I 2- strani) L | AMERIŠKI REPORTER MED PARTIZANI Na tem mestu nadaljujemo s poročilom Daniela De Lucea, prvega ameriškega reporterja, ki se je upal podati v od Nemcev zasedeno Jugoslavija po njenem zlomu, da se na lastne oči in iz podatkov domačinov prepriča o tamkajšnji situaciji: Ognjeviti mladi jugoslovanski patrijoti, z doma narejenimi rdečimi zvezdami na svojih čepicah, vodijo danes desperat-no osvobodilno borbo od skalnate jadranske obale pa do zelenih bregov Donave proti neizmerno močnejši koncentraciji nemških oklopnih sil. Odkar je padla Italija, je Jugoslovanska partizanska armada narastla v deset tisočih. Partizanski poveljniki so skoro s samo drznostjo izvojevali pomembne začasne zmage in vzdržali navzlic težkim porazom. Kakor je Nemcem dobro znano, se partizani danes borijo, ne da bi imeli en sam tank ali samo eno letalo. Stotnije, oborožene samo s puškami in strojnicami, vodijo veterani, ki se skozi zadnjih 29 mesecev odlikujejo v načinu vojskovanja, ki ga imenujejo “gozdno vojsko.” Vrhovni poveljnik na široko razpredene partizanske armade je čaščena osebnost, Icsip Broz, ki je znan kot “drug Tito.” (K temu korespondent pripominja, da “drug” v srbo-hrvatskem jeziku pomeni isto kot angleška beseda “camerad”, in da je,Tito nenavadno ime med južnimi Slovani, sreča pa se ga cesto v Italiji.) Drug Tito, o katerem se govori, da je veteran republikanske armade v španski civilni vojni, je zvaril svoje gerilske bojevnike v strogo iisciplinira-no in goreče idealistično silo, ki očitno kaže več navdušene odločnosti kot katera koli bojevniška skupina, ki sem jo videl, odkar sem tekom britsko-ruske okupacije Irana srečal kavkaško armado, kateri je poveljeval major general Vasilij Novikov. Njegovi pristaši so razdeljeni v dve skupini. Ena je Narodna osvobodilna vojska. Druga je partizanski oddelki Jugoslavije. Armada se skuša boriti kot armada, medtem ko partizanski oddelki operirajo v krajih, kjer ni prave fronte. Ampak sleherni vojak ljudske vojske se ponosno nazivlja partizana. Partizani devljejo rdeče zvezde na svoje uniforme in na stenah njihovih glavnih stanov se blešči insignija rdečega kladiva in srpa. Njihov pozdrav je dvignjena stisnjena pest. Nekateri pripadajo jugoslovanski komunistični stranki, ampak vsi partizani niso goreči komunisti. Komuniste in ne-komuniste druži skupen cilj — odpor proti Nemčiji in restoracija jugoslovanske svobode. Danes sem videl črno oblečene katoliške duhovnike, ki so pozdravili partizanske častnike z dvignjenjem sklenjene desne pesti ob stran glave. Slišal sem premožne trgovce iz mest, ki so rekli, da so trdno uverjeni v iskrenost ciljev partizanske vojske in zagotovili svoje sodelovanje. Čul sem poveljnika neke partizanske brigade, ko je izjavil: “Mi nimamo nobenih verskih ali političnih razlik. V naših vrstah je prostor za vse patriote, ki ljubijo in se borijo za Jugoslavijo.” (Dalje na 6. strani) PRODUKTI KEMIJE Kemija je čudovita veda in zdi se, da njenemu razvoju ni mej. Enega teh razvojev, razraščenega v mnogo vej, predstavlja plastika. Na kratko povedano, plastika pomeni produkt, ki je kemičnim potom izdelan iz različnih surovin ali prvin. Na primer za izdelovanje umetne svile se porablja voda, zrak in premog. To je samo ena primera. Za tisočere druge umetne izdelke se rabijo druge surovine v različnih kombinacijah in po raznih kemičnih procesih. V široki označbi so vsi taki izdelki plastika. Začetek industrije plastike sega v leto 1869 in se pripisuje Američanu, ki je iznašel celuloid. To je bil John Wesley Hyatt, po poklicu tiskar. Leta 1872 je bila v New Jerseyu organizirana Celluloid Company, ki je iz celuloida izdelovala nepremočljive ovratnike, gumbe, igralske kocke in tisočere druge izdelke. Različno sestavljene in producirane plastike so označene z imeni, ki imajo pač pomen za kemiste, n Hitler je v prejšnjih časih pogosto potoval iz Nemčije na rusko fronto. V bližnji bodoč-»oati. mu: Jani<> taka potovanja prihranjena, ker ruska fronta prihaja bližje in bližje Nemčiji. Ruski vojni reporter Uija Ehrenburg poroča med drugim: “Nemški nadomestni bataljon za 19. divizijo tankov, ki je nedavno dospel na rusko fronto, je bil do 60% sestavljen