Konferenca med vojaškimi governerji se razbila
2IVILSKA KRIZA SE POOSTRILA
' Now York. 6. jul. — General Dwight D. Eisenhower je sinoči izjavil, da ne more sprejeti nominacije za kateri koli javni u-rad. Izjava je mrzel curek vode na nekatere voditelje demokratske stranke, ki so upali, da bo sprejel nominacijo kot kandidat za predsednika Združenih držav. Konvencija demokratske stranke se bo pričela 12. julija v Philadelphiji.'
Ali bo izjava generala končala gibanje, da postane kandidat, še ni jasno. "Jaz se ne bom v tem času identificiral z nobeno politično stranko in ne sprejel nominacije za političen urad in ne udeležil strankarske politične tekme," je rekel Eisenhower.
Eisenhower je predsednik univerze Columbije v h/ew Yorku.-Svoje mnenje je izrazil v spomenici, katero je naslovil Robertu Harronu, direktorju divizije za javne odnošaje. Harron je potem informiral časnikarje o izjavi.
Gibanje, da Eisenhower postane predsedniški kandidat, so sprožili nekateri voditelji demokratske stranke, ki hočejo izlo~ čiti Trumana, čeprav je slednji izjavil, da bo npminiran pri prvem glasovanju na konvenciji demokratske stranke. Izjava generala jih je razočarala. James Roosevelt, sin pokojnega predsednika, je ustvaril zmoten vtis med demokrati, ko je izjavil, da bo Eisenhower sprejel nominacijo.
Belgrad naznanil skle• nitev dogovora z Bolgarijo
KOMUNISTI POVAB. LJENI NA KONGRES
Berlin. 6. jul,—Maršal Vasilij D. Sokolovski, ruski vojaški poveljnik, je namignil, da se bo sovjetska blokada zapadnega Berlina nadaljevala, ko se je sestal z vojaškimi governerji za-padnih držav. Konference so se udeležili Sokolovski, ameriški vojaški governer Lucius D. Clay, britski vojaški governer Brian Robertson in Roger Noiret, francoski vojaški podgovernfer. Konferenca se je razbila, ko je Sokolovski odbil predlog, naj določi datum za preklic blokade.
Clay je priznal, da se je živilska kriza poostrila v zapadnem Berlinu zaradi ruske blokade. "Transportna letala bodo še nadalje dovažala živila in druge potrebščine prebivalcem v zapadnem Berlinu," je dejal. "Upam, da se nam bo Francija pridružila in sodelovala z nami v vseh ozirih."
Konferenca se je vršila v vili v Babelsbergu, berlinskem predmestju, ki je bila lastnina bivšega nemškega prestolonaslednika. Besednik ameriškega vojaškega governerja je dejal, da je bil ruski maršal informiran o resnosti živilske krize in blokade. Sokolovski je odgovoril, da je bila blokada odrejena,, ker so zapadne sile uveljavile denarne reforme v svojih okupacijskih conah. Razgovori so se vršili v prijateljski atmosferi, toda situacija se ni spremenila.
Zapadne države se bodo morda obrnile direktno do Kremli-na za rešitev problema. Baje so sestavile protest, ki pa še ni bil poslan Moskvi.
List Neue Zeitung, ki izhaja v ameriški okupacijski coni, poroča, da bodo ruske oblasti okli-cale tudi trgovinski bojkot proti zapadnim državam in prevzeli mestno vlado v Berlinu, katero tvorijo reprezentanti štirih velesil. Nemški komunisti nagla-Šajo, da živila, katera dovažajo letala prebivalcem zapadnega Berlina, ne bodo rešila problema, ker je ruska blokada učinkovita.
Bolfrad. 6. jul.—Nov dokaz, da jugoslovanska ljudstva podpirajo maršala Tita v kontrover-zi s Kominformo, je niznanilo, da je bila zbrana vaota $50,000,-000 za narodno posojilo $70,000,-000, Borba, glasilo jugoslovanske komunistične stranke, pravi, da je bila vsota zbrana v petih dneh po razpisu posojila.
Poročilo iz Bukarešte, Rumu nija, pravi, da so ae člani Ko-minforme sestali tamkaj in razpravljali o kontroverzi i maršalom Titom. Vodstvo Komlnfor-me je zadnji teden obdolžilo Ti* ta In druge komuniste, da so se izneverili Marks Leninovi liniji in da se hočejo nasloniti na zapadne države.
Jugoslovanski listi so napolnjeni s poročili o izražanju lojalnosti maršalu Titu. Milovan bjilaa, besednik komunistične stranke, je v Borbi objavil članek, v katerem naglaša, "da Jugoslavija ni osamljena, ker ve, da je Sovjetska unija ne bo zapustila v njenih odnošajlh i Im-perialisti. Sovjetska unija vodi protiimperialistlčno politiko in Jugoslavija podpira to politiko."
Krajevni odbori komunlatlčne stranke pošiljajo porodila v Bel* grad z izjavami, da so lojalni Titu. Organizacija vojnih Invalidov in jugoslovanski diplomati v več državah so med onimi, ki zagotavljajo podporo Titovemu režimu,
Časniška agentura Tanjug Je naznanila sklenitev dogovora glede kulturne kooperacije med Jugoslavijo in Bolgarijo. To po meni, da diplomatični odnošaji med ' državama niso prizadeti, čeprav Je Bolgarija podprla Kominformo.
Agentura poroča, da je Jugoslavija povabila komunistične stranke, naj pošljejo reprezen-tunte na kongres jugoslovanske komunistične stranka, ki se bo sekta 1 v Helgradu 21, Julija. Povabilo je sledilo naznanilu, da je Albanija pretrgala trgovinske odnoiaje z Jugoslavijo in po zvalu maršala Tita, naj takoj odpokliče vojaške, ekonomske in kulturne misije iz dežele.
Komunisti poraženi pri volitvah na Finskim
Helsinki, Finska, 0. Jul,-Ko-munlatična atranka je bila poražena pri volitvah. Poročila javljajo, da bo imela samo 97 i/ med 200 sedežev v parlamentu.

Ne sledimo noju!
Živimo v dobi, ko v svetovni politiki odmeva kriza za krizo, do ma pa se stopnjuje reakcija. Namesto da bi gradili mir in delovali za srečo in blagostanje človeštva, se mrzlično oborožujemo in pripravljamo na novo vojno, v kateri atomska bomba ne bo najstrašnejše orožje, kakor pravijo nekateri veščaki, Atomska bomba je danes baje že na četrtem mestu po svoji uničevalnosti. Vojaške sile. zlasti Amerika, danes baje že posedujejo tri bolj učinkovite morilne stroje ali kemikalije nego je atomska bomba.
Res dobra tolažba za nas in naše potomce! Namesto da bi upo-slili znanstvenike pri raziskavah, od katerih bi imelo koristi Človeštvo, na primer na polju zdravstva in prehrane in stanovanj <n reševanju socialnih pa gospodarskih problemov, jih silimo v labo ratorije in arzenale z nalogo, da iznajdejo čim hujše strupene pline in bakterije in čim bolj strašno morilno orožje, Denarja za to ne manjka. Na drugi strani pa ni denarja za to, kar bi koristilo človeštvu. Ni ga za moderniziranje naših mest in podeželja s podiranjem slumov in preskrbo prebivalstva, revnega kot bogatega, c udobnimi stanovanji in čednimi okoliši, v katerih bi se otroci lahko razvijali v duševno in telesno zdrave državljane. Denarja tudi zelo primanjkuje za šolstvo, ki se iz leta v leto pomiče v veliko krizo, ker je radi nizke plače veliko pomanjkanje kvalificiranih učiteljev in učiteljic. Denarja tudi ni za gradnjo civilnih bolnišnic in klinik, brez katerih je okrog 40' i okrajev širom dežele.
Denarja tudi ni za prejaotrebne zdravstvene raziskave za lečenje raznih pernicijskih bolezni, na primer protina (arthritis—neke vrste revma), ki je postala najhujša bolezen v deželi —- ne samo y Ameriki, marveč tudi v Evropi. Po številu bolnikov je na prvem mestu, v zdravljenju pa na zadnjem. Ta bolezen je hujša od raka, kajti človeka, mladega ali starega, lahko pohabi za vse življenje, da je v napol je sebi in drugim. Na drugi strani je zdravniška veda že toliko napredovala, da raka odpravi, ako ga dobi v začetnem štadiju. Denarja tudi ni za starostno pokojnino, s katero bi se delaVec ob svojem zatonu lahko vsij za silo preživljal. ¿In denarja ni še za neštete druge potrebne stvari. Dovolj pa ga je za militarizem, in sicer ne samo v Ameriki, marveč tudi v razbiti Evropi In Rusiji In drugih revnih deželah. Cim več denarja za militarizem In vojno — preteklo In bodočo — toliko več mlzerlje med delovnim ljudstvom. In to zlasti v revnih deželah.

