Amerikanci, ki pravijo, da želijo napraviti konec vojskovanju v Nikaragvi, imajo svoj urad tudi v Managvi in uživajo podporo sandinističnih oblasti. Tako je ta urad včeraj obiskal sam predsednik Nikaragve Daniel Ortega. Sodeč po poročilih, ki prihajajo iz Nikaragve in Costa Rica, ni povsem jasno, katero gverilsko gibanje je dejansko ugrabilo Ame-rikance. Predstavnik ARDE, ki je eden od številnih protisandinističnih gibanj, je dejal novinarjem, da je bil incident zrežiran od sandinistov samih z namenom, da bi očrnili ugled njih nasprotnikov. Včeraj je predsednik Ronald Reagan podpisal zakonski osnutek, ki odobri med drugim tudi ameriško nevojaško podporo protisandinističnim borcem. Odobrenih v ta namen je bilo 27 milijonov dolarjev. Gverilci sami so v zadnjih tednih izvedli več manjših, a uspešnih napadov na sandinistične postojanke. Sandinisti pa sedaj uporabljajo zelo učinkovite helikopterje MI-24, ki so sovjetske izdelave. Branilci Arthurja Walkerja, obtoženega vohunjenja v prid ZSSR, ne bodo poklicali niti ene priče — Zaključne izjave danes NORFOLK, Va. — Odvetniki, ki branijo Arthurja J. Walkerja, ki naj bi bil sodeloval v vohunski mreži, ki jo je v prid ZSSR dolga leta vodil njegov brat John, ne bodo poklicali nobene priče in tako bodo zaključni argumenti podani že danes. Ker ni porote, bo ugotovil Walkerjevo krivdo ali nekrivdo zvezni sodnik J. Calvitt Clarke. Sojenje drugim članom vohunske mreže se bo začelo proti koncu tega meseca. Dobro poučeni viri trdijo, da o krivdi obtožencev ni nobenega dvoma, preiskovalci pa še niso mogli ugotoviti, kolikšno dejansko škodo so vohuni povzročili ZDA. Jasno pa menda je, da je ta škoda precejšnja, predvsem za ameriško mornarico. - Kratke vesti — Jeruzalem, Iz. — Včeraj so izraelska letala napadla neko palestinsko oporišče v libanonski dolini Bekaa.

Pet od 21 članic Lige pa zasedanje bojkotirajo. Gre predvsem za radikalnejše države, v prvi vrsti Libija in Sirija.

Ur.) Združene države, Argentina in Jugoslavija imajo pri vsej različnosti vsaj eno skupno točko: vse tri so zadolžene. Da sta zadolženi Jugoslavija in Argentina zaradi nespametne izvesticijske politike in nizke uspešnosti, ni nič novega. Gre za posledice večje ali manjše socializacije, ki se je izkazala po vsem svetu kot nesposobno tekmovanja z državami, ki imajo poleg svobodnega gospodarskega sistema tudi visoko delovno moralo. A kaj je z ZDA, ki so bile dolga desetletja upnik vsega sveta, pa so postale zdaj največji med dolžniki? Odstop Davida Stockmana, ki je bil še pred nekaj tedni ravnatelj državnega proračuna v Reaganovi vladi, pomeni, da tudi on ne vidi po dosedanji poti izhod iz rastočega neravnovesja v ameriškem državnem proračunu. Njegova odločitev je še laže razumljiva, če premislimo, da bodo ZDA morale plačati letos zaradi svojega dolga okrog 100.000 milijonov dolarjev obresti. Kje je rešitev? Teoretično je odgovor lahak; potrebno bi bilo zmanjšati državne stroške pa usmeriti razliko v odplačevanje dolga ali v reaktivacijo osnovne industrije, ki ni dovolj konkurenčna na svetovnem trgu. V praksi pa stvar ni enostavna. Zanimivo je, da je položaj ZDA danes zelo podoben onemu, ki ga je doživljala Argentina pod ministrom Martinez de Hozom. Deficit je financiran z zunanjimi