iz Francozov iz Alzacije in Lorene, ostali pa so bili Slovenci. Bataljon je pri prvi priliki prešel k rdeči armadi.” Iz poročila je razvidno, da Nemci v zasedeni Sloveniji rekrutirajo naše rojake za nemško armado in jih pošiljajo na rusko fronto. Ali je čudno, če slovenski fantje in možje doma rajši pobegnejo v gozdove k hostarjem ali partizanom, kot pa da bi se tepli za Hitlerja v Rusiji! * Še par izčrpkov iz Ehrenbur-govega poročila: “Nemški poročnik je ravno pripovedoval moštvu svoje stotnije, da se jim ni treba bati Rusov, ker rdeča armada je do skrajnosti izčrpana, ko je pristopil njegov sluga in mu nekaj pošepetal. Poročnik je zbegano pogledal in jadrno končal lekcijo s poveljem: “Narazen! Vsak naj se reši, kakor se more.” V bližini so se namreč pojavile čete “izčrpane” rdeče armade. “Fritz Sielemann je pripovedoval svojim prijateljem v šesti nemški pehotni diviziji: “šel sem bil obiskat mojega strica v Dortmund, toda našel nisem niti hiše niti družine. Stric, kot sem izvedel, leži pod razvalinami. Od mesta Dortmunda ni ostalo ničesar.” ❖ V Berkeleyu, California, se je Mrs. Edith Bell pritožila na sodniji čez sosede preko ceste, ki da njenemu psičku jezike in osle kažejo. To da psička razburja, da se jezi in laja, kar mu škoduje na zdravju. Škoda, da nežne dame z njenim psičkom vred ni mogoče poslati kam na (Dalje na 2. strani) n H rr NOVA DOBA rv GLASILO AMERIŠKE BRATSKE ZVEZE Lastnina Ameriške bratske zveze IZHAJA VSAKO SREDO Cene oglasov po dogovoru Naročnina za člane 72c letno; za nečlana $1.50; za inozemstvo $2 OFFICIAL ORGAN of the AMERICAN FRATERNAL UNION, Inc.

Roka postave je, kakor vselej, premagala trmo. * Milijonskemu mestu Clevelandu župani naš rojak in sobrat Frank J. Lausche. Dne 2 novembra bomo imeli mestne volitve in župan Lausche j( kandidat za ponovno izvolitev. Njegov protikandidat je Ed Stanton, katerega so baje ko-| maj nagovorili, da je sprejel candidaturo, ker da nima ni-1 cakega upanja na zmago. Nekateri lokalni politikaši pravijo, da se Stanton ravna po logiki] tistega Ribničana, ki je, iskajoč izgubljenega konja, dejal: “Saj vem, da ga ni v tej dolini, pa grem vseeno pogledat.” Vsekakor, pri volitvah se nič v naprej ne ve brez ciganke. Zato bo najbolj pametno, da gremo dne 2. novembra vsi polnoletni clevelandski državljani na volišče in volimo tako, kot mislimo, da je prav. Slovenci smo majhen narod in komaj kakega četrt milijona nas je bilo v Zedinjenih državah, ko smo bili na višku; vendar ne bomo brez sledu izginili v ameriškem morju. Prišel bo čas, ko bo v tej deželi po naravnem procesu utihnila slovenska beseda, .toda z njo ne bo utihnila' slovenska pesem ali vsaj ne slovenska melodija. Kot žarno rdeči slovenski nagelj se bo v vencih bodočih ameriških pesmi sem in tja zasmejala sladka slovenska melodija, morda še čez stoletja. Taka lepota ne umrje. Druga neumrjoča slovenska dobrina, ki jo bomo pustili Ameriki v trajen spomin, je slovenska potica. To je delikatesa, s kakršno se ne more ponašati noben drugi narod na svetu. Ko smo bili otroci, nam je bila potica višek božanstva, kateri po našem takratnem mnenju ni bilo primere niti na tem niti na onem svetu. Seveda smo jo tudi v poznejših letih] obdržali v odličnem spoštovanju. Pa tudi tisočeri Američa-| ni so se že zaljubili v slovenske potice pri prvem srečanju z njimi. Bodoče generacije naših potomcev, četudi bodo že davno pozabile vse druge naše dobre nauke, bodo še vedno znale zvijati in peči potice. In pozni rodovi Američanov bodo ugibali, kako krasna mora biti dežela, iz katere izhaja taka delikatesa. Tako. bo s potico ovekovečena slava Slovenije. Pa ne le to. Pred par tedni so, skoro vse slovenske matere, ki imajo sinove v vojni službi Zedinjenih držav, pekle dišeče po-, tiče, da jih pošljejo svojim od-. šotnim sladkosnedcem za bo-. žična darila. Tako se bo zgo-| . dilo, da se bo pela hozana slo-j i venski potici od Avstralije in j i pacifičnih otokov, do Islandije,, Anglije, Italije, Tunisije in ! Perzije. In, kjer koli se bo za ! božič pokazala slovenska poti-j ca, tam bo od naših fantov in - njihovih tovarišev soglasno proglašena za kraljico in najlepšoj poinsetijo božične sezone. A. J. T.