S takimi priredbami je dosti dela in truda, toda tudi letos so pridni društvenikl pokazali, da so kos svoji nalogi. Na pikniku smo se srečali z mnogi našimi prijatelji in znanci, a njih imen ne morem omeniti, ker jih je preveč.
Zdaj pa opozarjam na piknik Westmorelandske federacije, ki ie bo vršil 18. julija v Beech-vvood-parku. Vabimo vse članstvo SNPJ od blizu In daleč. Za ples bo igrala izvrstna godba Frank Trio, od treh do petih popoldne pa bomo imeli program. Kot govornika bosta nastopila Joseph Culkar, drugi gl. podpredsednik SNPJ, in Frank Gra-iišek, podpredsednik drugega distrikta
Nekaj pesmi bo zapel mladlo-<ki krožek, št. 61, iz Latroba. Povabili smo ludl krožek iz Her-mlnleja, a do danes še nismo dobili odgovora, torej nisem gotova, ali bo nastopil ali ne. ,
Torej program bo pester, zato pridite v velikem številu. Odbor bo vsem dobro postregel. Ob sedmih /vtčer pa bo zopet pričel Igrati orkestet. Vstopni na za ples bo popoldne 25c. zvečer pa 75c.

Na svetu je mnogo ljudi in tudi med nami, ki pravijo: kaj nas vse* to briga? In res se ne brigajo. Milijone jih je, ki se ne brigajo za drugega kakor za to, da so siti, da so lepo oblečeni, da imajo "good tirne" in da gredo na "ride" 60 in več milj na uro, povsem brezbrižni, da z divjo voinjo ogrožajo sebe in druge, To je sploh največji vzrok za masno ubijanje in pohabljanja ljudi na cestah. Prav kar minuli prazniki so zahtevali preko 250 življenj na cestah, vseh skupaj pa čez 500.
So zopet drugi milijoni, ki se zanimajo za probleme in vprašanja, katere smo prej omenili. Toda svoje "znanje" črpaj6 iz virov, ki so povsem nezanesljivi in namenoma zavajalni. Tem virom, namenoma zavajalni propagandi smo izpostavljeni vsi, zlasti še v tej deželi, kjer bobni dan za dnem. večer za večerom po radiu in tisku. Dobre revije in dobri listi so redki In z majhno naklado. Pretežna večina tiska, dnevnega in periodičnega, je "loaded": /.uvajalna. Isto je z radijem, ki je enako v službi pro pagande, Ako človek ni kritično orientiran, ako ne zna izbirati med Ijuljko in pšenico, med zrnjem in plevami, med resnico in potvarjanjem — ako ne zna sam misliti, bo nasedel propagandi in ob nji tudi u>ival.
Med nami »o tudi ljudje, ki pravijo, naj se ne brigamo za drugega kakor za lastno oiganizacijo, v našem primeru /a lastne podporne organizacije. Za drugo t>e ne brigajrno. V nušl jednotl med našimi starejšimi člani, ki so že šli skozi življenje in njegove izkušnje ter šole, teh ljudi sicer ni veliko, zlasti ne med onimi, ki čltajo Prosveto in druge napredne liste. Več pa jih Je meti mlaj šo, tukaj rojeno gencraeijo. Vzroki so seveda različni in številni Ustavimo se nekoliko pri tej skupini.
Kdor misli, da se članstvu in voditeljem ni treba brigati za drugo nego za lastno organizacijo, pa hilu |K>d|>orna ali drugačna, jc podoben ptiču noju, ki vtakne gluvo v pesek, ko vidi, da se mu bliža nevsrn<»st Naša jednola sevniu ni bila zgrajena na tem "principu" in ga tudi ne piaktielra Zato se je ludl razvila v naj večjo in v najbolj vplivno organi/anjo med nami. Kos življenj-sklm nalogam more biti le inteligentna, dulekovidna in borbeni organizacija, to je inteligentno, dalekovidno in borbeno članstvr In vodstvo. Vse troje je potrebno, Kjer ni boibenostl in hrbtenice, tam tudi inteligenca in dalekovidnost dosti ne pomeni.
Kdor misli, da lahko vtaknemo glavo v |>c»ck, to je kot posa inezniki alt kot otganizacija in lx» vse dobro, se zelo, zelo moti. Ako pride do novega svetovnega po/ara, na kateiega se blazne pripiavljata oba svetova, zlasti na Amerika s svojim ogromnim oboroževanjem, tedaj je gotovo to, <ia vse. kar smo si zgradili in prihranili posamezno ali kolektivno /a stare dni ali za slučaj bolezni—vse to ne l*o vredno piškavega oreha. Ako naša mesta in domovi ne bodo zleteli v zrak ali izginili v plamenih, bo izginilo v plamenih pa drugo bogastvo te dežele, tudi prete>na večina premoženja vseh p<»dpornih organizacij in privatnih tnšuren-cov. V zrak bodo šla tudi premoženja |x»sameznikov, malih in srednjih ljudi. Cr pride do nove katastrofe, v katero danes slepo divi vsa tako zvana zapadna civilizacija in katero si blazni ljudje tudi žele iz golega soviaštva do Kusije in komunizma, bo ta katastrofa zahtevala še vetje žrtve kakor jih je zahtevala zadnja vojna. Ampak zato »e svet ne zanima, čeprav se sklicuje na krščanstvo, V vojni je žlvhenie pat- naimanj vredno Enostavno padeš za — domovino . . Sicer bi bilo t>olj pametno ako bi živel zanjo, živel zanjo kot človek, ne kot blaznež.
DRUŠTVENA VEST
Buhl. Mlnn. — Članstvu društva 314 SNPJ naznanjam, da sem prevzela tajništvo s 1. julijem, ker je prejšnji tajnik Ru-dolph Kovacich radi slabega zdravja podal resignacijo na redni seji dne 15. maja.
Na isti seji je bilo tudi sklenjeno. da mora v mesecu juliju vsak član plačati 25c v društveno blagajno. Nekaj članov še ni plačalo društvene naklade, to so tisti, ki so imeli plačan asesment za 6 mesecev, dva pa za vae le to, zato jih opominjam, da to upoštevajo. Tako ie bilo sklenjeno na zadnji seji. 19 Junija, namreč da lahko plačajo meeeca Julija.
Naalov je isti. samo ime Je spremenjeno, mesto Rudni ph j* sedal France«.
France« Kovacich. tajnica.
Torej kdor st ne želi samomora velikega dela človaitva. kdor je proti tej usodni zablodi, ne bo tiščal glave v pesku in tudi ne sledil onim krivim prerokom, ki zagovarjalo politiko, kate ra neizbežno vodi v novo katastrofo, kakršne zgodovina človcitva še ne pozna. Vse to seveda ne pomeni, da lahko zanemarjamo na ta društva in našo jednoto. Oprijeti se je moramo š« toliko bolj in ji v te) kampanji tudi pridobivati novth članov, kajti naša jednota stoji čvrsto v vrstah onih organizacij in posameznikov, ki se bore proti samomoru, proti največji katastrofi, ki groci človeštvu.