krediti. To pomeni plačevati današnje blagostanje z jutrišnjo krizo, kar je jasno videti tu na jugu, a zaradi dalekosežnosti posledic še ni očividno na severu. Je pa v ZDA še drug pojav, ki bi moral vznemirjati tamkajšnje gospodarstvenike in to je zmanjšanje zaposlitve in tudi ; proizvodnje v jeklarski, tekstilni, usnjarski, kemični, petrolej ski in premogovni industriji, medtem ko raste zaposlitev na področju financ, zavarovanja, nepremičnin in veletrgovine. To je vsaj delno posledica prevrednotenja dolarja, ki je vabljiva za uvoz, a otežkoča izvoz ameriških industrijskih izdelkov. Tudi to doprinaša k trgovskemu primanjkljaju najmogočnejše kapitalistične države na svetu, ki bo letos dosegel vsoto 150 milijard dolarjev. Razlika med argentinskim in ameriškim položajem je ta, da ima Argentina zelo omejeno možnost zadolževanja in je bilo obdobje »lahkega blagostanja« kratko, medtem ko ZDA morejo delati isto napako dalj časa, ne da bi posledice bile vidne. Druga, razlika je, da ZDA zaradi oboroževalne tekme z ZSSR ne morejo uravnovesiti državnega proračuna. In vendar bo treba najti tudi temu rešitev ter povečati produktivnost in obenem zmanjšati produktivne stroške, četudi za ceno socialno-političnih posledic. Argentina, nasprotno, bi mogla zmanjšati svoj proračun, vendar tega ne stori, ker je vsaj del vlade še prepričan, da velik državni aparat pomeni močno državo, kar seveda ni res. Jugoslavija pa stoji pred izbiro, ali Glas Slovenske Kulturne Akcije in Meddobje Izšla je druga številka Glasa, marec-april 1985, in revija Meddobje v Argentini. Obe publikaciji izhajata občasno, pač zaradi finančnih težav. Glas prinaša na osmih straneh zadnje novice iz slovenskega kulturnega sveta v emigraciji. Na prvi strani poroča o zadnji izdaji Meddobja. O Meddobju bomo spodaj poročali. Na drugi strani Glasa je članek o pisatelju Levu Deteli, ki živi na Dunaju. Detela je prejel nemško literarno priznanje za svojo religiozno liriki, napisano v nemščini. Detela namreč piše svoja dela v dveh jezikih, v slovenščini in nemščini. Pisatelj je zanimiva osebnost, ker obvlada oba jezika in se lahko v obeh izraža. Omenjeni članek govori o njegovih nemških spisih. Vladimir Kos piše pismo z Japonske, razpravlja o nekate-erih argentinskih pesnikih. Na ostalih straneh so različne drobne novice iz kulturnega sveta. Lado Lenček je v ZDA obiskal več slovenskih kulturnikov. Dr. Pavle Zablatnik je v Celovcu izdal pri Mohorjevi »Čar letnih časov v ljudskih šegah na Koroškem«. Dr. Toussaint Hočevar, profesor gospodarskih ved na univerzi v New Orleansu v ZDA je postal novi član S.K.A. v Argentini. Nekdo na kratko ocenjuje Biikvičev roman »Vojna in revolucija« in pravi, da ima Biikvič narodno osvobodilni bolj OF za avtentičen. Pavle Štrukelj, pisatelj slovenskega pokolenja, piše svoja dela v španščini. Vsebina Meddobja, številka XX 3/4 1984, je sledeča: Lev Detela bogati revijo z dvema razpravnima prozama. Prva obravnava Temelje slovenskega zdomskega ženskega pesništva, v kateri esejist najde razlike med matičnim ter zamejskim in zdomskim pesniškim ustvarjanjem. Predmet obravnavanja sta pesniški deli Milene Šoukal in Milene Merlak. Drugi prispevek obdeluje »Slovensko kulturo za rdečimi zastori« s podnaslovom »Novost Nove revije«. Obširna