Naslov za vse, kar se tiče lista: 6233 St. Clair Ave. Cleveland 3, Ohio 42 NO. ZAUPAMJE V SAMEGA SEBE Predpogoj za vsak uspeh je samozaupanje in odločnost napeti vse sile za dosego istega. To velja za posameznike, kakor tudi za velike ali male skupine. Ko so Japonci zahrbtno napadli naš Pearl Harbor in ko sta hiti o za tem sledili še vojni napovedi od strani Nemčije m Italije, je bila Amerika slabo pripravljena, vojaško in moial-no. Naše bojne sile, z izjemo mornarice, &o bile po večini mlade, neizvežbene in pomanjkljivo opremljene in po vsej deželi so se bili grdo razpasli črvi apizarstva. V prvem hipu smo se zdrznili, toda že v naslednjem hipu smo se zavedli naše velike dremajoče moči. Tej zavesti je sledila ogorčenost in iz nje se je porodila odločnost, da nio-lamo premagati naše sovražnike, pa naj stane, kar hoče. Danes ima Amerika bojno silo, o kakršni niti sanjali nismo pred dvemi leti. Njena moč, oprema in izvežbanost so se že častno izkazale na Pacifiku, na Atlantiku* v Afriki in v Evropi in v bližnji bodočnosti se bodo izkazale še bolj. Danes ni vprašanja, če bomo zmagali, ampak kdaj bomo zmagali. Glede končne zmage nismo v dvomu, kot prav za prav nikdar nismo biH. Vsi vemo, da je bila tudi Rusija nenadno napadena, predno je bila dovolj pripravljena na odpor. Toda tudi ona ni izgubila zaupanja v svojo moč, tudi ona se je odločno postavila v bran. Ruske armade so se morale sicer dolgo umikati, toda pri tem so zadajale sovražniku krvave rane. V tem pa se je razsežna dežela v zaledju pripravljala z vsem potrebnim za protinapad. Pri Stalingradu se je ruski medved ustavil, nakar je začel poditi sovražnika nazaj. Ta ofenziva je še vedno v mogočnem razmahu in se polagoma, pa gotovo bliža mejam nemškega zverinjaka. To kljub ogromnim izgubam na dva tisoč mil; dolgi fronti, ki se cenijo na pet milijonov mož. Samozaupanje naših ruskih bratov in zaveznikov ni varalo. Dober vzgled velikega samozaupanja nam daje tudi ljudstvo Jugoslavije. Ko so sovražniki: Nemci, Italijani Bolgari in Madžari navalili na Jugoslavijo od vseh strani se je njena redna armada pred preveliko premočjo sovražnika v kratkem času zrušila. Deloma je bila kriva ts-mu naglemu porazu tudi izdaja in deloma nesposobnost vodilnih osebnosti v Jugoslaviji. Delo špijonaže in peto-kolonstva je rodilo svoj strupeni sad. O tem bomo še marsikaj slišali v ne preveč oddaljeni bodočnosti. Toda ljudstvo Jugoslavije ni izgubilo zaupanja v svojo moč in moč zaveznikov. Pojavil se je ljudski odpor, najprej v malem, polagoma pa v vedno večjem in večjem obsegu, številne divizije sovražnika, ki bi bile sicer na ruskem, afriškem ali italijanskem bojišču, so se morale in se še morajo boriti z uporniki Jugoslavije, že več kot dve leti je Jugoslavija podjarmljena, toda je še vedno v aktivni vojni za svobodo na strani zaveznikov. O bojih v Jugoslaviji in celo v mali Sloveniji danes govori in piše ves svet. Nobena druga izmed podjarmljenih dežel ne more pokazati ta-Kega rekorda. Seveda, bori se ljudstvo Jugoslavije, ne njeni bivši voditelji, ki so v prvih dneh nevarnosti pobegnili v inozemstvo. V tem ljudstvu je vera za zmago in pogoj za njegovo resnično svobodo. * « Na te in take vzglede samozaupanja se domislimo, kadar nam črnogledi pesimisti pojejo jsremijade glede bodočnosti naših slovenskih podpornih organizacij. Že pred 25 leti smo slišali take jeremijade, ki pa se niso uresničile. Uresničile pa se niso zato, ker nas je bilo dovolj, ki smo verjeli v našo moč in bodočnost in smo v tej smeri tudi delali. Položaj naših podpornih organizacij je dandanes precej drugačen kot je bil ob njih ustanovitvah, toda, če se bomo znali v bodoče prilagoditi izpremen jenim situacijam, kakor smo se znali v preteklih desetletjih, S3 nam za dogledno bodočnost ni treba bati za njih obstoj. Vse, kar je treba, je, da zaupamo v našo moč ter da smo živi in delavni. To upoštevajmo tudi v zaključnih tednih kampanje v proslavo 45-letnice Ameriške bratske zveze. državnikov v Moskvi zavzela nekako smernico z ozirom na boje na Balkanu in dala neko direktivo vsem skupinam, ki se borijo proti Nemcem. POHODI VANDALOV (Nadaljevanje s 