Chicago. 111.—članstvu tv* Slavij« 1 SNPJ naznanjam, da se bo vršila redna mesečna seja v petek, 9. jul^a, v spodnji
dvorani SNPJ, začetek ob osmih zvečer; asesment bom pričel pobirati že ob sedmih, kakor po navadi.
Udeležite se seje v velikem številu, ker bomo imeli vet Važni H zadev rta dnevnem redu. Razpravljali bomo tudi o pri-pravafc za našo 45-letnieo, katero bomo proslavljali drugo nedeljo .v mesecu oktobru. Slavijo j* matično društvo naše velike SNPJ, zato se bo moralo potruditi vse članstvo, tako da bo ta važna obletnica res impozant-na proslava. Na proslavo smo povabili tudi pevč* in pevke zbora Zarje iz Clevelanda, kateri se bodo gotovo odzvali. Sicer pa je še nekaj mesecev do te priredbe, zato boste še dosti čl-tali o njej.
Ko sem fe pri priredbi društva Slavije, naj rtaäe članstvo opozorim na piknik pionirskega društva Delavec 8 SNPJ, ki se bo vršil 11. julija. Čitajte naznanilo br. Josipa Kosicha na drugem mestu današnje Prosve-te. "Delavci" so dobri društveni!«, zato zaslužijo uvaževanje nas vseh. Nedeljo poznej«, 18. julija, pa bodo imeli piknik naši "Sosedje" iz Cicera. Citajte dopis Katke Zupančičeve, ki je članica tegg društva, v katerem prijazno vabi na piknik "Sosedov". P*av tako ne smemo pozabiti piknika kluba Št. I JSZ. O tem pikniku čitajte vabilo Louisa Zorkota, tajnika tega kluba. Torej bomo imeli dosti prilik za zabavo v prosti naravi. Prihodnji mesec, 7. avgusta, bodo pa zopet imeli veliki piknik Pionirji v Pilsenovem parku. Na piknik Pionirjev prihiti mnogo članov SNPJ ne samo iz Chica-ga, ampak tudi iz sosednjih držav.. . '	,
Nekoliko o naših bolnikih. Na bolniški listi so: Anton Kuk-man, ki se še vedno zdravi v Floridi, Mary Samek, Mike Sifrar, Frank Rakovic, Leonora Ferek in John Težak. Obiščite jih! Frank Mautz, ki se je moral podvreči težki operaciji, se je pa že javil zdravega, prav tako Henry Krebel.
Sedaj je v teku kampanja in potrebno je, da se vsi potrudimo Za nove člane. Naša kvota ni ta ko velika in če se bomo vsaj malo potrudili, jo bomo dosegli.
Sedaj pa nekoliko o koopgra-ciji s tajnikom. Mnogi člani pošiljajo asesment po pošti in za htevajo, da jim pošljem potrdilo To daje tajniku samo nepotrebno delo, katerega ima že brez te ga dovolj, in stroške. Vaše potr dilo je kupon poštne nakaznice ali pa čeka. Dalje opozarjam tiste člane, ki nakažejo denar za asesment s tako zvanimi poštnimi notami (postal note), da bi nakazali na ime "Slovene National Benefit Society" mesto na moje ime, kajti te poštne note ni mogoče prenesti na drugo osebo, ampak so izmenljive samo na pošti. radi tega imam samo nepotrebno delo, ko moram vsako tako poštno noto izmenjati na pošti.
Se na nekaj bi opozoril člane. kateri pošiljajo asesment po • poŠti. Glejte, da pošljete pravilno vsoto. Nemalokrat se zgodi, c*a s» ta aH oni član uraturia in pošlje premalo, kar zopet da nepotrebno delo tajniku.
Se nekaj bi rad omenil, dasi-ravno ne spada direktno v Sla-vijlno kolono. Zadnjo »redo je Mla objavljena v angleški nek-ctji Prosvete resignacija sestre Ann Sannemann kot voditeljice krožka 28 SNPJ. Ann, n>en mož Bob in hčerka RobAnn so člani <fruštva Slavi)e, prav tako več vodilnih članov in članic tega krožka Sestra Sannemann ae . je mnogo let trudila s tem krožkom in žela velike uspehe Ta krožek je vsa ta leta bogatel programe naših priredb in podal mnogo uspešnih lastnih priredb Paktltno danes nimamo v Chicago nobene druge kulturne sko-pine kot pevski «bor Prešeren m Imenovan i
krožek Z reaigna-cijo Ann Sannemann bo najbr-
že nastala velika vrzel pri krožku. Kot tajnik društva št. 1 in predsednik federacije izražam upanje, da bo ses. Sannemann na kakšen način našla pot, ki bi ji omogočila še nadaljnje vodstvo krožka 2« SNPJ.
Na koncu pa ponovno vabim na sejo društva Slavi je ta petek!

SMRT ZASLUŽENEGA ČLANA SNPJ
Cloveland, O. — Na žalost sem moral 27. junija zapisati v moj dnevnik vest o smrti priljubljenega društvenika in člana društva 53 SNPJ Franka Po-lanca, ki ga je neizprosna smrt poklicala k sebi radi rudarske jetike, ki se je je nalezel kot star premogar.
nja, saj to tudi priča civilen pogreb!
Takih mož kot je bil Frank Polanc jako pogrešamo pri društvih, ko jih izgubimo iz naše srede. Naj v miru počiva nai pokojni brat in lahka mu naj bo ameriška zemlja! V imenu društva izrekam globoko sožalje u-žaloščeni družini!
Članstvu društva 53 na znanje, da se bo vršila seja 11. julija, kakor običajno. Piknik pa bo imeli 18. julija na farmi SNPJ. Ne pozabite na ta piknik, ker je to vaš piknik!

Theodore H. While
Frank Polanc se je rodil v Malkovcu pri Mokronogu. Očetu je bilo tudi ime Franc, materi pa Antonija. Leta 100« pa je došel k stricu v Johnstown, Pa., in pričel delati v tovarni. Leta 1916 pa se je poročil z Anno Bombač, doma iz Notranjske. Že v letu 1917 se je preselil v McDonald, kjer je pomagal u-stanoviti društvo. Ne smemo pozabiti, da je bil član SNPJ in SSPZ in reporter ni vprašal, kam je po ustanovitvi spadalo to društvo, kajti sedaj spadajo tako vsa bivša društva SSPZ k SNPJ.
Potem se je preselil v Pierce-Thomas, kjer je bil tajnik društva. Pomagal je tudi ustanovit ti angleško poslujoče društvo, to menda v Phillippi. Bil je tudi voditelj vrtca. Bil je ves čas delaven v naselbinah po West Virgin! j i, leta 1941 pa se je z družino preselil v Cleveland in prestopili so vsi k št. 53. Da, pokojni Polanc si je stekel veliko zaslug pri SNPJ!
Pokopan je bil 30. junija. Dru štveni bratje smo storili svojo bratsko dolžnost in smo se udeležili civilnega pogreba na High land-pokopališee. Pogreb se je vršil pod vodstvom pogrebnega zavoda Joseph Žele in sinovi. Nosilci so bili: Peter Bukovnik. Joe Durn (ker eden ni mogel priti ob pravem času, ga je on nadomestil), John Krašna, Joe Poznič, George Turek in Mike Urek. Pogreba se je udeležil tudi njegov stric John Polanc iz Johnstowna, Pa., s hčerjo, prav tako John Ljubevšek iz Johns-tona, ki je tudi Frankov sorodnik. Predstavil se mi je tudi Bombač, brat Ane Polanc, a sem pozabil vprašati, od kod je pri šel.
Pokojni Frank Polanc zapušča ženo Ano, sinove Johna, Franka in Edwarda (slednji služi v mornarici in je prišel na pogreb i i San Diega, Cal.), dalje hčeri Anno Golub in Sophie Grkman, vnuke Johnnyja, Raymonda in Undo, v Maikovcu v Sloveniji pa pol sestrično Mici Majcen.

PIKNIK V KORIST PROLETARCA
Chicago. 111. — Socialističen klub št. 1 JSZ prireja piknik v soboto večer 17. julija pri Ke-gelu v Willow Springsu. Dobiček tega piknika bo šel v pod poro Proletarcu, katerega so izredne razmere potisnile v kritično finančno krizo. Cene v tiskarni so se podražile za nad sto procentov, naročnina je pa še ista kot je bila pred vojno. Dolg v tiskarni se viša in z rednimi dohodki se ga ne bo nikdar pokrilo. Zato so potrebni izredni finančni viri. In ta piknik, ki ga klub prireja v soboto 17. julija, če bo uspešen, bo en način, kako poravnati dolg, ne da bi trpela moralna stran lista.
Na piknik vabimo vse naročnike in prijatelje delavskega tiska v Chicagu in okoliških naselbin. Imeli bomo irboren orkester, in sicer Joea Kovicha in njegove muzikante. Za lačne bodo skrbela članice kluba, za žejne Biz jakov France in tisti, katerim bo on zaupal.* Le pridite in se bo ste zabavali med svojimi in Pro-letarčevemi prijatelji. Na «vi denje v soboto, 17. julija!

