Crum, član skupnega britsko-ameriškega odbora, kateremu je bila poverjena študija problema židovskih beguncev v Evropi, je izrazil bojazen pred masnimi samomori Židov, če ne bo ta problem kmalu rešen. Crum. Frederick William, reprezentant Vfelike Britanije v odboru, in sodnik Simon H. Rif-kind lz New Yorka, svetovalec ameriške vojaške misije, in ruski Vojaški častnik so dospeli na Dunaj iz Čehoslovakije. Vsi so bili nekaj ur zadržani po čeških obmejnih stražnikih. Izjavili so, da zadržanje ni bila demonstracija sovražnosti s strani čehoslo-vaških avtoritet. Člani odbora so rekli, do je dr. Edvard Beneš, predsednik Čehoslovakije, pokazal globoko razumevanje problema židovskih beguncev v Evropi. Dal je tudi zagotovilo, da bo čehoslo-vaška vlada storila vse, da se problem reši. Crum je dejal, da se nahaja čez 50.000 židovskih beguncev v ameriški okupacijski coni v Nemčiji. Ti so brez domovine. Crum je naglasil, da morajo ži-dje dobiti priliko za odhod v kraje, v katerih se žele naseliti. Akcija je potrebna iz vojaških in humanitarnih razlogov. Židovski bcgunci naj bi dobili zavetje v Palestini. Sodi se. da je v evropskih državah čez pol milijona židovskih beguncev.

AMERIKA MORA BITI SILA NA MORJU W V ZRAKU Forrestal priporoča gradnjo novih leta-lonoecev VAŽNA VLOGA BOJNE MORNARICE Waahlngton. D. C.. 26. febr.— Ameriška kontrola oceanov in ozračja je ključ narodne varnosti v bodočnosti, pravi merna-rični tajnik Forrastal v svojem letnem poročilu, katero je predložil predsedniku Trumanu. V tem dalje naglaša,, da mora letalska sila ostati hrbtenica bojne mornarice v mirnem času. Iz tega razloga naj kongres av-torizira gradnjo novih letalo-noscev, oklopnih ladij, križark in rušilcev. Bojna mornarica na Pacifiku in Atlantiku mora dobiti najmanj 30 letalonoscev. "Letalonosci so sprednja ost moderne bojne mornarice v istem smislu kot so bile oklopne ladje pred 25 leti." pravi For-rcstal v poročilu. "Kakor so i-mele oklopne ladje takrat po-rpožne enote v križarkah in ru-šilcih, mora bojna mornarica v moderni dobi imeti letalonosce." ' V obrisu vloge bojne mornarice v operacijah, ki so prispevale k porazu oslšča, Ferrestal pravi: "Vojna v Evropi je bila dobljena, ker so zavezniške mor narice uničile nemške podmornice in s tem omogočile invazijo Normandije. Filipinski otoki so Jbili ponovno osvojeni, ker je mornarioa omogoeUa okupacijo obrežij, dočim je letalska sila ščitila izkrcanje vojakov. Baze za bombnike tipa B-29 na Sai-panu in Tinianu je izvojevala mornarica. General Douglas MacArthur je lahko začel ope-j racije proti japonskim silam na Filipinih, ko sta mornarica in letalska sila utrli pot invaziji celine." Forrestal je v svojem poročilu razkril, da je bojna mornarica imela 39,700 bojnih letal, ko je Japonska kapitulirala. Ta so sestrelila v enajstih mesecih pred zaključenjem vojne čez 17,-000 japonskih boinotfkla veljavnost pogodbe med rudarsko unijo UMWA In operatorji, John L. I^ewis, predsednik UMWA, Je naznanil, da se bodo člani odbora za mezdne smernice sestali na konferenci v Washing tonu 11. marca. Lewis je že izjavil, da Ne ne strinja z novo Trumanovo formulo o mezdah in cenah Truman je zavrgel prejšnjo politiko stabilizacije in s tem omogočil zvišanje plač in cen Splošna stavka rudarjev na polju mehkega premoga bi bila v ekonomskem oziru večja nesreča za deželo kot je bila Jeklarska stavka Jeklarska in drugr industrije bi morale ustaviti obrat zaradi pomanjkanja premoga. Amerika bi morala ustaviti Izvoz premoga v evropske dfžaVe Po konferenci članov odbora za tne/Ane smernice se b*nio pridela pogajanja med rudarsko unijo in operatorji. Če ne bodo uspešna, bo oklicana stavka Glaailo rudarske unije United Mine Workers Jurnala je objavilo članek s trditvijo, da rudarji ne priznavajo Trumanove formule o mezdah in cenah. Ta dovoljuje zvišanje plače za 15 do odvisne osebe, starost sa tsnska pa nsj se znižs od 65 ns 60 lat. Prejemniki podpore ne bi smeli biti prfkrsjšani, sko bi delali, če ne bi zsslulek znsšsl več kot $30 na mesec." Raztegnitev sistems socialne zaščite je priporočal tudi R. T. Compton, reprezentant Zveze a-meriških tovarnarjev. Dejal Je, naj bi prispevki, ki snašajo en odstotek od delavca ln delodajalca, ostali v veljavi do 1. 1966 in potem zvišani na poldrugi odstotek. Compton ja omenil, da je sedaj v skladu socialne zaščite čez sedem milijard dolarjev, dočim letna Izplačila znašajo manj kot $300,000,000. Alimeyer Je predlagal takojšnjo zvišanie prispevkov na dva odstotka, |K>-zneje pa na sedem odstotkov. Muslimatpka država v Indiji Jinnah naznanil nadaljevanje kampanje Ksikuta. Indija, 26 febr.—Mohamed Ali Jinnah, predsednik Muslimanske lige, je dejal, da se bo kampanja za ustanovitev sepaisine muslimanske države v Indiji nadaljevala.