1. strani) kovala je tu večji avtomobilski promet in na splošno večjo neugnanost. Dijakinja Lidija Groševa je izjavila, da se ji zde ameriške ženske nenavadno vitke, nakar je s smehom pristavila, da morda bodo tudi ruske dijakinje po enem letu bolj vitke. Dejala je dalje, da ruska dekleta se nikoli ne šminkajo in zelo malo jih je, ki pušijo; vodka pa je samo za moške. Vse dijakinje so priznale, da jih nekoliko lomi domotožje in pa da pogrevajo rusko narodno jed, imenovano boršt, in pa črn kruh. V Ameriki si najbolj žele ogledati slapove Niagare in pa naše glavno mesto Washington. Vsi dijaki in dijakinji govorijo dobro angleščino in iz njih kipi samo zdravje, dasi prihajajo iz krajev, ki so bili pod nemškim ognjem, iz Moskve, Murmanska in Leningrada. Učijo se z veliko vnemo in odloč-I nostjo od 9. uri dopoldne do 9. ure zvečer. Vprašanjem o možnosti separatnega miru med Nemčijo in Rusijo se čudijo. Ena dijakinj je na to vprašanje udarila s pestjo po mizi in izjavila: “Kar mi hočemo, je nikdar skleniti miru z Nemci, ampak jih zbiti, in sicer pošteno zbiti.” Vse dijakinje in dijaki so tu- Q di izjavili, da obožujejo in ob- ” čudujejo našega predsednika ^ Roosevelta in da ga prav tako visoko či9la tudi večina ruskega c ljudstva. ^ _____________________ c Š1 V RAZVOJU VELIKIH ti DOGODKOV c r (Nadaljevanje s 1. strani) j -------------------- c trom in da mu je slednji de- ^ jal: “Jaz sem povedal genera- j lu Mihajloviču, da mi nismo bili pppolnptna zadovoljni z njegovo smernico" in da se ni dovolj bojeval proti Nemcem. To se mora predrugačiti in pričeti se mora z bolj aktivnimi operacijami.” * Problem partizanov in četnikov ostaja sporna točka. Parti- 1 zani izjavljajo, da se borijo za ■ svobodo jugoslovanskih ljud- : stev, medtem, ko da se gre Mi- ( hajloviču in njegovim četnikom i le za upostavitev Velike Srbije in za kralja Petra, kateremu hočejo zasigurati prestol. Partizansko gibanje, kot moremo soditi, je izšlo iz ljudstva samega, ki odklanja jugoslovansko zamejno vlado. Partizani, kolikor moremo posneti iz raz-I nih poročil, kontrolirajo večino Slovenije, Istre, Dalmacije in nekaj drugih pokrajin, vsaj podeželje. Nemški okupacijski armadi povzročajo velike ne-prilike. Pri partizanih je neko število angleških posredovalnih častnikov in najbrž tudi nekaj ruskih. Poroča se sem in tja, da dobivajo partizani nekaj bojnih potrebščin od Angležev in Rusov. To bi kazalo, da jih oboji jemljejo za'silo, katero je treba upoštevati. Po poročilu iz Kaira, priobčenem v New York Times dne 18. otkobra, so se Mihajlovičevi četniki pričeli bojevati z Nemci ob Donavi nasproti rumunske meje. Od tam je bilo tudi poro-čano, da so v jugoslovansko zamejno vlado vstopili trije novi ministri, namreč Berislav Anri jelinovič, Ivo Cicin in dr. Jurij Koce; slednje imenovani je Slovenec. Po poročilu v New York Tribune-Heraldu so omenjeni trije novi ministri pristaši partizanov. če je to resnica, bi kazalo, da je tudi jugoslovanska zamejna vlada pričela upošte-j vati moč partizanov in da skuša premostiti spor med partizani in četniki. Vest je treba; seveda vzeti z rezervo. Situacija na Balkanu ostaja skrajno zapletena in nejasna. Nekteri prijatelji balkanskih narodov upa-| jo, da bo sedanja konferenca ameriških, angleških in ruskih dali, ropalo in plenilo v Rimu in drugih mestih sedanje Italije že leta 455. Vandali so bili tevtonskega ali germanskega plemena, kakor so današnji Nemci. Z drugimi besedami povedano, nekdanji Vandali in današnji Nemci so si v bližnjem sorodu. Vandali so prvotno živeli v sedanji severovzhodni Nemčiji, med rekama Odro in Vislo. Od tam so pričeli siliti proti jugu in po nekaterih vojnah so se naselili v Panoniji. V petem stoletju pa so preko sedanje Francije prešli Pirenejsko gorovje v Španijo. Naselili so se v sedanji Andaluziji. Leta 429 so se odzvali klicu Bonifacija, rebel-nega governerja v Afriki. Pod njegovim vodstvom in vodstvom njegovih naslednikov so Vanda-izvajali silne plenitve in grozodejstva v Sredozemlju. Razdejanja so bila tolika, da v teku štirinajst sto let niso pozabljena. Vandal še danes pomeni človeka, ki namenoma uniči ali poškoduje kako stvar, ne da bi imel od tega kako korist. Vandalizem še dandanes imenujemo nalašč in iz hudobije povzročeno škodo. Leta 1527 v vojni med Francijo in Španijo so modernejši Vandali spet plenili Rim. In sicer so bili to najeti nemški in španski profesionalni vojaki, katerim je poveljeval rebelni Francoz Constable de Bourbon.. Plenjenje je tcajalo dva meseca. Dandanes plenijo Rim, Italijo, Slovenijo in Jugoslavijo sorodniki prvotnih Vandalov—Nemci Je ostalo v žlahti!