Pari«. 29. junija (ONA).—Neki absolutno zanaaljh' uradnik t Balkana, ki je doapel zadnji teden iz Jugoslavije v Pariz, je izjavil, da niso vodilni člani jugoslovanske vlade in prav tako ne jugoslovanski osrednji odbor komunistične stranke niti najmanj pričakovali ostre denun-ciacije, ki jo je izrekla pretekli teden Kominforma proti njim in maršalu Titu. I Ta uradnik, ki je imel stalne in prijateljske stike s Titovo vlado zadnjih šest let, je dejal, de je bil sicer eksekutivni odbor jugoslovanake komunistične stranke zaskrbljen radi ruako-jugoslovanskega nesporazuma, toda ni niti od deleč predvideval bližajoče se krise.
Te difirence so vsakojake ln se v glavnem zrcaJijo v tem:
Prvič: Titovo prizadevanje, da bi dosegel direktni sporazum z Georgijem Dimitrovem, bolgarskim komunističnim vodjo, za ustanovitev balkanske zveze ali federacije, ki naj bi vključevala tudi Poljsko in Čehoslo-vaško. Toda v takem bloku, ki bi zajel 100,000,000 duš, vidijo Rusi potencialno premočno in preveč neodvisno enoto, da bi bila v skladu s sovjetsko zunanjo politiko.
Drugič: Jugoslovanski komu nisti so bili vznemirjeni radi naraščajoče hladnosti med Stali nom in Titom, kar pripisujejo Stalinovi ljubosumnosti, boječ se, da bi se plasirala na površje kakšna slikovita in močna osebnost v slovanskem bloku.
Tretjič: Kresanje radi jugo-slovansko-ruskih trgovskih od nosih, to pa iz razloga, ker Rusi zahtevajo jugoslovanske dobri ne po matematično preračunanih najnižjih cenah, na drugi strani pa zahtevajo najvišje cene za produkte, ki jih izvažajo v Jugoslavijo.
Četrtič: Jugoslovanskim komunistom ja prišlo na uho, da so se Rusi odločilf Ba premesti ttv glavnega stenrKorninforme iz Beograda v Niš, kar smatrajo za nezaupanje od strani Rusija.
Jugoslovani, se vede, ne priča kujejo popolnega preloma med Rusijo ln Jugoslavijo ln voditelji komunističnega eksekutlvne-ga odbora' v Beogradu so bili zadnji teden popolnoma mirni v veri, da bo izravnan nesporazum med njimi ln Kominformo.
Jugoslovansko ruski naspors-zum je izbruhnil ob času težke-

g« življenja, katerega je naložila špartanska disciplina, ki se danaa izvaja v Jugoslaviji v svr-ho petletnega industrijskega programa, v katerega je vloften o-gromen kapital. Ta petletka se financira na račun bede jugoslovanskega kmeta, prav tako armada, ki šteje pol milijona mol To je tudi vzrok, da jt Tito odklonil dokončno socialist-rartje kmetij, boječ se, da bi bili kmetje preveč udarjeni. V Jugoslaviji so imeli zaporedoma tri leta slabo letino ln Tito je mnenja, da bi bila popolna ko-lektlvlzaclja ob tem času preveliko breme za km«>tiško ljudstvo.
Jugoslovani so zavrnili obdoL žitev Komlnforme, da dopuščajo razvoj velikih kmetov, kajti de-nes v Jugoslaviji ne poseduje
noben kmet vtč kot 3« hektarja.
Rusi so obdolžili odmikanje marksizmu in leninizmu vse vodilne jugoslovanska komuniste, prav tako vse vodilne člane vlade, vključivši Tita, generala Rankoviča in načelnika generalnega štaba MitOVana Djllasa.
Jugoslovanska komunistična stranka ima najmanj zaslombe med kmeti, največ pa v armadi, med delavci in Študenti, če bi prišlo do odločitve, bi se posta-vilo na Titovo stran BO*« študen tov, dočim ja armada popolno ma lojalna sedanji vladi, Zvestoba kmetov pa je odvisna od letošnje letine, katera kaže zelo dobro.
Dobra letina bo doprinesla Jugoslovanom precejšnjo mero gospodarske neodvisnosti. Slad korna pesa je obilno obrodila, v zapadni Evropi pa zelo primanjkuje sladkorja, kakor drugih živil.
Če bo Tito stopal tekoče leto po samoatojni poti, potem bo lahko trgoval z zapadniml evropskimi državami pod ugodnimi pogoji ln zamenjaval slad kor, jajca, baker in les za stro-je, kater* danes Jugoslavija tako nujno potrebuje. Na ta način bi Tito več pridobil za svoj in-dustrialni program kot pa z na-daljno zvezo z Rusijo.
Moj obvestltalj ja tudi mnenje, da se bo v kratkem času Izkazalo, aH imajo Rusi danes dovolj prlstsšev v Jugoslaviji, ki bi lahko prevrnili Titov režim. SIcer pa je zelo malo zgleda, da bi se Tito pridružil deželam, ki so v družini Marshallovega na-
črta, kajti jugoslovanska komunistična stranka bi zavrnila vsak poizkus zbližanja z Zedinjenuni državami.
Z aretacijo generala Sretuna Zujeviča, ministra financ, je od stranjen naravni voditelj sil, ki bi iaclmrale tak prevrat. Zujo-vič je bil razbremenjen svojih dolžnosti fl, maja, ker se nI hotel pokoriti odlokom osrednjemu odbora komunistične stranko. Ako nimajo Rusi dqbro organizirane podtalne sile po vsej Jugoslaviji, potem so naredili z de-nunciacljo Titove vlade največjo napako v zgodovini Kominfor-me.
Nekaj podobnega se je zgodilo 1. 1902-23 v Kitajski. Teduj je izključila kominterna komunističnega voditelja Maoa T/.e tunga. Mao pa se ni hotel pokoriti Komlnternl ln šel je na delo ter organiziral svojo komunistično stranko, katera je mi tedaj postala uradna komunistična stranka na Kitajskem.
Vse kaže, da bo Tito obdržal ortodoksno marksistično stališč* ln se osvobodil Moskve za nedoločen čas.
Iz vsega tega, sklepa moj ob vestitelj, bi se dalo soditi, da so ruski dlplomatukl uradniki napravllno ocenjevali položaj v Jugoslaviji, drugače ne bi Rusija pod v zel a tak korak ob takem Času,

Ne misli, ratfitnik krvoločnih ln krvnih psov,
da te ni uliftal svet
od telsja do tečaja!
de veka v vetru pof.gani krov
ln bele k oh t i mrtvakov povsod! Ae det nspaja.
Nekoč te bo v sanjah obiskal dečjl obraz
nedolžen in ven plah,
s krvjo bodo oblita njegova lica;
ti vei, da je omahnil na generalov ukas . . .
Sturazsodbo si sam zankovikal—mrtvaika ptica!
Ne miali, ti novih morltev navduAen glasnik,
ds nismo čutili prsv vsi,
kako spet postavljaš nova veiala;
nikdar nisi videl, brezsrčen krvnik, •
ksko je msti bridko nad itnom tsleem jokala.
Pri na* pa. pri na» in povsod, kjer je »ver
utopila v človeško srce,
je aleherns msti zadrhtela
In kadar je potrkala na na*o dver.
je mati mrtvega sins t veAal v naročje vzela.
Ne miali, zagovornik podivjanih in steklih psov,
da je beseda le prazen zvok;
vse matere a veta te bodo preklele,
te niao pokrile vaeh grobov
in v tvojo razsodbo ne bodo, ne bodo verjele?
Se niao po cvetu sprhnele vrvi vseh vatel, pa si apet zalajal o smrti' V tako pravičnost le tvoj svet veruje' To )e prsvics svlnček in bodel sli: črns vrsns vrani oči ne izkljuje
Tako si vsem *ensm in materam pljunil v srce! O tebi po svetu gre črns povest? Nekoč tudi tebi bo treba umreti ,. Ne vei te resnice"* Onga, ki sojo gorje,
nihče ne bo hotel v ljubezen sprejeti!

We're hoping to see all of you from far and near. Buses will leave the SND at 2:30 and 8 pm. A special attraction at 1 will be a soft-ball game between the Reveliers and the Sygan nine.

Our congratulations to "Ruts" and Gus Rosenberger on their recent marriages to Dot Moder and Margie Levstik of the Morning Stars. Congratulations also to Mr. and Mrs. Paul Paslowski (Agnes Teks-tar) who are the proud parents of a baby boy. Uncle Joe was pretty proud, too.