in tehtna je dr. Vinka Brumna študija o »Dobrem in vrednem«. Brumen nas že več let seznanja z veko-trajnimi, torej tudi aktualnimi in v naši stvarnosti globoko zakoreninjenimi filozofskimi vprašanji. Prav tako nas s filozofsko razpravo bogati Vladimir Kos. V eseju »Brezdomec optira za novo opredelitev filozofije« predstavlja novo definicijo modroslovja. Čeprav spis zahteva pozorno branje, nudi odlično snov za filozofsko razmišljanje tako tistemu, ki se uvaja v filozofske vede, kot izkušenemu ljubitelju modroslovja. V emigracijski sliki ob koncu drugega tisočletja s podnaslovom: Pozdrav letu 2000, skuša Andrej Rot podati retrospektivni pogled na argentinsko zdomsko stvarnost predvsem iz vidika, kakor je v uvodnem motto: Gre za poskus; smo na koncu stanja, ki nam mogoče še ponuja rešiti več rodov ali vsaj del njih, da kot skupnost ostane slovenska. Avtor je tudi pod zaglavjem »Zapisi« podal življenjsko pot dr. Rajka Ložarja. Podobno tematiko — razni problemi zdomcev — obravnava Avgust Horvat v eseju: Slovenec sem — hočem tudi ostati? Avtor opisuje naseljevanje Slovencev v novem svetu, poudarja vlogo duhovnikov, obravnava vprašanja izseljencev na različnih kontinentih in državah predvsem iz vidika obravnavanja slovenstva. Tone Brulc predstavi v študiji »O vprašanju narodne sprave« začetek, potek, vzroke in posledice revolucije v Sloveniji. Namen spisa je pokazati na vzroke nesprave, kaj loči del naroda in ideološko emigracijo od vladajočih. Manj obsežen je leposlovni del revije, vendar zato nič manj sočen. Tone Brulc objavlja črtico Ptič jokavec (Karau), kjer povzema pripovedko južnoameriških Indijancev o izvoru ptiča s človeško last nosijo in prikazuje nasprotje med mestom in njegovim pojmovanjem življenja ter pro vincialno arhaično mentalne to, ki je še ohranila živo vero v mite. Prav tako je Andreja Prebila »Kopivka« osnovana na in dijanski legendi. Kopiv a (copihue) je cvet, ki služi ko emblem indijanske rase Mapu če in je okras njihovih goz ov. Maksimilijan Osojnik naj brž prvič objavlja v Meddo J eno izmed svojih črtic. » r' jetno breme« je pripove 1 kmečkega življenja s prepros in čustveno vsebino.

Slej ko prej se bodo dolžniki vsega sveta in tudi ZDA morali odločiti, da odpravijo vzroke svojih zadolžitev. Ne le finančni, ves svetovni gospodarski sistem z negotovostjo išče in čaka odgovora na to vprašanje.

Argentina, ki je teoretično liberalna a v praksi socialistična dežela, potrebuje predvsem jasnosti v mišljenju in prekinitev s folklornim prepričanjem, da more dati država, česar človek z delom ne zasluži. Ko bo to jasno, bo zunanji dolg splahnel. Jugoslaviji pa, ki je socialistična v teoriji in v praksi, ne preostane drugega, kakor da zapusti socializem, ali pa seže po še trših totalitarnih ukrepih in sredstvih, in zatre v kali vsako željo po izboljšanju razmer in po svobodi. Vzroke sedanjega gospodarskega neravnovesja je iskati v političnih odločitvah preteklosti, pa najsi gre za oboroževanje, za socializacijo gospodarstva, za notranjo podporo in socialno skrbstvo v posameznih državah, ali za zunanjo podporo nerazvitim in gospodarsko neuspešnim deželam. Tako bodo tudi posledice bodočih gospodarskih ukrepov, ali njih neodgovorne odsotnosti, končno vidne na političnem področju.