Partizani so porazili bataljon nemških vojakov, ki so čuvali dragoceni rudnik, nakar so rudniške naprave tako razbili, da bo produkcija rudnika za dogleden čas ustavljena. , BOLGARI IN RUSI Simpatije bolgarskega Jjud-stva do Rusije so tolike, da pokojni kralj Boris ni upal napovedati vojne Rusiji, ko je napovedal vojno Zedinjenim državam, Angliji, Grški in Jugoslaviji. Tako Bolgarija še vedno vzdržuje svoje poslaništvo v Moskvi in Rusija v Sofiji. Ruski poslanik v Sofiji je V. De-korozov, eden najboljših ruskih diplomatov. Zdi se, da Rusija upa na prevrat v Bolgariji, kadar nemški pritisk tam nekoliko odneha. komni hišni lastniki pa si znajo tu in tam na razne načine pomagati, da iztisnejo več najemnine od stanovalcev.

Lodge 170, AFU To Celebrate AFU 45th Anniversary With Social, Nov. 13th Despite serious war times, we in our city are not without entertainment and recreation. Every Saturday and Sunday socials are held which are usually well attended. It seems that the people need recreation more now than before. On Sunday, Oct. 31st a concert will be given by the well-known Tom Cukale which promises much entertainment by his rendition of beautiful songs. One half of the net profit will go to the aid of our countrymen in the old country. This is why it is recommended that Chicagoans and neighboring countrymen attend this concert in a large number. On Saturday, Nov. 13th our Lodge No. 170, AFU will hold a social at Sister Mary Golenko’s place. Anyone who has ever attended any of our affairs knows that our lodge has always served its guests well. We also intend to do so on Nov. 13th. There will also be an added attraction at this social which for the time being must remain a secret. All members of our lodge should arrange their time so tha-t they will be able to attend our social on Nov. 13th at Golenko’s. Other neighboring lodges are also welcome as well as friends of lodge members. The greater number attending, the better the social will be. The lodg^ will at this time celebrate the 45th anniversary of the American Fraternal Union. At the same time we will, according to the old custom, celebrate St. Martin’s day. It is rumored that someone who is lucky will take home a roast goose. Therefore, brothers and sisters and friends, do not forget our social to be held at Golenko’s on Nov. 13th. To those members who perhaps overlooked my last article in which my new address was published, I would like to repeat that my new address is: 1846 W. Cullerton St. (Telephone: Canal 4840).

Adamic Sends Cable To Moscow Conference Louis Adamic, president of the United Committee of the South Slavic Americans, sent a cable to Secretary of State Hull, Foreign Minister, Eden and National Commisar of Foreign Affairs Molotov, now attending the joint conference in Moscow, in which he stated that “there are many hundreds of thousands of Yugoslav Americans, represented by the United Committee, who are deeply concerned over the tense situation in Yugoslavia, which raises important problems for the Allied policies. “We firmly hope” states Adamic’s cable to these three leading persons, “that the Moscow conference will make immediate positive decisions to furnish material help to the Yugoslav National Liberation Army under the brilliant and capable leadership of Tito. “We strongly feel that the Moscow conference will not think of cooperating with the Quislings, Nedich and Mihailovich. “As the people who fight un- CHECK YOUR HEATING SYSTEM Sure, it’s a long time until cold weather, but the Greater Cleveland Safety Council suggests that you may save property and lives by order a check of your home’s heating system now.

