakor hoče napol sestradane. Truki 3. ameriške armade, ki so šli v zaledje po potrebščine, so naložili te reveže ter jih pripeljali v Frankfurt, kjer so dobili prvo pošteno hrano, obleko in zdravniško pomoč. Deveta armada je osvobodila v Eseiheide 8,500 Rusov in 110 Francozov. S Francozi so Nemci še dokaj lepo postopali, toda z Rusi so pa ravnali 'kot z živino polna tri leta Dajali so jim toliko jesti, da niso mogli ne umreti ne živeti. Toda teh 8,500 Rusov je predstavljalo samo 2 odstotoka prvotnih jetnikov. Do 30,000 Rusov je pokopanih na ogromnem pokopališču v bližini. In potem naj kdo skuša pregovoriti Ruse, da bi lepo postopali z Nemci po vojni! Ko so se približali temu koncentracijskemu taborišču ameriški tanki, so Rusi za žično ograjo planili .na nemški voz, s potrebščinami, ki je pravkar dospel v taborišče. Kot g'adni volkovi so se vrgli sestradani jetniki na kruh in druga živila. Ako se je enemu posrečilo pograbiti hleb kruha, se je stegnilo najmanj deset drugih rok po njem. Toda bilo jih je tudi mnogo, ki so ležali kot otopeli na tleh. N:so se zmenili ne za živež ne za rešitelje. Ti so bili zdelani do smrti vsfed glada in vsled neprestanega pretepanja. Mnogi so na duhu že tako otopeli, da ne bodo še dolgo doma za nobe.no rabo če bodo sploh še kdaj. To je napravila iz njih nemška "kultura" 20. stoletja. Ampak kjer je bilo to mogoče, so bivši sužnji naglo obračunali s svojimi valpti. Časopisje poroča o slučaju ruskega ujetnika. Ko so prišli zavezniki do njega, je bilo prvo, da si je izrezal iz papirja rdečo zvezdo in si jo pripel na kapo. S tem Rusom so na tistem posestvu posebno slabo postopali, a še posebno pa domača hči, fanatična nazijka. To je zdaj Rus pograbil in jo odpeljal za skeden. Tam si je vzel svoje maščevanje nad ot-,esiniffl in oholim nemškim dekletom. (Nadaljevanje) Če je v perspektivah te vojne in prihodnjega miru še kaj izgleda za združeno in svobodno Slovenijo, potem bodite prepričani, gospod profesor, da je "seme izkrvavelega naroda" v tem taboru. Pri partizanih KPS ni odločilna združena Slovenija, temveč so merodajni komunistični nameni v tem delu Evrope. Njihov namen ni svobodna Slovenija na osnovah Atlantske poslanice in štirih Rooseveltovih svoboščin, temveč ta, da se iztrebijo vsi demokratsko usmerjeni Slovenci in pride do totalitarne diktature komunistične partije. To sledi iz njih dejanj, pa tudi iz njihovih zaupnejših okrožnic,navodil in govorov. Mnogi dobri Slovenci so to spoznali šele potem, ko so ta razvoj doživeli; mnogi drugi, posebno o-ni izven "ljubljanske pokrajine" po tej izkustveni poti še niso mogli priti do jasnih spoznanj. Prof. Ehrlich pa je vedel od prvega početka, kam pelje ekskluzivizem KPS pod krinko OF, ker je pač predobro poznal komunizem in še posebej naše komuniste, prežete z avstrijsko - trockistieno miselnostjo dunajske komunistične centrale, kjer so se šolali kolovodje KPS. Toda, naj spet preidem k pripovedovanju spominskih drobcev o narodnem delu pok. prof. Ehrlicha. Prof, Ehrlich je bil zasnova-telj in deloma aktivni sotrud-nik štirih podtalnih listov med okupacijo. Prvi od teh listov — "Slovenija in Evropa" — je i-mel skoraj revij al ni obseg in značaj. V šestih številkah je z znanstveno resnostjo in temelj itqst j o razložil duhovno-zgo-dovinski smisel te vojne proti tiraniji in totalitarizmu za svobodo osebnosti in narodov. Utemeljil je s podrobno analizo duhovno nepremostljivost med temi anglo - ameriškimi smotri in partizansko miselnostjo. Z e^iako resnostjo je razvil slovenski narodni program in prinašal izčrphe dokumentarične popise nemškega preganjanja po Gorenjskem in Štajerskem. Prof. Ehrlich je bil tudi ini-ciator enega prvih slovenskih protiokupatorskih letakov v Ljubljani. Ta letak je