AMERIŠKA DOMOVINA, AUGUST 9, 1985 Memo from Marielinp § by MADELINE DEBEVEC ^ Eda Vovk Pusl, < choreographer of the Slove-> nian Folklore Institute of O America stated this week, q “For 20 years I have dreamed Q about staging a grand produc- < tion of a Slovenian Peasant •co Wedding on stage in £ America.” This weekend her dreams will become reality at the AMLA Recreation Center when her folkdancers will re-enact the old country wedding complete with the groom arriving, with his family, on horseback. Eda recalled that since she was five years old she knew more that 100 Slovenian folk songs that she learned from the 80 and 90 year old ladies and gentlemen singing as they sat on their benches in front of their homes in the remote villages of Slovenia on a Sunday afternoon. Eda says, “Devotion and national pride make me dedicate my life in this new world so that American Slovenians and persons of the new world will have an idea of why the 2,000 year old Slovenian heritage has survived through the hardest times in history.” The vivacious woman further explains, “The most essential reason that I am involved in the Slovenian folk arts is to implement the spark of fire that will burn in the future of our young generations. The flame will carry on with respect, pride, dedication and sacrifice with the most unique, ancestoral, rich, motif traditions. “In my ethnochoreqgraphi-cal mosaic I have tried to unite countless traditions of all Slovenian people from all the regions in motifs, costumes, music and recitals. “This weekend our young Slovenian Americans and Canadian youth will bring to life for everyone not only a culture but an excitement for young and old. So, parents, bring your children; grandparents bring your grandchildren so they can also take these precious moments home with them and realize what it might have been like at the wedding of their parents, grandparents, etc. in Slovenia. This is the most precious present you can give anyone in your life. If you really love them, they will love you for it,” said the enthusiastic Eda Vovk Pusl. * * * The SJovene Home for the Aged Auxiliary is sponsoring a “Lucky 13 Card Party” on Friday, Sept. 13 at 7:00 p.m. at St. Mary’s Baraga Hall, 15519 Holmes Ave. Donation is $2.00 a ticket.

License plates from Missouri, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, New York, and Florida were in evidence. A very large contingent of autos were from Ontario and several from Quebec. A total of more than 200 cars were parked at Pristava. Ceremonies began with a stately formal procession of banners to the open air altar at Eagle Summit. The holy sacrifice of the Mass was offered by the Rev. Frank Kosem assisted by the Rt. Rev. Msgr. Louis B. Baznik. The memorial Mass was offered in honor of all the fallen Slovenian victims of World War II, the revolution in Slovenia, the Slovenian boys who died in Viet-Nam, together with all the displaced Slovenian persons, including those who had died on foreign soils. The theme of Fr. Kosem’s sermon was hope. Hope for a better world filled with love not hatred. ^ have three days of ac- dav a lined up- °n Wednes-the o:U8ust 14th, we travel to u Picnic Grounds on j0 a a P°ad in Kirtland, to en-Wjt,an afternoon of socializing Sin, m.embers of the combined tj0n en'an Clubs of the Federa-Rem and our many friends. t0 i^ber, the affair is open a b ‘ 0Ur Club has chartered jteedS to accommodate those in Dear transportation.