"Naša kampanja /a ustanovitev muali-manske države v Indiji mora biti zaključena z uspehom." Jinnah Je omenil volilni Izid v provinci Punjab, pri katerih je MuNllintuiMka liga zmagala. Njeni kandidati so dobili 90 sedežev v provinčnl zbornici. Jinnah Je dejal, da Je briuki imperializem dobil težak udarec v te provinci. 18 odstotkov, kakor tudi zvišanje cen, William Green, predsednik Ameriške delavske federacije, je deial, da so vodltplji unij Kon-gr«-*t mduauijakih organizacij pritiskali na Trumana sa uveljavi )enje nove formule o mezdah in cenah.

TAK JE MAŠ PROTEST Cleveland, Ohio.-V časopisih je bila že večkrat izražena su-gestija, da bi se poslalo nekega g. kaplana, največjega hujskača proti današnji Jugoslaviji, v Rim, kjer bi našel sebi enako družbo. Enake opazke je slišati tudi po društvenih sejah in kjer koli se zbirajo ljubitelji nove federativne in demokratične republike Jugoslavije. Da, zelo zaželjivo in priporočljivo bi bilo, da bi se res *am in prostovoljno odstranil iz sloven-•ke naselbine, kjer te je pri svojih katoličanih Že zelo zameril. Ali mar res pričakuje on in njemu enaki, da bomo verjeli njihovi lažnivi propagandi, mestr resnici naših staršev, bratov in sester, ki nam poročajo ravno obratno? Ne! Olas naših najdražjih nas je dosegel in nam povedal kako in kaj se je držalo in kaj si Izvolilo ljudstvo tamkaj. Preprosti in bogaboječi kmet nima tile lagati se in po-tvarjati resnice. Vse drugače je pa z zvitimi politikafti, ki li želijo imeti tudi v novi Jutfoala-viji prvo In zadnjo besedo. Toda videč, da je Igra zanje izgubljena in da se njihov vpliv nikoli ne povrne, tulijo kot obsedeni. Prosto vam. Ali viake muzike je enkrat konec, tako bo tudi vaše! Vprašamo vas tudi: Kdo drugi je bolj upravičen odločevati o političnem in gospodarskem ustroju države In o njeni bodočnosti kot to ljudstvo, ki ie Je borilo z nadčloveškim naporom ter stradalo In umiralo? In če oni zatrjujejo, da so si izvojeva-11 svobodo v pravem pomenu besede, Jim bomo mi to tudi verjeli. Oni doma, pa so in bodo sledili takim dušnim pastirjem, ki so bili ves čas vojne in «o tudi sedaj na domači zemlji in na strani ubogega in še vedno izmučenega ljudstva. Taki duhovniki so zanje in za nas zlata vredni. Ne bomo pa verjeli onim, ki •o vedrlll izven Jugoslavije na varnem In špekulirali kako hi zopet zapravili po ljudstvu težko Izvojevano svobodo. Da pa boste vedeli, da stojimo na strani Jugoslovanskega ljudstva, smo se članice društva Naprednih Slovenk št. 137 SNPJ zopet izrekle podpreti te trpine z gmotno pomočjo v vsoti $200 dolarjev! Vidite, taki protesti so najučinkovitejši, ti štejejo! Vse drugo Jezikovanje in prerekanje z vami ne more prinesti našim malčkom nobene utehe in pomoči. Ta bolna mladež potrebuje naših dolarjev. Me, kot matere, vse to razumemo, zato nam pamet in vest narekujeta, da jim pomagamo v vseh ozirih. Prosimo tudi druga društva in posameznike, da postopate po našem zgledu in po zgledu drugih pred nami in daste tudi vi zaušnico podobnim hujskačem s tem, da prispevate v ta najpomembnejši in najplemenitejši sklad za otroško bolnico.