protestiral proti temu, da so Italija- ni privedli v Ljubljano Giglia in ž njim prirejali propagandne laške koncerte v dneh, ko so Nemci v živinskih vagonih vozili skozi Ljubljano slovenske deportirance iz Goren jske. Kdor'je poznal Ehrilchovo slo-evnsko srce, si pač lahko predstavlja Ehrlichovo razpoloženje v dotičnih dneh. Prof. Ehrlich je tudi sam neposredno občutil italijanske o-kupacijske metode v Sloveniji. Prvega decembra 1941, na prvo obletnico južnoslovanskega ze-dinjenja pod okupacijo, je profesor Ehrlich molil z akademiki sv. rožni venec v kongrega-cijski sobi stolnega župnišča. Sredi molitve so vdrli v sobo italijanski vojaki in miličniki. Z naperjenimi puškami so pozvali vse navzoče, naj dvignejo roke. Po izvršeni brezuspešni telesni preiskavi so jih skupno s prof. Ehrlichom kolektivno aretirali. Nato so jih v oboroženem spremstvu, ki je bilo številnejše od. aretirancev, vodili do kvesture. Po poti so vojaki, miličniki in agenti akademike tolkli s puškinimi kopiti in ročaji revolverjev, vpijoč da so jih dobili pri proslavi 1. decembra. Mimoidoči laški oficirji so se zaganjali vanje, jih s pestmi bili v obraz in brcali. Po vsej poti so aretiranci morali držati roke kvišku. Nekaj korakov za glavnim sprevodom sta dva oborožena vojaka vodila prof. Ehrlicha, glasno razlagajoč, da je ta duhovnik "capo-balida" prednjih "tolovajev." (Dalje prihodnjič.) --o- Faranom sv. Vida naših sinov in hčera, ki se danes nahajajo v ameriški bojni službi. Pritožbe radi te častne plošče prihajajo vedno bolj pogosto od strani staršev, bratov in sester, kateri vprašujejo: zakaj pa našega ime ni gori? Da se tem pritožbam pride v okom, je direk-torij Slovenskega delavskega doma sklical sestanek vseh društev, ki zborujejo v tem domu. Ta sestanek se je vršil v soboto večer 31. marca 1945. Udeležba je bila zelo povoljna, najbolj pa je bilo razveseljivo, ker je bilo na tem sestanku opaziti tudi večje število naše tu rojene mladine. Kjer se dela poprime naša mlajša generacija, tam je uspeh •zagotovljen. Izvoljen je bil v ta namen tudi odbor, kateri bo na čelu društvenih zastopnikov vodil delo, da se popolna častna plošča' z imeni čim prej mogoče vpostavi. Tej skupini je bilo danes tudi ime in sicer. Odbor slovenskih vojakov v ameriški armadi. V ta odbor so bili izvoljeni sledeči, predsednik George Panchuj-, podpredsednica Antonia Tomle, tajnica Gertrude Koželj, blagajni-čarka Frances Zulich, zapisnika-rica Theresa Gorjanc; nadzorniki John Zaman, Mary Erjavec in Vinko Starman. Seje tega odbora in društvenih zastopnikov se bodo vršile vsako drugo in zadnjo soboto v mesecu. Vsi zastopniki pa ste prošeni, da se točno udeležujete teh sej. Ob enem pa tudi apeliram na vse starše, ki imate svoje sinove ali hčere v ameriški bojni sili, da sporočite imena istih pri svojem društvenem tajniku ali pa pri tajniku SDD. Pomnite, da le, če bomo skupno sodelovali, nam bo uspeh zagotovljen, kar ba v ponos ne samo našim sinovom in hčeram, temveč celotni naselbini. Z bratskim pozdravom, Geo. Panchur, predsednik. --o- Cenjene farane naše fare se tem potom opozarja, da bi čimprej vrnili odrezke in denar za "delnice," ki ste jih v zadnjem času prejeli od društva Najsvetejšega Imena. Dan prireditve se naglo približuje, kajti prireditev se bo vršila že v nedeljo 22. aprila. Zato ste vsi farani prošeni, da oddaste odrezke in denar če le mogoče že jutri, v nedeljo 15. aprila, v naši cerkvi pri glavnih vratih, da se bo lažje vse pravočasno uredilo, saj veste, da tudi pri nas manjka delavcev, ker je eden bplj zaposlen kot drugi. Upamo in priporočamo našimv faranom, da bi bili.tudi letos tako velikodušni kot ste bili vselej v preteklosti, saj delujemo vsi skupaj le za dobrobit naše fare in odplačilo dolga.