One of our chief concerns is the future boundry of Yugoslavia and Italy.

Exhibit of Old World Arts and Crafts ■ j “From Many Lands,” an ex- : hibit of Old World arts and : crafts, sponsored by the Inter- : cujtural Library of the Cleve- 1 land Public Library system, will be held at the Telenews Theatre Radio Lounge, 241 Eu- , did Avenue, October 18-31. The Intercultural Library, located at East 55th and St. Clair Avenue, contains more than 4000 articles representing the folk arts, the crafts and the fine arts of Cleveland’s nationality groups. Each group has an alcove, with generous space for the display of pictures, embroideries, paintings and other arts and crafts, and a locked museum case in which precious small objects are exhibited. Shelves are provided for books in English and in the language of the group, bringing together the national literature and arts. These exhibits are changed from time to time. The exhibit being shown at the Telenews Theatre is taken, in part, from the material displayed at the Intercultural Library. Also included in the exhibit is a hand carved wooden box and Chess set, made in Slovenia, Yugoslavia, loaned by Miss Irma Kalan, 1007 East 74th Street, and a painting of a scene in Slovenia, by Božidar Jakac, loaned by Dr. F. J. Kern, 6233 St. Clair Avenue. The objects of art brought from the Old World into the New World and harmonious cooperation between the various groups who lend them for our enjoyment and appreciation makes for a greater solidarity among Clevelanders.! Meet and know your neighbor by seeing the exhibit at the Telenews Theatre, October 18-31, and then stop at the Intercultural Library to get a full picture of the similarity or diversity of cultural development of groups with a common Old World experience.

It’s a lot cheaper to mend a broken step than a broken bone. WASHINGTON NEWS FLASHES By Florence D. Startz Shortly before I came to Washington, D. C. a friend of mine told me I’d have to have an abundance of patience if I intended to live here. Truer words were never spoken! I’m especially referring to waiting in line—and you wait for everything! Usually in restaurants you stand in line so long that when you’re finally served an enormous appetite has been worked up—either that or else you’re too tired to eat. However, I usually get at the beginning of these long lines, so I’m able to cope with this “problem” all right! One gets accustomed to a lot of things after living in our capital for a while. Now I’m able to sleep soundly right through Washington’s air raid drills in the wee hours of the morning. * * v The other day in Washington I almost passed a young lady in a trim-looking Marine uniform—when suddenly I recognized her as Emily Slogar from my home town, Ely, Minn. This is just to let the “folks back home” know that any pictures they may see of Miss Slogar in uniform couldn’t possibly to justice to her. Emily is the girl who so patiently treked Washington with me when I, as a newcomer, went room-hunting. ❖ # * By the way, talking about getting a room in our capital, my favorite story concerning this subject is: A newcomer to Washington saw a man “drowning in a pond.” Before the unlucky fellow went down the last time the first man made him tell his address. Then he went to this place and told the proprietor the man had drowned and he would like his room. “You’re too late,” answered the proprietor, “the man who pushed him has already moved in!” * * v I wonder what the conception of “large” is down in Texas. One day down in the FBI building we received a description of 'As the days get shorter and the nights get longer, the confusing in-between hours of twilight will become even more dangerous for both car drivers and pedestrians. The Greater Cleveland Safety Council urges you to take extra care driving or walking in twilight traffic.

The young fellow had “high hopes” of joining the Navy. He had even somehow obtained credentials that he bad been wounded at the sinking of the aircraft carrier, t*he Lexington ! * * And so I’ve come to the end of another article, but watch for me next week!