juvenile anniversary campaign
news
Record Enrollment in June Assured
The Juvenile Anniversary Campaign continues to improve gradually from month to month. > Our records show that * total of 337 members were enrolled in April, the opening month of the drive. 349 in May, and the results for June, which will be reported in these columns next week, will very likely exceed the figures recorded in either of the first two months by a substantial margin.
So far, the present drive for new members is following a pattern of progress similar in many respects to the ESL 20th Anniversary Campaign of 1946, when it was not until the fourth month that we succeeded In reaching the 400 mark. We are highly expectant of attaining this goal for the first time in the Juvenile Anniversray Campaign by the end of this month.
One strange thing we have noticed about the current campaign is this. Despite the fact that we are celebrating the 35th Anniversary of the Juvenile Department and the 10th Anniversary of the Juvenile Circles this year, the enrollment of iuvenile members to date has not been very satisfactory. This certainly fa not consistent with the high birth rate of the country for the past two years.
Adding a touch of humor to the picture, statistics released by responsible officials disclose that all previous birth records were broken last year when over 4,000,000 babies were born in the United States. And to further strengthen the point of my objective, there has been no noticeable slackening of visits on the part of "Doctor Stork" in the first six months of 1948. According to the laws of average, the SNPJ should be getting at least its proportionate share of this vital increase in population. It is our conclusion, therefore, that patience will be rewarded, if not sooner than usual, then surely along about the seventh and final months of the campaign when literally hundreds of juveniles are expected to join the SNPJ fold. May every lodge succeed in obtaining its quota of new members, adults and juveniles.
• • ♦ • • •
There was a lot of action on the campaign front in District No. 1 these past two weeks, a goodly part of which was contributed by Brother John Cebular. First District Vice-President of the Supreme Board and Secretary of Lodge 284, Philadelphia. Pa., who forged into prominence with a fine gain of 8 new members, his first in this campaign. This sudden spurt reminds us of Brother Cebular's splendid work in last year's campaign in which he secured a total of 28 members.
Lucky Star Lodge 716 of Imperial, Pa., is in the news again, as Sister Polly Sladick met with further success in her house to house canvass for prospective members. Here, as in Philadelphia, 8 more new members were written up in the closing weeks of June which virtually insures the first place position for the Imperial lodge the third straight month.
Secretary Pauline Debelak and BrotherPrank Zrtmm are bearing the, brunt of the sustained drive for new members in Avella, Pa., and are' mainly responsible for keeping Lodge 292 in the running for top honors. Both lodges (716 and 292) are setting a terrific pace as we go into the closing month of the first half contest of the Juvenile Anniversary Cam paign. It would be foolhardy to predict which of these two lodges will finish «head tfrth« dthtr Wliep till of July's returns have besta smaited; You can be sure it's going to be a very close and interesting contest all the way.
The Excelsiors. Lodge 721 of Aliquippa, Pa., became the fifth lodge in its district to go over the quota. Three new member« enrolled by Sister Josephine Siruble and two by Sister Francos Eakrajsek. Directors of the local Juvenile Circle, enabled the lodge to get over the top and into a spot close behind "prize" leaders. It is now in a good position to capitalize on timely gains.
• •••••
t	r
The most spectacular gain in the second campaign district was the en rollment of 8 new members by Spartan Lodge 576, Cleveland, Ohio, whose campaign director and cqntestant is Brother Stanley Stokel. This success ful rally on the part of the Spartans has moved it ahead of all lodges in the Cleveland area and into third place in its district. At this writing it lacks only six members of attaining its quota, a figure that is sure to fall before another month has gone by.
Contestant Mary Opatrny of Lodge 640, Bridgeport, Ohio, is beginning to crowd Circle Director Mary Dermotta of Lodge 476. Salem, Ohio, for the leadership in this district as she adds 4 more new members to her credit. Incidentally, Lodge 640 and Lodge 13 of Bridgeport are pooling efforts in sponsoring a huge picnic and dance at National Park on August 1.
At Sarberton. Ohio, the Buckeyes. Lodge 626, are beginning to emerge into the campaign spotlight with a nice opening gain of 4 new members Here rrank and Vlslst Janiga. President and Secretary, respectively, have started the swing fprward in the drive to reach the lodge's quota of twelve members.
• •••••
In District No. 8 the csmpsign hss finally developed Into s sizzling, four-cornered contest. Behind the sterling work of Secretary Prances Debelak. the Badgers (564) of Milwaukee. Wis., have enrolled 9 more new members, increasing the total for three months to 27, exactly three short of the designated quota. The Badgers are in the race not only for totf honors in 4he first half, but the second half, likewise
rive additional new members secured by Secretary Mary Pahuie of Lodge 322. Chisholm, Minn., puts her within one member of attaining the aasigncd quota and makes it possible for her to retain the lead in the third district for the second month in a row. . . . Also in Chisholm, the two Franks. Brothers Klune and Kne of Lodge 110, continue their good work in the campaign by enrolling 6 more new members and now have a total of 15 to their combined credit, ten for the former and five for the latter.
A month afo. Lodge 151, Witt, Illinois, did not have a single new member to its credit in the Juvenile Anniversary Campaign. But that is not the record today, for since then Brother Ltsks Podbregar. Secretary, has been a very busy campaigner in securing at least 9 new members. We say "at least" because, actually, more than that number were enrolled by him This fine gain has projected Lodge 151 right up with the leaders, considering that its quota is only eleven We want to add that in last year's campaign this same lodge enrolled thirty new members and the year before, eighteen Yes. the contest in the third district is getting very close and hot.
• •••••
All is quiet in the fourth campaign district where Brother Jems) Okora of Lodge 225. Edison. Kansas, leads all contestants with a total of 15 new members, two more than were reported for htm two weeks ago.
Other lodges sharing In the success of the membership drive, whoae gains of three or four new members each have helped to make June the most productive month of the campaign, are as follows: Lodge 288. Fred ericktown Ps . baits 388. Virginia. Minn , Ledge 348. South Fork. Pa , Lodge 683. Semsula Rs. Lodge 689. St Louis. Mo . Lodge 882. Library,
Pa., and Ledge 688. Hutchinson. Pa

Neat week we will give you the complete standing* of lodges, as w»|f ss individual contestants, for the first three months of the Juvenile An niveraary Campaign,
Lsf us not forget that July Is the closing month of the first half of the campaign All membership applications intruded for July must be mailed to the Mam Office not later than August 8th.

When it comes to determlnstion. Comrades' oldest (young in spirit) member, Joe Zslokar has it. Hs came to the store twice to find it closed, hunted our address on the wrong street, finally found the correct house; all of this to make his fust return and request two additional books. J u e, incidentally, threstened to bowl this season. He still believes hs can take un Tony Kushlan and give him a walloping. Joe and the Mis. within a few years will be cslebrsting their golden wedding anniversary.

lets celebrate our juvenile anniversaries
This vhIi marks the beginning of the second half of 1948. We have reached and passed the middle of the year, the turning point for better or worse We cannot go back to correct the mistakes of the past sis months or make up the ground lost, but we can use our experiences, thing* we have learned by trial and error, as a basis (or future plana and action. Though the hours we have wasted snd lost «re gone forever, many precious minutes can be regained between now and the end of the year by redoubling our efforts to attain the goals we had visioned in the earlier months.
We started out in January with whef appeared to he a very ambitious
program of how we were going to celebrate the two Juvenile anniversaries which the Society it observing this year—the 35th of the Juvenile De* partment and the 10th of our Juvenile Circles. Yes, frankly, this was to be one of our rrost active snd itmceseful years. More social and sport activities, more hew Circles, more new members, more contributors for "The Voice of Youth", more of everything good for SNPJ juveniles. In some ways we have succeeded, in many ways we have failed.
Lodges and federations were expected to respond spontaneously and give their wholehearted support either by staging special affairs or incorporating features in their programs that would honor the Juvenile anniversaries. .Somehow things have not materialized along the lines we had hoped they would. Our juvenile anniversaries have not been accepted with the spirit and enthusiasm they richly deserve. Neither have thty been publicized and encouraged sufficiently in the columns of our Official Organ. If we want our organization to grow and progress as one of America's progressive fraternal institutions, then we've got to get behind our juveniles and our adult youth, aa strongly as we support and aid other movements, and show them what the SNP/ means and what a wonderful opportunity is theirs to secure real freedom, justice, and a larger share of the fruits of their labor through channels offered and recommended by the SNPJ. These things do not come of themselves.
Otof of she hundred lodges which make up the Society at least a hundred of them were counted on to honor one or both juvenile anniversaries with a celebration of some kind—a dance, social, picnic, program or combination of these. If not a special affair then, at least, a lodge meeting should be set aside for the purpose of bringing the Juvenile mem hers together for a treat and entertainment in recognition Of the fact that they form a very important part of out- great organization. It is a re-gettable fact that very few lodges have so fsr shown any real desire at inclination to designate a day to appropriately honor Juveniles. True, our Circles are doing their share in this respect and will do more, but not 4 enough of the lodges who have no Circles.
It is all too evident that juveniles are still looked upon by many of us as that portion of humanity which should be seen but not heard. All too frequently we misunderstand and misjudge them. Instead of taking them into our confidence and working with them, we are alt too willing to shun and push them aside, because that Is the esiest way out of a problem which is difficult and common to every generation'. It means hard work and responsibility to plan snd carry out worthwhHa projects for them, but certainly there should be less shirking of duty and obligation erpedally in this year of juvenile anniversaries.
It Is not too late to demortstrste our trust and respect for youth. There is still time to rectify our attitudes snd decisions favorably to them. Let us, therefore, join hsnds, Juveniles snd aduHa. in the remaining six months of 1S46 and give to SNPJ. as we have never given before, in honor of the 36th Anniversary of the Juvenile Department and IOth Anniversary of Juvenile Circles—by making the membership campaign a huge suecess with a majority of lodges attsining their quotas. by organizing many new Juvenile Circles, by promoting and developing ali kinda of healthful and educational activities, by increasing the flow of contributions to "The Vole* of Youth" until every lodge and Circle is represented, and by having scores of Juvenile snniversary celebrations all over the country, with the greatest and most spectacular demonstration climaxing tha National SNPJ Day program at Milwsukee, Wis., in September. Onward with SNPJ Juveniles*	MICHAEL VRHOVNIK, Juvenile Director

The purpose of this contest was to encourage members with artiatic talent to design and enter drawings sym-Itolising the spirit und tradition of the Society with special reference to youth, the best of which would be used as a oovlr illustration for the July issue of The Voice of Youth dedicated to our two Juvenile anniversaries.
First place honors were awatded to two seventeen year old juvenile members, both leient high school graduates, namely, Albert A. Kom-psrs Jr. of Lodge 3IS. Canton.