Ann Zaucha, studio anged a visit to a TV Over 1,000 people were in attendance. All had personal stories to tell of their experiences during and after the war. Some came from as far away as England and Australia. Mirko Javornik, the famous writer and journalist from Washington, was noticed. An eye-witness of the Vetrinj Tragedy, a mere lad of 17 at the time, discussed his narrow escape from the fate of fellow prisoners. KSKJers were there, for example Regional Director Joseph Hočevar and his brother, John. There was a noticeable lack of young people. Even first generation Slovenian Americans were totally absent. Conspicious by their absence were our radio and TV personalities. Have you ever heard or seen them mention or discuss the terrible Vetrinj Tragedy? Of course not. They could care less about this trifling slaughter of 12,000 Slovenians, mostly the flower of Slovenia’s youth. James and Madeline Debevec of Ameriška Domovina were there observing and taking pictures for the paper. Most disappointing was the failure of Count Nikolai Tolstoi’s appearance. Plane connections during the height of the recent hostage crisis prevented the author of the revealing article, “The Klagenfurt Conspiracy” from joining the group. The sad day started out with threatening weather. As the day wore on, it gave way to a beautiful cool sunny afternoon, ideal for celebration in the country. And while the occasion was solemn and dignified, it was a joyful event, too, for those who reminisced about the terrible times and the loss of relatives and friends and acquaintances. To what purpose? Was Slovenia any better off for all the horror? Nevertheless it was good to be happy and contented in a free country like America.

Recently, a Norwegian friend, editor of one of their top magazines, telephoned me. He mentioned in passing that he had met the Yugoslav Ambassador to Norway at a reception, and mentioned to him that my book was coming out quite soon. “We know that — and we don’t like it at all,” was the reply! Publication date will, 1 imagine, be in the early months of 1986, but I will keep you posted as to details. I have a whole chapter on the Kočevje massacre, drawing extensively on the material you all provided me with when I came over last time. Above all, I think I have shown in detail why the British behaved as they did, with Harold Macmillan’s sinister links to SMERSH and OZNA highlighted. I do hope you will forgive my unexpected non-appearance, for apart from our common interest in exposing the truth about the betrayal and massacres, I greatly admire the Slovenian people and value your friendship. I also hope that there will be an opportunity for us all to meet again before long. I am very sorry to hear that some people doubted whether I intended to come in the first place. Please assure them that I had every intention, and was only prevented by the unpleasant accident I have described. If it helps, please publish any part of this letter in explanation.

What you are most likely feeling is an arrhythmia, or interruption of the normal, steady beating of the heart. Arrhythmias are not unusual in the general population and are increased in frequency by both caffeinated beverages and alcohol. These rhythm disturbances also cause a sinking feeling in the stomach or a rising sensation in the throat. These isolated skipped beats do not automatically mean the heart is diseased. But while these electrical anomalies are not usually serious, some can be serious and even life-threatening. Heart specialists distinguish between two major types of arrhythmias depending upon whether they arise in the upper or the lower chambers of the heart. Diagnosis and treatment can differ depending on which type is identified. Doctors distinguish between the two by obtaining electrocardiographic readings of the beating heart. If an arrhythmia is detected in the upper — or atrial — chambers this may mean there is an electrical disturbance associated with a condition effecting the mechanical closure of inlet valves into a lower chamber of the heart. Physicians refer to this condition as mitral valve prolapse. People with this condition are especially susceptible to arrhythmias when under emotional or biologicl stresses. Dietary problems can also lead to atrial heart skips. For example, diabetics who are taking certain types of medications for high blood pressure can lose potassium from their blood; potassium is necessary for a normal heart rhythm. Lower-chamber, or ventricular, arrhythmias can also result from low potassium levels or from mitral valve prolapse. But in this lower muscular region of the heart from which blood is squeezed to the rest of the body it is important to differentiate between those people with innocent skipped heartbeats and those with dangerous arrhy thmias. This can be done with a 24-hour electrical recording of the heart on a portable tape recorder. Two to .five premature beats in a row identifies a person as being at risk for the