Blue Star Mothers Honored By Lodges of i Gowanda, New York ! , ■ a The hunting season has once again opened and that’s a sure sign of Autumn and again a little fellow with a big rifle on his shoulder is seen strolling along slowly by Broadway Hill; why it’s none other than our Mayor of Hidi, Joe Bohinc. He is forever grinning and one never knows if he’s out shooting rabbits or Japs. We’re still waiting patiently for the rabbit dinner he promised. On Oct. 2nd, a very nice program was held at the Slovenian Club in honor of the Blue Star Mothers. It was sponsored by the six Slovene, Polish and English-speaking lodges. Corsages were presented to all mothers and they certainly looked nice, seated together at the long tables. Lunch was served following the program. Those attending were Mr. and Mrs. Floyd Baker, Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Belec, Mrs. Anton Bratosh, Mr. and Mrs. Louis Buschay, Mr. and Mrs. Carmen, Mrs. Jennie Dekleva, Mr. and Mrs. Michael Evans, Mr. John Hočevar, Mr. and Mrs. Louis Huch, Mrs. Amelia Kaluza, Mr. and Mrs. John Klančar, Mr. and Mrs. John Korbar, Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Korbar, Mr. and Mrs. Louis Korbar, Mrs. Frances Krainz, Mrs. Jack Krall, Mrs. Lipinski, Mr. and Mrs. George Luine, Mr. and Mrs. Anthony Majcen, Mrs. Josephine Mazurek, Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Naglich, Mr. and Mrs. Frank Neporadny, Mr. Matt Oman, Mr. and Mrs. John Pav-| lin, Mrs. Michael Reska, Mr.! and Mrs. Frank Ross, Mrs. Anna Sever, Mr. and Mrs. Louis Selan, Mrs. John Skoczylas, Mr. Charles Sternisha Sr., Mrs. Julius Szymanski, Mr. in Mrs; Martin Vončina Sr., Mr. and Mrs. Martin Urban, Mr. and Mrs. Frank Victor, Mr. afnd Mrs. John Walgus, Mr. and Mrs. Sylvester Yezek, Mr. Louis Zawislak and Mrs. Zelnik. Ernie Miller acted as Master of Ceremonies in the absence of Louis Klucek who was ill. The guest speaker was Mayor E. L. Gayvert. He gave a very interesting speech and a basket of 1 flowers was presented to him 1 by Beverly Klancer. He was 1 also given a key and member- I ship card to the Slovene Club. '• Other speakers were Charles ’ Sternisha Sr., Joseph Pečnik, i Rose and John Matekovich, Er- i nest Miller, Mrs. Evelyn Sternisha and Sgt.

Each star represents f one of our Slovene Club members who is fighting for Uncle Inside the Axis Yugoslav Patriots Take Toll on Ustachi: According to the controlled Croatian press and the Hungarian Telegraph Bureau, a wave of assassinations has taken place recently among officers of the Ustashi, Dr. Ante Pavelich’s uniformed Storm Troop organization in Croatia. The Zagreb newspaper Nova Hrvatska reported that Usta-I3ha Lieut. Col. Dr. Antum Ilik, First Lieut. Dragon Dervatoc and Ensign Stjepan Astalos had been killed by Yugoslav Patriots, while the Hungarian agency reported the assassination. of one Branlovich, com-mander-in-chief of the Ustashi in Southern Dalmatia. The Ustashi rebel s—composed of left-over functionaries and officers of the old Austrian regime, revolutionaries of all sorts, and professional criminals and cutthroats—were organized by Pavelich as his private army long before the war. Outlawed in Yugoslavia, these storm troopers, who wore khaki uniforms and caps with the large letter “U”, ■ trained in camps in Hungary and Italy ■fintil Pavelich came to power, reportedly on money supplied first by Adolf Hitler and then Benito Mussolini. Their rifle practice, it is reported, consisted of aiming at cardboard figures representing King Alexander of Yugoslavia, who was assassinated later at Marseille. Chicago AFU Liberty Bell Bowling League The tune is still the same with the Chicago AFU Liberty Bell Lodge Bowling League — two against one. On Oct. 22, the Maryton Cafe team won two games; the Fox River Hotel team won one. The Gottlieb Florists won two, the Hujan Tavern team, one. The three best bowlers last time in individual games were Louis An-dreasich with 200, Joseph Fajfar, 192 and Joseph Gomilar, 185. Individual three game high were Joseph Fajfar, 493, Louis Dolmovich, 480 and Louis An-dreasich, 479. There, you can see we’re pretty tired out after our hard day’s work and no one is especially at' his ,beatv however, we hope that we will soon get into the grove again and begin really bowling those pins over with a bang.

The Recreation Levy will call for only one cent of taxation for every one hundred dollars of taxable property. Thus it will not bring about any appreciable increase in taxes. In fact, the total tax rate for the coming year will be substantially reduced because of other rigid economies introduced by the Lausche administration. —Welfare Federation oi Cleveland, Ohio jm (Co“tlnuation) !4)DtMaS "^e'r to Venice,” ** «4 /latter’S foreign po!'