Sometime ago I stated thet when the Juvenile Circle becomes a reality we may learn something from them. We have already discovered some fine talent amongst the yung-sters. Hats off to the kiddies. They have entertained us a couple of times already. How about turning tables and entertaining them for a change? Do you remember way back when the Spirita were in their infancy, they produced some fine plays? I wonder what became of some of their talents. Surely, not too old to produce something worthwhile again perhaps this fislt? How about it?
Sorry to hear thst Mrs, John Buckowitz is on the sick list, as are Stanley Schober, Mary Petrovlc and Tony Hervatin. We wish you all a speedy recovery.

Jugoslav Leader Never Played Role of Abject Moscow Puppet After Victory of His Partisans
By VICTOR M. BIENSTOCK (ONA Foreign Editor)
(Copyright, 1948, Overseas News Agency, Inc.)
Five years ago, in Cairo, when news of a mysterious Partisan leader named Tito first began to seep through the Allied censorship from the obscurity of Nazi-occupied Jugoslavia, I asked British intelligence officers a question no one really could answer at the time. Last week, the Soviet .Union,
ters during the war was to keep him supplied with cigarettes.
Largely self-educated, Tito has, according to his admirers, an amazing knowledge of the classics. He is said to be an omnivorous reader. He speaks German and Russian, ih addition to Serbo-Croat, and Slovene, and understands French and English. Tito does not allow much to be known of his private life. He is now married, for the second time, to a Slovene woman who studied economics at the University of Za greb and who has been active politically in organizing women.
The Jugoslav dictator gave some pretty broad hints of the policies he had in mind—which have now caused such acute anguish to the Kremlin—in an interview he ac corded just two years ago to ONA Correspondent Arthur Qaeth in the Beli Dvor palace at Belgrade..'
Comparing the Russian and Jugoslav revolutions and the time necessary to consolidate them, Tito told Gaeth:
"I think it will not require as much time in our country because
through its agency, the Cominform, provided an answer in the form of the sensational denunciation of Marshal Josef Broz-Tito and his closcst associates.
The question was: Is Tito merely an agent of the Kremlin and Comin-tern, who would seek to make Jugoslavia a Communist land and a puppet of the Soviet Union, or is he a Jugoslav patriot who envisions his country's future as that of an independent state organized on Com« munist political lines?
The answer in 1943, when the Western Allies decided to throw their full support to Tito, was a toss-up. Tito, in organizing the Partisan forces, played down Communism and stressed the national character of his Partisan movement in which priests as well as political commissars had a role. It was "anti-Fafi-cism" rather than "Communism" and "anti-Fascist Front" rather than "Communist movement." Allied intelligence officers assigned to liaison with fTito and the Partisans were, in large part, convinced that Tito, in the postwar era, would follow an independent policy and seek friendly relations with the West as well us with Russia. - »
Later', when the Nazis had been driven from the land and a swift campaign had destroyed all organized opposition to his rule, Tito established a "People's Front" government rather than an open Communist regime. Communists, though they held power in the People's Front, did not rule as Communists. The Marshal and his advisers, undisputed lords of the land, immediate ly began the introduction of a num ber of Communist measures, without, however, going the whole Soviet hog. The Soviet "advisers" who were abundant at first, were discouraged from over-activity on Jugoslav territory and Tito soon made it evident that he intended to rule his own roost.
In foreign policy he strung along with the Kremlin but did not yield up certain ambitions of his own— such as a pan-Slav federation em. bracing all the Slavic peoples of Europe outside the Soviet Union. His violent propaganda campaign iijRnn.sti'thfr! United States was dictated in part by the Moscow line and in large part by his need to offset the traditional Jugoslav affection for the United States.
But Josef Broz-Tito was not the man to play a puppet's role.
The one impression that everyone came away with after seeing and talking with Tito is that of a personality described as "terrific." Dur- j rg^«,^ everybody concerned ran for ing the war he completely won cover Cringing under the blast of over some of Winston Churchill s .headlines, the Commerce Dept. re-closest personal aides and I have y^ed licenses for many goods tar-heard one of them repeatedly extol marited for export to the Soviet the Partisan leader in terms that ( union< Poland and Jugoslavia.

The fighting Words
By Senator Glen Taylor
When the campaign really gets under way after the conventions, the Republicans and Democrats are going to say terrible things about each other and most all of them are going to be true.
I have talked about many things in my campaign trips about the nation to date, but I believe the one thing that strikes home to my listeners with greatest effect is when I quote from a recent statement of Admiral Zachariss that the atom bomb is now our fourth and moat destructive weapon. And then he goes on to say that if 250 of our present day atom bombs were to be exploded any place on earth there would be no place on earth habitable. This drives home to the people the utter futility of preparing for a war in which everyone on aarth will propably. perish. We have hundreds of bomu, more than enough to destroy life on this planet, and yet we make more bombs, appropriate billions for rifles and tanks and airplanes, and pass indraft law.
. We must of course discuss all the issues, point up Truman's paradoxical habit of vetoing and then making no real effort to sustain the veto, of writing liberal sounding messages and making liberal speeches and then appointing reactionaries to top Government jobs and bowing to the will of the monopolists when their Middle East oil is in danger. We must call attention to the terrible record of the Republican Congress these past two years; their failure to act on such vital issues as price

That po^er is being exercised by the steel trust against the weUare of the country. Tha postwar jnfln-tion which has undermined tho liv» ing ftandards of tha peopje has been stoked by the giant steel corporations.

To slibi their fsilure to grant the steel workers s Justified wage increase, the steel corporations rer duced prises by $75 million a year a couple of months ago. As against this reduction, they had increased prices by over $750 million in the past iyo years. Now the trade press reports thst the steel corporations are preparing to put through ,g fourth round of inflationary price increases
The steel «trust can put through these increases because of its tight monopoly controls. The four larg est steel corporations—U.S. Steel, Bethlehem, Republic and Jones 3t
solidation could come more quickly or it could take more time.
"In conclusion. L want to emphasize what, has happened in Jugoslavia. We have not undergone a revolutionary change in the full sense, This is a people's republic. We have private property and much else as it existed in the past so thst we differ from the Soviet Union,"
And of what the Cominform statement this week regarded as anathema—the existence of private enterprise in Jugoslavia—Tito had this to say:
"Private enterprise in our country can develop and is necessary to us. The national stores and industries under state control should be no obstacle to its development."