"MICKI JE TREBA MOŽA" Cleveland, Ohio.—Tako pravi avtor narodne veseloigre Vinko Korže in dramski zbor Ivan Cankar je sprejel njegov ukaz na znanje ter preskrbel Micki moža, da bo ženitovanje že na pustno nedeljo, 3. marca v ŠND. Na tej svatbt bodo imeli besedo Vsi veseli ljudje, ki spadajo k Cankarjevi družini, a najbolj vesela bo pa Micka (Olga Marn), ker bo dobila moža, kakršnega ti je sama zaželela, pravega kranjskega Janeza (John Ceh). Pri pogledu nanj ji kar srce zaigra od radosti. In taka dva bosta znala premostiti vse ovire, katere jima stavi na pot njen oče Matevž Goričan (Rudy Widmar). Kakšnih sredstev in laži se bosta posluževala pri tem, se more videti le na lastne oči in slišati le na lastna ušesa. Lahko še dodam, da vsa alužinčad je na Mic-kini strani, posebno pa še dekla Urša (Josie Levstik). Že ta imena pričajo, da bodo vloge v dobrih rokah pod skrbno režijo Widmarjevo. Za temi pride pa še na vrsto veliko naših dobrih znancev kot: Ep-pich, Frank Kokal, Grmovi fantje, Frank Plut, Josephine Močnik, Frances lic, Joyce Gorshe, Katharine Jurman, Ivanka Shif-frer, Kati Bradač, Vera Germ, John Evatz in drugi. Kar je pa najbolj važno poročilo, je namen, za katerega bo podana ta izvrstna komedija. Na svoji seji je dramski zbor odločil, da bo izročil ves dobiček od te igre v sklad ali fond za gradnjo nove otroške bolnišnice v Jugoslaviji. Ta sklep je bil storjen kar na hitro, da ne bi v nobenem oziru zaostajali za dolgo povorko tistih, ki so že darovali ali pa še bodo v bližnji bodočnosti. Nobena naloga ne zahteva bolj nujne rešitve kot ta, da pomagamo jugoslovanskim otrokom do zdravja. Preko osem sto tisoč sirot je brez staršev. Njim e neznana materina ljubezen. Nihče jih še ni negoval, kaj še jim nudtl za zdravje in rast potrebne hrane, ker je ni. Od vsepovsod preži nanje le groza, glad in mraz. Mi, ml edini smo poklicani« da rešimo trpljenja te nedolžne trpine. Da naši ljudje to stajišče razumejo, je dejstvo, da je ta sklad narastel že na 34,000 dolarjev. Zato naj v nedeljo popoldne vodi pot vsakega zavednega Slovenca v Slovenski narodni dom, kjer bo prisostvoval zelo zabav*, ni igri "Micki je treba moža" in ppdpil akcijo za zgradnjo otroške bolnišnice. Pričetek igre bo ob pol štirih popoldne. Vstopnina k igri je 75 centov. Za ples zvečer igra Johny Peconov orkester. Na gotovo svidenje na pustno nedeljo v SND. Tončka Slmčlč. tajnica.

Pogreb se je vršil pod vodstvom Augusta Svetka dne 20. februarja na pokopališče Highland Park po civilnem obredu. V imenu društva V boj 53 SNPJ izrekam naše sožalje sorodnikom pokojnika, njemu pa blag opomin! Pokojnik je bil delničar Slovenskega delavskega doma in nekdaj uposlen v klubo-vih prostorih.

Ker pa so večinoma skrbi za nami in prav tako vojna, je tukajšnji slovenski ženski klub sklepil, da priredi domačo predpugtno zabavo. Stara slovenska navada je, da predpust brezskrbno in z veseljem obhajamo. Za to bomo imeli priliko 2. marca na veselici ženskega kluba. Članice kluba bodo poskrbele za dobro postrežbo in tudi kranjskih klobas ne bo manjkalo. Fritz Rozina pa nam bo igral na harmoniko. Seveda, suhih grl ne maramo, zato bo tudi zanje preskrbljeno. V imenu ženskega kluba vabim vse tukajšnje Slovence, da nas obiščite na predpustno soboto, 2. marca; pričetek ob pol o-smih »zvečer v prostorih dobro poznanega Antona Kovačiča. Ženske se vam že naprej zahvaljujejo 1a poset. Za slovenski ženski klub: Joeephine Jenko.

AKTIVNOSTI NOVE PODRUŽNICE SANSa Detroit, Mich*—Seja podružnice 108 SANSa se bo vršila v nedeljo, 3. marca, pričetek ob pol treh popoldne v Slovenskem delavskem domu na Livernois. Razpravljali bomo o našem bodočem delu, katerega smo si za črtali na februarski seji, ter pod vzeli vse potrebno za shod, ki se bo vršil 24. marca 1948. Za glavnega govornika smo povabili dr. Slavka Zoreta. Drugo pri redbo pa bomo imeli na velikonočno nedeljo, 21. aprila, na ka terl bomo slavili vstajenje in o-svobojenje naše stare domovine po petletnem krvolitju. Zaključili smo Judi, da bomo imeli priredbe v poletnem času in prostor za dva piknika je že izbran. Prvi piknik se bo vršil 30. maja, drugi pa 21. julija na prostoru 15^ mile in Livernois. Pikniki se naj bi vršili skupno s postojanko 1 SANSa. ako. so o-nl zadovoljni s tem zaključkom. Torej, ako bomo skupno delovali, bomo lahko dosti koristili naši porušeni stari domovini in za-eno tudi na našem društvenem polju. Že sedaj se kažejo rezultati našega skupnega dela in pri naših društvih in Slovenskem delavskem domu je postalo vse bolj živahno. V združenju je moč! Naši heroji v stari domovini so dokazali moč v združenju, zato bi morali tudi mi to geslo izvajati med seboj in bi bili v vseh ozirih toliko bolj uspešni! Na priporočilo dr. Neubauerja je eksekutiva SANSa zaključila, da bodo šli od sodaj naprej vsi prispevki ameriških Slovencev v sklad za mladinfko bolnišnico v Sloveniji. Po mojem prepričanju, ne bi bil nič trd oreh zbrati milijon dolarjev v ta namen, ako bi nt' resno zavzeli. Ako bi prispevali povprečno vsak po $5, pa bi imeli skupaj to vsoto. Naj omenim, da smo izgubili dva člana pri naši podružnici. Prva Je umrla žena dobro poznanega Mike Tratarja, ki zapušča šest hčera in petletnega sinčka. kateri Je tudi naš častni Član, mogoče ie najmlajši v organizaciji SANS.