Bari. le Problem of Trieste By Ivan M. Tchok Spalato, Italy is going to monopolize the traffic of the Adriatic. Italy is going to be the founder of the new commerce between the Adriatic and the Balkans, between the Adriatic and the East. It will not have to worry then about competition of the other navies in the Adriatic, nor about the pressure of the strong foreign commerce which aimed to expel from the Orient the Italian traffic. Then at last, the Adriatic will be properly Italian and for Italy. Because of the possession of Trieste and Fiume, Italy will have in its hands all the big economic currents between Central Europe, the Mediterranean basin and the Far East.” These sketchy explanations summarize Italy’s modern policy in the Adriatic. Italy’s attitude has always been the exact copy of Venice’s greediness centuries ago. Italy wants all for herself leaving nothing for others. She wants to be the sole mistress in the Adriatic.* The importance of the Adriatic for the whole Mediterranean basin is apparent. There is no doubt that the power which is the sole master of it is a serious menace to all other Mediterranean powers. Italy’s plans to control the Adriatic were the first step in her intentions to make out of the Mediterranean an Italian sea, the Mare Nostrum. Germany also had plans to become an Adriatic power. In dividing Yugoslavia, occupying and ^annexing its western part, Germany’s ultimate aim was to extend its influence over the Mediterranean after the present war. If a just and durable peace is to be achieved in the Balkans and ajong the Adriatic, Italy must withdraw from the Eastern Adriatic coast, from Albania, Dalmatia, Istria and from Trieste. Italy must go west of the river Socha within her clearly recognizable ethnographical boundaries.. That the real ethnographical border between the Slavs and the Italians is along the river Socha has been acknowledged by many first-class authorities, Italians and others. In 1809 Napoleon was urged by Eugene Bsauharnais on the basic of “strategic necessities” and by the notables of Venice on the ground of “economic necessities” to draw the boundaries between the newly created “Illyric provinces” and the Kingdom of Italy more to the East of the river Socha. Nevertheless, he fixed the frontier between the two States west of the Socha, along the line which separates the Slavs and the Italians.

FIGHTING JUGOSLAVIA The Struggle of the Slovene# By BORIS FURLAN, Professor of Political Philosophy at the University of Ljubljana (Jugoslavia) (Continuation) The people care.little about this mysticism of death, for in contrast with the promises of the German leaders there stand the facts of the frightful brutalities of the oppressors. The Slovenes have not witnessed such horrors since the ninth century, when the Mongolian Magyars pillaged the Slovene land. The people fully realize that they can exist only in a free Yugoslavia and in a free fellowship of all people, hence they react accordingly. This conviction is not merely the ideology of some factions or of a few individuals, but it is an active living force of all the people who suffer the greatest sacrifices for a better future world. The Second Stratum: Attempts on Life and Sabotage The members of the second stratum are entrusted with the task of establishing communications between the masses and the guerrillas. For this reason they must time their activities so as to give the greatest possible aid to the military operations against the occupiers. According to the exigencies of time and place, attempts on life of the enemy and sabotage occur either simultaneously with the military operations, or before them as a preparatory measure. Another important task of this group is the printing of underground newspapers, which constitute the organ of the guerrilla high command, as well as providing information service. Attempts on the lives of high officials of the occupation regime and attempts to destroy public buildings and institutions are made almost daily. We read of them in all the newspapers. Many attempts are successfully launched even in broad daylight in well-populated centers. Those who make the attempts usually sue-' ceed in escaping, which proves how carefully everything is planned and prepared. Some of the most successful raids have been made from ambush. Thus, for example, one of the leaders of the Fascist party and bodyguard to the High Commissioner of Ljubljana was lured to a spot near the city and killed. At noon, in Jesenice, (an industrial center occupied by the Gefrmans) Mayor Luckmann was shot near the Municipal House as he was returning home from his office in the midst of busy traffic. He was much hated because of his cruclty. A few days before the hand of justice overtook him, he went out in his Gestapo uniform “on a hunt for Partizans,” as he expressed it, and “dragged home two dead. Because of his? death and ahat of thej bloc-leader Andrej Jaki, whoj was shot on the same day in 5 Kranj, 50 Slovene hostagesj from all parts of Gorenjsko were slain. Particularly frequent are the attempts on festive occasions of the occupiers, at meetings, exhibitions and the like. At the opening of the Grand Fair of Ljubljana a bomb exploded and demolished a new pavilion at the entrance. In spite of the tragic situation, there is here and there a comic note. At the opening of the Fair, the Italians ordered that the pictures of the Italian king and of Mussolini be displayed in all display windows. On the morning of the opening, however, uniformed’employees of the Magistracy handed the merchants an order signed by the city director Jančigar to remove immediately all the pictures from the display windows. Later it was revealed that the director’s signature was forged and that guerrillas, dressed 'as1 city employees, gave the order. To save themselves from further ridicule, the Italians did not again order the pictures, to be displayed. (To be continued) To UNNEtESJAfcV HlaKfcR. COLD STORAGE'OPERATION If a foot, a leg, an arm has to be amputated, put it into an icebox and no further anesthetic will be needed. In practice, of course, an icebox is impracticable and the limb is thoroughly chilled by applying refrigerating materials to its surface, after circulation is checked by use of a tourniquet. Advantages of cold as an anesthetic, as reported by Dr. Frederick M. Allen of New York City, are that it abolishes pain sensations and at the same time prevents shock by decreasing tissue irritability. After the operation, lesser degrees of chilling are continued for two or three days to control post-operative pain. Refrigeration also is said to retard blood clotting, thus preventing dangerous clots from circulating in the system, and to reduce infection greatly. —Your Health Magazine The Council asks that wherever you are—at work, at home, in your car, at play—help stop accidents and save manpower for warpower.