By FEDERATED PRESS
WASHINGTON.—(FP)—American workers face the second year of the Taft-Hartley act beginning June 23 with anti-labor employers eager for even tighter restrictions on union rights than they got in 1047.
" henry wallace says-
The time has come for us to examine American foreign policy with a thoroughness that the press has not made possible.
When we get a peace to end the cold war—wi.en we learn that dedication to service, not force, will enable us lo survive strong and free, then—and only then—shall wu have tha kind of America our resources and science and manpower make possible.	*
An Amcncs that depends for prosperity on preparations for war and on the atmosphere of crisis, It not an America Uuit can survive as s democracy. Only dictatorships; only totalitarian forms of government need war and the spirit of war tn justify their iron stranglehold on the liber-tits of the people
I have said* and 1 say again, that peaoe is practical. Peace can be infinitely more profitable than war. The profits of peace are lasting blets-,u»gs—and the benefits of peace enrich all the people, not Just the corporate few.	i , i,
Jt is the few, the greedy, shortsighted, much too powerful few who ate feeding the flamee that can make a cold war hot. The same few who poa-n the private power--the private resources to outlast the public when inflation shrinks take-home pay. The few who possess the private power can outwit workers striking for a living wage—and their private power has been strenghtened by laws like the Taft-Hartley Act, by the government's use of time-dishonored injunctions.
I The more than five billioii dollars we have suuk into tupporing corruption and reaction in Greece and China would have daveloptrd not only the power of the West, but of the Missouri Valley and other areas.
A mere fraction ot what the bipartisan« are upending for military purposes could bring unheard of benefits to the underprivileged areas of America, A small part of thuse billions would provide absolute security for our senior ciUmu—old •»*»■ pensions amounting l*> at least $100 a month could bling the blusaings uf dignity and usefulness to those senlor cltlrens to whom our generals and war-makers give no thought.
/F SPENT FOR PMCJF |How lightly they decile that, It would take about ttiret« billion dollars a year tq operate a program of Universal Military Training.	t
That sum could do wonders for a happier, healthier, more secure America at peace.	. *
It would build a modern schoulhouse, u library, a modern hospital in every county in the United States,
It could provide nurses, full-time health services, ten new school buses in every county In the nation
It could provide facilities and guidance for recreation, build and maintain tuition-free junior colleges,in every county.
That S billion dollars could provide education opportunities for at least 3 million young people a year who are now faceting nq education ut all. This is what we mean when wo say that peace Is practical.
ANTIFASCISTS	v , 4,
I am intensely shocked at the Supreme Court's refusal to hear the appeal of the 11, leaders ol the Joint Anti-Fascist Refugee Committee.
The crime for which these II men and women will now be sent to prison was opposition to the fascism of Franco Spain and aid to thoae who suffered under fascism. Brcaute they refused to rspoae the names of their contributors lo the publicity and persecution that would most cetialnly follow wsemlnatlon of their records by the Un-Americsn committee, they wqre tried and sentenced for contempt of Congress.
Those who believe that the basic duty of the Supreme Court b the protection uf the Constitution from irresponsible infringement cannot fall to Ire alarmed by the Court's refusal even to hear the case of these antifascists, The qoui t's action can st em no lets than a most tragic retreat in the face of a real threat to the most fundamental liberties of all Americans I hup*, that people of good heart throughout the nation will write immediately to President Truman, calling upon him lo esurclse his powers of ulemeucy tq free these valiant Americans. Ills failure lo do ao will only under the more «hallow our talk of fieodom abroad while basic dam» ocratlc rights are suppressed at home.—The Citften,
In the coming year the present law will bear heavily on labor because:	M
I. Many big contracts, signed just before the Taft-Hartley deadline last summer, face renewal Bargaining will be 100% under Taft-Hartley condition«.
t. Employers, hesitant to exploit the new law to full advantage at once, will open up with now-legal anti-labor activity—particularly after the 104$ elections.
3. Employers nope to exploit so-called "difficulties" even under the T-L law, In p drive for more legislation against labor.
The Joint Committee on Labor-Management Relations, meeting recently to consider revision of the Taft-Hartley law, discussed five changes as to the most important at the moment. Th* committee view, expressed by Chairman Joe H. Ball (R. Minn.), is thst of industry.
Ball suggested (I) doing away with compulsory union Ihop elections, or outlawing the union shop; (2) outlawing industry-wide bargaining; (3) removing union welfare funds from collective bargaining; (4) setting up special labor courts to interpret some sections of the isw and enforce them by injunction; and (S) outlawing strikes and strike threats where the employer claims the union demands are unlawful.
Spokesmen for major industries and the Natl. Assn of Manufac-turers, at well as Gerard Reilly, former NLRB member who helped ghostwrite the T H law, enthusiae-tically applauded meat of these suggestions They added their own, too. That will be their legislative program when the $lst Congress meets nest January.
In recent hearings on socalled right-to work legislation, the House labor committee showed Itself ready for more law to aid strikebreaking Proposals Included streamlined use of court injunctions with federal troops to smash picketlines
One of the major threats to labor which will develop this year is a concerted refusal of employers to bargain with unions not in compliance with Taft-Hartley filing re-quire menta The non-complying union cannot complain of this refusal to the NRH It must fight It out by economic action.
In some caaes. employers have begun to cooperate with certified unions, particularly those representing only a part of their employes, le order to evade dealing with the eetaMiahed anion which has not complied The aeriiuns of the T-M law permitting sepetal* bargaining unite of parUvulai groups of work ers will permit more of thai refusel. It will alao encouiage bieaking up big union*
' Sooner or later a d«u-» mined company Will refuse to bargain with a complying union on the claim that one or more «1 <«s officers is a member of a group seeking the over throw of the U S government,
Improper. They will use Atty. Gen Tom Clark's socalled subversive list as a «tail, and Improve upon it How the NLRB, the courta and the unions will deal with this tactic remains to be seen.
In organizing drives, companies have been given the green light to use their socalled free sneech right to the limit. Barring orfly "threats of repiiaal or promise of benefit," the NLRB permits companies Ui do almost anything with rallies, literature and activity by foremen to de-feat unions in elections.
The lebor spy racket is protected by the T-H law, aince company men may not be expelled from a union ahop except for non-payment uf dues. They will Ire bought and paid to stay in every union where the boss thinks they csn be useful.
The national emergency clause authorizing the President to seek an injunction against certain strikes "affecting national health and safety" will Ire used more frequently, Administration leaders have made it clear that production for the European Recovery Program (Msr-shall plan) and for military preparedness must not be seriously interrupted. Already a threatened strike which would have tide up but 10% of the long-distance phone calls was put in t^iis claas,
A recent NLRH decision on the union shop issue showed the board will bow to a state law which Is more restrictive thsn the Taft-Hartley law. Following this principle, the NLRB may let state legislation set the lule in many other ipn fields	I Mw

The Jews are not responsible for the disturbed condition of the Eastern Mediterranean area. Neither are the Arabs. Nor are the oii companies. Moscow, London and Washington are surely not responsible for the presence in the Arabian sands of extensive petroleum deposits. Under the ruthless game of power politics as it is now played the natural resources and trade possibilities of the Near East make it a conflict area, and it will continue to be a conflict area until a competent world government can establish and enforce rules under which trade may be carried on and resources developed for common human advantage rather than for private profit.
I am sorry for the Jewish people as I am sorry for every displaced group whether it is small or large. I am particularly sorry for the Jews because many of them have suffered atrociously during the past decade. But if they will insist upon a mars migration into the Near East they run head-on into a situation to which the old saying applies only too well: "Can a man put his hand in the fire and not be burned?"
WORLD EVENTS
By Scott N earing
Palestine has held the headlines during recent weeks. Zionist-Arab League war has increased in intensity, and thus far the United Nations l«as continued to talk and investigate and has failed to act
The Zionist-Arab War must be taken as a matter of course. The world being set up and maintained "in balance" by a dog eat-dog power struggle between rival and competing groups, the mass migration of Jews in Palestine was bound to stir opposition among the occupying Arab population. Against their will the Jews were forced out of Central Europe. Like their ancestors, who left Egypt and crossed the Red Sea. these displaced Europeans turned their stepa toward the Promiaed Land. Then as now, the Promised Land was occupied. Then as now. the occupying population resented and resisted the mass migration.
Mass migration has led to war in the past, and undoubtedly it will continue to lead to war in the future unless it is carried out under the direction of a competent political authority. Many people had hoped that after the end of the 1930-4ft war such an authority would be established When the U.N. Charter was drawn up, there were some who continued to hope. Even today there are individuals, with their heads in the sand, who insist on believing that the United Nations is a government and not merely a debating society, resesrch bureau and relief agency. Such believer» have been swallowing bitter medicine during the Palestine civil war.
By a narrow margin and through methods which smacked strongly of coercion, the U.N. decided upon the partition of Palestine. Partition is a poor word in this case, because a partition usually divides into two parts, whereas the U.N. division plan for Palestine made a geographical hash of the area. Under the circumstances "dismemberment" is more correctly descriptive. Partir tion was actively supported by the United States, the Soviet Union and a narrow majority of U.N. member states.
Meanwhile the United States oil interests, whose chief concern in the Near East is to have oil pumped to refineries and loading points along the Mediterranean with the least possible delay and the Isrgest possible profit, suoceeded in convincing the TVuman Administration that a United Palestine under a U.N. trusteeship was better for business than a hashed-up Palestine harried by civil war. Whereupon U.S.A. Delegate Austin, who had led the fight for partition, reversed his position and advocated unity under trustee-ship.
The U S A is the richest snd best-arrned nation on earth, with something more than half of the world's hesvy industry. Washington has siso established a planetary breadline in which any anti-communist nation can wait its turn for a handout. Under these circumstances Mr, Austin's reversal of position automatically deprived the U.N. of any power to act. because the U.N, is not a governmental authority but a loose aggregation of sovereign member states, two of whom rule the roost. A vigorous dissent from either Moscow or Washington, and more especially under present circumstances from Washington, makes U. N set ion all but impossible.
This quick turn in U S A. policy was bewildering to the uninformed observer, But other surprises were coming. On Msy 14 st four in the afternoon a group of Zionist leaders assembled in Tel Aviv snd announced the establishment of the sovereign Stste of Isresl At mid-night the British High Commissioner sailed from Haifs Twenty minutes later President Truman accorded U S A. recognition to the new State of lareel At dawn on the Iftth Egyptian planes were dropping bombs on Tel Aviv and the Arab invasion of Palestine had begun