V počast slovenskim vojakom v ameriški armadi V širni cevelandski metropoli se danes nahaja mnogo častnih plošč (Honor Roll), na katerih se blišči j o imena fantov, mož, žena in deklet, ki služijo v ameriški bojni sili. Zadnje čase je v tem pogledu že kar nastala nekaka tekma med raznimi skupinami, kdo bo postavil lepšo in bolj popolno častno ploščo. Najprej so s tem delom pričeli naši narodni domovi, potem naše slovenske župnije, nakar so iste pričele izpostavljati tudi tovarne, danes jih pa še vidite skoro na vsaki ulici. Pri Tnnogih teh imenih so že zlate zvezde, kar pomeni, d;> je dotični že žrtvoval svoje Življenje za svobodo vseh narodov. Tudi v Slovenskem delavcem domu na Waterloo visi ena taka plošča, ki pa žal ni popolna, kci na njej niso označena vsa imena Zbirka za vojake v Euclidu v Metropolitan gledališču na Euclidu in 55. cesti bodo kazali , zanimivo filmsko sliko "Rainbow" (mavrica). Ko so Nemci zasedli Francijo in so se širile v svet razne vesti ob nemškem barbarizmu smo tudi Amerikanci simpatizirali s zasužnjenimi narodi in smo bili ob enem tudi veseli, da smo tako daleč od Nemčije. Danes pa, ko so naši fantje-vojaki na raznih frontah Evrope in mnogi ujetniki nacijev, pa nas ta poročila navdajajo- s strahom in skrbjo. "Rainbow" je filmska slika, ki kaže vso nemško podivjanost. V Metropolitan gledališču jo bodo kazali en teden pričenši danes 14. aprila. Ker vem, da se velika večina v naselbini zanima za ta sklad in ker sem izročila blagajno v druge roke, zato podajam malo poročila, da bodo tudi tisti, ki se ne udeležujejo sestankov vedeli, kako je z blagajno. Od zadnjega poročila so še darovali: Jas. Slapnik (cvetličar) $10.00; po $5.00: Mr. in Mrs. F. Stopar in John Kontz. Do sedaj je blagajne $1,-247.46. Prav lepa hvala vsem, kateri ste že do sed'aj darovali in se prosi še nadaljnih prispevkov. Odbor za' skupna društva pri domu za leto 1945 je sledeči: predsednik M. Intihar, podpredsednik F.

First of all, Father Vic, the Sodality girls are all very happy to know you are making a speedy recovery. Now the girls wish to report about the very nice thank you letters they have received from fellows in the service. This came, about for St. Valentine's day when names of service men were exchanged by the girls to send valentines. Thanks, fellows, for they make us feel that we are still doing our little bit. Soon again, fellows, St. Mary's Parish will be putting a little package in the mail for you. We'll let you know when they are off in the mail. Ah! here is something for everyone. Yep, a War Bond Drive. It's on its way. Sodality girls will be out with tickets for a $25 War Bond. Something everyone likes to have. So what do you say? You'll take a opportunity? Good! That's the »spirit^we like to see. One of the Sodality's coming events is already in progress. Our May Crowning, the time in May when we openly show our leve for our heavenly Mother. Our mothers share this day with us by 'going to Mass and Holy Communion. After Mass mothers and Sodalists will have breakfast together. S0 all you wonderful Moms, we are looking forward to having you with us on that beautiful day. A DEDICATION: Just call us a "little behind," but ■since "tempus fugits" and since the intention is as sincere as ever,, this column will be dedicated to Fr. Tome and Fr. Celesnik. We meant to cheer Fr. Vic while he was still in the hospital, but I suppose the nurses kept him contented, or was it vice versa? (No comments, pliz!) - Then there was Fr. Celesnik—he needed some cheering up too, and we • had opportunity plus to question him about his knee — opportunity knocks but once, but we'll do it anyway. That could not go by undone! We were all in a dither, 'Cause we knew That Fr. Vic broke A rib or two. Even in bed he got the gong, 'Cause he whistled at nurses All day long ...??? Fr. Clialo was not too sick His knee was bad, But it healed right quick. And Fr. Chalo sought to please AlthougTi he could not bed his knees. Seriousiy, though, everyone in the Parish seemed to be downhearted to no end at all about the accident. We are very grateful now, however, that most everything is coming along quite fine. The atmosphere around church i ust wasn't the same, especially with Fr. Vic being in the hospital. We are all hoping that he'll be .with us again —as chipper as ever. We'll be seeing you.