III. — Clan! in članice podružnice 25 SANS« so opozarjani na redrw sejo, ki se bo vršila v petek, 1, marca, pričetek ob osmih zvočer. ker bomo sklepsli o bodočem delu podružnice 7.a pomoč stari domovini, Seje naše podružnice so važne, zato želimo, da se jih članstvo redno udeleieva, k<*r le v skupnem delu nam bo mogoče vršiti naloge, ki so pre Zdravnika sem vprašal, ako bi operacija pomagala, on pa mi je odgovoril, da za to bolezen ni operacije in mi razložil, kaj bo vse potrebno za ozdravitev. "Seveda, trpel bos še precej časa, predno te ustanovimo," je dodal. Dne 16. februarja pa sem prejel prvo pismo od mojega bratranca iz stare domovine. Pisano je bilo 27. decembra in ko sem na naslovu videl, da me je naslovil s tovarišem, sem takoj znal, da je bil na partizanski strani. Piše s* Filip Brezovar iz Podlipoglava, fara Sostro, ampak on živi že veliko let v Sostrem, to je blizu Device Marije v Polju, ali blizu Vevč, kjer so papirnice. Piše, da je vas, Podlipoglav vsa požgana in v hribih pri Do-brunjah je polno grobov. Zanj nisem vedel, ali je živ ali ne, zato sem mu pisal kratko pismo že pred £asom. Ne naravnost, ampak bolj po ovinkih sem ga vprašal na kateri strani je bil. Na vprašanje mi je odgovoril, da je bil pri "rdečih partizanih, ker sem vedno veroval, da mora delavski pokret priti do pravice." Dalje piše: "Sedaj ni gospodov v tovarnah, sedaj smo vsi tovariši." Bratranec mi piše še druge stvari, kako so pridrveli Italijani v 80 avtomobilih in zažgali V8s Podlipoglav in njegovo rojstno h'šo. "Jože. ako bi bil iz železa, bi se moral razjokati ob italijanskim in nemškim početju, naši belogardisti so jim pa pomagali." Sostro, ki je lepa vas, ne o-menja, da je razdejano. Pisal sem mu, kaj želi, da bi mu poslal, seveda, ako je bil na pravi strani, kajti če ni bil pri "ta belih," mu ne bi ničesar poslal. Ampak on ne prosi ničesar. Ima dva sinova, enega pri vojakih, drugi pa je doma z zlomljeno nogo. Piše tudi, da so potrebni prejeli pošiljatve iz Amerike, posebno obleko, katere se tam ne more dobiti. Veseli me, da je moj bratrancc razredno zaveden, kajt* on je moj edini sorodnik po moji materi. Dne 21. februarja pa je gra-duiral za poročnika v Fort Ben-ningu, Ga., moj sin Fred. Seveda, nisem militarist, prav tako ne moj sin, toda bil je vpoklican k vojakom. Imel je eno leto študija v inženirski šoli, a je moral šolo pustiti in iti k vojakom. Ampak če je prilika, zakaj naj bi bil prostak? Fant je mlad, star 19 let, ravan kot sveča in močan kot atlet. On je dvojček moje hčerke Fride. katera je preminila po dolgi bolezni meseca februarja 1&43 v starosti 16 let. Drugi sin pa bo graduiral z univerze Minnesote in Minneapolis mornariške šole kot ensign ali mornariški poročnik in sicer 23. februarja. Tako bomo imeli v družini tri poročnike, dva sinova in hčerke Margaret, katera le bolničarka v Crile General Hospitalu že skoro leto dni s činom poročnice. Torej mesec februar je res zelo važen, za našo družino, čeprav je tako kratek po dneh. Za priredbo društva 13 SNPJ, ki se bo vršilaTml^T^ kateri bodo predvajam iZ ** Jugoslavije, se do^ftjj ljamo.

VESELICA DRUŠTVA ŠT. 158 SNPJ EuclkL O. — Minilo je že p* let odkar ni imelo naše društvo nobene priredbe. In če p,Jmislj. mo, da smo med tem časom fj. nančno podpirali vse koristne! narodne ustanove, tedaj ni čudno, da se ie naša blagajna pre. cej posušila. Društvo "Zavedni sosedje" nima svojega imena samo za parado, temveč je tudi dejansko zavedno. Za SANS prispeva vsako leto večjo vsoto. Smo člani Prosvetne matice, farme SNPJ in federacije društev SNPJ. Dalje podpiramo! finančno Slov. društveni dom, kot tudi vsa kulturna društva v! naselbini. Ker je torej treba ojačiti blagajno, smo sklenili, da v ta na-j men priredimo veliko plesno veselico v nedeljo, 3. marca, pri-četek ob 7:30 zvečer v Slovenskem društvenem domu nil Recher ave., Euclid, O. Za ples, bo igral znan in popularen Ku-! šarjev orkester. In kdor se je že kdaj vrtil po njegovih zvokih, ta ne bo zamudil te prilike. Naše društvo posluje že 35 let, kar znači, da je med pionirji v euelidski naselbini. Zato naj se smatra ta veselica kot 35-letnici tega agilnega društva. Vabljeni so vsi "oldtajmerji" kot tudi mladi člani, katerih je po zaslugi tajnika J. Ivančiča zelo veliko število. Precej je tudi bivših pohabljenih vojakov, katerim je diuštvo gmotno priskočilo m pomoč. Seveda vabimo tudi flane ostalih društev SNPJ, kot tudi splošno občinstvo. Zavida j mo se gesla, da roka roko umije. Frank Česen. SMRT ČLANA Kellog. Idaho. — Društva 657 SNPJ je izgubilo po kratki in mučni bolezni influenci brata m dobrega člana Antona Stralovi-ča.