Slavic American Hits at Cold War
Spring-SummeF Issue Now On Sale
The American Slav Congr< makes another outstanding contribution to peace and democracy with the new issue of its quarterly publication. THE SLAVIC AMERICAN.
Anti-Slav hysteria is on the increase. with a steady stream of lies and distortions in press, radio and magazine about Slavic Americans and the Slav countries. All this was climaxed recently with the issuance of a second list of organizations blacklisted by the Attorney General's office as subversive. Of the thirty-two organizations listed, twelve were Slavic American.
Into this atmosphere of confusion, the new issue of THE SLAVIC AMERICAN brings a measure of clarity and reason. An instance of this is the penetrating analysis by Johqpnes Steel of what happened in Czechoslovakia. Columnists and editorial writers are giving every version of the government change in that country except the people's version. At least we have an unusually expert report on those February events by the noted news an

It was a hard winter. Snow, sleet and ice were the rule. Last summer was not ideal either, with widespread drought and foreet fires. For one group, however, the tough weather had advantages: it provided those responsible for our power shortage with the world's oldest alibi—blame it on the weather. But the fundi-mental causes of the present muscle-bound condition of the country are to be found, not in bad winter or a dry summer, but in the basic philosophy of the power companies and the political pressure they exert.
From the northern tip ot Maine to San Diego, California, the country is suffering from a shortage ot electricity for light and power. Power companies know this shortage may have political consequences. That much is obvious from the r desperate efforts to keep the facts from the public.
A recent article of mine in Collier's, Our Lights Ara Going Out. analyzed the power shortage. It aroused the bitter condemnation of private power interests and the big suppliers of electrical equipment, in eluding General Elc:tric« Several companies threatened to withdraw their advertising from Collier's, shouted "communism," and demanded the heads of editorr. One able editor, André Fontaine, was fired at once, according to Newsweek and Time of June 7, and a sac -nd. summary dismissal, that of Managing Editor Joe Alex Morris, soon fol

WASHINGTON — (FP) — NLRB used the Taft-Hartley act as a weapon to attack maritime hiring halls in decision released June 24.
The case involved the Natl. Maritime Union (CIO) and four Great Lakes oil tanker firms. NLBB trial examiner Howard Myers claimed the NMU violated Taft-Hartley in saying that tanker crews should be hired through the union hall. Myers said:
•The Act now'prohibits the hiring hall clause, as written into the contracts received in evidence in the instant case . , . This elapse is clear-, ly repugnant to 'the Act."
In his charge of violation of Taft-Hartley, Myers named the NMU and seven union officials including NMU Pres. Joseph Curran.
The hiring hall has been the pivot of 15 years grim struggle on the waterfront on both coasts. Tha union hall has been the unions' best defense against crimps, shape-ups, discrimination and the whole list of unionbreaking dodges.
Myers charged that the union hiring hall was a form of closed shop, banned by Taft-Hartley. He brushed aside the fact, as proved by the union, that both members and non-members can ship through the NMU halls.
Myers ssid: "¿Jfye record . .. clearly indicates that the hiring halls maintained by NMU are for members and non-members. The former, however, are given first chance lo take any job that Is offered."
Myers indicated he recognized at least some of the facts of life when he quoted union officials and the NMU Pilot as saying that the hlr-| ing hall is "the life blood ot the ot-I ganization."
Myers decision Is certain to be of importance in maritime contract negotiations now tied up by injunctions on !>oth («oasts. The decision contained a note of warning of more injunctions to come. Myers recommended that the NMU be ordered to stop "requiring that employers ugree to secure their respective unlicensed personnel through the medium of the hiring halls''
in an article whieh boldly asks the question, "Why the Cold War on our Slav Allies?" The New Party Pres-idential candidate decries the unfavorable policies toward our former allies as detrimental to us «nd world peace. In his article, Wallace urges that aid to Europe should be allotted on the equitably basis employed by UNRRA. Government spending should be directed toward building for peace, not war, says Wallace.

attacks on TVA, on Bonneville, and on state legislatures which have ideas about rate-making or regulation continue without let-up. The legislative friends of the power companies help in this game. Recently, after closed hearings, a House appropriation subcommittee rejected a TVA request for funds with which to build a steam plant at New John-sonville, Tennessee. The power lobbyists say the industry fears the competition of TVA, but the proposed plant would have served an area in which no private companies operate. The private companies ignore the fact that there is a grave national power shortage and that every additional kilowatt is precious.
They bombard Congress and the country, with statements that TVA sells power to big industry too cheaply. They know that interrup-tibie power—power which is delivered < only when available—is always sold at a lower rate than firm power, since residential users and most businesses do not buy it. but they attack TVA for a practice that is common among private companies and pose as the defenders of the municipalities and cooperatives which pay higher rates to TVA for a dependable power supply.
Weeping for the municipal and cooperative customers of TVA is pnly part of the act put on by the power companies. They lament that the rest of the country will soon have no industry: all factories will be moved to the Tennessee Valley.
Edison Electric Institute, was quoted ih the Electric World for July 26, They picture a deserted Detroit and
1947, as saying that "rumors of an impending shortage of electric power in the United States are "unwarranted" and "untrue."

The catastrophic? drive to war and its significance especially to Slavic Americans is examined in a searching article by George Piringky, Executive Secretory of the A8C. In this he puts the spotlight on the little-known conspiracy engaged in By "exile peasant leaders" in Washington under State Department sponsorship. In an effort to return erstwhile pro-fascist regimes to their countries, men like Maeek, Mikolajczyk are plotting war aginst their countrymen with the help of groups in this country hostile to the regularly established governments in Eastern Europe,
There were just a handful of men in Congress who were loyal to Roo sevelt's program for social welfare, extension of civil liberties and la> bor's rights, and friendship with all peace-loving nations. Slavic Americans may Jvell be proud that several of these lawmakers are of Slav descent. The first of a series of revealing interviews is the story of > Congressman George Sadowski of
Pittsburgh, with signs posted on every factory gate—"Moved to the Tennessee Valley, where power is cheap." They accuse the TVA of luring industry away from its pres-. ent sites, although that is exactly what they do themselves.

The great California utility network of Pacific Gas and Electric had said early in 1947 that its customers had nothing to worry about; the company could take Care of the demand even in the driest year. Today P. G. and E. is blaming the drought, but behind the drought lies another reason. For years P. G. and E. has had as its basic policy the obstruction of the Central Valley. Project, which might now. had it been completed, be providing power. P. G. and E.'s effective political activities helped to make the shortage inevitable.
In Missouri plants have also been forced to close, and distributing cooperatives set up by the Rural Electrification Administration have had to limit electricity for farmers and grain elevators because their sup-oliers have been unable to provide power. All through the Middle West urban as well as rural electrification is in trouble, especially in the Missouri Valley, where the utilities have halted in the development of publicly owned power on the "Big Muddy" and its tributaries.

than ever they would like the public to forget their long political record and ignore their prcaent activities. In Montana the privately owned power company not only claims all the available water in the Missouri River but has staked out for itself "appropriations of water greater than the total flow," in the words of Montana's attorney general. Meanwhile the Montana Power Company follow a dog-in-the-manger policy.

action as a contributing cause of the recent disastrous floods in the Columbia Valley. Floods or no floods, their drive against Bonneville and the great California Central Valley Project goes on. It takes many forms, including even an attempt to deprive Reclamation Commissioner Michael Straus of his job.
In the last forty years eighty-tv/o bills have ben introduced into Congress to curb the activities of the tremendous corps of power lobbyists that infests Washington, but the industry has such influence that not one of these bills has been enacted into law.
There have been spectacular Congressional investigations in the same period. Some, like the famous inquiry begun in 1928 by Senator George Norris, were block-busters. The disclosure that the National Electric Light Association was subsidizing teachers and corrupting education shocked the nation. The N.E.L.A., was forced by that exposure to change its name; it became the Edison Electric Institute However, the industry's political ao tivities did not cease. In fact, in the last session of Congress, according to Senators Murray and H:'l, power-company lobbying reached an all-time peak. The Industry carried on its political Operations opcnlj through the newly created National Association of Electric Companies, which is headed by Purcell Smith-an agggrcssive $65.000-a-year lobbyist of long experience. Mr. Smith was formerly president of the Midwest Corporation, once the keystone of the Insull empire.
The crestion of the N. A. E. C i should have put the country on notice that instead of worrying about the power shortage and planning, expansion the companies were concentrating on political action designed to stop the extension of public power and to capture existing publicly owned developments. To provide a smoke screen for this political barrage the public-relation« departments of U*c industry hoish'd once again the free-enterprise flag and in a flood of slick paid propaganda in big magasines. on the air. and in newspapers—tiny country weeklies as well as huge metropolitan dailies—attempted to bury the memory of Insull snd Hopaon. of the water in their stocks, the frsn-ehiaes in their boots, and the many skeletons in their closets.