BASEBALL Roger Peckinpaugh, vice president of the Indians, was back from a visit to the Detroit Tigers' training camp in Terre Haute where he discussed a possible trade with jack Zeller of the Tigers. Peck said he had wasted his time. "I thought," Peckinpaugh explained, "that they wanted to offer me first-string players in exchange for Jeff Heath. All they talked about were bush leaguers." Manager Lou Boudreau, hitherto reluctant about predicting where the Indians would finish in the pennant race, today forecast a first division spot for his hirelings. Boudreau still is undecided about the No. 1 candidate for (a) catch; (b) third base, and (c) rjgfit field. Competing for the positions are Jim McDonnell, whom Boudreau recently named as his first-string catcher; Henry (Hank) Ruszkowski, the competent Cleveland youngster who spent last summer at the Indians' Class A farm in Wilkes-Barre, Pa.; Bob Roth-el, the brush-haired 21-year-old from Columbia Station, and Roy Cull'en-bine, the veteran outfielder remodeled into a third baseman; Ed Carnett of Oklahoma City and the Chicago White Sox, and Paul O'Dea of Cleveland's sandlots. "Those three spots are question marks," said Boudreau. "I h«pe that in our remaining exhibition games I will be able to make up my mind." The young pilot reiterated his intention of using Jim Bagby, Allie Reynolds and Steve Gromek as the nucleus of his starting pitching staff. Red Embree, the brilliant rookie right-hander from Baltimore; Earl Henry, wiry southpaw from Wilkes-Barre and the veteran left-hander, A1 Smith, are the candidates for the other regular berths. Ed Kleiman will replace the absent Joe Heving as No. 1 relief man, with Paul Calvert and Hal Kleine also slated for rescue work. The Indians closed their stand at Indianapolis, then moved on to Mun-cie from where they will return home next Monday to rest for the league opener Tuesday against the White Sox in Cleveland Stadium. HOCKEY Cleveland's Barons captured their third American Hockey League title by defeating the Hershey Bears, 5 to 4, at Hershey Tuesday night, ending the final play-off series with a margin of four games to two. Tommy Burlington of the Barons broke the league record for total goals in the play-offs with his ninth and 10th. With this grand climax, the Barons closed the season with a brilliant record of having won the Western Division title, the league percentage championship, and the Calder Cup in the play-offs. Tommy Burlington, the Barona' phenomenal all-league center, and Left Wing Lou Trudel, the greatest goal getter in the history of the league, scored two goals apiece as the Barons at last broke the grip of the determined Bears. Tommy's 10-goal total for the play-offs set a new league record. The other Cleveland goal was by young Roy Kelly, completing his first pro year. Kelly, good almost anywhere, filled in at right wing on Cleveland's first line for injured Whitey Prokop, who played only briefly. Cleveland grabbed a two-goal lead in the first period, was knocked to the ropes in the second period as Hershey punched in two goals in 10 seconds, and then, with every man working to the last ounce of ability went on to win. ' Fred (Bun) Cook, the Barons' coach and the most popular pilot in the circuit, thus became the first coach to capture three titles in the 1 American League, formed in 1936. It was Bun's first championship for Cleveland, where he took hold in 1943 . His other two titles were for Provj- ' Testifying before the Senate Investigation Committee, Col.