On that date the total assets of the SNPJ were $12,189,683.21, an increase of $579,847.37 since June 30, 1945. In the first half of last year the increase was $267,333.69. This increase in assets is conclusive proof of our Society's stability, soundness and strength. The assets of our Society constitute an exhibit of its ability to fulfill its outstanding obligations as promptly as they may arise. Turning to our membership, we note that on Dec. 31, 1945, there were a total of 66,428 members in both departments, or 619 more than at the beginning of the year. Of the total, 48,582 were adult and 17.846 juvenile members. The inorease was mainly in the adult department, while the juvenile department registered a slight decrease because of transfers. It cannot be too strongly emphasized that our juvenile department needs constant replenishing of its ranks due to normal transfers. The strength of this department must be preserved, for it is from this source that the adult department draws its reinforcement. The current jubilee campaign offers a splendid opportunity to all lodges to add a considerable number of new members to their rosters, especially new juvenile members. * * * CHEERFUL AS THE ABOVE figures pertaining to our Society's growth and progress are, there is the other side of the ledger. Official reports show that in 1945 a total of 593 members in both departments died, of which number 19 were juveniles. In 1945, a total of 82 soldier-members fell on various battle fronts, bringing the total since the beginning of the war to 180. The concluding war year exacted the greatest number of our soldiers' lives, with the year of 1944 a close second, or 71; In 1943, 22 soldier-members fell, and in 1942, five. At this time, our thoughts go to those who gave their lives in the service and our sincere sympathy to the bereaved families. In 1945 there Was a total of nearly 1000 operations/ or 984, to be exact, which is 137 more than the previous year. The largest amount paid out in various benefits was that paid in death claims, which was $411,000, with sick benefits of $169,299.73 being next highest. Although the reports do not specify it, it is well-known that the industrial front exacted a considerable number of lives of our members. The industrial front continues to be the most dangerous, with the exception, perhaps, of heart disease and cancer.__.t _ '_ As already stated, the number of operations In 1945 was one of the highest on record, and disability claims cost the Society a total of $41,876. * * * OUR SOCIETY HAS ALWAYS been known as a champion of the under-dog and has always extended its helping hand to those who needed assistance. Consonant with its principles, the Society recently gave $10,000 from its special benefit fund for the erection of a children's hospital in Slovenia, not forgetting the strikers and various worthy public institutions. On the j^aisewOrthy suggestion of the district vice presidents, the Society established a strikers' fund by contributing $5,000 towards that end, of which sum $2,000 will go for the auto strikers and $2,000 for steel strikers. At the same time it has appealed to its local lodges and members to contribute to'this fund. This year Prosveta daily will mark its 30th anniversary and on this occasion an anniversary number will be published coupled with a drive for new subscribers. All the details pertaining to the decisions of the Supreme Board will be published in the official minutes in the near future. Of considerable interest is the depision to hold district con-fetences of lodge secretaries and other officers as well as leading circle members and managers. These will be held next year, as this year, the 13th regular convention scheduled for August will take considerable time and energy In preparation for its success. iadgerland News MILWAUKEE, WlS.-JJstes to re member: March 2—Club Ljubno will hold a masquerade ball on this date at the Harmony Hall, 930 S. 6th St. All proceeds of this a/fair will go towards relieving the sufferings of the peopje in Europe.

Joe Glaven was next in line with his 557 series. Some of the boys had a little trouble finding the head pin. After some very good scores recently, Louis Glavan had one of those nights when he smacked a weak 458 set. Josephine Smanz led the girls tvith her 497 set. Mary Remic with 474 and Albina Debelak with 470 rounded out the respectable scores. Ann Paulin had her share of woes as her evening score reeled into a faint 39. Keep in there pitching, Ann, you will win that honor roll yet. Clara Medved came thru with two honor scores for the week. In the Hank Marlnos Loop she smacked a good total of 517, and in Women's Classic League of Milwaukee she hit the final total of 524. In the Remic Social, Matty Graf was high with his nice 585 series. From there the scores really took s dip, as Slim Sedmak's 536 was next in line. Tony Spruck and Eddie Ambroslvboth hit 600 to round out the respectable scores. With new pins up the exclusive 400 set were very prominent. Vic Kouchich was the doggie with his contribution of 428. We have some flying-minded Badgers in our midst fieard that Josephine Smanz, Tony and John Obluck boarded a plane Friday night to Muskegon, Mich., to attend Uielr sister's wedding, a former Badger, Miss Frances Gradishcr, who became the bride of Mr. James Shultz of Muskegon, Saturday morning.