very serious condition of malignant arrhythmia. Pain over a broad area of the chest accompanying ventricular arrhythmia can mean additional heart disease, including hardening of the arteries feeding the heart. Treatment varies according to type and degree of arrhythmia. Dietary adjustments, such as adding potassium, reducing alcohol and cigarette consumption, and switching to decaffeinated coffee, can all help to ameliorate benign arrhythmia. For more serious arrhythmias associated with heart disease, a doctor will prescribe specific medications. Heart palpitations are not uncommon and usually are not serious. But they can indicate problems and so should be brought to the attention of your doctor. If the arrhythmias are accompanied by chest pains, contact your doctor immediately. I jog about five miles to three miles three times a week. Should I be worried about bone fatigue and stress fractures? Many people could be at risk for developing a stress fracture. Distance running and basketball, which demand numerous repetitive actions, place enoumous strain on bones and can eventually result in bone fatigue or stress fractures. A stress fracture, at one time called a fatigue fracture or a march fracture—because the injury was first noticed in military recruits-is a minute crack in the bone which comes about not because of any major traumatic episode, but because of the continued stressful use of the foot or leg. The bone does not separate or get out of position. Generally, stress fractures occur in the bones of the lower extremity. Specifically these include the metatarsal bones of the foot, the fibula, which is the slender longitudinal bone of the leg and the tibia, the stronger bone of the leg, and the oscalcis, or the heel bone. Stress fractures involving 3 bones other than those of the £ lower extremity are quite rare. ^ Stress fractures have been g found in the first rib in certain ^ athletes who use the upper ex- O tremities constantly, such as ^ rowers and tennis players. > Gymnasts may develop stress' fractures of the forearm and c even of the back. Once again, these are rare compared to cn stress fractures of the lowerH extremities. Stress fractures may develop co in people who suddenly in- ^ crease thier physical activity level. Changing jogging distance from three to six miles, for instance, may place strains on legs unprepared for the increased mileage. Pain is the first symptom of a stress fracture. The pain is localized with some soft-tissue swelling. A runner may notice that walking is easy but running is extremely painful. Initial x-rays of the stress fracture are usually negative, making diagnosis difficult. Later reexamination of the injured area may show healing on x-ray. In some cases the physician may do a bone scan to confirm the clinical diagnosis. The usual treatment is to stop the activity believed to have caused the injury. A metatarsal break, for example, requires no cast and about 6 to 10 weeks of healing. A runner should swim or bicycle to maintain conditioning while the stress fracture is healing. Once the tenderness is gone, the athlete should ease back into activity. Bone, a living and dynamic tissue, must be allowed to accommodate the stresses being put upon it.

Co-chairman for Slak (216) 181-7512 Lojze Slak Folklore Festival at AMLA Aug. 10 & H Bring your family Saturday and Sunday, Aug. 10 and 11 to AMLA Recreation Center in Leroy, Ohio, where there will be a lot of fun for everyone. Come to the Festival of Slovene Folklore where you will enjoy colorful folkloric dancers from United States and Canada. For two days there will be over 10 popular orchestras playing for your enjoyment both before and after the performances. Special feature this year will be the pageant of the Peasant Wedding of the old world of Slovenia with all its customs and traditions. These weddings as once celebrated in Slovenia would last a whole week. Kmečka Ohcet at AMLA will last only two days, but it will portray all the typical original customs that our people respected and preserved through 1,000 years of Slovene history. Most of these rituals are today described only in books that our young generations most likely don’t bother to read, since the endless modern loud rhythm and rough sports keeps them too occupied. Bride will be from the region of Bela Krajina, the groom will be from Koroško. The ceremonies will introduce unique traditions from all Slovenian regions with music, customs and motifs. Kmečka Ohcet is choreographed so that it is like a mosaic of all Slovenian people, since in American we have people from all the regions and everyone will see the traditions of this particular region. Parents and grandparents, we urge you to bring your whole families and witness right here in America the real old world ling that once was. ce such a celebration calls Darticipation by everyo*1® ire inviting you to com sed in your nationa ime or a dečva, let u* :her give inspiration an t of togetherness to ou ig.