IND.—We had a much larger attendance at our last regular monthly meeting. This allows for better conducted meetings. There are still quite a few vacant seats around, though, that can stand for a little occupation. In order not to be caught in any last-minute rush in regard to the bowling trip, we are holding a special meeting on Sunday, March 3, at 2 p. m. at the SNH. All bowlers are especially urged to attend. There are still some, who have not attended any of the meetings or parties that were held for their benefit Give us a break and drop around for this special meeting. Space doesn't permit me to go into detail about our plans for the trip, Besides that, many of you may have questions that would receive better attention if they are considered first hand. So how about every one trying to attend this special meeting. Let's make the trip to Cleveland a real and enjoyable one, for all of us. N FRANK KRAFF15L, 575. Victorian News CHICAGO.—All members of the Victorian Lodge No. 632 should make an extra effort to attend our next meeting to be held at Gratch-ner's Hall (formerly Berger's) on March 7. This is our last meeting before our Spring Dance and there still are a lot of preparations to be taken care of if we want our dance to be a success. The meeting will be short and a "little surprise" is planned for after the meeting. Let's have a good turnout at this meeting. Don't forget to sell those tickets and drawing tickets.

So, come one and all, for a good time at our dance. * Our monthly lodge meetings are held on the 3rd Sunday of each month at 9 a. m. In the Slovenian National Home, Room 2, at 65th and St. Clair. I would like to take this opportunity to invite all our young er members to attend these meetings. If a sufficient number of younger members show enough in terust to attend these meetings, they will then be conducted in English. We of the younger generation must realize that our parents have born the burden of organizing and establishing our lodges for our benefit as well as their own. Now that they are getting older and do not have the energy and pep of thHr own youth, it is up to us to put' our shoulders to the wheel, our hearts and energy into the building of a better and bigger SNPJ. So, to use an old Army expression. "Let's get on the ball." all of you young men ai*d women who belong to our lodgs. LOUIS SMRDEL, Pres NOTATIONS By Frances L.

He's the lad who visited Marine Philip Langerholc's grave many times and also sent pictures of same. Lodge 82 (Triglav) has been fortunate in that none of their many servicemen were casualties. Lodge Keeler. Flood City 712 has been les* fortu-nate, inasmuch as two of their members lost their lives, both in the Pacific. Perhaps there are few lodges, if any, that have loat more men in proportion to their membership as did Flood City. Which all leads us up to the sad news that— Lt. Frank Mavri has been declared dead. Missing since Aug. 7. 1st Lt Frank H. Mavri, of Windber. has been officially declared dead by the War Department. Ha was tht- pilot of a B-25 bomber which failed to return to its base on Okinawa from a mission over Kyushu. The plane is believed to have been shot down by anti-aircraft fire. He was lost less than a week before the Japanese surrendered. Lt. Mavri held the DFC and the Air Medal with the infantry before being transferred to the Army Air Forces. He was commissioned Auk 31, 1943, and went overseas several months later. He served in the Gilbert, Marshall, and Caroline Islands prior to the capture of Okinawa. Lt. Mavri is survived by his mother and five sisters. His father died a short time after his son was reported missing. Frank was an active athlete in the Flood City Lodge, Johnstown, Pa., and he'll be missed by all. To his family we extend our heartfelt sympathies. ^vV ■■,..■ . >>vv—• •■'■.------- — ALLAROUND—Last week wi failed to give due recognition to Marilyn Reven and Jo Ann Rak, our active juveniles, for they are the ones that made the valentine hearts which were used in the distribution of grab-bag gifts at Pioneer Feb. meeting.

The orchestra is none other than Frank Zajc's of Cleveland who always makes such a big hit In Sharon or wherever he is booked. From long experience with the Keystoners dances I can say that the success of a dance depends on who is sponsoring it. When asking people to come to the dsnce this certain date, the first thing they ask is, "Who is holding it?" When I mention that it's the SNPJ. Keystoners or the Circle, the an-' swer Is, "Sure we'll come!" and they do come. They know that we are working for a bigger and better SNPJ and they also know that we give them that good ole Key-stoner hospitality. So, see you all at the dance Sunday. Remember, the dance will start at A:30, instead of 9, and will last lift 12. Come early! This win be tne last dance before Easter. Then follow the Easter parade to Slovene Dom and attend the Juvenile Circle dance, with music by Stan Novak's popular orchestra. Joe Umick of Girard will be here the first Sunday after Easter, on April 28. to play for our dance. If you want to see some excitement, attend some of our Circle's basketball games which take place every Wednesday evening ftytm 6 V> 10 p. m. It's really fun.

February Meeting CLEVELAND, Ohio —Despite the fact that cards were not sent out and the weather very miserable, a fine crowd showed up. It looks like the entertainment committee will have to start to provide refreshments as in the past, if the meeting crowds grow much larger. March 23rd dance—Pauline Spik has lined up most of the workers for this affair. Others interested should contact her. Here are some of the things discussed and decided upon. Dt. Angel-irte O'Donnell was selected as an additional physician for the lodge. Mollie Koren commented on athletics, mentioning the forthcoming national SNPJ bowling tournament, after which a motion was passed that the lodge pay the girl and boy team entry fees. Men bowlers interested should contact Joe Prijatel at his Radio repair store, E. 66th and Bliss. Trie girls should line up with Mollie. She also brought up the fact that the girl teams were entered in the city tournament and moved their fees be paid, which was done. Ten tickets for the SNPJ Juvenile Singing Chorus affair Feb. 24 were purchased and distributed to those present. Secretary's report for 1944 was read and accepted. A gain in adult and juvenile membership was reported, also a net financial increase. Applications for reinstatement into sick benefit were passed for Victor Vehar, Jackie Ve-har and John Kerns. New membership applications for Molly Mos-nik, Dorothy Mosnik, Josephine Mu-kavetz and Tony Jelenic were accepted. Frank Ross and Mrs. Charley Tushar were proposed as possible members. Commenting on the need of young blood participating in affairs of the Norwood Community Council, brought about the election pf Joe Zorman and Tony Kerze as lodge representatives. Meetings of the council are held last Thursday of the month. Notice will shortly be sent calling attention to a meeting for the complete rezoning of the St. Clair area around our negihborhood. Sick reports for Joe Zalokar and Louis Shuber, both of them now okay, passed for payment. Childbirth report for Mary Louise Kremzar approved.

A change in the entry fee was made f/om $2 to $1.75 due to an Athletic Board ruling which does not allow a higher fee than $1.75 per event. Deadline for the entries has also been set beck to March 29. A report from Chicago via R.

We msy also have an Ohio SNPJ Day A financial report from Sec'y M. Stefanic was very favorable, J. Fifoit reported that Cleveland has lost its district representative to a gentleman from Detroit. The voting had been very cloae and our own nominee lost by a single vote, 15-14. Since an increase ih activities Is expected, there may be a re-districting or the area, thus giving more states an opportunity to have their own representatives. The men bcrs present felt that this was for the good of the organization. A'-nes Jcric, who was appointed •o har.rMc the re ervation for Carter Hote!, informed us that we will have ICO loub'e rooms available to the n* ac' (ng bowlers, and if necessary even more, provided the reserva-liens ate made with the hotel by April 1st.

Stefanic promise to have these forms in the mail by the end of the week. Tournament headquarters will be in a private room at Hotel Carter. Souvenirs for the bowlers were discussed and a motion was made and approved to ask the Main Office for a suitable souvenir to advertise the SNPJ in conjunction with the nattom.1 bowling tourna-nent. Perhaps a key-chain with a xjwling pin would make a nice ,'ouvenir? We are certain the Muin Office can sire the advantage in offering this souvenir.

Science Museum Shows "Microworld" Daily The Museum of Science-and In-dustiy and the University of Chicago have cooperated in the planning of a new. exhibit—Microworld —which opened at the Museum Jan. 18. Demonstrations are given at 3 p. m. daily, except Saturdays. Microworld is a theater performance, In which tiny, living plants and animals are magnified hundreds of Limes and projected on a screen. Among the unrehearsed actors perhaps the most startling to the laymgn is a two-headed worm which haa been produced these past weeks in the Museum laboratory. The flatworm has the power of regeneration and, when cut into two pieces, each will reconstitute itself to become a complete individual. How these worrrs are made to ord'?r with more than one head is explained by the demonstrator. The hydra is a marvelous performer—extending and withdrawing finger-like tentacles and bending from side to side on the base that holds it stationaVy while it gathers in its food. Visitors have the opportunity of seeing a hydra capturing daphnia. When you eat salad with old-fashioned vinegar diessing, you may not know you are eating tiny worms that live in the "mother." Micro-world shows them to you and makes you wonder whether you should go right out and become a boeater for the pasteurized and synthetic varieties of vinegar Interesting among the microacopic animals ia the Paramecium, which is a star performer in Microworld. It carriea on all the bodily functions of any animal—locomotion, reapira-tlon. digestion, reproduction, etc.— but ita entire complex machinery is confined to one cell and is included within a tiny droplet of protoplssm. All the performers in this thrilling show are living organisms, most of them invisible to the naked eye Thry Must Fortune Teller— You" have the gift of oratory. When you speak I should imagine people I tate n openmouthed Client—That a right I'm a dentist TO THE CRITICS OF NEW YUGOSLAVIA By ANTON GARDEN (Concluded from last week.) In all the original sources I have read from try native Slovenia—Tito's and Kardelj's brilliant speeches; the papers and stories and poemr of the Liberation Front and its epic struggle; plus an avalanche of letters from simple folks there to simple folks here; plus personal conversation with some leading Partisans—in all this I have not detected a single note which would give me en apprehension that a Stalinist dictatorship is being foisted on Yugoslavia. On the contrary I am quite hopeful about their new peoples democracy. It is true, however, their concepts of democracy, freedom of the press and the so-called "free enterprise" are somewhat different from those now dominant in the western world, including our America. They seem to believe, those Yugoslavs do, in the government of, for and by the people, both in the Lincolnian and Marxian senses. While they don't exclude private enterprise from their new scheme of things, the great preponderance of the industrial and finance capital is now a public property for the reasons stated by Angelo Cerkve-nik. In Slovenia, the most highly industrialized part of Yugoslavia, for example, 90% of all industry is now in public hands; also all the banks and insurance companies; likewise great forest lands as the ifcsult of the agrarian reform or confiscation from those capitalist exploiters who thought they could de—and did—business with Hitler or Mussolini or both. These elements lost everything; those who did not flee to Halt, generally lost their heads also. No temporizing by those Partisan Yugoslavs who had gone through hell since the in vasionl ' In their new scheme of things they also put great emphasis on the Rochdale type of coop economy which will indubitably flourish in the new Yugoslavia, since the government is definitely and energetically promoting it. They call this structure the foundation of their peoples democracy. According to Tito, who unquestionably is the man of the hour in the Balkans, "political democracy with-otft social and economic content is not enough." They go heavily, those ignorant, deluded and primitive Balkanites of Tito's hell, for political democracy WITH social and economic content. That is one, perhaps the basic, reason for all the stories about the horrible dictatorship und police terror. Facts? Who cares about facts! To safeguard this new structure of their peoples democracy with so (Continued from pi«, 7» they are in pretty good shape. The girls may be in need of a little practice before the tournament, but we all will be there to join in the fun. The Loyalites have three people on their sick list: Helen Fortuna, Kay Bosich, Frank Kravos. We hope-all three of them are on the road to recovery by now. The Loyalites have made arrangements to have a memorial in September for Stanley Rossa who wa« killed in action. We're planning to attend the Barberton Buckeye Dance on April 20 even though it is the night before the Loyalite Easter Dance but we're sure that two big dances such as these cannot bi missed. We heard that the Detroit Wolverines will be holding a dance on April 6 and who knows Cleveland may be there in full force. Several carloads of Cleveland«;« spent a very enjoyable weekend in Detroit this month. Those who were there were Rosemary and Al4 Raines, Blondie Fadel, Norman Degner, Pete James, Morris Debenak, Red Zaman, Tony Kastelic and yours truly. Need we say that it was swell seeing once again those familiar Detroit faces. Talking about Detroit, the four Young American bachelors were on the loose in Cleveland this weekend in hunt of, as they said, for four bachelorettes. The bachelors, Lefty Hostnik, Joe Briccly, Rudy Grum, and Frank Hribar spent the weekend in Cleveland. Cleveland i^^igigffiS TO-aajr^s; people in Yugoslavia, as well outside, who do not like these £ rangements, this type of peoples d* mocracy.

Unhappy about the new arrange-menU is also the opposition of Grol-Subasich type Which favors the bourgeois type of democracy w. eluding the yellow press. This ele-ment, too, has been snowed under as one of the consequences of the ineonrparable epic struggle of the Yugoslav masses under Tito's leadership for their own liberation, for a new Yugoslavia and a better world. Loyalites Newt government of, for and by the peo pie, those realistic Partisans and Russophiles don't believe in our type of the so-called freedom of the press either. From my conversation with some leading Partisans I could say they don't believe that anyone with enough millions should have the privilege of starting his own paper or magazine for his own ends, be they his own profits or political power or both. They don't believe, those Balkanized Partisans of whatever political or religious pcrsuation, if any, in the yellow or personalized press, Americans could have it if they are so inclined. But in the new Yugoslavia a Hearst, for example, would find no opportunity for his malevolent business and journalistic proclivities to "enlighten" the people. For that matter, nor could Marshall Field with all his millions. It's terrible, really! In the new Yugoslavia where they have gone through a veritable hell, infinitely more real, if not greater, than Dante's Inferno, they believe in what they euphonistical-ly call a "responsible press." According to their own notions of peoples democracy with social and economic content, a press could only be free and responsible, in the service of the people and the nation, if published by none-profit organizations. be they political parties (yes, even the opposition—if it can get the newsprint), trade unions, cooperatives. cultural, religious, etc. As to the latter, it muat, however, confine itself to religious and cultural matters and not to politics, as in the past. This because they don't want to see the repetition of the old "democracy'' under which it was impossible to see or sav where the State ends and the Church begins (both corrupt to the bone), or vice versa. The high Church dignitaries who in majority of the cases went along with Hitler and Muesolini and their Yugoslav lay quislings don't like this All this further explains the devious reasons for the current propaganda againat the Tito regime in the American press and radio whero the omnipotent Vatican has great friends However, those clergymen who sided with Partiaana and the people in the great liberation struggle seem to be quite satisfied In fact some of then . as Fathers Mikus and Finigar in Slovenia, are among the greatest proponents of this con eept of religious and press freedom. They are four square for the Church going out of politics But not the Old Guard of the incorrigible«, especially of the Catholic persuasion to whom religion is big buaineaa and who uaed to be the state, or at least its most important pillar Needless to say. there are other Detroit fellows. What puzzles this writer is how the four bachelors happened to get rooms at a hotel which is a college girls' dormitory. Nice going, Lefty, Rudy, Joe and Frank. It seems that the Wolverines and Young Americans may get together to hold an invitational tournament this month. We'll be looking forward to it. We slipped on sending congratulations via this column to Patsy Krall who got married recently-After spending several years in the South Pacific, Patsy is very much the happy married man now. We were glad to see Shorty Zadell's column in the paper last week. Keep it up, Shorty, and let's see it again now that you have broken the ice. The Loyalites are really getting those new members. Two more that will shortly be in our lodge are Irene Roasa and Marilyn Zadeli Welcome to the Loyalites, Irene «nd Marilyn. Cleveland will soon have another popular night club. It is the former Metropole on St. Clair and E 55th which we hear is now the joint property of Frank Yankovich, Johnny Pecon and two other well-known Slovenes. Loyalites. don't forget, wt meet each second Monday of the month and all the members are urged to attend. The attendance at the meet* ings this year has really been wont dcrful.
